IPSat GW1000 Console Parameters
The following chart provides a description of all of the parameters that can be configured and monitored on the
IPSat GW1000.
Main Menu →
Configuration → Basic
[1 ] IP Address: Used to identify the
IPSat GW1000 on the network and is usually
defined by your service provider.
[2] Subnet Mask: Used by the IPSat
GW1000 in conjunction with its IP address to
make forwarding decisions and is usually
defined by your service provider.
[3] Default Gateway: Used in situations
where one or more routers exist on the IPSat
GW1000's subnet accessible through the
Ethernet interface. When a packet is received
from the DVB channel and the IPSat
GW1000 determines that the packet contains
a destination IP address that is not on its own
subnet, the IPSat GW1000 forwards the
packet to a gateway. The gateway is chosen
by searching the static routes that have been
defined; if no static route exists to handle the
destination network, the packet is forwarded
to the default gateway. Note: The default
gateway (and static route) configuration only
applies to forwarding decisions made on
packets received by the DVB port
(demodulator or receive port), not packets
received by the Ethernet port. Packets
received by the Ethernet port that contain an
unknown destination network will be
forwarded out the HDLC port (modulator or
transmit port).
[4] MPEG PID 1: When a PID (Program
Identifier) value is entered, the IPSat
GW1000 will accept and process all traffic
received by the DVB port (demodulator or
receive port) that contains the PID value. At
least one PID must be entered to receive
DVB traffic and is usually defined by your
service provider.
[5] Subscribed Rx BW: Enter the
amount of bandwidth that the IPSat GW1000
is subscribed to receive from the service
provider. The IPSat GW1000 uses this
parameter to accurately reflect the network
activity on the front panel display.
[6] RD - Rx Data Rate: Sets the data
rate in bps (bits per second) that the
demodulator receives at and is usually
defined by your service provider. The Rx
Symbol Rate is automatically determined by
the Rx Coding Rate and the Rx Data Rate.
[7] RS - Rx Frequency: Sets the
