Equipment Preparation

 

 

  

The Hughes 9000 series modems are integrated receive and transmit units with single LAN interface. 

 

  

Power specification of these ODUs is 1 Watt. 

 

  

IF cables: RG6 type for transmission and reception, two separate cables are required. It is important that 
the right quality cable is used in order to achieve the right signal levels depending on the cable length 
(attenuation). Please review the table attached in 

Appendix B 

at the back of this document. 

 

  

You need a valid configuration sheet for the site for the site to be commissioned. Ensure you have this 
before attending site. This contains details of IP addresses, satellite parameters and other settings that are 
needed for your modem to function. 

 

  

Ensure your antenna is installed and accurately aligned before you start to configure the modem.
