Bind Modulators and Demodulators to Converters
The following procedure associates the Modulator for each unit at a site with the
Up converter for that site’s antenna, and associates the Demodulator(s) with the
Down converter. This portion of the configuration is performed using the RF
Manager in conjunction with either the Subnet Manager or the Vipersat
Manager.
The method illustrated below uses the RF Manager with the Subnet Manager.
1. From the RF Manager tree view list in the left window panel, select the first
site antenna for configuration (the Hub Antenna is used in this example).
The antenna and its converters are displayed in the right window panel
(figure 3-35).
2. Expand the Subnet Manager tree down to the Modulator and Demodulator
level for the first modem unit that will utilize this Antenna (here, the Hub
Burst Controller).
3. Click-hold on the Modulator device icon in the left panel, drag it to the right
panel and drop it onto the Up Converter (figure 3-36).
The device appears under the Converter as shown in figure 3-37.
