Installation and
commissioning
The installation and commissioning of the HX260 satellite router
is a multi-step process. The workflow and chapter reference
numbers for the process steps follow.
1. Preparing the satellite router for installation

Commissioning is the process of registering an HX260 satellite
router for service. During the commissioning process you may
use auto selection or manual entry of parameters.
"
Manual Commissioning - This mode requires you to enter all
parameters manually.
"
Satellite Based Commissioning - Allows you to choose the
Network Access Provider (NAP) from a list. Many of the
commissioning parameters are automatically configured for
the provider chosen. You can also select satellite transponder
information.
Maximum Input Level
-8 dBm (Composite)
Input Return Loss
>8 dB (Min) from 950 MHz to 2150 MHz into 75 ohm
Symbol rates
256 ksps, 512 ksps, 1.024 Msps and 2.048 Msps
Note:
The HX260 requires an input frequency accuracy of +/-
35kHz (LNB and transponder combined). The LNB must be a
phase locked loop (PLL) LNB with an external or internal
reference. For internal reference LNBs, the frequency stability
should be +/- 3 ppm to maintain less than +/- 35kHz with
transponder offsets. External reference LNBs must be able to lock
to a 10MHz signal provided though the IFL cable.
Note:
When using a 1.8m or larger antenna with this indoor unit
(IDU), use 100 ft minimum of RG-11 IFL cable.
