RF Manager
The RF Manager is the controlling VMS service for all network satellites and
site antennas. This is where the satellites are created and defined, along with the
associated transponders and bandwidth pools that provide the allocatable spec-

created and defined, along with their associated converters that provide the RF
interface for the network modems.
Selecting an antenna from the RF Manager tree displays information relating to
the associated Up converter and Down converter (figure 6-50).
