Calibration of the SAILOR 900 VSAT
To make an azimuth calibration with user defined input, do as
follows:
1. Select User defined in the Satellite drop down list.
2. Type in the longitude and polarisation skew of the satellite. The
polarisation skew is provided by the satellite operator, it is
typically 0 degrees. For satellite data see DVB-S satellites on
page E-1, www.lyngsat.com.
Important
The calibration function is not able to verify the
correctness or precision of the supplied longitude. It
is therefore important to supply the correct
longitude including the first decimal.
3. Select the polarisation of a transponder and type in its frequency
and symbol rate.
4. Select which satellite identifier to use for identification of the
signal.
Satellite identifier NID value Description
NID 0 Satellite identifier is not used.
NID 1—65534 Supplied NID is matched against
Network ID broadcast by the satellite.
Orbital position n.a. Supplied longitude is matched with
orbital position broadcast by satellite.
Not all service providers broadcast the
orbital position.

5. Click Start and wait typically 5 minutes for the calibration to
finish. A progress bar is shown during calibration and a message
is displayed when the calibration has completed. In case of
failure, see the table in the following section for a description of
error codes during calibration.
Important It is strongly recommended to verify the result of a
calibration performed with user defined data. This
can be done by making a new calibration on a
different satellite and verify that the resulting
Azimuth calibration value differs less than one
degree.
6. Click Start below Cable calibration and wait typically 10 minutes
for the calibration to finish. A message is displayed when the
calibration has been completed successfully.
