Take note of the step size value listed in the Remotes panel. Enter
settings for the dedicated IR and committed IR that are multiples of the
minimum allowed step size. Entering a value of Zero for the Maximum IR
disables the Max IR function and allows a remote to burst up to the
maximum data rate of the carrier.
The following range checks are performed on the values.
Dedicated IR <= Committed IR <= Maximum IR
In section 4.1, we took note of the Gateway Identification number. Please enter that value in the
“Access Code” field.
To complete the configuration, specify the antenna elevation angle, circuit name, and then apply
the new settings. The circuit name will allow you to easily track remotes on the Demodulator
Summary Status screen. The circuit name will appear as a tooltip when the mouse is hovered
over a remote’s graphics bar.
An elevation angle of 270
° should be used when performing tests in the laboratory.
Click on the
button at any time to cancel.
