Ventilation
It is important that all installations allow adequate ventilation to the IPSat GW1000 at all times. To keep the system
cool and running smoothly, the power supply-cooling fan exhausts air through grillwork openings on the rear panel
and pulls external air through the slots at the sides of the unit.
The minimum airflow clearance space is three inches at the sides of the IPSat GW1000 and six inches at the rear.
Required Cables
For detailed information on cable specifications, including cable pinouts, connector drawings, and cable lengths,
refer to the appendix on cable specifications.
The following cables are used to connect the IPSat GW1000 Terminal:
• RJ45 Cat 5 10/100 BaseT Ethernet cable, either straight through or crossover. This cable connects the
10/100 BaseT port to a standard Ethernet interface.
• RS-232 serial cable. This cable connects the console port to a console.
Coaxial cables:
• IFL TX Cable: TX Out Cable, part number 05-0954-001 (supplied). This cable connects the Tx out
port to either the optional attenuator or to the LMR 400 cable.
• IFL TX Cable: LMR 400, 50 ohm coax terminated with N-type connectors. This cable connects either
the optional attenuator to the upconverter, or the TX Out cable, 05-0954-001, to the upconverter.
Three signals are on the IFL coaxial cable to the ODU:
• 10 MHz reference which is a reference oscillator for ODU synthesizer
• DC power (24V @ 3 amp) for the ODU.
• TX carrier signal (L-band)
• Rx Cable: Quad shielded RG-11 coax terminated with F-type connectors. This cable connects the
Tx/Rx port to the LNB.
• Video interface (Video port)
• Audio Left Port and Audio Right Port
• AC Power Cords: The IPSat GW1000 shipping kit includes two AC power cords, one for North
American applications, specifically the United States and Canada, and the other for international
applications.
North American Applications: the North American cord has an IEC-compatible female plug on one end and a North
American male plug on the other. This cord is UL and CSA approved up to 125VAC at 10A. This cord is ready to
use with no user wiring required.
International Applications: The international cord has an IEC-compatible female plug on one end and three stripped
and tinned bare wires on the other end. This cord is approved by many international safety agencies, including VDE,
up to 250VAC at 6A.
AC wiring must be done in accordance with governmental standards and codes in effect at the IPSat GW1000
installation site. Refer to the Safety Precautions for additional information.
