DMD2401 LB/ST L-Band Satellite Modem and ODU Driver
Operation
TM075 - Rev. 1.3
3-3
The DMD2401 LB/ST is specifically designed to be usable as the remote site modem of a TDMA
network when coupled with a proper “Burst” demodulator at the hub site.
Since the frequencies can be assigned on demand, the network is then called “Demand
Assigned, Multiple Access,” or DAMA.
3.3 DMD2401 LB/ST Initial Configuration Check
The DMD2401 LB/ST is shipped from the factory with preset factory defaults. Upon initial power-
up, a user check should be performed to verify the shipped modem configuration. Refer to
Section 3, Operation for the Modulator and Demodulator Front Panel Menu Screens to locate
and verify the following configuration settings are correct:
Note: Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) Interface types are dependent upon the customer’s
order.
Standard DMD2401 LB/ST Factory Configuration Settings
Modulator:
Data Rate:
2,048,000 Kbps
Forward Error Correction:
1/2 Rate Viterbi
Modulation:
QPSK
Frequency:
950.000000 MHz
Modulator Output Power:
-30 dBm
Carrier:
Off
Demodulator:
Data Rate:
2,048,000 Kbps
Forward Error Correction:
1/2 Rate Viterbi
Frequency:
950.000000 MHz
To lock up the modem, turn the carrier ON, enter ‘IF Loopback Enable,’ or connect a loopback
cable from J1 to J2 on the rear panel of the modem.
3.4 DMD2401 LB/ST Automatic Uplink Power Control (AUPC Operation)
The DMD2401 LB/ST modem has an optional built-in provision for Automatic Uplink Power
Control (AUPC). AUPC attempts to maintain a constant E
b
/N
o
at the receive end of an SCPC
link. This is especially useful when operating over a satellite at Ku-Band frequencies in locations
with high rainfall periods.
Note: An Asynchronous or IBS Interface is required for AUPC. Also, IBS (Async Framing
Mode MUST be selected to provide a channel for AUPC operation.
The IBS (Async Framer Data Mode provides a service channel between the two sites of a link
permitting the modem processors to send messages and get responses over this channel.
AUPC can be set to operate on either or both directions of a link but always requires a bi-
directional channel. Therefore, both the Modulator and Demodulator interface mode must be set
to IBS (Async for the AUPC menus to be visible and for the AUPC function to operate properly.
The AUPC functions and their descriptions are shown below:
