carrier. A full report of the damage should be made and a copy forwarded to Radyne
ComStream. Radyne ComStream will then advise on disposition of the equipment.
Step 34. Subject to terms of the Service Policy, Radyne ComStream will repair all defective equipment. A
Return Material Authorization number must accompany material forwarded to Radyne
ComStream. To obtain an RMA number, call Customer Service at (602) 437-9620.
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) 3130-0000 (3100 series) VSAT Indoor Unit (IDU)
Qty (1) 3100 Series Outdoor Unit (ODU)
Qty (1) Low Noise Block (LNB)
Qty (1) Ancillary hardware kit
(Optional Booster and Amp Controller and connector kit as required)
Installation Tools
A list of basic tools required to complete installation of the VSAT Satellite System is provided for
reference:
1) Box end wrenches and/or crescent wrenches
2) Phillips blade screwdriver
3) Sealing tape (butyl rubber type) and plastic tape to protect / waterproof
4) Antenna mounting hardware
IFL Cable Installation Guidelines
The interface between the Indoor Unit and Outdoor Unit is accomplished using two coaxial
cables. The length of the (IFL) cables will depend on the site layout.
Step 35. It is important to note that Radyne ComStream does not provide the IFL interface cables
between the IDU and ODU. The User must supply these cables.
The TX IFL inter-connection requires one double shielded 50
Ω
coaxial cable with a Type “N”
Male Connector at each end. The RX IFL inter-connection requires one 50
Ω
or 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 IFL cables.
Alternate cable types may be used as 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
