1. Introduction

The STM SatLink 1000, 1900, 1901 and 1910 are the indoor units (IDUs) of the STM SatLink VSAT

family of DVB-RCS VSATs. They perform several functions: they are satellite modems (at Layer 1);

they handle data link layer processing (at Layer 2) for both satellite and LAN communications; and they

act as IP routers and DHCP servers (at Layer 3). All SatLink IDUs provide an Ethernet 10/100 LAN

interface for one or more PCs to engage in two-way communication via a SatLink (or any DVB-RCS

compliant) satellite network.

1.1 About this User Guide

This User Guide covers the installation and operation of the STM SatLink 1000/1900/1901/1901,

commonly also referred to as the indoor unit (IDU) of the DVB-RCS VSAT, together with the

accompanying outdoor unit (ODU) equipment. It is intended for DVB professionals, such as service

providers and installers. Therefore, it does not contain information for non-professional users, such as

given in the user manuals of consumer electronics products.

The information given pertains to the following STM software (SW) and hardware (HW) versions and

releases:

SatLink IDU Software

•STM SatLink Boot loader, P/N 101225, SW build 1.8.0.2 and later

•STM SatLink Boot loader, P/N 106267, version 9.0.0 and later

•STM SatLink DVB-RCS VSAT Software, P/N 101224, version 12.0.0 and later

SatLink VSAT IDU Hardware models

•STM SatLink 100 DVB-S2 Plug-in card for SatLink 1910, P/N 107261

•STM SatLink 1000, P/N 103346

•STM SatLink 1900, P/N 100715

•STM SatLink 1901, P/N 102105

•STM SatLink 1910, P/N 103798

Ku-band Equipment

Transceivers

•STM SatLink 4033, P/N 104804

1.2 Initial Configuration

The STM SatLink VSAT IDU must be configured before it can communicate via the satellite to and from

the network Hub. The parameters to be configured are explained in section 6.2.

The configuration of the VSAT IDU can be carried out using the configuration tools:

•Command Line Interface (CLI)

-Via RS232/Terminal emulator (e.g. HyperTerminal)

-Telnet

•Web-interface (basic configuration only)

•SNMP

Configuration via CLI is presented in section 5-15, configuration via Web-interface is presented in

Appendix A, and management via SNMP is presented in Appendix E. The Web interface can be used for

most common configuration tasks, while advanced configuration is only available via SNMP and CLI.

3. Installation

3.1 Before installation

3.1.1 Safety

Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:

•Always comply with national and local electrical codes.

•Keep the installation area clear and dust free during and after installation.

•Keep tools and all components away from walk areas.

•Do not wear loose clothing, jewellery (including rings and chains), or other items that might get

caught on the IDU, the ODU or the interconnecting cables.

•Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during lightning storms.

Follow these guidelines when working with electrical equipment:

•Disconnect all power and external cables before installing or removing a SatLink VSAT IDU.

•Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.

•Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.

•Do not act in any way that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.

•Never install equipment that appears damaged.

•Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, unearthed mains

extension cables and missing protective earths.

Should an electrical accident occur:

•Be cautious – do not become a victim yourself.

•Turn off electrical power to the system.

•If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the condition of the victim and

then call for help.

•Determine if the victim needs artificial respiration or external cardiac compressions; then take

appropriate action.

3.1.2 Site requirements

The STM SatLink VSAT IDU shall be connected to the mains 110/230 VAC, 50-60Hz.
