Audience
Two types of audiences are assumed to be users of this guide:
The primary audience is the technical user who is assumed to have a working
knowledge of satellite and telecommunications equipment. These users include
installation technicians, network operators, and on-site technical staff who work
directly with the equipment to install it, verify its functionality, or perform network
maintenance or troubleshooting procedures.
The second type of audience may not deal directly with the equipment, but needs a
general understanding of the context in which the IDR V1000 operates and an
overview of the receiver’s operational capabilities.
Organization
Sections 2 and 3 are intended for the technical user who needs procedures for
installing the IDR V1000 and verifying or troubleshooting its operation. Terminology

information are referred to Section 4.
Section 4 is a functional overview that describes data transfer, general network
functions, and data handling within the IDR V1000. Terms and concepts encountered
