Configuration of the dual antenna solution
B.3.2 To configure the Master BDU
The configuration of the master BDU depends on which ports are used and how your
network has been configured.
Configure the Master BDU exactly the same way as a single SAILOR XTR Ka system. When
the Master BDU is configured, do as follows:
1. Click
SETTINGS > Dual antenna
.
2. Select
Set this antenna as master in dual configuration
and click
Apply
.
3. Dual antenna mode, select
Automatic Dual Mode
.
4. If needed, click
Switch
to the other antenna in the dual antenna system.
B.3.3 To configure the Slave BDU
The Slave BDU is configured to use the Master BDU as VSAT profile. The VSAT profile must
point to the IP address of the Master BDU, that is the IP address of the LAN port at which
the Master/Slave communication cable is connected.
1. Add a specific VSAT profile for dual antenna mode, go to
SETTINGS > VSAT profiles
.
2. Add a profile, name it for example
Dual Mode Master
.
3. Select modem type
Master ADU
.
Important
Before you enable dual mode, set up the master and the slave to be on the
same subnet but with different IP addresses. This is done on the page
Settings > Network
.
If you use the slave port 1, this is done on the page
VSAT profiles
of the
slave.
