SymRate sets the current transmission symbol rate 1.0 to 20.0 MSps
default: 5.500187 MSps
Additional Information: The symbol rate is the number of symbols required to transmit the data stream over a satellite link using
quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK).
The symbol rate is automatically calculated based on the modulator input transport stream data rate, the Viterbi code rate, and
other fixed parameters that add overhead to the data stream.
If the displayed symbol rate exceeds the allowable satellite bandwidth, the data will be corrupted during transmission.
To determine the satellite bandwidth required to transmit the displayed symbol rate, use the following equation:
Symbol Rate x 1.35 = Required Satellite Bandwidth (in Hz)
Mod Source selects the modulator input
!
ASI - uses the input from the ASI IN connector
!
internal - uses the TE3000 backplane as source (default)
Tx Power-up sets the transmit carrier restore mode
!
off – following power-up or reset, the modulator output is disabled
regardless of the modulator output carrier state prior to the power-up or
reset.
!
restore – following power-up or reset, the modulator output is restored to
the state that was stored in non-volatile memory just prior to the power-up
or reset. (default)
Mod Status query-only; displays if the modulator is locked to
the incoming signal
!
locked – modulator is locked onto the incoming signal
!
unlocked – modulator is not locked onto the incoming signal

Config>Service # >Setup — Used to setup and query TE3000 services and service providers.
Service ID assigns a number to a service, which, in
combination with the Service and Provider names,
allows the user at the decoder site to select a
service
Additional Information: If the Service ID is
changed, the TE3000 automatically sets the
Service ID or Program Number within the Event
Information Table, Program Map Table, and Service
Description Table to the same number. The Service
ID may also be referred to as the Program Number.

if DVB: 1 to 231; default: 1
!
if ATSC: 2 to 231; default: 2
Name query-only; displays the name of the service text string
if default configuration is:
!
DVB, default is: service 1
!
ATSC, default is: ch2
Provider query-only; displays the name of the provider when
DVB or MPEG tables are enabled
Note: Provider is only available when
System>Table Type is set to DVB or MPEG.
This parameter can be set using a remote terminal
and the appropriate remote command. text string
default: unnamed
Major Channel sets the major channel when ATSC table types are
enabled
Note: Major Channel is only available when
System>Table Type is set to ATSC. 1 to 99
default: 30
Minor Channel sets the minor channel when ATSC table types are
enabled
Note: Minor Channel is only available when
System>Table Type is set to ATSC. 1 to 99
default: 2
