2 Installation

This chapter describes how to install the sat-nms LBRX beacon receiver. You find a guide how to connect, configure and mechanically mount the receiver below.

Before you start, please first read the Safety Instructions chapter below. It contains some important recommendations to prevent damage from the receiver.

Then, we strongly recommend to do a first setup of the receiver on a lab desk before installing it at it's final location. This is mainly for two reasons:

1. To setup the receiver's IP parameters, the PC used for configuring and the receiver must either be connected to the same Ethernet hub or must be connected directly with a crossover cable. The initialization program does not work through routers intelligent network switches.
2. The receiver may be configured to inject a 14/18V power supply voltage at it's RF input. If you plan to connect the receiver to a signal source which is not able to accept this D/C voltage, you must ensure that the voltage is switched off before you connect the receiver to that signal source.

Hence, the typical sequence of tasks when putting an sat-nms LBRX beacon receiver into operation is as follows:

1. Read the chapter Safety Instructions
2. Set the receiver's IP address
3. Check the LNB voltage setting
4. Mechanically mount the receiver
5. Connect the receiver to it's signal source, the power supply and the Ethernet network.
