Slots configuration
Your SATCOM6 should be delivered preconfigured to your order instructions. To check the configuration, please follow the procedure
below.
1.
Check if the module is suitable to be used in the slot according to the pin outs it has (see table 1 in section 3).
2.
Using jumpers J11 and J21 configure pins 1 and 9 of the slot.
Setting the jumper to ‘POWER’ connects the relevant pin to
the output of the LNB card. S
etting to ‘DATA’ activates serial data interface (for serial digital modules in slots 3 or 6). If
using LNB power generated from SATCOM6 LNB power cards then slots 1, 2 and 3 are powered by LNB 1 (slot 7), and
slots 4, 5 and 6 are powered by LNB 2 (slot 8).
3.
If an RF switch
card is fitted to a slot check SW2 is in ‘YES’ position, otherwise place it in the ‘NO’ position.
4.
Serial digital cards can only be used in slots 3 and 6. They can be configured via SNMP or manually. To set parameters
manually use jumpers J30/J31. Refer to the
ViaLiteHD
RF Support Module handbook for more information about
configurable parameters.
5.
Check the position of jumpers J2/J3. If jumpers are closed the external LNB is connected.
6.
For all populated slots set SW1 switch to
‘USED’ position. If a slot is left empty set the SW1 switch to the ‘EMPTY’ position.
Refer to section 3.1 for detailed description of all jumpers and switches on the motherboard.
The pin-out of the slots can be found in the tables below.
