C5/K1/K3 Integrated Satellite Terminal System Operation
Rev. 0 4–15
REACQUISITION Programs the sweep reacquisition mode time duration. This is the
time that the modem will remain in a narrow sweep after loss of
acquisition. After this timer runs out, the modem will return to the
normal acquisition sweep. The reacquisition time is 0 to 999 seconds.
Upon entry, the current programmed setting is displayed with a
flashing cursor on the first character. Press [
"] or [#] to move the
flashing cursor. Press [
$] or [%] to increment or decrement the digit at
the flashing cursor. Select the number of seconds desired for the
reacquisition mode. Press [ENTER] to execute the change.
RS DECODER
(Test Mode Configuration)
Programs the Reed-Solomon decoder on, Correction off, or off.
Upon entry, the status of the Reed-Solomon decoder is displayed. Use
[
$] or [%] to select one of the following modes:
! ON: Enables the Reed-Solomon decoder to provide data
error corrections.
! CORRECTION_OFF: Turns off the Reed-Solomon
decoder data error correction circuitry. Data flow is then
routed through normal data paths without error corrections.
! OFF: The RS decoder is normally disabled (off position). To
execute any of the Reed-Solomon decoder modes, enter the
desired Reed-Solomon decoder and select the desired mode.
Press [ENTER] to execute the change.
Note: If none of the proper overhead types or data rates apply, the
Reed-Solomon decoder in the on state will be rejected (double beep).
With the Reed-Solomon decoder turned on (not off or Correction
off), the corrected BER will be reported from the outer decoder
(Reed-Solomon decoder).
