Section 1. Using This Guide
This guide describes how to install and use a WavePhore Intelligent Data Receiver™
V1000 (IDR V1000). The IDR V1000s comprise a family of satellite receivers that
receive, demodulate, and process data streams over high-speed carriers. These data
streams supply real-time news, market information, and other subscription services to
businesses.
The IDR V1000 family includes four models. The models are virtually identical in
appearance and basic operation, but they each provide a unique set of data handling or
connectivity options:
• The basic model (1235) provides the basic receiver capabilities with one
asynchronous, serial output port.
• The 4-port model (1236) includes the optional 4-port serial daughtercard for
multiple serial output connections.
• The Reed-Solomon model (1216) includes the integrated Reed-Solomon Forward
Error Correction capability along with the additional 4-port serial output ports.
• The Ethernet model (1233) includes the optional Ethernet daughtercard for
connection to Local Area Network (LAN) devices.
