Table 7: Receive code (RxCode) messages and corrective actions

3

The receiver is not locked to a signal

If the DW4020 had been operating previously, this status is

 

 

probably due to inclement weather conditions and will be

 

 

corrected when the weather improves. This condition can also

 

 

indicate that the IRU is unable to receive the signal from the NOC.

 

 

This is also associated with a signal level less than 30. This

 

 

occurs if there is a weather outage at the user location, a NOC

 

 

outage due to inclement weather or other reasons, a misaligned or

 

 

faulty antenna, or faulty cabling. If this keeps happening under

 

 

normal weather conditions, make sure the power supply is correct.

 

 

The power supply should be Part # 1031105-0001. If the power

 

 

supply is correct, try power-cycling the DW4020 by unplugging the

 

 

power cord from the wall outlet and then plugging it back in.

 

 

 

4

The receiver is locked to the wrong network

This condition should only be seen during installation and occurs

 

 

when the receiver is locked to a signal, but the signal ID does not

 

 

match the ID that was assigned to the user during commissioning

 

 

or the ID that was entered by the installer during manual pointing.

 

 

If this occurs during normal operation, it may be due to the user

 

 

changing acquisition parameters, including frequency and/or

 

 

location of satellite, or the antenna becoming misaligned.

 

 

 

5

The receiver is operational

This is the normal operating state where the receiver is receiving

 

 

data from the NOC. Only when the receiver is in this state will the

 

 

transmitter operate correctly.

 

 

 

6

The receiver is not detecting a signal

This condition occurs when the IRU is not detecting any type of

 

 

radio signal from the antenna. This could indicate that the cabling

 

 

between the receiver and the antenna is faulty or that the receiver

 

 

itself is faulty. Check that the cables are firmly connected on the

 

 

DW4020. Also, make sure that the power supply is correct. The

 

 

power supply should be Part # 1031105-0001. Try power-cycling

 

 

the DW4020 by unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet

 

 

and then plugging it back in.

 

 

 

7

The receiver is locked to an unknown

This condition should only be seen during installation and occurs

 

network

when the receiver is locked to a signal but there is no DIRECWAY

 

 

Network ID on that signal. If this occurs during pointing or

 

 

commissioning, the antenna has not been pointed correctly. If it

 

 

occurs during normal operation, it may be due to the user

 

 

changing acquisition parameters, including frequency and/or

 

 

location of satellite, or the antenna becoming misaligned. The

 

 

former condition can be corrected by re-commissioning the site.

 

 

The latter requires an antenna repointing.
