4-4 Installation
Establish Configuration Parameters
Operating parameters must be defined prior to the CM601 installation in order to
configure it correctly and to verify that the unit performs in accordance with
system design specifications. The following parameters need to be identified:
Transmit parameters
Transmit IF frequency (TS)
Transmit modulation type (TM)
Transmit data rate (PTD)
Transmit FEC encoding type and rate (TC)
Transmit output power level (TP)
Receive parameters
Receive IF frequency (RS)
Receive demodulation type (RM)
Receive data rate (PRD)
Receive FEC decoding type and rate (RC)
Required IF frequency acquisition range (AR)
Bit timing and clocking interface parameters between the CM601 and the user
DTE; which includes:
Modulator bit timing (MB)
Modulator latching clock (ML)
Once all the above parameters have been defined, continue with step 2.
Step 2: Inspect the
CM601 System
Before performing a bench-top test or installing the CM601, examine the shipping
carton, and unpack and examine the modem.
ComStream satellite communications products contain static-sensitive electronics.
Use standard antistatic precautions and procedures when unpacking and handling
this equipment.
Examine the Shipping Cartons
CM601 shipping cartons are labeled with useful customer information and a list of
the contents. This information can be used to verify shipments against orders
without having to open the box. The customer name and P.O. number are
included, as well as the ComStream model number, part number, and Customer
Order Entry (C.O.E.) number. Note these numbers and include them in any
correspondence to ComStream concerning an order.
