RF Manager Configuration
RF Manager configuration consists of creating the network satellite(s) with
associated transponders and bandwidth pools, and the site antennas with associ-
ated Up converters and Down converters that the Vipersat network nodes will
be using.
Create Satellite(s)
The first step is to create the satellite(s) for the network with the appropriate RF
characteristics. Transponders are then defined, followed by the creation of
bandwidth pools to accommodate SCPC carriers.
1. Right-click on the RF Manager and select Create Satellite from the drop-
down menu (figure 3-20).
