Port Menu
Use this menu to configure RF In ports (Port 1 through Port 8). This menu is not
available when the Manual Tune menu has the Input field set to ASI In or GigE In.
That option is described on page 25.
Because the DSR-6100 has eight RF input ports that can potentially be used to
switch and tune signals from multiple satellite antenna, the DSR-6100 demands
there be an accurate association of the port with the Satellite and Polarity
designators programmed in the Uplink encoder system(s) to which we plan to
downlink from on each port.
Because accuracy is critical, a default Auto mode automatically updates the Sat (Satel-
lite) and Polar (Polarity) fields for the one port that is currently being tuned. This auto-
matic population of the fields occurs upon entry of acceptable channel information.
To ensure success in getting initial authorization, decryption, and output, leave this
menu unchanged in Auto mode (as shown below).
If the Uplink Signal Provider gives detailed instructions, set the Mode field to
Manual and set the Sat (Satellite) field and Polar (Polarity) field. Any mismatch
between what is entered into these fields and the Uplink encoder Satellite and
Polarity designations for the services will prevent authorization decryption and
service output. Satellite names and polarity designators for a given service do not
necessarily reflect actual satellite names or even the correct polarity of the actual
signal. These values are set within the provider’s encoder system.
ID Field
Default: 1
Use this field to choose which port to configure (1 through 8). Press the
