Inventory the Equipment
The equipment and accessories should be inspected for damage that may have
occurred during shipment. If the containers are damaged notify Radyne
ComStream and the freight carrier immediately. Inventory the equipment as follows:
Check the contents of the cartons against the packing slip provided or the list below, to
ensure that the shipment is complete. The standard VSAT package should include:
Qty 1 Qty (1) 3130-0000 (3100 series) VSAT Indoor Unit (IDU)
Qty 1 Qty (1) 2-Watt 3110-000, 4-Watt 3111-000, 8-Watt 3112-0030 or 16-
Watt 3113-0030 Outdoor Unit (ODU).
Qty 1 Qty (1) 2660-300X Low Noise Block (LNB)
Qty 1 Qty (1) 31XX Ancillary hardware / connector kit

IFL Cable Installation Guidelines
The lengths of the inter-connecting (IFL) cables will vary, the actual length will be
determined by the site layout. Therefore, the user must supply the cables. The transmit
inter-connection requires one double shielded 50
Ω
coaxial cable with a Type “N” Male
Connector at each end. The receiver cable requires one 75
Ω
coaxial cable with a Type
“N” Male Connector at the IDU end and a Type “F” Male at the LNB end.
For lengths up to 200 ft, RG-214 cable or equivalent is recommended for the TX side.
Alternate cable types may be used so long as the attenuation at 1 GHz and the center
conductor DC resistance is similar to RG-214 specifications. For lengths between 200
and 300 feet, a low loss foam dielectric cable such as Belden 9914 is required.
Such cable must have an insertion loss of less than 6 dB per 100 feet at 1 GHz and a
center conductor DC resistance of less than 0.12 ohms per 100 feet.
Step 7. Refer to Table 5-2, IDU to ODU Interface Cable Requirements.
