Find Sys
Status X If the satellite modem enters this phase before
pointing was completed, use the Back button
(1) to return to Point mode. In this phase, you must wait for the satellite
modem IDU to finish a task.
Find Sys
Failed Error message if cell selection fails. This is a
terminal pointing state, since the satellite
modem IDU cannot move forward with this
error. Reboot the IDU
Tx Pol
Left (or Right) During cell selection, it is possible that the
closest working cell is in an adjacent UL cell
that requires flipping the polarizer on the ODU.
If a polarization change is needed, the IDU will
send commands to the DAPT to indicate which
pol setting should be used. For instructions on
reversing circular polarization, see the
installation guide for the specific antenna
model being installed. Adjust the polarizer to the proper setting,
then press
Advance to proceed to the next
phase.
Beacon
Lost IDU has detected loss of beacon lock. If
beacon lock is reacquired within 10 seconds,
the pointing process continues. Otherwise, the
satellite modem IDU returns to the Pointing
state. This error may occur while you are putting
the squinter on the feed horn during fine
pointing or validation. You must keep the
loss duration under 10 seconds to prevent
the satellite modem IDU from going back to
the Pointing state.
DAPT not
responding If the DAPT is mistakenly connected to the
transmit cable instead of the receive cable, the
DAPT is programmed to partially shut down
because it is not designed to handle the
amount of voltage coming from the transmit
cable. In this case, the DAPT backlight shuts
off, the buttons do not respond, and the voltage
reading in the display is at or near 50 volts. This error may occur after the DAPT is first
connected. Disconnect the DAPT from the
transmit cable and connect it to the receive
cable.
