1.Introduction and Overview
1.1Scope and Limitations
This manual is valid for VSATs running Boot Code 2.0.6.0. The Boot Code of the VSAT
can be obtained from the LCD display or the SkyManage web page.
1.2Background and Purpose
In order to enable a VSAT to come on line it has to be configured with a minimum

number of parameters that are used to enable the VSAT to boot up. Currently, this
operation is performed using the LCD panel and keypad located on the front of the
SkyEdge Pro or IP VSATs. There is no requirement for a PC (laptop or desktop) to
configure the VSAT. The SkyEdge Pro VSAT is shown in Figure 1 (front) and Figure 5
(rear). The IP VSAT is shown in Figure 2 (front) and Figure 7 (rear). The d SkyEdge IP
VSAT Version 3 (Figure 3) and SkyEdge Call VSAT (Figure 4) are configured using
the internal web page. This procedure is found in Section 2.3.
