Nera SatLink Terminal User Guide – Revision P

1. Introduction
The Nera SatLink 1000, 1900, 1901 and 1910 are members of the Nera SatLink Terminal family of DVB-
RCS Terminals. They act as IP routers to interface one or more PCs for bilateral communication via the
satellite network. This User Guide covers the installation and operation of the Nera SatLink
1000/1900/1901/1901, commonly also referred to as the indoor unit (IDU) of the DVB-RCS terminal,
together with the accompanying outdoor unit (ODU) equipment.
The parameters of equipment transmitting to satellites are regulated by national and international
authorities in several countries in the world and by the satellite operators themselves. The standards now
in force are described in references [7], [8], [9] and [10]. The SatLabs group, of which Nera Broadband
Satellite is a member, now works to establish type approval for DVB-RCS terminals in cooperation with
Cetecom. Nera will certify its DVB-RCS terminals by these type approval guidelines as soon as they have
been finalised.
