An Example of Configuring a User-defined Satellite (N. America)

The following is an example of configuring the fictional

YOURSAT 101 as the USER1 configured satellite. Prior to

configuring this satellite or any others, be certain to get the most

up-to-date information from one of the sources previously

discussed.

YOURSAT 101 at 71 West, DVB decoder, Circular Polarization LNB

Right

Frequency 11.966 GHz

Symbol Rate 27500

FEC Code 3/4

Network ID 2048 (dec) = 0x0800

Left

Frequency 11.823 GHz

Symbol Rate 27500

FEC Code 3/4

Network ID 2048(dec) = 0x0800

Based on this information, the data entered via the PC would

look like this, assuming that YOURSAT101 would be Satellite A:
