Chapter 1
I nstallation overview
This document explains how to install the HX System Gateway (HXGW)/fixed rack
model and the HX System transportable gateway (TGW) rack and their components.
It covers HX System release 4.1; some of the equipment references do not apply to
the hardware that supported previous releases.
This document provides complete installation instructions, covering rack
installation, component installation, power, grounding, and specifications. Before
beginning the installation, ensure that you are familiar with all the material in this
manual. Observe all safety advisories when replacing any hardware or hard drives.
This document is addressed to telecommunications installation technicians and
engineers. Installers must have experience and expertise in installing satellite
communications systems and receive Hughes training on the HX System.
HXGW rack configurations
The rack configurations are as follows:
HX fixed rack model
Redundant NOC 24U
Redundant NOC with 10 Msps CDS 24U or 45U
Redundant NOC without network management and support services
(NMSS) 24U
Expansion rack 24U or 45U
TGW
TGW-100
TGW-100 with extended frequency support
The fixed-rack HXGW is a single 24-unit (24U) or 45-unit (45U) rack of components
and is available in redundant and expansion configurations. The redundant rack
includes backups of key components to minimize downtime in the event of
component failure.
The TGW is a single 10-unit (10U) rack of components contained within the rack
enclosure bulkhead.
The system and wiring diagrams show where each component is placed in each type
of rack. See References to assembly drawings and wiring diagrams on page 19 for
information about the wiring diagrams.
Sample rack elevations
Figure 1 on page 14 shows an example of the layout of a 24U rack. Empty slots are
used for network expansion.

System hardware architecture
Figure 3 shows the subsystems, the network connections, and the core components
that comprise the HXGW. Core components are those system elements that are
standard with the HX System and are required for network operation.
NOTE: 1: The outroute subsystem as illustrated applies to the 24U rack model. The
45U rack provides L-band outputs.
2: The 24U racks are pre-configured for estimated closed loop timing (CLT)
mode. The 45U racks are pre-configured for echo-local timing mode.

Core components
HXGW core components are those system elements that are standard in all HX
Systems. They are:
Interface subsystem components
RF subsystem components
Outroute subsystem components
Timing subsystem components
Inroute subsystem components
Network management support subsystem (NMSS) components
Local area network (LAN)/Virtual LAN (VLAN) switch
Note: The servers are not general purpose personal computers (PCs). They are
meant for a specific application and should not be used for any other activity
(such as web browsing, e-mail, web games, web downloads, mail servers, or
web mail). This list is not comprehensive; each site manager should provide
guidelines to protect these servers from being used for other activities.
Optional components
The following components are not required to use the network, but can be added to
the HXGW to provide additional functionality:
Automatic cross polarization (ACP) server
TurboPage server
Virtual private network (VPN) requires a rack-mountable acceleration server
deployed within the enterprise's intranet
The HXGW contains configurable demodulator subsystem (CDS) functionality and
transmission functionality within a single rack. This plug-and-play HXGW requires
only two intermediate frequency (IF) cable connections (one for inroutes and one
for outroutes).
HXGWs have expansion capability.
The HXGW is a redundant rack that provides both baseband transmission subsystem
and CDS functionality, accommodating a redundant HXGW with one outroute and a
maximum of 32 256-ksps inroutes in a single (default) 24-unit (24U) or 45-unit (45U)
rack. The rack can be upgraded to support more than one outroute and more than
32 256-ksps inroutes.
Component redundancy
The redundant HXGW provides device redundancy to minimize HXGW down time in
the event of component failure.
Table 1 on page 19 lists the HXGW components and specifies which of these
components are redundant.

Chapter 2
I nstalling the power supply
This chapter explains the functional requirements of the power supply and how to
connect power and ground to the rack.
Power supply functional requirements
The power supply requirements are different for the HXGW and the HX TGW.
HXGW power supply
The HXGW has two power feeds which both have a rated input current is 24A and
supports 100-125V/200-240 volts alternating current (VAC). The HXGW rated input
current is 2 x 100-120/200-240 volts alternating current. The rack is provided with
2 x 200-240 VAC /30A L6-30P feeds.
HX TGW power supply
The HX TGW rated input current is 16A and supports 100-125V/200-240 VAC. The
HX TGW is factory configured as 100-125 VAC single phase.
The low power consumption allows for a 100-125 VAC L5-20P feed. The total power
consumption is ~ 4A at 120VAC.
Power distribution
The following warnings alert you to possible safety hazards and should be strictly
enforced.

Sites requiring UL approval require a readily accessible ULlisted circuit breaker
rated 30A per feed maximum for HXGW and 20A for HX TGW. The 30A twist-lock
must be located adjacent to the rack to serve as a quick disconnect. Failure to
comply with this warning could result in personal injury caused by electric shock.

Verify that the UL-listed circuit breaker is off before routing a power cable from
the circuit breaker to the rack. To prevent accidental activation of the circuit
breaker while installation work is in progress, tag and/or lock the circuit breaker
to indicate that the equipment is being serviced. Failure to comply with this
warning could result in personal injury caused by electric shock.

Chapter 2 Installing the power supply
1038687-0001 Revision D
25

For CE-compliant sites, a readily accessible CE-compliant device must be
provided adjacent to the rack to serve as a disconnect device and overcurrent
protection device. Failure to comply with this warning could result in personal
injury caused by electric shock.

Verify that the CE-compliant device is off before routing a power cable from the
device to the rack. To prevent accidental activation of the CE-compliant device
while installation work is in progress, tag and/or lock the device to indicate that
the equipment is being serviced. Failure to comply with this warning could result
in personal injury caused by electric shock.

For the HXGW rack only, disconnect both AC input power connections before
servicing.

High current leakage present. An earth connection is essential before connecting
the power supply.
HXGW power distribution
The rack receives separate AC power for each of the two power distribution units
(PDUs). Figure 4 and Figure 5 show front and rear views of the PDUs respectively.
AC power is connected to the PDUs using an IEC L6-30 connector. Refer to the AC
Power Distribution sheet of the rack wiring diagram for information about wiring
rack components to power sources for HX redundant rack models and HX expansion
rack model.

The front receptacles on each PDU are tested for a maximum of 1200 W output
power. Exceeding this limit can cause permanent damage to the equipment.

26
1038687-0001 Revision D

Figure 4: AC PDU front panel

Figure 5: PDU rear view (TPC2105-1)
Each PDU contains:
Two 15-amp circuit breakers with kick guards
Two POWER ON indicator light emitting diodes (LEDs)
See Figure 4 and Figure 5 for power outlet locations.
Note: Each pair of outlets such as J1-J2 or J3-J4 is limited to 12 amps.
EMI RFI filtering both common and differential modes
The power inlet is an IEC L6-30 connector connected through a 30A twist lock to the
PDU installed on the bottom of the unit.
Each PDU has EMI RFI filtering of both common and differential modes.
The HXGW and expansion rack are configured with dual 240V single phase AC inputs
using NEMA L6-30P connectors (shown in Figure 6). This plug type is intended for
systems without a neutral; that is, systems with 240 VAC between the X and Y phase
pins of the connector.

Grounding
This section provides details on HXGW and HX TGW equipment grounding.
HXGW grounding
The HXGW rack is grounded for safety with a green/yellow tracer 10AWG wire. All
modules where AC power is delivered will be grounded through wires attached to a
point on the racks unpainted surface. See Figure 10 on page 30 shows the rack
ground point. It is located on the interior rear of the rack on the bottom right hand
corner.
For signal ground, an extra ground wire is attached between the rack and any other
peripheral devices.

Cabling the HX Gateway
This chapter describes how cables are labeled and connected to the rack
components.
As-shipped assemblies
The racks are fully assembled, cabled, and tested at the factory. Some components
may be removed for shipment, packed in their original factory shipping containers,
and shipped to the site.
On site, any separate components are unpacked and installed in the racks.
After testing, some gateways and other field-replaceable units (FRUs) may need to
be replaced and recabled. Chapter 8 Replacing field replaceable units on page 67
provides instructions for replacing all FRUs. Use the wiring diagrams shipped with
the equipment in conjunction with the procedures in that chapter to cable newly
replaced FRUs.
Cable labeling
As shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13, all data and power cables are labeled with a
unique label that identifies the cable number and the chassis slot destination.

Figure 12: Data cable label

I nstalling the rack
This chapter describes the procedures for installing the multiple racks of the HXGW
and the TGW.
Overview
The rack should be installed on a sturdy, horizontal surface that is elevated above
the building floor so that incoming and outgoing wires and cables can be run to the
rack. The wiring and cable route must be accessible through the openings built into
the top and bottom of the rack for this purpose.

The rack must be installed in restricted access areas (for example, dedicated
equipment rooms or equipment closets) in accordance with Articles 110-16,
110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Inspecting rack equipment
Upon receipt of the equipment:
Inspect all shipping cartons, boxes, or other containers for external damage;
any damage should be noted before opening.
Before unpacking, note the server identification number label on both the
packaging and the server itself.
Note the identification labels on the inside of the rear portion of the rack.
Report any equipment damage to the shipping carrier immediately for claim
purposes.
Save all of the packing material until the rack installation has been completed.
Use the bill of materials (BOM) as a checklist to inventory the shipment
contents and verify all items noted in it are present. Any shortages should be
reported to Hughes immediately for resolution.
Tools and materials required for installation
The following tools and materials are required for installation and are furnished by
the user:
Hammer
Chisel
Flat-tip screwdrivers, various blade widths

1400 lb vertical rack
Unpacking the rack
Follow the procedure in this section to unpack the rack.

The shipped loaded rack itself can weigh up to 700 pounds (318 kilograms (kg)).
You must use material-handling equipment rated for this load in order to safely
move, erect, and position the rack. You could be killed or severely injured if you
attempt to move it alone.

Hughes supplies racks in vertical crate/skid configurations:
1. Using a forklift truck or pallet truck, move the rack to an open area near the
installation location.
2. Cut open the vacuum bag and remove it and any additional bubble wrap or
other packaging from the top and sides of the rack.
3. Remove the excess packing from the bottom of the rack.
4. Remove the plastic moisture barrier from the rack.
HXGW rack installation
The rack should be installed on a sturdy, horizontal surface that is protected from
direct sunlight, rain, heavy dust, and extreme temperatures.
Installing bushings and bushing plugs
This procedure lists the steps necessary to install bushings (9506342-0001) onto the
bottom and top panel cable access holes. The bushings are necessary to prevent
damage to the cables from the sharp inside edges of the cable access holes.
Note: To install bushings/bushing plugs in bottom panel holes, it may be necessary
to remove an adjacent floor panel.
36
1038687-0001 Revision D

1. Determine which holes will be used for cable access. Unused holes will be
plugged.
2. Knockouts are removed using a hammer and chisel/flat-bladed screwdriver.
Openings are made in the top cover by hitting the knockouts from the top
(outside) of the cabinet. Openings are made in the bottom cover by hitting the
knockout from the bottom (inside) of the cabinet. Take care not to damage
any of the equipment.
3. Install snap-in bushings in the new openings. The bushings protect the wires
from damage.
4. Insert cables through the bushing holes where needed and connect to the
appropriate locations.
Rear rack door installation
If the rear rack door is already installed, the installation is complete. Otherwise,
install the door by aligning its hinges with the racks hinge pins, then lower the rear
door onto them. Verify that all door hinges are seated on their hinge pins and that
the door opens and closes properly.

The rear rack doors are a part of the fire enclosure. Therefore, to avoid a fire
hazard, they must be closed when the equipment is not being serviced. Failure
to comply with this warning could result in personal injury and equipment
damage caused by fire.

Figure 16: Rack AC distribution panels/main AC circuit breaker switch locations
3. Observe the power light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in front of the dynamic
network control cluster (DNCC), IP gateway-satellite gateway modulator
(IPGW-SGM), and network management and support services (NMSS) servers.
They should be amber. If they are green, power down the server and then
reapply power.
4. Verify the redundant power supply module is installed in the 1U LAN switch.
5. Wait for the local area network (LAN) switch to power up and complete its
post and spanning-tree checks. This takes approximately 35 minutes. The
SYST, MASTER, STAT and RPS LEDs glow steady green when the device is fully
booted.
42
1038687-0001 Revision D

6. Power up the NMSS server. Wait 23 minutes for the NMSS to complete the
startup. (The keyboard/monitor is connected to the NMSS, allowing you to
monitor the NMSS startup on the display.)
7. Power up the IPGW-SGM1, IPGW-SGM2, interfaculty subsystem (CDS-A and
CDS-B) servers. Wait 5 minutes for these servers to complete their startup.
8. Power up the dual timing unit.
9. Verify that the timing generators are powered on (there is no power switch).
10. Power up the DNCC1 and DNCC2 servers.
11. Wait 5 minutes for the DNCC servers to start up.
TGW rack
To activate the TGW rack:
Note: The procedures in this section cover activating the rack after the physical
installation of all of the components, but before configuring for the
particular network being installed.
1. Ensure that the power switch on the dual timing unit (DTU) is in the OFF
position.
2. Apply power to the TGW rack by turning on the main AC switch on the rear
panel.
3. Observe the power LEDs on the front panels of the DNCC, IP gateway-satellite
gateway, and NMSS servers. The LEDs should be amber. If they are green,
remove power for five seconds, and then reconnect it.
4. Wait for the LAN switch to power up and complete its POST and spanning tree
checks. This takes approximately 35 min. When the device is fully booted,
the SYST, MASTER, STAT and RPS LEDs will glow steady green.
5. Power up the NMSS server. Wait 23 min for the NMSS to complete the
startup process.
6. Power up the IP gateway-satellite gateway server. Wait approximately 5
minutes for the server to complete its startup process.
7. Power up the DTU.
8. Verify that the timing generator is powered ON (there is no power switch).
9. Power up the DNCC server. Wait approximately 5 minutes for the DNCC server
to start up.
Starting up the servers and databases
The servers installed in the racks start automatically when power is applied to the
rack. The Windows services are also configured to start automatically.
The unified element manager (UEM) database runs automatically as a service:
OracleServiceUEM is the actual UEM database service.
OracleOraHome92TNSListener is the listener service for remote connections
to the database.
OracleOraHome92Agent is the Oracle Agent used to communicate with
management services.
OracleOraHome92HTTPServer is the Oracle/Apache Web server.
1038687-0001 Revision D
43

Because the OracleServiceUEM service is set to start automatically, the database
starts and mounts each time the computer is started up.
Note: Any time the UEM Service (or database) is restarted, it requires a
corresponding restart of the Vision services. Therefore, you must also restart
the conditional access control (CAC) application. The auto-commissioning
server (ACS) Lite uses ColdFusion and is capable of automatically
reconnecting to the databases. Therefore, there is no need to restart it when
restarting the database.
Starting services
The services required to run HXGW and TGW components are pre-configured to
start automatically when the servers are powered up. This section provides
information about those services.
Vision services
The Vision services manage the HX ExpertNMS web-based application. The Vision
services are started automatically when the NMSs server is turned on; you do not
need to log on to the UEM Vision platform and manually start the Vision services.
To confirm that the Vision services have started, log on to the Vision server and
start the Windows Services utility. All Vision services have a JService prefix.

Chapter 7
Calibrating I F
Most procedures described in this document use the Vision GUI. However, the
procedures described in this chapter require the DNCC GUI and cannot be
performed using Vision.
Overview
Calibration must be performed in order to set the power level and frequency offset
of the intermediate frequency (IF) signal going into the IF distribution unit (IFDU) 2
to be within the specified range. Calibration compensates for unknown parameters
in the system such as cable loss, amplifier gain, and frequency error.
This chapter describes how to measure the existing power level and frequency
offset and to make the necessary adjustments to get these parameters into the
range required for proper operation of the HXGW equipment.
Figure 23 on page 58 shows the calibration equipment setup and signal flow. A
collocated Hughes satellite router, set up in a test mode for continuous wave (CW)
transmission, is used as the reference transmitter. Because no power control has
been applied, the satellite router transmits at its maximum level. The signal is
received at the HXGW antenna, amplified, down-converted, and routed to the
splitter/amplifier. A spectrum analyzer at the splitter/amplifier monitor point
measures the frequency error and signal power of the test carrier. The receive
carrier power can be adjusted by setting the power at the down-converter. The
frequency error is used to adjust the inroute sweep center frequency setting for
each of the HXGW receiver channels.

Figure 23: Calibration setup
When to perform calibration
The calibration procedure for an HXGW System must be performed as part of the
HXGW rack installation procedure. Once the HXGW is calibrated, it is generally not
necessary to make any further adjustments.
The calibration procedure for an HX TGW System must be performed as part of the
CDS installation procedure. Once the CDS is calibrated, it is generally not necessary
to make any further adjustments.
However, if any equipment in the receive path (satellite dish, low-noise amplifier
(LNA), down-converter, distribution, or cabling), is ever replaced or adjusted, or if
there is a change in which satellite transponder is used, it is necessary to repeat the
calibration procedure.
Collocated satellite router
To calibrate the HXGW rack, a Hughes satellite router must be installed at the same
location (in the same building) as the rack. The Hughes satellite router consists of
both indoor and outdoor equipment.
58
1038687-0001 Revision D

Follow the installation instructions associated with the type of Hughes satellite
router equipment used in your network. The satellite dish must be accurately
pointed to receive the strongest possible outroute signal from the satellite. Because
this is the first satellite router installed in your network, and therefore the HXGW
equipment installation has not yet been completed, it is not yet possible to fully
commission the satellite router.
Calibration pre-conditions
The following calibration pre-conditions apply.

TGW equipment is set up to support an outroute. The satellite gateways and
modulators must be configured so that the supported outroute is enabled and
active.
The DTU is installed and configured.
The DNCC is installed and configured. The inroutes should not be enabled
until after the calibration procedure is complete.
There is available spectrum on the transponder to support one inroute. This
inroute frequency is used to send the test signal during calibration.
Calibration equipment
To properly perform the calibration, you need a spectrum analyzer that operates in
the range of 70 MHz 9 MHz.
Transmitting a CW test signal
To get the collocated satellite router to transmit the CW test signal, you must issue
the SendTest command from the DNCC GUI. To issue this command:
1. From the DNCC GUI, select the General tab, shown in Figure 24 on page 61.
Note: Most procedures described in this document use the Vision GUI.
However, the procedures described in this chapter require the GNCC
GUI and cannot be performed using Vision.
2. In the IRU Command field, select SendTest.
3. In the Serial No. field, enter the serial number of the collocated satellite
router.
4. In the Pattern field, enter 8.
5. In the Frequency field, enter the RF frequency of the inroute being used to
perform the calibration. See Calculating the frequency for information on
entering the RF frequency.
60
1038687-0001 Revision D

Figure 24: DNCC GUI General tab
6. In the Band (Ku=0, Ka=1, C=2) field, select the appropriate band for the RF
frequency used to perform the calibration.
7. Check the Repeat every 30s checkbox.
8. Click Send to issue the command to the satellite router to begin transmission
of the test CW signal.
Calculating the frequency
Frequencies entered using the Send Test screen are sent directly to the satellite
router as entered by an operator. Therefore, when issuing a SendTest command on
an Extended Ku-band frequency, the operator must do the conversion that is
performed internally by the DNCC for all the configured inroute frequencies.
The base for Ku band is 14.0 gigahertz (GHz) for inroutes between 14.0 GHz
and 14.5 GHz; or 13.0 GHz for inroutes in the 13.7513.999 GHz range.
The base for C band is 5.85 GHz.
The base for KA band is 29.5 GHz.
1038687-0001 Revision D
61

The formula to convert an Extended KU offset in 100 Hz units to internal DNCC
format is (offset - 7500000 + 5000001). For example, if an inroute RF frequency is
13.800 GHz, the inroute is configured by the operator on the DNCC inroute
configuration as 8000000.
When DNCC is broadcasting this inroute frequency to the satellite router, it sends
5500001 (8000000 - 7500000 + 5000001). To issue a test command using 8000000
frequency, the operator must enter 5500001 at the frequency prompt.
Note: For inroutes not operating on extended Ku-band frequencies, the actual RF
frequency value is given in the Send Test IRU command.
Adjusting the inroute level
1. Disconnect all output cables from both splitter/amplifiers.
2. Connect the cable:
a. For the HXGW, connect down converter output to BNC 4WAY A. (Refer to
the HXGW wiring diagram in Appendix E Wiring diagrams, on page 115.)
b. For the TGW, connect the cable from RFT LNB to Rx L-band (N).
3. Connect the spectrum analyzer to one of the output ports on the
splitter/amplifier:
a. HXGW: BNC 4WAY A
b. TGW: 70 MHz Out
4. Tune the spectrum analyzer to the inroute IF frequency. The relationship
between the inroute IF frequency and the inroute RF frequency is determined
by the particular satellite frequency plan and the down-converter setting at
the hub.
5. Set the Span to 50 kHz.
6. Verify that the CW test signal is visible and legible on the spectrum analyzer
display. The signal appears as a CW tone centered at the designated inroute IF
frequency. If the signal does not appear at the splitter/amplifier port, verify
the levels at the other places along the receive chain, including the LNA, the
down-converter input, and output until the problem is resolved.
7. Measure the power of the CW test signal by moving the spectrum analyzer
marker to the peak of the CW test signal and reading the value from the
spectrum analyzer in dBm. (A quick way to locate the peak of the CW test
signal is to press the peak search button on the spectrum analyzer.)
8. At the down-converter, adjust the inroute power level until the measured
value on the spectrum analyzer is within 0.2 dB of the desired value, based
on the inroute symbol rate:
256 ksps inroutes, set to -46 dBm
62
1038687-0001 Revision D

Determining the inroute frequency error
Use the spectrum analyzer to measure the frequency error of the CW test signal.
1. Before you begin, you may want to zoom in on the CW test signal so you can
more accurately measure its frequency by centering the CW test signal on the
spectrum analyzer and decreasing the span. Repeat this process until the span
is low enough to get an accurate measurement of the CW test signal
frequency. The span should be 5 kHz or less.
2. Subtract the expected CW test signal frequency from the actual measured
frequency. The result is the frequency error.
3. On the DNCC GUI, change the value in the Frequency field by adding the
frequency error calculated in step 2 with the value currently in that field. To
convert from the actual Ku-band frequency to the numeric value of the field,
see the instructions in step 4 under Transmitting a CW test signal on page 60.
4. Re-issue the SendTest command on the DNCC GUI by clicking Send. This
commands the satellite router to start transmitting the CW test signal at the
new frequency.
5. Tune the spectrum analyzer back to the expected inroute IF frequency and
zoom back out to a span of 50 kHz. Repeat steps 1-4 until the frequency
measured on the spectrum analyzer is within 100 Hz of the desired inroute
IF frequency.
6. Subtract the expected inroute IF frequency from the final value that was
entered into the Frequency field on the DNCC GUI. The result is the inroute
frequency error. Record this value; you need it to adjust all of the inroute
frequency configuration settings in the HXGW.
7. Using the serial interface handler (SIH), adjust the inroute IF frequency for
each inroute associated with this downconverter. Add the frequency error
value determined in step 6 of Determining the inroute frequency error above
with the expected (nominal) inroute IF frequency. Enter this new adjusted
value into the Inroute IF field of the inroute configuration.
8. Disable the CW transmission at the collocated satellite router by clicking Stop
on the DNCC GUI.
9. Disconnect the spectrum analyzer from the splitter/amplifier and reconnect
all cables.
For an HX TGW System, disconnect the spectrum analyzer from the
downconverter monitor port and reconnect the BNC attenuator to the
downconverter monitor port.
Fine tuning the power level
Once the downconverter power level has been adjusted and the inroute frequency
error has been determined, the power level must be fine-tuned. This is because, up
until this point, the collocated satellite router has been transmitting at full power. In
an operational HX System network, the satellite routers may be transmitting at a
power level that is backed off from the maximum power level. The difference in
power is a function of the networks link budget as well as the specified E
b
/N
o
target
as configured on the DNCC. Differences could range from 0 dB to 10 dB.
1038687-0001 Revision D
63

Consequently, the current power level may be as much as 10 dB lower than the
nominal level required by the HXGW rack.
1. From the DNCC GUI, enable the inroutes.
2. Perform ranging on the collocated satellite router over the newly configured
inroutes assigned to the HXGW rack. On the DNCC logs, observe the ranged
E
b
/N
o
values for this satellite router. It may be useful to observe how much
the E
b
/N
o
value was reduced from the first ranging attempt to the final
ranging attempt. This reduction in power level is an indication of how much
the satellite routers transmission was reduced from full power.
3. Send traffic over the newly configured inroutes from the collocated satellite
router. This can be accomplished through pings originated at the satellite
router. From the DNCC statistics screen, determine which inroute is carrying
the traffic (packet count will be increasing).
4. Follow the steps below to read the automatic gain control (AGC) level value of
the inroute that is carrying the traffic from the SIH:
a. On the CP console, start up the SIH.
b. From the SIH main menu, select Statistics
c. From the Statistics menu, select Snapshot of Current Inroute Statistics.
d. Enter the inroute number that is carrying the traffic from the collocated
satellite router.
e. The SIH displays statistics for this inroute. Read the value displayed after
Average AGC Level (in units 0.1 dB) to get the AGC level.
5. The AGC level is an indication of how much the IF signal level going into the
RCM differs from the nominal (ideal) level. Adjust the AGC level to get it close
to 0. (Most likely, the value will be negative.)
6. Adjust the power level until the AGC level is in the range of 0 dB 2. This is the
fine calibration procedure and can be accomplished by adjusting the
attenuator knob on the IFDU2 (or the downconverter). If the IFDU2 (or the
downconverter) attenuator runs out of range, the power level of the
downconverter) must be adjusted. The AGC level can be verified by repeating
the procedure in Step 4. This can be performed as many times as needed.
7. Once the AGC level is in the range of 0 dB 2, the calibration procedure is
complete.
Maintaining calibration
Once the HXGW is calibrated, it generally is not necessary to make any further
adjustments. However, you should periodically monitor the power level and
frequency offset of the inroute carrier to ensure these parameters have not drifted
too far out of range. The acceptable range for the power level is 5 dB from
nominal. The frequency error should remain within the configured sweep range of
the inroute. Always make these measurements under clear sky conditions.
Calibration can be repeated anytime, even after a network has been commissioned
for service. Ordinarily, the network is in an operational state, so it is only necessary
to repeat the fine-tuning portion of the calibration procedure. Fine-tuning can be
performed on both the power level as well as the frequency offset, since the inroute
64
1038687-0001 Revision D

statistics reported by SIH include both power and frequency offset information.
Alternatively, the entire calibration procedure can be repeated. This does impact
the network because you need to temporarily remove one of the inroutes from the
service in which the measurements are made. That inroute is needed for
transmitting the CW test signal.
If power level adjustments are needed, you can use the attenuator knob on the front
of the downconverter at any time to make fine adjustments ( 5 dB). However,
frequency adjustments would require reconfiguration of all of the inroute channels.

Replacing field replaceable units
In an initial customer site installation, the rack and the components are fully
assembled and tested at the factory. The loaded rack is then shipped to the site for
installation. It may be necessary to replace components in the field at a later date.
This chapter provides instructions for ordering field replaceable units (FRUs) and
replacing them in the rack.
Overview
The following servers and other components are installed in the rack. These
components are all FRUs, which means that they can be swapped out as necessary.
Servers
The servers installed in the rack are as follows:
Internet protocol gateway (IPGW)/Satellite gateway modulator (SGM) server
Dynamic network control cluster (DNCC)/ special service gateway (SSGW)
server
Network management and support services (NMSS) server
Note: Server disks are not FRUs. If a server disk requires replacement, the entire
server is replaced.
Other components
Other components installed in the rack are as follows:
Timing subsystem, which includes:
Timing generator (TG) 2
Dual timing unit
TG2 modules (trays)
TG2 chassis
1UTG timing generator (used in HX TGW)

Ordering FRUs
Hughes guarantees repair and delivery of spare parts for a maximum of seven years.
However, Hughes may at any time provide written confirmation of plans to cease
production of purchased equipment. To order an FRU, contact your Hughes
customer service representative.
A standard 12-month warranty is provided with your HX System. Extended one-year
warranties can be purchased annually. For standard Hughes warranty service, a
return material authorization (RMA) is required. Once an RMA is obtained, return
the component for repair and Hughes will return the unit to you once the repairs
are complete. Repair times are typically 30 days for components repaired by Hughes
and 60 days for third-party vendor repairs.
Hughes also offers an advanced warranty replacement (AWR) policy. Hughes will
immediately ship a replacement for a failed unit to purchasers of this policy. The
customer assumes financial responsibility for returning the failed unit.
If a product failure occurs after the warranty period expires, Hughes may offer, at its
discretion, a service contract agreement. Customers without a service contract
agreement must generate a purchase order (PO) for repair charges, based on a
quote for repair from Hughes customer service.

VA x 0.80 (power factor) = watts
Watts x 3.413 = Btu/Hour
British thermal unit (BTU)/Hr]/11,842 = Ton rating of the cooling system
Line capacity rating relates to power consumption x 1.4 (60% efficiency on the
power supply)
In-rush currents for digital circuits is the power feed to the chassis x 1.4
This consideration is to handle peak in-rush for poorly equipped AC
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems
Slow-start systems have built-in, in-rush handling circuits and can handle
considerations of 1.3 x steady state power requirements.
Maximum load for good quality UPS is 70% per circuit
