Board configuration options
Note
1.
With non-DiSEqC LNBs the control is simply by
14/18 V switching for polarity and in the case of a dual
band the use of 22 kHz signal (no modulation)
selecting the high band. With DiSEqC LNBs the
control is by sending DiSEqC commands via
modulation in the 22 kHz signal, (this means DiSEqC
level 1).

Transponder setup
The transponder can be setup automatically or manually.
Selecting the automatic option gives the user the
possibility to sweep the band over a particular frequency
range at all symbol rates. All transponders found will be
logged and stored to NVM. The sweep can be started by
pressing the start button via the user controls.
Selecting the automatic network option will give the user
the possibility to sweep the band over a particular
frequency range at a user defined symbol rate.
The Network Information Table (NIT) from the first
transponder found will be read and the services known in
this NIT table will be logged and stored to NVM.
Table 5
Program setup
Selecting the manual option provides the user with the
ability to enter additional transponder data or to adjust
transponders found with an auto setup. To add a
transponder the correct frequency, symbol rate,
polarisation and Forward Error Correction (FEC) rate are
required.
