Port Menu

Use this menu to configure RF In ports (Port 1 through Port 8). This menu is not available when the Manual Tune menu has the Input field set to ASI In or GigE In. That option is described on page 32.

Because the unit has eight RF input ports that can potentially be used to switch and tune signals from multiple satellite antenna, the unit demands there be an accurate association of the port with the Satellite and Polarity designators programmed in the Uplink encoder system(s) to which we plan to downlink from on each port.

Because accuracy is critical, a default Auto mode automatically updates the Sat (Satellite) and Polar (Polarity) fields for the one port that is currently being tuned. This automatic population of the fields occurs upon entry of acceptable channel information.

To ensure success in getting initial authorization, decryption, and output, leave this menu unchanged in Auto mode (as shown below).

If the Uplink Signal Provider gives detailed instructions, set the Mode field to Manual and set the Sat (Satellite) field and Polar (Polarity) field. Any mismatch between what is entered into these fields and the Uplink encoder Satellite and Polarity designations for the services will prevent authorization decryption and service output. Satellite names and polarity designators for a given service do not necessarily reflect actual satellite names or even the correct polarity of the actual signal. These values are set within the provider’s encoder system.

ID Field Default: 1

Use this field to choose which port to configure (1 through 8). Press the 4 button until the cursor is at the ID field, press ENTER to move into the field. Use the  buttons to choose a port and press ENTER to confirm the selection and exit the field.

Mode Field Default: Auto

Use the Mode field to select the mode for port setup. Press the 4button until the cursor is at the Mode label, and press ENTER to move into the field. Press the  buttons to choose the desired mode (either AUTO and MANUAL) and press ENTER to confirm the selection and exit the field.
