User Interface Unit (UIU)

The antenna controller may be operated directly from the front panel of the User Interface Unit (UIU), a hand held controller or via a remote control link.

A Graphical User Interface (GUI) program is provided. This runs under Windows 2000 or Windows XP on any standard PC and communicates with the i-Point ACU via the remote control port on the front panel of the UIU.

A serial interface cable which connects from the UIU RJ11 connector to a standard 9 way female serial connector is provided with the UIU. This is wired to plug directly into a standard 9 way D-type serial port on a PC.

The UIU only implements direct user commands.

It allows the operator to select the reference and target satellites from the existing list and to command Deploy.

It allows the user to define the Final Pol and Final LNB settings following the deploy and also allows direct control commands such as Standby, Jog, Stow, Switch Pol or Switch LNB. A complete list is given below.

The UIU does not allow the user to change parameters or to add or modify data in the satellite database. These operations can be performed via the GUI.

A typical auto-pointing usage sequence would be:

Ensure that satellite channel data exists for a number of locally visible satellites including the required reference and, preferably, the target satellites. Data does not need to exist for the target, but, if it is available, it allows confirmation that the correct satellite has been acquired.
