--- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.This page describes the device driver and the device window for the SatService-ACU-TLEUpdater device.
The SatService-ACU-TLEUpdater connects a SatService ACU to the backend's satellite database in order to kepp all TLE data in the ACU istself up to date. The device communicates directly to the ACU, therefore it must be configured at the same interface/port thread as the ACU itself.
How it works
The device queries a list of used TLE memory places from the ACU with the Norad numbers of the TLEs used in the ACU. It then queries these TLE datasets from the database.
If a TLE dataset has been changed in the database since the last upload to the ACU, the device updates the memory place in the ACU with the data from the database. On startup the device cannot determine which TLEs must be updated, for this reason all TLEs get updated once at system start.
Compatibility
The SatService-ACU-TLEUpdater works with SatService ACU devices which are capable to handle extended TLE formats like KVN or CSV. These are the SatService-ACU-HS device and SatService-ACU2 devices version 4.0.0 or later.
Device window pages
The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .
--- Provides a "force update" button --- The faults page. --- The device info page. --- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.Configuration parameters
At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the antenna controller.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | This is the only parameter that must be set. Enter the antenna controller's IP address in 'dotted quad' notation here. Example: " 192.168.2.81 ". |
| interval | Sets the interval how often the ACU shall be polled |
