•
E1 with two separate EIA-530 interfaces.
•
IP at up to 30Mbps with EIA-530.
•
IP with G.703 at E3 rate.
5.3.2 Other Option Cards
The following feature-specific option cards are available:
•
P3604 DVB-S2 option card, required for DVB-S2 and
SmartLink™
operation.
•
P3609 DVB-S2X option card, required for DVB-S2X operation. This can also be
used for DVB-S2 to gain superior performance (e.g. higher supported symbol rate)
when compared to the P3604 card.
•
P3605
FastLink™
option card, required for
FastLink™
low-latency Low-Density
Parity-Check (LDPC) Forward Error Correction (FEC) operation.
•
P3607
Paired Carrier™
option card, required for
Paired Carrier™
operation
(which overlays transmit and receive carriers in the same space segment reducing
the overall required satellite bandwidth).
5.3.3 BUC Power Supply Options
The satellite modem may optionally be fitted with a Power Supply Unit (PSU) for powering
a Block Up Converter (BUC) when operated in L-band mode. Refer to
Table 5-1
for the
available BUC power supply options.

5.4 Software Options
Several software options, known as Software Activated Features (SAF), are available as
shown in
Table 5-2
. These can be purchased on a pay-as-you-go basis and
retrospectively activated in deployed units as required. The SAF concept (including time-
limited free access to most features) is explained in
Section 8.5
.
In the table, the
SAF Code
column lists the acronyms by which features are referred to on
the modem’s local user interface.
