KST-12000 Ku-Band Satellite Terminal

Revision 4

Operation

MN/KST12000.IOM

DC FREQ

Programs the down converter frequency in 2.5 MHz steps.

On entry, the current down converter frequency is displayed with the
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. Press [ENTER] to execute the change.

U/C ATTN

Programs the up converter output power attenuation from 0 to 25 dB, in
0.5 dB steps.

On entry, the current up converter attenuation is displayed with the
flashing cursor on the first character. Press [

↑] or [↓] to increase or

decrease the output power attenuation in 0.5 dBm steps. Press
[ENTER] to execute the change.

D/C ATTN

Programs the down converter input power attenuation from 0 to 31 dB,
in 0.5 dB steps.

On entry, the current down converter attenuation is displayed with the
flashing cursor on the first character. Press [

↑] or [↓] to increase or

decrease the output power attenuation in 0.5 dBm steps. Press
[ENTER] to execute the change.

PROGRAM

Programs or clears the current frequency and attenuator settings as
one of three “preset” selections.

On entry, 1*, 2*, or 3* will appear in the window. Press [

←] or [→] to

move the cursor from left to right. When the flashing cursor is on any of
the “*”s, press [

↑] or [↓] to turn the “*” ON or OFF. When the “*” is ON,

press [ENTER] to clear stored parameters in the preset location to the
left of the “*”. When the “*” is OFF, press [ENTER] to store the current
frequency and attenuation parameters in the preset location at the
cursor. To recall any of the present selections, use the SELECT menu,
and select 1, 2, or 3. Press [ENTER].

BAUD

Programs the baud rate of the terminal.

On entry, the currently selected baud rate of the terminal will be
displayed with the flashing cursor on the first digit on the second line of
the display. To change the baud rate, press [

↑] or [↓] to select a baud

rate from 300 to 19,200 bit/s. Press [ENTER] to execute the changes.

ADDRESS

Programs the terminal remote address.

On entry, the currently selected address of the terminal is displayed
with the flashing cursor on the first character. Press [

↑] or [↓] to select

the desired address of the terminal from 1 to 255. Press [ENTER] to
execute the change.

PARITY

Programs the parity bit to Even (the default), Odd, or None (for 8-bit).

On entry, the currently selected parity is displayed. Use the Arrow keys
to select Even or Odd. Press [ENTER] to execute the change.

LNA PWR

“ON” means LNA power will be available on the center conductor of the
coax cable. “OFF” means DC power will be removed from the coax
cable.

LNA FLT

“ON” means the system will declare an LNA fault when applicable.
“OFF” means all LNA faults will be ignored by the system.

CALIB.

Enables the user to calibrate the LNA. If [ENTER] is pressed, the M&C
will perform an analog-to-digital conversion of the LNA current, and
store the value in the Electrically-Erasable Programmable Read-Only
Memory (EEPROM). During the normal operation, the M&C will monitor
the recent LNA current, and compare it to the stored value. If the LNA
deviates by

± 30%, a fault will be declared.
