8.4 Cold Start: X1 Outdoor
An Evolution X1 Outdoor Satellite Router is designed to operate in ambient temperatures as
low as -40
o
C. However, if the Satellite Router is without power long enough for the internal
temperature to fall below -25
o
C, a warm-up period is required before becoming operational.
The warm-up period for the X1 Outdoor Satellite Router depends on the internal modem
temperature measured at the time power is restored. The warm-up periods are defined in
Table 4 .
During the warm-up period, a Web iSite connection to the Evolution X1 Outdoor Satellite
Router can be established using a Web browser. Although the X1 Outdoor has only one physical
LED indicating power, four LED-like indicators on the X1 Web iSite pages show the current
state of the Satellite Router. During warm up, the LEDs display the following colors:
•
Receive : Yellow
• Network : Yellow
• Transmit : Yellow
• Power : Green
Using Web iSite, observe the Evolution X1 Dashboard ( Figure 29 on page 48 ) during the warm-
up period. On the Dashboard:
•
The Temperature field increases as the modem warms up.
• The Satellite Rx field shows Waiting for Demod Lock .
Once warm-up is complete, the Web iSite status indicators show the same status as the
Evolution X1 Indoor Satellite Router LEDs. See
Table 9 on page 96 for details.
