Energizing the RF Equipment

If the waveguide is not terminated correctly, it transmits dangerous levels of

electromagnetic radiation. THIS CAN CAUSE INJURY. Before you energize or operate

any SSPA waveguide unit, make sure to correctly terminate the waveguide on the

‘J2 | RF OUT’ port.

The LPOD Outdoor Amplifiers / Block Up Converters (BUCs) and the SPOD Outdoor

Amplifiers do not have Power On/Off switches. Use the ’J3 | POWER IN’ connector

to energize the system.

Step

Task

1

Make sure the SSPA is connected correctly to the LPODnet as defined in Sect. 2.2.

2

Connect the applicable prime power source to the SSPA ‘J3 | POWER IN’ port.

3

Energize all components in the system.

Chapter 3. ETHERNET-BASED M&C USING THE LPODnet

As accessed by the LPODnet , the SSPA’s 100BaseT/10BaseTx Ethernet Management Interface

supports three management protocols:

• SNMP with public and private MIB

• Telnet Client interface for remote product M&C

• Web Server (HTTP) Interface for complete product management
