Chapter 1 Product Overview
Agilis, a global leader in the design, development and manufacturing of

quality satellite products for various applications, introduces the Medium
Power Compact C-BUC.
The Medium Power Compact C-BUC is easy to install and redundancy

ready. The Agilis C-Band BUC also offers a wide range of distinctive
advantages and enhanced features for satellite communication systems in
remote or challenging geographic regions. Its innovative and robust design
makes it very reliable under harsh environment conditions.
This user manual provides detailed information to system integrators and

end users on how to set-up, operate and maintain the Medium Power
Compact C-BUC.
1.1 About The BUC

The Medium Power Compact BLOCK UP CONVERTER (C-BUC) is a high
performance, cost-effective RF transmitter designed for satellite
communication with high speed transmission capability suitable for both
telephony and high speed data communication.
The C-band BUC can be operated with different modulation formats such
as BPSK, QPSK and FM. Due to stringent performance specifications, it is
suitable for the following applications:
 Single Carrier Per Channel (SCPC)
 Multi-Carrier Per Channel (MCPC)
 Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA)
 Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
The Medium Power Compact C-BUC is an outdoor unit mounted directly

onto the orthogonal mount transceiver (OMT) of the antenna. For
mounting, it has one M8 x 10 mm screw hole for support mounted frames.
It can also be mounted directly onto the waveguide orthogonal mount
transducer by means of four screws.
The transmit output waveguide is WR137 with groove and O-ring is

provided. A yellow transparent tape is laminated onto the waveguide;
together with the O-ring and proper installation, this prevents water
ingress through the waveguide.
 Note: DO NOT remove the yellow transparent tape, it is meant to be

permanently laminated at the waveguide transmit output.
IM02960153 Rev. F 1
1.2 BUC Functions

The main function of the C-Band Block Up Converter (C-BUC) is to up
convert L-band transmit signal to the C-Band transmit frequency range and
amplifies it by an integrated SSPA. The C-BUC is a single stage up
conversion from L-band to C-band frequencies using a 10 MHz external
referenced phase locked oscillator. The spectrum is non-inverted with
phase noise surpassing Intelsat, Insat, Measat 3, ST-1/Palapa-C and Full C
standards and low DC power consumption.
The BUC includes the following function modules:
 Cooling sub-system
The cooling system consists of heat sink and fans and uses forced-air
convection cooling. All RF modules are placed on a heat sink for
effective heat dissipation. High power devices are cooled by inbuilt
fans which operate on DC power generated internally by the power
supply unit.
 Note: Please keep the side of the BUC at least 6” away from any
obstruction to allow air circulation through the fans.
An over-temperature switch monitors the internal temperature of

the unit. When the temperature exceeds acceptable operating
limits, the SSPA module is automatically disabled, minimizing
damage to the power devices.
 Solid state power amplifier

Each BUC has an internal SSPA module. The BUC feeds up-converted
signals into an internal SSPA module to be amplified for transmission
to the satellite via the antenna. The SSPA uses high power FETs to
generate the required output power. The SSPA operates on DC
power internally generated by the internal power supply unit.
 Monitor and control

The M&C module is the central processing hub of the C-BUC. It is
developed on an embedded microcontroller to perform the required
monitoring and control functions. The unit can be connected to a
remote PC via serial communication using RS232/485 or through
Ethernet (SNMP and Web). Using the M&C module, you can:
 Control the BUC

 BUC temperature
 LO unlocked alarm
 Monitor RF (RF output power and temperature) and electrical
readings.
 Check alarm status
 LED status indicator
2 IM02960153 Rev. F
 Power supply
The Medium Power C-BUC is powered either by an integrated AC

Power Supply Unit (PSU) or an external PSU. The C-BUC with AC
integrated PSU is powered via an external 230V AC power source. An
internal AC-DC converter converts the AC power received into the
DC voltages required by the various modules within the BUC. The
internal AC-DC converter receives AC power and converts it to DC
voltages which are then supplied to the various internal modules and
cooling fans. The Medium Power C-BUC with AC integrated PSU
offers convenience in setup and requires less cabling.
The Medium Power C-BUC that requires an external PSU receives a

48V DC power (range 38V to 60V). This DC power is fed into the C-
BUC which is converted to suitable voltages required by the various
other modules and fans. The power supplies in all Agilis equipment
are compact, reliable, and have adequate consideration for safety,
EMC and EMI.
 Note: The 20W Medium Power Compact C-BUC has an option to

derive its voltage supply through the centre conductor of input
connector.
WARNING: The Compact C-BUC is automatically powered on when

power is applied. To avoid damaging the BUC, do not connect the entire
setup to the primary AC power source until all connections have been
made.

2.2.2 Redundancy Control Unit RCU-T

The BUC 1:1 Redundancy Controller Unit (BUC RCU) is used with two
Agilis’ BUCs in redundancy operation. A fault condition in the Online BUC,
or an operator-generated command, will switch the offline BUC into the
transmission path and the online BUC out of the transmission path.
Fault condition is determined by the alarm status of the BUC. If the status
signal (at Pin D of connectors M&C_A & M&C_B) of the BUC is lower than
1.4V, an alarm will be generated.
The RCU can operate in two redundancy modes, “Manual” and “Auto”.
Under “Manual” mode, users control the switching mechanism. The RCU
does not automatically generate a switch even when a BUC is faulty. This
mode allows users to repair faults or perform routine maintenance of any
BUC without disrupting signal transmission.
Under “Auto” mode, the RCU automatically control the switching

mechanism based on the operating status of each BUC. This is the
recommended mode for daily operations.
 Note: This manual provides basic information on the RCU unit. Please
refer to the RCU manual for detailed explanations.

2.2.4 TX WR137 Waveguide Switch

The outdoor RF waveguide transfer switches are electromechanical
switches with manual override feature. They are actuated by 230VAC
50/60Hz from the AC mains during switch over. The switches do not
consume any power while idling.
The RF waveguide transfer switch is a four ports waveguide switch. Two

ports are connected to the two BUCs. A third port connects to the dummy
load while the last connects to the antenna feed.
The switch over can be automatically or manually controlled by the

operator. In “Auto” mode, the built-in redundancy system of the BUC
initiates a switching operation at the waveguide switch when a fault is
detected at either streams of the transmitter, switching the streams to
the offline BUC. This allows the link to be maintained while performing
fault diagnosis on the faulty BUC. You can also manually initiate this
switch for maintenance or diagnosis purposes.
The figure below shows the outline dimensions of the waveguide switch.
The time for each switch operation is 50ms.

IM02960153 Rev. F 33
3.2 Pre-Installation Preparations

3.2.1 Environmental Considerations
The Medium Power Compact C-BUC is an outdoor unit mounted directly
onto the orthogonal mount transducer (OMT) of the antenna. This design
allows the transmitter (power amplifier) to be installed close to the
transmitter antenna. The unit’s aluminium chassis is coated with white,
enamelled epoxy for environmental protection. All interface connectors
are sealed to prevent air and moisture from entering the unit.
According to the instructions supplied by the antenna manufacturer,

locate and install the antenna in an area that is free from RF interference
from motors and electronic equipment. A clear line of sight from the
antenna to the satellite is essential. To ensure safety and protection of
personnel and equipment, lightning arresters should also be used at the
site. Size 3/0 or 4/0 stranded copper wire should be used to bond the C-
BUC, LNB and Booster to the antenna frame and to the lightning
protection ground rod. The grounding resistance of the antenna should not
be more than 10 Ω.
Before proceeding with the mounting process, please ensure that the
environmental conditions in the area where the BUC is to be mounted is
appropriate for its optimal operation. These include:
 Temperature: -40ºC to +60ºC

 Relative Humidity: Up to 100% Weather protection sealed to IP65
3.2.2 Tools Required

We highly recommend having the following tools on hand before starting
the installation:
 1 complete set of socket wrench

 1 Philips head screwdriver
 1 cutter
 1 bag of cable ties (long and medium length)
 1 multi-meter

standard power supply interface of the Medium Power Compact C-BUC.
 Note: The 20W Medium Power Compact C-BUC has an option to derive
its voltage supply through the centre conductor of input connector.
SELECTING AN APPROPRIATE AC POWER SOURCE

When selecting the AC power source to connect your indoor and outdoor
units, please ensure that the voltages are within the limits specified in the
table below. You are recommended to use an Automatic Voltage Regulator
if your power source falls outside of these limitations.
Tolerance X VAC, where X is the AC requirement of the device

Live  Neutral 230 VAC ± 15%
Live  Earth 230 VAC ± 15%
Neutral  Earth < 5 VAC
 Note: The equipment may be damaged if the Neutral  Earth tolerance

exceeds 5VAC. Please check your grounding setup if this occurs.
 Note: Please note that you may interchange the wiring connection
between the live and neutral pins. Interchanging these two pins will still
power up the RCU but may affect the switching operation of the setup.
POWER SUPPLY  RCU

The RCU requires at least one, or up to two AC power sources for its
operation. AC power supply can be connected to either AC1 or AC2 of the
RCU. The RCU is able to provide power to the waveguide switches and
monitor the BUCs statuses if at least one interface, AC1 or AC2, is
connected to a working power source.
 Note: For the RCU to perform switching via the waveguide switch for
redundancy, the unit must be connected to a working power source via
AC1.

3.2.5 Pre-Installation Test

Performing a pre-installation test prior to the actual field installation
helps you to:
 Confirm that the unit has not been damaged during shipment.
 Check that the unit is in working order before performing a tiring

and costly mounting procedure on your antenna.
 Following are the test procedures for the ODU system. There are
two tests that are recommended; namely, the uplink and downlink
tests.
 Note: Ensure that no alarm or fault appears on the Medium Power

Compact C-BUC before performing any test.
 Note: To avoid damaging the C-BUC accidentally, connect a 30 dB, >

20W power attenuator to the RF output.
UPLINK TEST PROCEDURE
Step 1 Connect the C-BUC as shown in the figure below and power up the system.
Connection for uplink test procedure
 Note: * represents equipment not provided by Agilis
Step 2 Use the modem to input an L-Band pure carrier (by turning on the transmit
carrier and set the pure carrier feature to ON). Adjust the modem output
power so that the IF level input to C-BUC is -25 dBm.
IM02960153 Rev. F 37
Step 3 Measure the RF OUT of the C-BUC using a spectrum analyzer at C-band.
1. Calculate the total transmit gain based on this formula: Output
power – Input power + Amount of attenuation.
2. Compare the result against the specifications (Appendix B Unit
Specifications & Outline). If there is no signal, check that the
channel setting is correct.
Example:
Transmit gain = RF OUT power - IF IN power + Attenuation =
8 - (-25) + 30 = 63 dB
DOWNLINK TEST PROCEDURE
Step 1 Connect a waveguide adapter to the LNB and connect the IF out of the LNB
to the spectrum analyzer via a T-Bias as shown figure below. Connect an
external 10 MHz reference signal to the T-Bias, LNB supply voltage and
power up the T-Bias DC supply.
Step 2 Input a -90 dBm C-Band CW signal to the LNB.
Step 3 Measure the IF OUT of the C-LNB by a spectrum analyzer. Set the Spectrum
Analyzer to 100 kHz span. Calculate the LNB receive gained by
subtracting the input power from the output power.

Figure 3.7 Waveguide switch connection diagram
Step 6 Connecting the RCU to the modem

In a redundancy system configuration, the RCU receives L-band signals
from an indoor modem to be transmitted to the antenna. Therefore an IF
connection between the RCU and the modem must be made.
Connect the IF IN port of the RCU to an indoor modem using a standard IF

coaxial cable.
Step 7 Grounding the installation

This process provides a conductive path for static electrical charges to be
discharged safely from the equipment to the ground. This prevents a build
up of static charges that may cause the equipment to spark.
1. Locate an appropriate grounding spot. Most soil has sufficient

conductivity to allow for an efficient grounding connection. Soils
that are mainly rock may need to be treated with additional
minerals like rock salt, copper sulphate or magnesium sulphate to
increase their conductivity.
2. Drive a 3m lightning rod into the ground about 30cm from the
antenna pole. Bolt an aluminium wire, minimum 9mm in diameter,
to the ground pole. A tight clamp is used to make contact at the
top end. Avoid sharp bends when routing the wire as these may
impede current flow.
3. Using size 3/0 or 4/0 stranded wires, bond the Compact Medium
Power C-BUC and other components to the antenna frame and
lightning protection ground rod.
 Note: Grounding resistance of the antenna should be no more than
10Ω.
WARNING: Please ensure that the wire is tightly connected between

the rod and the equipment to prevent sparks.
IM02960153 Rev. F 43
Step 8 Switch on the unit
WARNING: Please ensure that the DC power source is off from the
modem before connecting the IFL cable to BUC.
FOR STAND ALONE SYSTEMS

Connect the DC power source to the BUC using modem or external
multiplexer. Ensure that all connections have been completed before
turning on the power supply.
The BUC will automatically power on when an appropriate DC current is

fed into the unit. The LED indicator should light on, indicating that the
device is turned on. The following table explains the LED colors.
LED Color Description

Green BUC is operating normally
Red BUC has an alarm condition
Amber BUC is offline or power is low
No Light This can mean either:
1) BUC is not receiving power
2) LED failure
FOR REDUNDANCY SYSTEMS

Turn on the AC power sources connected to the RCU. All devices (RCU,
BUC and switch) should power on and the respective LED indicators should
be lighted.
Step 9 Sealing the cables

To complete the physical installation, all connectors and important joints
in the system must be sealed. Note that the sealing must begin from the
chassis of the ODUs up to the heatshrink of the cable.
All unused connections must be sealed to prevent water ingress.

Waveguide joints must be equipped with an appropriate gasket. Please
ensure that all connectors are hand tightened before sealing.

browser.
The new generation of devices from Agilis provides the capability to

monitor and control the device through a ubiquitous web browser
available on any PC. This simple interface offers a very user-friendly
mechanism to maintain and configure a device for any system
configuration and settings.
At the heart of the device is an embedded http web server. It is a

software component that implements the HTTP protocol and allows any
web browser to access information from the device. This architecture
provides the following benefits:
- It provides a thin-client interface for a traditional application and any

application running the http protocol.
- It provides support for http protocol for the distribution and acquisition
of information to be displayed in the regular interface — possibly a web
service, and possibly using XML as the data format.
- HTTP is a well studied cross-platform protocol and there are mature

implementations freely available. It is seldom blocked by firewalls and
intranet routers.
- HTTP clients (e.g. web browsers) are readily available with all modern
computers.

Setting”.
MODIFYING BUC NETWORK SETTINGS

“Network Configuration” allows you to configure the BUC network
information including the Device ID, IP and Gateway addresses and
Subnet Mask. You can also specify the IP address of the SNMP Manager
that communicates with this BUC and select the Serial Communication
Mode used to connect to the PC.
To modify any parameters, enter the desired value into the textboxes and
click the corresponding [Set] button.
IM02960153 Rev. F 71
WARNING: Setting a wrong IP in Network Configuration may cause the

Device to be not accessible.
 Note: To retrieve the Device IP Address information from an

inaccessible device, use a terminal emulator; such as HyperTerminal, to
view the current IP Address assigned to your Agilis device. Use the COM
port assigned to your Agilis device when establishing serial communication
between your PC and BUC through HyperTerminal.
Once the IP Address information is acquired through a terminal emulator,

use the HTTP WebUI to reset the desired IP Address of the BUC.
 Note: Ensure that the “Serial Communication Mode” is set to the

supported M&C option supported by your Agilis device.
MODIFYING THE BUC OPERATION PARAMETERS

“BUC Operation” allows you to configure the BUC operating parameters
such as Attenuation and RF Operation.
To modify any parameters, enter the desired value into the textboxes or
select from the drop down menu and click the corresponding [Set] button.
MODIFYING THE REDUNDANCY OPERATION PARAMETERS

“Redundancy Operation” allows you to configure redundancy parameters
such as RCU Mode and RCU Switch.
To modify any parameters, enter the desired value into the textboxes or
select from the drop down menu and click the corresponding [Set] button.
CHANGING THE PASSWORD

“Password Setting” allows you to change your current password.
To change password, click on the Change Password link and fill out the
required information.
72 IM02960153 Rev. F
4.3.5 Setting Up SNMP Parameters

“SNMP Configuration” lets you specify how the BUC communicates with
the SNMP Manager. If you have yet to login to the HTTP interface, you will
be prompted to do so when clicking the “SNMP Configuration” menu
option. The factory default username and password is “admin”, “admin”
respectively.
 Note: Both the “Device Configuration” and “SNMP Configuration”

IM02960153 Rev. F 73
4.4 Monitor & Control via SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a framework for
the definition of management information and the exchange of that
information. A SNMP manager is a software module that manages part or
all of the system configurations while an agent is a software module in the
unit that is being managed. Transfer of information can be initiated by
both the manager (via polling) and the agent (via SNMP Trap).
By default, the manager initiates requests and receives responses via port
161. The agent sends SNMP Trap messages via port 162.
A database describing the unit’s application parameters is stored in the

SNMP agent. This SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) database is
used to interpret the signals requested and received between the manager
and agent. The database includes both a standard set of values common to
hardware nodes on a network and a private set of values that is unique to
the specific unit.
Object Identifiers (OID) are a series of numbers that uniquely identify

variable to an SNMP agent. OIDs are arranged in a hierarchical tree
structure.
The figure below shows the categorization of BUC parameters that are
used in defining the MIBs for SNMP enabled Agilis products. These
categories help define various device parameters very distinctly and help
for easy access and navigation when using any manager.
 Note: This figure shows the full set of categories and does not apply to
all Agilis products. These categories are closely used in defining the
product MIBS for all the SNMP enabled devices. The set of parameters that
are available in each Agilis product will differ.
Figure 4.16 SNMP MIB categories
74 IM02960153 Rev. F
4.4.2 Connecting the PC to BUC

If you have purchased the optional Ethernet M&C component, you can
monitor and control the BUC using an SNMP manager via an Ethernet
connection. Connect your PC LAN port to the BUC M&C port using either a
cross LAN cable or an Ethernet hub. A M&C to ETH RJ45 cable (P/N:
2502041313) or a DB9 to RJ45 (P/N: 2502041166) converter may be
provided by Agilis for this connection. An optional Y Cable is also available
for the 40W – 60W product units.
Figure 4.17 Connecting via the RJ45
 Note: The Y Cable is only suitable for 40W – 60W product units. For
20W units, Y cable is not applicable.
4.4.3 Connecting to the SNMP Interface

Once your BUC is physically connected to the PC, follow the procedure
below to connect the SNMP agent module to a SNMP manager in your PC.
Step 1 Activate your SNMP manager. Agilis products will work with most standard
SNMP managers available in the market.
 Note: For the purpose of this manual, all screenshots in this section
are made using the SNMP Manager from iReasoning. You can download or
purchase any standard third party SNMP Manager software and install it
into your PC.
Step 2 In the SNMP manager, enter the BUC’s access IP address. The following
show the default configuration:
Agent IP: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
SNMP Manager: 192.168.1.10
IM02960153 Rev. F 75
Step 3 Insert the CD included in your package into your PC’s disc drive and load
the MIB definition file (“AGILIS-PROD-XXX-MIB.mib”) into your SNMP
manager.
You can also download the MIB definition file from our website at
www.agilissatcom.com.
Once the file has been loaded, a tree structure should be displayed in your
manager as shown below.
Figure 4.18 Example MIB tree
76 IM02960153 Rev. F
4.4.4 Managing the BUC via an SNMP Manager
NAVIGATING THE MIB TREE
Figure 4.19 MIB tree
Each item in the tree is called a node. A parent or root node can be
expanded into branches. You can view each branch by clicking the +/-
icons in the tree. Each branch eventually terminates at leaf nodes.
To search for a specific node within a branch, right-click on the parent

node of that branch and select “Search” and type the name of the node to
search for.
You can expand or collapse the entire tree or branch by right-clicking on

the parent node and selecting the “Expand subtree” or “Collapse subtree”
option.
IM02960153 Rev. F 77
UNDERSTANDING SNMP OPERATIONS

The full set of SNMP commands that can be initiated from the SNMP
manager is explained in the table below.
To execute a command on any node in the tree, simply select the node
and right-click. From the menu that appears, select the command to
execute. Note that not all commands are available for every object in the
tree.
SNMP Command Explanation

GET Used to obtain a single piece of information from the
BUC such as the BUC ID etc.
GET NEXT Used to obtain two pieces of information from the
selected object and the next object.
GET BULK Used to obtain multiple pieces of information from
the BUC at once.
GET SUBTREE Used to poll for information corresponding to all
objects within the subtree.
SET Used to configure a specific parameter in the BUC.
Note that this command will only be available for
configurable parameters.
WALK Used to poll for all data from the objects within the
tree.
TABLE VIEW Used to poll for and view data table of an object.
Note that this is only available if the selected object
stores tabulated data.
USING THE MIB BROWSER

1. Open the MIB Browser. In this example, we use iReasoning MIB Browser
to configure SNMP. Click File and select Load MIBs.
78 IM02960153 Rev. F
2. Once done, locate the MIB file in your system.
3. Once the MIB file is loaded, the SNMP MIB details will appear. Click on
the folders to view more information.
IM02960153 Rev. F 79
4. Execute a command on any node in the tree. Right click on the node
and select a command you want to execute. In this example, “Walk” is
selected.
5. SNMP values will be retrieved once a command is selected. Below is an

example once “Walk” is selected. Once “Walk” is selected, all nodes’
information in the tree will be retrieved.
The figure below shows an example of the parameters retrieved by the

“WALK” command.

Chapter 5 Maintenance & Troubleshooting
This chapter details various system maintenance operations to help ensure

that your system works under optimal conditions.
WARNING: Disconnect all power sources before performing any

system maintenance and repair.
5.1 Preventive Maintenance

This section explains the various maintenance checks that should be
routinely carried out to ensure that the system is working correctly and in
optimal condition.
Ideally, you should perform a complete maintenance on the system at

least twice a year and record all updates and changes made to each ODU
“SETUP RECORD”. Notify all users that may be affected of a system down
time of roughly two hours prior to maintenance.
WARNING: Disconnect and re-connect cables during maintenance

properly to avoid causing any damage to the cables that may result in
intermittent problems in the future.
Connect the output interface of the equipment to a proper load.
5.1.1 Fans Maintenance

The C-BUC is equipped with fans at the bottom of the unit. It is essential
to ensure that airflow through these fans is not blocked to allow the BUC
to operate at the optimal temperature. Hence, we recommend cleaning
the fans at least once a year (or more depending on environmental
conditions). The cleaning procedure is detailed below:
Step 1 Turn off power supply to the BUC.
Step 2 Using compressed air, blow through the fan assembly to remove any dirt
accumulation
Step 3 Turn on the power supply to the BUC.
IM02960153 Rev. F 83
5.1.2 Gains Testing

The test procedure is as follows:
Step 1 Look at the demodulator status (DEMODULATOR LOCK indicator on the

modem) and check that is “LOCKED” to the receive signal.
Step 2 Check that the transmit and receive configurations on both the modem
and the C-BUC complies with the SETUP RECORD. If there are any
discrepancies, contact the personnel responsible for the previous record
for clarifications before proceeding.
Step 3 Turn on the pure carrier of the modem and measure the power level using
a spectrum analyzer.
Step 4 If your modem is connected to an AC power supply, measure the indoor AC

power supply to the modem to check that the voltages are within the
tolerance limits. You are recommended to use an Automatic Voltage
Regulator if your power source falls outside of these limitations.
 Note: The limit range will differ according to your modem’s AC voltage
requirements. Please use the table as a guideline only.
Table 5-1 AC power tolerance

Tolerance X VAC 50 Hz, where X is the AC requirement of the
device
Live  Neutral X VAC ± 15%
Live  Earth X VAC ± 15%
Neutral  Earth < 5 VAC
Step 5 Check that all IFL and RF cables are labelled.
Step 6 Ensure that all cables are in good working condition by performing the
following procedure:
1. Remove cables at both ends of the connection before taking
measurements.
2. Using a mega ohm meter, measure both ends of the cables.
Step 7 Again using a mega ohm meter, measure the ground resistance of the
antenna. This value should not be greater than 10Ω
84 IM02960153 Rev. F
Step 8 Reconnect the transmit cable to the modem and measure the power level
of the pure carrier transmitted into the C-BUC’s input port. Calculate the
IFL loss and check that it is similar to the value recorded in the SETUP
RECORD.
WARNING: Turn off the C-BUC and connect a power attenuator (30dB,
>30W) to the RF OUT port of the BUC before step 8 below.
Step 9 Turn on the BUC and connect the IF IN cable. Record the RF OUT power
level and calculate the uplink gain. Check that the resultant gain complies
with both the SETUP RECORD and the gain setting on the BUC.
Step 10 Measure the power level and C/N0 of the receive carrier under
consideration at the BUC’s RF OUT port. Check the readings against the
SETUP RECORD. If there is a significant variation in the two, contact the
transmit site for confirmation.
Step 11 Measure the level at the modem’s IF input to determine the Rx IFL loss.
Match this value against the SETUP RECORD.
5.1.3 Completing the Maintenance

Completing each maintenance service requires the following actions:
 Check the sealing on existing connections and re-seal if necessary.

 Tighten and re-seal all connections and important joints that were
disconnected for maintenance.
 Check and ensure that all waveguide joints are properly equipped
with a gasket and sealed.
 Cover all unused connectors with a cap and seal.
 Update the SETUP RECORD.
