Specifications

Over Current Ev counts the number of times the LNB drew too much current. These events

(Ev) always should be 0. If not, you should check your LNB.

I2C Errors (I squared C – I

C) count the errors the processor has. Any errors here indicate an

internal problem in the receiver and it will need to be repaired.

Lost Lock Ev counts the number of time the receiver lost its lock with the carrier. If these

events (Ev) happen, you should make sure your dish is properly aligned. It also happens

during the spring and fall sun transit outages, because the carrier is lost when the satellite

comes directly between your antenna and the sun. If nothing has changed, then this

should be 0.

Control Address: 239.239.239.128

Control Port: 23456

Control Pkts: 5622

Control Address is the address used by the receiver to receive commands from the Command

Interface.

Control Port is the port used by the receiver to accept the commands from the Control

Address.

Control Pkts (control packets) reflect the number of packets sent to the receiver from the

Command Interface.

MPEG IRQs (MPEG Interrupt Requests) count the number of interrupt requests generated to

process data from the transport stream.

Transp Pkts (Transport Packets) counts the number of packets received from the transport

stream.

Transp Pkt Errs (Transport Packet Errors) counts the number of packet errors from the

transport stream. This number should be low; however, during the Sun Transit Outages,

this will climb up significantly. If you see this number increasing, make sure you check

your equipment. Severe weather also could cause it to climb. Most of the errors will be

fixed by the FEC (Forward Error Correction).

Transp Syn Errs (Transport Packet Synchronous Errors) counts the packets that do not have a

valid header. This should be 0 most of the time.

Data Queue gives you the size of the queue and is a fixed number. This is the temporary

storage for data as it comes from the data stream.

Data Queue Max is the amount of valid data in the queue to be processed.

Data Queue Ovf (Overflow) counts the number of times the data queue overflowed the data

queue. This should always be 0.
