This chapter describes general operation of the Cyber Hardened IBUC

, IBUC

IBUC

, IBUC

and IBUC

Introduction

After the Cyber Hardened IBUC has been mounted and connections verified, the

antenna must be aimed towards the appropriate satellite. Follow the antenna

manufacturer’s instructions, using the coordinates (azimuth, elevation, and polarity)

provided by the satellite operator. Do not transmit until you have received

authorization—including a transmit power level—from the satellite network

operations center (NOC) staff.

Start-up Checklist

The IBUC leaves the factory preconfigured for operation; however, you can fine

tune

its settings for your particular needs.

Prior to start up, verify the following:

• Transmit/Receive frequencies

All transmit and receive frequencies are set using the modem. Follow the modem

manufacturer’s instruction.

• Cable connections

Ensure that all of the external cables between the IBUC and other equipment are

seated correctly and that there are no breaks or cracks, no sharp bends, pinch

points nor flattened sections in the cables.

• Power

Ensure that the IBUC is receiving power, Power can come via the modem, an

external power supply, or from AC mains.
