9. DVB Receiver Operation
The iNetVu™ DVB Receiver must be used in conjunction with IMS 6.1.1 and Firmware
6.1 at a minimum - any previous version of IMS or controller firmware ARE NOT
compatible with the iNetVu™ DVB Receiver.
The iNetVu™ DVB Receiver can be used as for either:
•
A stand-alone DVB Receiver
o
Used to locate and lock onto either a manually-configured or preset
satellite
o
Manual Configuration requires:
Orbital Slot of Satellite
Receive Polarization
L-Band Rx Frequency (kHz)
Symbol Rate (kSps)
FEC Code Rate
•
Integrated component of a modem / VSAT that the iNetVu™ Mobile System is
compatible with.
o
Uses the DVB Receiver to locate and lock onto a preset satellite
o
Uses existing integration and communication with modem / VSAT to
automatically enable/disable the transmitter, initiate ACP testing (if
applicable), and all other modem / VSAT specific actions.
Note:
Switching between services no longer requires the need for a Switch ID. A
unique code previously used with older versions of IMS (5.2.1 and below).
A pre-indexed file (
satparam.txt
) contains a listing of transponders for many of the
well-used and known satellites being operated with.
The target satellite entered by the user will always initially searched through this
database, and should the satellite longitude match that of an entry in the database, IMS
will use the preset transponders associated to the user-entered receive polarity.
If the satellite longitude entered does not appear in the database, ERR3091 will appear
in the message panel notifying the user. At this time, the user is asked to manually enter
the transponder parameters in the Advanced Maintenance section of IMS.
