band input port. If the Rx level is 

low, check the cable, the feedhorn, and the antenna for proper operation.

Common Problems

The following problems or occurrences have been noted during normal 

troubleshooting.

Tx Output is Disabled

When the Tx Output is set to Disabled, the Tx Output level shown on the 

Sensor Tab

 

on 

page B

-

11

 reads 

-

99.00 dBm. This is not an actual reading.

However, when conditions cause the automatic shut-off of the Tx Output signal, the 

Tx Output is muted and the Tx Output level on the 

Sensor Tab

 on 

page B

-

 reads 

-

96.00 dBm.

Incorrect Frequency Settings

If the Satellite Network Operations Center (NOC) does not recognize your signal, see 

page 4-8

 for additional information.

Damaged Cables

RF coaxial cable damaged due to improper handling (such as contact damage due to 

improper mating; cable insulation that is damaged, crushed, cut, or charred; cables 

were not discharged prior to connecting them; or conductors that are nicked, gouged, 

damaged, or severed) may impair system performance and reliability. Do not attempt 

to repair broken or damaged coaxial cables unless absolutely necessary. Replace the 

entire cable whenever possible.

Damaged cabling and incorrectly tightened connectors can leak RF energy, which may 

lead to excessive levels in their immediate vicinity.

 

!

CAUTION

Never disconnect RF cables or connectors associated with a transmitter 

in operation since this may result in an RF burn through direct contact 

with RF conductors.
