Reference Signal
In the section General the RF Downlink frequency is
shown. Write it down as it is going to be used for the
selection of LNB LO.
Further down on the page you find the BUC and LNB LO
frequencies.
Depending on the RF Downlink frequency select an
appropriate LNB LO of 9.75, 10.25, 10.75 or 11.25 GHz
which will result in an L-band frequency between 950
and 1650 MHz which is the operating frequency band of
the Sky Edge II Access modem.
Select the BUC to be 12.8 GHz as this is the BUC LO of the
SAILOR 900 VSAT. Remember to inform the hub operator
about this when doing line up and commissioning.
The BUC 10MHz Reference Signal must be configured to
ON, otherwise the SAILOR 900 VSAT will never allow TX.
Scroll further down to enable GPS for the Location
Coordinates. This enables the serial protocol of the
modem so it can communicate with the ACU.
