Overview

System Overview

The typical IP over-satellite system consists of a network hub with a single, very high-speed uplink broadcasting to numerous remote stations, each of which includes an IPSat GW1000 terminal. The IPSat GW1000 Terminal is part of a satellite-based IP network that allows remote sites high-speed communications access to and from LAN/WAN links. The IPSat GW1000 provides full two-way connectivity to the hub over a satellite channel and to a local Ethernet network through a standard 10/100Base-T interface. The hub receives inbound SCPC satellite carriers from IPSat GW1000 remote terminals through a Multiple Receive Terminal (MRT), offering up to 12 demodulators in only nine rack units of space. The hub system is scalable from 1 to 72 Mbps outbound and can support virtually any number of satellite return channels. Any combination of Internet protocol data streams, both TCP and UDP, unicast and multicast, may be carried between the hub and remote stations. Radyne ComStream can also integrate additional networking equipment and applications based on your system requirements.

Basic Network Topology Diagram

Hub Equipment

While the networking equipment used in the hub will vary greatly with the particular application of the network, the basic core of the system remains the same and includes the following:

• Internet Protocol Encapsulator (IP Encapsulator)

• Satellite Modulator, DM-240

• Multiple Receiver Terminal (MRT)

• Optional Equipment

Hub Network Functional Block Diagram

1 01-0945-401 Rev A 08/2004

Internet Protocol Encapsulator (IPE)

The IPE receives data from the hub IP network and encapsulates the data into a MPEG transport stream according to DVB data broadcast specification EN 301 192.

Satellite Modulator DM-240

The DM-240 is ComStream's standard DVB-compliant satellite modulator. Connecting to the IPE, the input interfaces include DVB SPI, ASI, M2P, and RS-422. The modulator accepts the input MPEG transport stream and provides scrambling, FEC encoding, and modulation of the satellite carrier channel in accordance with DVB specification EN 300 421.

Multiple Receiver Terminal (MRT)

The MRT is a 9 rack-unit chassis housing redundant, hot-swappable AC power supplies, L-band amplifiers and distribution, and up to 12 SCPC demodulators. The chassis includes integrated cooling fans and front panel LEDs showing status of all installed demodulators. The demodulator cards are hot swappable and operate between 19.2 kbps to 8.448 Mbps, meeting the same performance specifications as ComStream’s standard DBR2000 receiver. Each demodulator is connected to a Cisco router, which provides a standard Ethernet interface to the hub Ethernet network for return channel traffic from remote stations.

Optional Equipment

Based on the system application, a network may require additional equipment including:

• MPEG video and audio encoders

• TCP optimization hardware

• Quality of service (QoS) or traffic-shaping hardware

• Basic network equipment

• Application servers

IPSat GW1000 Overview

The IPSat GW1000 Terminal is an integrated two-way SCPC satellite modem with combined IP router/bridge functionality designed specifically to carry high-speed broadband internet traffic.

IPSat GW1000 Remote System Block Diagram

The IPSat GW1000 Terminal is a two rack-unit chassis including a DVB-compliant demodulator, MPEG transport demux, IP stack processor, and Ethernet controller functions. Innovative design of the receive path allows use of up to the full satellite channel bandwidth to output to the Ethernet port. IP data passed to the IPSat GW1000 Ethernet port is accepted and processed based on internal static routing tables, framed in HDLC packets, and passed to the satellite modulator. The modulator scrambles, FEC encodes, and modulates the data on an L-band IF carrier for transmission to the satellite. Up to 64 static routes may be defined in the IPSat GW1000.

Connecting multiple client computers through an Ethernet Hub may cause data collisions and subsequent loss of data. To resolve this potential issue, Radyne ComStream strongly recommends the use of an Ethernet Switch on the IPSat GW1000 Ethernet interface.

Installation

This chapter provides step-by-step procedures for installing and cabling the IPSat GW1000 and a description of all IPSat GW1000 rear panel connections and required cables. Do not remove the IPSat GW1000 top cover! The IPSat GW1000 is powered by an exposed, switching AC power supply which presents an electric shock hazard when the top cover is removed. Personal injury or damage to the equipment can occur when the top cover is removed. None of the procedures in this manual require the removal of the IPSat GW1000 top cover.

Before beginning your installation, read the Safety Precautions as they contain important safety information and other instructions required to install the IPSat GW1000.

Most of the IPSat GW1000 configuration can be performed with the Basic Configuration Menu. The parameters are defined as follows:

IP Address: Used to identify the IPSat GW1000 on the network and is usually defined by your service provider Subnet Mask: Used by the IPSat GW1000 in conjunction with its IP address to make forwarding decisions and is usually defined by your service provider. Default Gateway: Used in situations where one or more routers exist on the IPSat GW1000’s subnet accessible

through the Ethernet interface. When a packet is received from the DVB channel and the IPSat GW1000 determines that the packet contains a destination IP address that is not on its own subnet, the IPSat GW1000 forwards the packet to a gateway. The gateway is chosen by searching the static routes that have been defined; if no static route exists to handle the destination network, the packet is forwarded to the default gateway. Note: The default gateway (and static route) configuration only applies to forwarding decisions made on packets received by the DVB port (demodulator or receive port), not packets received by the Ethernet port. Packet received by the Ethernet port that contains an unknown destination network will be forwarded out the HDLC port (modulator or transmit port). MPEG PID 1: When a PID (Program Identifier) value is entered, the IPSat GW1000 will accept and process all traffic received by the DVB port (demodulator or receive port) that contains the PID value. At least one PID must be entered to receive DVB traffic and is usually defined by your service provider. Subscribed Rx BW: Enter the amount of bandwidth that the IPSat GW1000 is subscribed to receive from the service provider. The IPSat GW1000 uses this parameter to accurately reflect the network activity on the front panel display. RC-Rx coding rate: Sets the type and rate of the FEC (Forward Error Correction) decoding performed by the demodulator. Defined by service provider. Default is Vit 2/3. RD-Rx Data Rate: Sets the data rate in bps (bits per second) that the demodulator receives at and is usually defined by your service provider. The Rx Symbol Rate is automatically determined by the Rx Coding Rate and the Rx Data Rate. RS-Rx Frequency: Sets the L-band frequency in Hz (hertz) that the demodulator receives at and is usually defined by your service provider. TC-TX Coding Rate: Sets the type and rate of the FEC (Forward Error Correction) coding performed by the modulator. Defined by service provider. Default is Vit 1/2. Note: When the service provider is using Radyne ComStream’s MRT (Multiple Receiver Terminal), the TX Coding Rate must use the DVB symbol-mapped Viterbi types (DVB 1/2, DVB 3/4, DVB 7/8) or the sequential types. TD-TX Data Rate: Sets the data rate in bps (bits per second) that the modulator transmits at and is usually defined by your service provider. The TX Symbol Rate is automatically determined by the TX Coding Rate and the TX Data Rate. TS-TX Frequency: Sets the L-band frequency in Hz (hertz) that the modulator transmits at and is usually defined by your service provider. TP-TX Power Level: Determines the power level in dBm (decibel-meter) that the modulator transmits at. Default is

0.0dbm. EM-Modulator: Enables or disables the modulator. It performs the same function as pressing TX Enable on the front panel. Default is disabled. HP-10 MHz Reference: Enables or disables 10 MHz BUC (Block UpConverter) reference frequency. Default is disabled. MIV-24 Volt Output: Selects the source for the power to the BUC (Block UpConverter). Choices are disabled, enabled internal and enabled external. Default is disabled. Note: Enabled internal has a maximum of 24vdc at 3 AMPS. AE-Modulator Auto Enable: Used to automatically return the modulator, 10 MHz and 24vdc to previous state upon power-up or reset when set to Auto; otherwise, when set to manual, the modulator must be manually enabled upon power-up or reset. Default is Manual. PC-Pure Carrier: Enables or disables the transmission of an unmodulated carrier (continuous wave) out of the modulator. The pure carrier signal is used for diagnostic and installation procedures. Default is disabled.

Once all of the parameters have been configured, press the Esc key. A reset may be required for some of the settings to take effect. If this is the case, the IPSat GW1000 will reset itself after displaying a user prompt. Refer to the Console chapter for more information about configuration and monitoring tasks and utilities that are available.

IPSat GW1000 on the network and is usually defined by your service provider.

[2]

Subnet Mask: Used by the IPSat GW1000 in conjunction with its IP address to make forwarding decisions and is usually defined by your service provider.

Default Gateway: Used in situations

[3]

where one or more routers exist on the IPSat GW1000's subnet accessible through the Ethernet interface. When a packet is received from the DVB channel and the IPSat GW1000 determines that the packet contains a destination IP address that is not on its own subnet, the IPSat GW1000 forwards the packet to a gateway. The gateway is chosen by searching the static routes that have been defined; if no static route exists to handle the destination network, the packet is forwarded to the default gateway. Note: The default gateway (and static route) configuration only applies to forwarding decisions made on packets received by the DVB port (demodulator or receive port), not packets received by the Ethernet port. Packets received by the Ethernet port that contain an unknown destination network will be forwarded out the HDLC port (modulator or transmit port).

Main Menu → Configuration → Advanced → Network → Ethernet

[1] MAC Address: The Media Access Control address (physical address) of the Ethernet port. While it is possible to change the address, this is not recommended since there is no guarantee that it will be unique. The MAC address is also used by your service provider to identify your IPSat GW1000. [2] Port Setting: In Auto-negotiation Mode, the IPSat GW1000's Ethernet port will automatically negotiate its speed and duplex with the Ethernet port of the device the IPSat GW1000 is plugged into. In Manual Mode, the console will allow the user to specify the port speed and duplex. Note 1: When connecting two Ethernet devices together, both devices should be set to use the same port settings. For example, if the IPSat GW1000 is set to use autonegotiation, the Ethernet device it is connected to should also use autonegotiation. If this advice is not heeded, your network performance could be reduced due to excessive collisions. Note 2: The Port Speed and Port Duplex Mode options only appear when Manual Mode is selected for the Ethernet port. [3] Port Speed: The manually configured speed of the Ethernet port. [4] Port Duplex Mode: The manually configured duplex mode of the Ethernet port.

01-0945-401 Rev. A 08/2004

Main Menu → Configuration → Advanced

→ Network → IP → Static Routes

When the IPSat GW1000 must forward traffic to multiple networks that are accessible through different routers on the IPSat GW1000's subnet, static routes must be used. To add a static route, press "a". You will be prompted to enter the following: Destination: The destination network IP address. Mask: The destination network subnet mask. Gateway: The IP address of the gateway (router) that will forward the packet to its final destination or the next hop. Port: The port that the incoming packet will be forwarded out. This should always be the Ethernet port unless a Multicast static route is entered, in which case, the HDLC port should be chosen. Note: The default gateway and static route configuration only apply to forwarding decisions made on packets received by the DVB port (demodulator or receive port), not packets received by the Ethernet port. Packets received by the Ethernet port that contain an unknown destination network will be forwarded out the HDLC port (modulator or transmit port). Configuration Example: Consider the network diagram below for the following discussion. Assume that Router A can forward packets to ten different networks, Router B can forward packets to network

192.168.34.240 with subnet mask

255.255.255.248, and Router C can forward packets to network 192.168.34.232 with subnet mask 255.255.255.248. [IPSat GW1000]-------[Switch]--------[Router A]

10.0.0.1 | 10.0.0.30 | |-------------[Router B] | 10.0.0.35 | |-------------[Router C]

10.0.0.40

01-0945-401 Rev. A 08/2004

The easiest way to configure the IPSat GW1000 for this network is to perform the following three steps:

1. Configure a default gateway of 10.0.0.30 on the Basic Configuration page. Using the default gat gateway in this instance saves the user from entering ten static routes.

2. Configure a static route as follows: Destination: 192.168.34.240 Mask: 255.255.255.248 Gateway: 10.0.0.35 Port: Ethernet

3. Configure a static route as follows: Destination: 192.168.34.232 Mask: 255.255.255.248 Gateway: 10.0.0.40 Port: Ethernet

Main Menu → Configuration → Advanced → MODEM → Modulator

Determines how long an unused ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) entry will remain in the ARP table.

This value depends on the type of equipment your service provider is using to process the IPSat GW1000’s HDLC (transmitted) traffic. 16-bit address mode is used for Cisco equipment and 0-bit address mode is used for RAD equipment. Your service provider should provide you with this setting. The IP address that is used by your service provider's NMS (Network Management System). The NMS allows your service provider to configure your IPSat GW1000 and gather statistics from your IPSat GW1000. [1] MI - TX Spectral Inversion: Enables or disables transmit spectral inversion. Default is Disable [2] TM - TX Modulation Type: Modulation type can be set to QPSK or BPSK. This should be provided by your service provider. Default is QPSK. [3] TO - TX Offset: A frequency that is added (or subtracted) to the TX frequency. Default is 0hz. [4] ROE - Radio Output Enable: The amount of time that the IPSat GW1000 will wait upon power-up or reset to automatically enable the modulator. The BUC requires a warm-up period in order for accurate transmission characteristics. Default is 180 seconds. [5] TR - TX Symbol Rate: The symbol rate at which the modulator transmits at.

01-0945-401 Rev. A 08/2004

It can be entered in sps (symbols per second). When changing the symbol rate, the data rate in the Basic Configuration will also change. Symbol rate is related to data rate using the following equation:

Symbol Rate = (Data Rate / (Code Rate x Modulation Index))

For example, the symbol rate of a 2 Mbps, Viterbi-DVB 3/4, QPSK transmission is

Symbol Rate = (2000000 / ((3/4) x 2)) = 1333333 sps

[6] DM - Differential Encoding on modulator: Enables or disables differential encoding. Used to protect from the possibility of phase ambiguity errors. Default is on. [7] SM - Scrambling Type on modulator: selects type of scrambling algorithm applied to transmit data stream. Default is ComStream. [8] PD - Power Detect: Enables or disables optional power detector. Default is disabled. [9] MFS - Modulator Filter Select: Selects the spectral shape of the modulated transmit signal. Used to optimize filter shapes between modulator and demodulator Default is ComStream.

Main Menu → Configuration → Advanced → MODEM → Demodulator

[1] EBT - Eb/No Threshold: When the Eb/No falls below the Eb/No threshold, the IPSat GW1000 will report a fault. Default is 0db. [2] AO - Acquisition Offset: When the demodulator begins its acquisition process, it will begin its search at the Rx frequency plus or minus the acquisition offset. For example, if the Rx Frequency is 1200000000 Hz and the acquisition offset is 1000 Hz, the demodulator will begin its acquisition at 1200001000 Hz. Default is 0hz. [3] DD - Differential Decoding: Enables or disables differential decoding. Used to protect from the possibility of phase ambiguity errors. Default is on. [4] RM - Rx Modulation Type: Modulation type can be set to QPSK or BPSK. This should be provided by your service provider. Default is QPSK. [5] RR - Rx Symbol Rate: The symbol rate at which the demodulator receives at. It can be entered in sps (symbols per second). When changing the symbol rate, the data rate in the Basic Configuration will also change. Symbol rate is related to data rate using the following equation:

Symbol Rate = (Data Rate / (Code Rate x Modulation Index)) x Reed-Solomon Overhead

For example, the symbol rate of a 70 Mbps, Viterbi 7/8, QPSK transmission is

Symbol Rate = (70000000 / ((7/8) x 2)) x (204/188) = 43404256 sps [6] SD - Descrambling Type: enables or disables DVB descrambling algorithm applied to receive data stream. Default is DVB descrambling. [7] DFS - Demod Filter Select: Selects the spectral shape for the digital filter. Used to optimize filter shapes between modulator and demodulator. Default is ComStream.

Main Menu → Configuration → Advanced → Console

Enables or disables MAC Filtering. When MAC Filtering is enabled, only DVB packets containing the IPSat GW1000's MAC address will be accepted and processed by the IPSat GW1000. This value is usually defined by your service provider.

[1] Video PID: When a Video PID (Program Identifier) value is entered, the IPSat GW1000 will accept and process all traffic received by the DVB port (demodulator or receive port) that contains the PID value. The MPEG-2 video traffic that is received on this PID will be output on the RCA Video output (J82). [2] Audio PID: When an Audio PID (Program Identifier) value is entered, the IPSat GW1000 will accept and process all traffic received by the DVB port (demodulator or receive port) that contains the PID value. The MPEG-2 audio traffic that is received on this PID will be output on the RCA Audio Left and Right outputs (J80 and J81). [3] PCR PID: When a PCR (Programmable Clock Reference) PID (Program Identifier) value is entered, the IPSat GW1000 will accept and process all traffic received by the DVB port (demodulator or receive port) that contains the PID value. In most cases, the PCR PID must match the video PID so that the MPEG2 video stream can be properly decoded. The console port speed Default is 19200,8,N,1 Note: baud rate is in bps (bits per second).

When a fault on this page is masked, the fault will not appear in the list of current faults if the fault occurs. On the GW1000, the Fault indicator on the front panel also will not light. When a fault on this page is masked, the fault will not appear in the Fault Log if the fault occurs.

Link Status: Up when Ethernet port is connected to a working Ethernet device and Down when Ethernet port is not connected to a working Ethernet device. Port Operation Mode: Ethernet port can be in auto-negotiation mode or manual mode. Speed: Can be 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps. Duplex Mode: Can be full-duplex or halfduplex. Loopback Mode: Ethernet port is either in normal mode or loopback mode. Lists the IPSat GW1000's routing table which includes the destination network, destination network prefix (mask), gateway IP address of the destination network, and the interface that leads to the destination network. Interface 1 is Ethernet, 2 is HDLC, and 3 is Local. Before the IPSat GW1000 can forward a packet, it must decide which port the packet should be forwarded out of based on the source and destination IP addresses contained in the packet. After the IPSat GW1000 has made this decision, it stores the information in the Routed Packet List. Entries time out of the list based upon the ARP Table Timeout setting.

Before the IPSat GW1000 can send data to a host on its Ethernet subnet, it must know the host's physical address or MAC (Media Access Control) address. The ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table contains a MAC address and IP address mappings. Entries

will be removed from the table

according to the ARP Table Timeout value. Demodulator Status: Reports whether the

demodulator is synchronized or not synchronized to a carrier signal. Modulator Status: Reports whether the modulator is enabled or disabled.

AGC value: The AGC (Automatic Gain Control) of the demodulator is a gauge of how powerful the received signal is. As the signal strength increases, so does the AGC value. Eb/No: The Eb/No value is the energyper-bit with respect to noise (or signal-tonoise ratio) of the signal received by the demodulator.

Receive Offset: The frequency difference between the signal acquired by the demodulator and the configured Rx frequency. Displays the number of packets received on each configured PID in the DVB stream.

[DVB] Received Packets: Number of packets received on the DVB port. [DVB] Dropped Packets: Number of packets received at the DVB port that could not be forwarded due to an unresolvable destination IP address or some other error condition. [DVB] Local Packets: Number of packets received on the DVB port that are destined for the IPSat GW1000.

[Ethernet] Transmitted Packets: Number of packets that are transmitted out of the Ethernet port. [Ethernet] Received Packets: Number of packets that are received by the Ethernet port. [Ethernet] Receive Errors: Number of errors that occur on received packets on the Ethernet port. For example, if the IPSat GW1000 receives a frame that is too short due to an Ethernet collision, an error will be logged. Another example would be when the IPSat GW1000 receives traffic at a faster rate than it can transmit.

When new features are added or "bugs" are fixed, a firmware upgrade is required. The firmware can be downloaded to the IPSat GW1000 using the console interface or your provider may choose to download it through the DVB stream. For the fastest console download, the console port speed should be set to 115200 bps and 1K X-MODEM should be used as the transfer protocol. Note: While a firmware upgrade is being downloaded, the IPSat GW1000 will not forward any network traffic. This is a debugging tool and should only be used under the direction of Radyne ComStream customer support.

Signal is not present on the Rx IF

connector.

IPSat GW1000 experiences occasional decoder synchronization loss, but no loss of carrier tracking or bit time lock.

Rain fades or other loss of signal power will cause decoder faults before carrier tracking or bit timing faults.

The IPSat GW1000 requires no periodic or preventive maintenance and is designed to deliver years of maintenancefree service. The only task you need to perform is keeping the air intake grill free of debris, blockage, or excessive dust to ensure that the IPSat GW1000 receives adequate airflow. If you do clean the IPSat GW1000, first remove power from the unit. Then clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water.

Do not use any type of abrasive pads, scouring powders, liquid cleaners, aerosol cleaners, or solvents such as alcohol or benzene.

Check the AG parameter to ensure that a signal is present on the Rx IF connector. A value of 255 indicates no signal; a value of 80 to 135 indicates a good signal level. Make sure that the Eb/N0 level is sufficient.

Appendix B

Cable Specifications

This appendix provides installation procedures and defines the required performance parameters for the following cables and connectors:

• IFL TX and Rx cables

• Y-cable

• Optional Power Detector Cable

• IFL F- and N- connectors

IPSat GW1000 Cabling

IFL Cables

IFL cables must conform to the specifications provided in this manual to ensure that ComStream equipment operates properly. Quad-shielded coax must be used for IFL cables. Without quad shielding, the system may be subject to outside RF interference, which can degrade performance. IFL cables must be properly installed for the system to operate at the specified performance levels. Radyne ComStream strongly recommends purchasing the following IPSat GW1000 IFL cables from the following vendors:

• LMR-400 quad-shielded coaxial cable, Times Microwave Communications, 800-867-2629

• RG-11 quad-shielded coaxial cable, type 2282, Times Fiber Communications, 800-677-2288

It is assumed that the TX and Rx IFL cables are the same length. A record of the length of these cables should be kept for reference. Radyne ComStream can provide complete IFL Kits including all required connectors and cables pre-wired...

31 01-0945-401 Rev A 08/2004

IFL F- and N Connectors

Radyne ComStream supplies the necessary F- and N-connectors for use with the IPSat GW1000 IFL coax cables. These connectors are designed for the recommended Times Microwave LMR-400 and Times Fiber RG-11 coaxial cable. If another IFL coaxial cable is used, different F and N-connectors will be required and must be matched to the coaxial cable selected.

IFL F-Connector

The F-connectors supplied with the IPSat GW1000 are designed to be used with the recommended Times Fiber RG11 coaxial cable. One F-connector must be installed on both the indoor and outdoor ends of the Rx coaxial cable. A crimping tool must be used to securely fasten the F-connector collar. Although this crimping tool is available from different vendors, ComStream recommends the following vendor for additional F-connectors or crimping tools:

• CABLE Prep, 203-526-4337

• Crimp tool part number HCT-211

For up-to-date information on vendors, contact your Radyne ComStream representative.

RG-11 Cable Assembly with F-Connector

To prepare the RG-11 cable and attach an F-connector, follow these steps.

1 Expose 5/16 inch (7.9 mm) of the center conductor. Ensure that the center conductor is not scored. 2 Remove 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) of jacket. Ensure that the braid is not cut. Fold exposed braid back over the

cable jacket.

1 Remove first foil. Ensure that the braid is not cut. Fold the second braid back over the cable jacket.

1 Guide the center conductor into the connector. Push the connector onto the cable until a reasonable stop is

felt.

2 Crimp the connector using the recommended crimping tool (.475 inch [12.1 mm] hexagon tool.)

IFL N-Connector

The N-connectors supplied with the IPSat GW1000 are designed for the recommended Times Microwave Quadshielded LMR-400 coaxial cable. One N-connector must be installed at both the indoor and outdoor ends of the TX coaxial cable. By using the quad-shielded LMR-400 cable from Times Microwave, cable runs of up to 100 m (328 ft.) can be used for data rates above 19.2 kbps. For lower data rates, the maximum cable lengths are shown in the following table.

Data Rate (kbps) Maximum Cable Length (m)

9.6 86

19.2 100 The maximum length assumes a receive Eb/N0 of 5 dB. With higher Eb/N0 values, maximum cable runs can be increased to a maximum of 100 m. This cable attenuates the received signals by 6 dB per 30.5 m (100 ft.). For longer cable runs, the receive signal E caused by the additional cable length. For example, increase the far end transmit power by 6 dB for each additional

30.5 m of IFL coax cable length.

must be increased by an amount equal to the increased signal attenuation

b/N0

32 01-0945-401 Rev A 08/2004

Cable Loss

For all data rates, the degradation of system NF due to the IFL coaxial cable is negligible for cable lengths up to 100 m (328 ft.).

LMR-400 Cable Assembly with N-Connector

To prepare the LMR-400 cable and attach an N-connector, follow these steps.

1 Flush cut end of cable using a fine saw blade. Cut cable so that the end remains round and the face of the

cable is perpendicular to its length. Slide on shrink boot, clamp nut, washer, and gasket.

2 Expose the 0.240 inches of the conductor. Cut through the cable jacket, braids, and dielectric core. Do not

nick the cable conductor.

3 Expose 0.500 inches of the outer braid. Do not to nick the braids when removing the cable jacket.

4 Slide on the ferrule. Ensure that all braids come up through the ferrule

5 Flare out the braids and fold them back onto the ferrule. Trim braids to shoulder. Trim core back to 0.030

inches maximum. Trim the conductor back to 0.230 inches.

01-0945-401 Rev. A 08/2004

6 Install the contact. Solder on the contact using 60/40 solder. Feed solder through solder hole while

heating the contact.

7 Install the connector body onto the cable. Check for proper pin height. Apply Locktite 242 to the clamp nut

threads. Thread the clamp nut into the connector body. Torque to 50 in-lbs. Check pin height.

8 Install strain relief boot. Position the boot onto the connector body. Apply hot air until boot is smoothly

seated onto both the cable and connector. Use only an adhesive lined shrink boot.

Appendix C

Outdoor Unit Recommendations

For TX IFL cable lengths less than those listed in the following table, an in-line attenuator should be inserted into the cable. ComStream recommends the use of a Radyne ComStream attenuator, part number 17-0107-101. The attenuator ensures a minimum dynamic range of 15 dB in the output power. The minimum cable length should be used as a guide by the system integrators and installers as an approximation only. The maximum cable length is 100 meters in all installations. Radyne ComStream strongly recommends the use of Times Microwave LMR-400 TX IFL cable and Times Fiber RG11 quad-shielded Rx cable. For information on ordering LMR-400 or RG-11 cable, refer to the appendix on cable specifications. The following table provides the recommended Outdoor Unit:
