Mount the transceiver and the LNC on the antenna. 2. Connect the cables as shown in the drawing (See page 16 of Operations manual ). 3. Connect a terminal to a serial port, configured to 1200bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, CR/LF Off.

7 Connection diagrams are in Appendix C. 4. Install a proper power connector on the (included) power cable. Plug the cable into 110 or 240 VAC, 50/60Hz. Verify the green LED on the transceiver is blinking, indicating normal internal operation. The red LED is usually OFF. If illuminated, it indicates an alarm condition requiring attention. Refer to the ALARM command for details (Appendix A). 5. Using the terminal, configure the transceiver to the proper frequency: RXFREQ nnnn (nnnn in MHz see Appendix D for channel) TXFREQ nnnn (nnnn in MHz see Appendix D for channel) 6. Configure receive gain and transmit output power: RXGAIN nnn nnn ranges from 85 to 100 TXGAIN nn nn ranges from: 10 to 36 [0C] 44 to 70 [2C] 48 to 74 [5C] 51 to 77 [10C] 54 to 80 [20C] 57 to 83 [30C, 40C] 58 to 84 [50C, 60C] 60 to 86 [70C, 80C] 61 to 87 [100C] 62 to 88 [125C] 63 to 89 [150C] 64 to 90 [180C] 64 to 90 [200C] 7.

Ideally suited for SCPC, MCPC, and DAMA applications, the AnaSat -C series transceivers transmit in the 6 GHz frequency range and receive in the 4 GHz range. The AnaSat -C VSAT transceiver integrates all necessary functions, including the solid-state power amplifier (PA), into a small, highly integrated outdoor package. The only cabling required to the indoor plant are the IF and AC power cables.

9 The LNC connects to the transceiver with a single coaxial cable. Designed to interface with any 70 MHz modem, the AnaSat -C VSAT transceiver may be used in a wide variety of communication networks. The earth stations may be configured in Star, Mesh, or Ring networks and with the optional Station Management System (SMS) tied to a PC, you can monitor and control all local transceivers and other network-compatible equipment. The AnaSat -C transceiver upconverts the modulator s 70 MHz IF output to an RF signal in the 6 GHz range for transmission, and downconverts the 4 GHz received RF signal to a 70 MHz IF signal for use by the demodulator.

10 The PA uses Internally-Matched Field-Effect Transistors (IMFET) to achieve highly linear power and gain with minimal intermodulation distortion (IMD) products. High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMT) and Gallium-Arsenide Field-Effect Transistors (GaAs FET) enable the Low-Noise Down-Converter (LNC) to achieve a noise figure better than 35 K. The transmit (TX) and receive (RX) synthesizers are locked to an oven controlled, high-stability crystal oscillator (OCXO) and can provide 1 MHz frequency selection step sizes over the entire bandwidth. TX and RX frequency selection is completely independent for extra flexibility. In this manual , all frequency ranges reflect the Standard C model of the AnaSat -C transceiver except as noted.
