The transmitter is requesting a

This condition can occur during installation when the Antenna Pointing program

 

transmit pointing test

requests that the transmitter perform a transmit pointing test. This condition

 

 

persists until the NOC responds that the transmitter is either actively performing

 

 

the pointing test or is queued to perform the test when test resources become

 

 

available in the NOC. This is a normal condition for initial installation. The

 

 

transmitter may also periodically go into this condition for short periods of time

 

 

(less than 5 seconds) to perform periodic transmit pointing tests. These periodic

 

 

tests are performed to ensure that the antenna is pointed accurately.

The transmitter is queued for a

This condition can occur during installation when the Antenna Pointing software

 

transmit pointing test

requests a transmit pointing test and the NOC has responded that the

 

 

transmitter is queued for the next available test time. It may also occur when the

 

 

transmitter is performing periodic background transmit pointing tests at the same

 

 

time that other users on the network have requested tests. This is a normal state

 

 

after initial installation.

 

 

 

20

The transmitter is performing a

This condition occurs when one of the following tests are active:

 

transmit pointing test

• During installation, the Antenna Pointing software requests that the transmitter

 

 

perform a transmit pointing test. This condition will persist until the Antenna

 

 

Pointing software exits from the transmit pointing test mode.

 

 

• The DW6000 performs a periodic background transmit pointing test to make

 

 

sure that the antenna is still pointed correctly. This periodic test takes less than

 

 

5 seconds.

 

 

If the problem persists, try power-cycling the DW6000 by unplugging the wall

 

 

outlet and plugging it back in.

 

 

 

21

The transmitter is disabled

This condition occurs when the transmitter fails a transmit pointing test. This

 

because a transmit pointing

indicates that the transmitter did not meet the minimum specifications required.

 

test failed

This is likely due to an antenna installation problem. The antenna installer needs

 

 

to fine-point the antenna. The transmitter will not transmit until the transmit

 

 

pointing test passes.

 

 

 

22

The transmitter is disabled

This condition occurs when the transmitter is required to perform a periodic

 

pending a transmit pointing

background transmit pointing test, but has not been able to perform the test

 

test

within the time window required. The transmitter is expected to be in this

 

 

condition for no more than two minutes at random periodic intervals. This

 

 

condition can also occur after the transmitter is first powered on after it has been

 

 

powered off for more than a day. If the unit remains in this condition for more

 

 

than two minutes, then the automated transmit pointing components in the NOC

 

 

are likely experiencing problems. This condition should clear in a few minutes.

 

 

 

23

The transmitter is disabled

This condition occurs when the transmitter cannot perform the transmit pointing

 

because a transmit pointing

test when initially installed or when the transmitter is required to range. The

 

test cannot be performed

condition indicates that the NOC components needed to perform the transmit

 

 

pointing test are not operational.

DW6000 specifications

The Hughes DW6000 is a high-performance satellite modem designed primarily for broadband Internet access, particularly in remote and rural areas where traditional wired options aren’t feasible. This equipment is prominent within Hughes Network Systems' lineup of satellite communication technologies and offers a robust solution for both residential and commercial applications.

One of the standout features of the Hughes DW6000 is its compatibility with the HughesNet satellite broadband service. It supports two-way satellite Internet connectivity, allowing users to send and receive data simultaneously, which enhances Internet speed and efficiency. The modem operates on the Ka-band, which is known for providing higher bandwidth and faster data transmission rates compared to traditional Ku-band systems.

The DW6000 is equipped with advanced technologies such as Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM), which dynamically adjusts data transmission rates based on network conditions. This feature ensures optimal performance and availability of service, even under less-than-ideal weather conditions or during peak usage times. Additionally, it includes built-in Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, which prioritize network traffic to maintain steady, reliable performance for applications like video streaming and VoIP.

With a user-friendly design, the Hughes DW6000 offers straightforward installation and setup processes, making it accessible for users who may not have technical expertise. Its compact size also allows for easy placement in various environments.

Moreover, the modem supports various interface options, including Ethernet for connecting multiple devices, and USB connections for individual setups. This versatility makes it a fit for both home networks and small office environments.

The DW6000 also has security features in place, including encryption options to safeguard data transmission. This is particularly important in today's digital landscape, where data privacy and security are vital considerations.

In summary, the Hughes DW6000 satellite modem stands out for its robust features, including support for high-speed Internet access, dynamic transmission adjustments through ACM, and user-friendly installation. Its versatility, combined with essential security measures, makes it a solid choice for anyone looking to establish reliable connectivity in hard-to-reach locations. Whether for home use or business applications, the DW6000 delivers the performance needed to keep users connected in an increasingly digital world.
