8.2.3.2. Reference Satellite Parameters
The reference satellite option is useful when the user cannot find a DVB transponder on
the desired target satellite. The user may select a reference Beacon Frequency or a
satellite with a known DVB Transponder. The iNetVu
®
System will lock onto the
reference satellite, and then pivot from that point to the desired target satellite, and peak
on the modem signal. Does not work if search method selected is RF Search.

Configuration – Reference Satellite Parameters
Enable Ref Sat
If this checkbox is selected, the Reference Satellite Option becomes active. The MAX
ES/NO field will be disabled and the value will be set to the default 255. If this box is not
selected, all the information in this Reference Satellite Section becomes irrelevant.
Longitude
This field represents the Orbital slot / Longitude of the Reference Satellite. The
Find
Satellite
command will use this satellite as a pivot point to lock onto the target satellite.
Note:
Once Ref Sat is enabled and the Longitude is set, the functions of the
remaining parameters and DVB settings will be identical to that of the Target
satellite, See section 8.2.3.1 for more details.
