 VSAT ( Very Small Aperture Terminal )
Definition : is a station that receives signals from satellites with a dish-shaped receiving
antenna with a diameter of less than three meters. The main function of the
VSAT is to receive and send data to the satellite. The satellite functions as a signal
forwarder to be sent to other points on earth.

In general, VSAT works to send information passed to the hub and then transmitted via
VSAT on earth to the satellite.

The satellite part will work as a frequency repeater. The information received will be
amplified and sent back with a higher frequency (retransmission). After the information is
transmitted, the hub on earth controls the entire operation of the communication
network.

 Cabling Installation

Installation of Connector F for RG 11 Cable

IFL coaxcial cables must have connectors on both ends.

Equipment :

1. F Connector for RG 11

2. Cutting Pliers

3. Cutter
4. Coaxcial Cable

 Connector Installation

Installation of Connector F for RG 11 Cable

1. Cut the ends of the coaxial cable.

2. Peel the skin coaxcial cable into 2

parts of each size, like in the picture
beside

3.Peel the skin / cable jacket, then

trim the fiber cable that functions as
grounding

FiberHome Telkominfra MTD - VSAT Division 2021

 Connector Installation

> insert the cable into the F Connector, push it to

the maximum

> Make sure the installation is strong so it doesn't

come off easily.

> Make sure that no fibers touch the inner

conductor. To make sure the cables are functioning
properly and that there are no short circuits that
could harm the device, use a multimeter to check

Installer must first have the following information:
Commissioning Preparation
> Terminal Site ID
> File sbc.cfg
> Odu.dat file for HT 2524
> Site Longitude dan Latitude
> Sbc.cfg file created by the principal containing the HUB parameter information, 1 sbc file.cfg applies to all terminals
> Odu.dat file created also by principal containing LNB and BUC parameter information used by each terminal

Laptop/PC Connection Settings • Setting your Laptop/PC Ethernet LAN to DHCP

• Connect an Ethernet cable from your Laptop/PC directly to the LAN
port terminal 1
• Connect the transmit and receive cables to the IFL port terminal
• Turn on the HT 2524 modem and wait for the boot process

FiberHome Telkominfra MTD - VSAT Division 2021

 Modem Configuration

• Make sure the UTP cable is

connected between the laptop and
the LAN port of the modem

• Test Ping to the modem with ip

address 192.168.0.1

• Open the web browser to the IP

192.168.0.1, Press the "i" button, a
display like the following will appear

FiberHome Telkominfra MTD - VSAT Division 2021

 Modem Configuration

• The main page display for

advance configuration is to
display the status of SQF
parameters, Locked
Status, Modcod, Symbol
Rate, Beam, Gateway,
Transmit Rate and others.

 Modem Configuration

• Click the “Installation”

button, Enter the SBC file
• Enter the SBC file in the
following way
• Do the same thing to enter
the ODU file data in the
same way as the SBC file
(click menu: upload odu
file)

modem will start the
Ranging, Registration
and Associating process

• Ranging process is
adjusting power and
synchronizing the
modem to Hub System

FiberHome Telkominfra MTD - VSAT Division 2021

 Modem Activation
• If the modem has
succeeded in the Ranging
process, Registration and
Associating, the modem
will automatically proceed
to the Activation process

• A new page will appear in

the form of a request to
enter Terminal ID

• In this activation process,

the modem will
communicate with the hub
to be able to get an IP
address and download
the main bin software
which can be viewed
through the SDL monitor
facility.

FiberHome Telkominfra MTD - VSAT Division 2021

 Modem Activation

• If the modem has

successfully gone through
the Activation process, the
modem can be declared
successful in activating the
new terminal

• The Summary can be seen

on the Advance
Configuration menu, with
the following display

 Crosspol Activation

• Next Step is Crosspoll, The installer

contact the HUB Satellite Operator
to guided alignment antenna with
Cross poll Antenna Activation,

• The value of the cross pole will be

calculated by the satellite operator
by comparing the main carrier on
the working transponder with the
leak that comes out on the
polarizing transponder. On the other
hand, the higher the cross pole
value, the better the antenna
pointing because it does not
interfere with other transponder on
the other side of the polarization.
