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

Powering On The IPSat GW1000

Once the cabling and interconnections for the IPSat GW1000 are completed, you may power-up the unit. The IPSat
GW1000 power switch is a rocker switch located on the rear panel.
The power switch is labeled with a — and an 0. The — represents the On position, while the 0 represents the Off
position.
To power up the IPSat GW1000, press the power switch to the ON, or — position. The power-on cycle takes
approximately three to four minutes to complete, as the unit performs extensive self-diagnostics in this time period.
