1. Introduction

The SatLink 1000, 1910, 2000, and 2900 are the indoor units (IDUs) of the SatLink family of DVB-RCS

VSATs. They perform several functions: they are satellite modems (at Layer 1); they handle data link

layer processing (at Layer 2) for both satellite and LAN communications; and they act as IP routers and

DHCP servers (at Layer 3). All SatLink IDUs provide an Ethernet 10/100 LAN interface for one or more

PCs to engage in two-way communication via a SatLink (or any DVB-RCS compliant) satellite network.

1.1 About this User Guide

This User Guide covers the installation and operation of the SatLink 1000/1910/2000/2900, commonly

also referred to as the indoor unit (IDU) of the DVB-RCS VSAT, together with the accompanying

outdoor unit (ODU) equipment. It is intended for DVB professionals, such as service providers and

installers. Therefore, it does not contain information for non-professional users, such as given in the user

manuals of consumer electronic products. The information given pertains to the following STM software

(SW) and hardware (HW) versions and releases:

1.2 Initial Configuration

The VSAT IDU must be configured before it can communicate via the satellite to and from the network

Hub. The parameters to be configured are explained in section 6.2.

The configuration of the VSAT IDU can be carried out using the following configuration tools:

Web-interface (basic configuration only)

Command Line Interface (CLI)

-Via RS232/Terminal emulator (e.g. HyperTerminal)

-Telnet

SNMP

The SatLink VSAT web interface is used as the main interface for initial configuration of the VSAT

parameters and is presented in section 6. The status monitoring of the VSAT using a web interface is

presented in section 7. Configuration via CLI is presented in section 9 and management via SNMP is

presented in Appendix E. The Web interface can be used for most common configuration tasks, while

advanced configuration is only available via SNMP and CLI.

3. Installation

3.1 Before Installation

3.1.1 Safety

Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:

Always comply with national and local electrical codes.

Keep the installation area clear and dust free during and after installation.

Keep tools and all components away from walking areas.

Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (including rings and chains), or other items that might get caught

on the IDU, the ODU, or the interconnecting cables.

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during lightning storms.

Follow these guidelines when working with electrical equipment:

Disconnect all power and external cables before installing or removing a SatLink VSAT IDU.

Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.

Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.

Do not act in any way that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.

Never install equipment that appears damaged.

Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, unearthed power

extension cables and missing protective earths.

Should an electrical accident occur:

Be cautious –do not become a victim yourself

Turn off electrical power to the system.

If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the condition of the victim and

then call for help.

Determine if the victim needs artificial respiration or external cardiac compressions; then take

appropriate action.

3.1.2 Site Requirements

The VSAT IDU should be connected to 110/240 VAC, 50-60Hz power.
