Monitor, Carrier ID's Menu

The earlier versions of the Eutelsat SMS specification defined these 3 eight bit identities to be transmitted once per satellite TS32 multiframe to identify the carrier and the earth station. These were named Station ID, Carrier ID & Spare ID. More recent issues just say "reserved for uses such as.....". If the demod is

receiving a suitable carrier, then the ID's from the received carrier are displayed on this screen.

These may be manually set at the Tx end of the link by Change, User-Opt, Operation, Satellite, Carrier ID's.

6.13.4Monitor, DISTANT Eb/No & BER Menu

This screen is only available when the AUPC feature is set to `Maintain Eb/No` or `Monitor Distant` (refer to AUPC in section 8.11.1 on page 154). In these modes the Eb/No and BER from the distant modem are brought across the satellite link by the AUPC, and are available for display on the local modem (and automatic timed entries to the traffic log if required).

Distant end Eb/No=9.7dB

Distant end final BER=<1.3E-7

Monitor, Distant Eb/No & BER Menu

If the link is broken, or the AUPC cannot communicate with the distant end via the ESC channel, then both figures are replaced with `Unavail`.
