What's New In This Release; Multiple Outroutes; Inroute Management By Nmss; Inroute Cir With Min, Guaranteed And Max Bandwidth - Hughes HX System System Overview

What's new in this
release

Multiple Outroutes

Inroute Management by
Inroute CIR with Min,
Guaranteed and Max
Configurable Demodulation
System (CDS)
The Multiple Outroute (MORT) feature, in a mobile setting,
allows a very small aperture terminal (VSAT) to seamlessly
operate on multiple outroutes that are managed by a single
Network Management System. The VSAT can be commanded by
a third party component to switch outroutes when moving from
one satellite footprint to another.
The HX System Release 1.2.7 now provides for the full
management of DNCCs, Aurora CPs, and the Configurable
NMSS
Demodulation System (CDS) (next generation CP) through
Vision. Inroutes and Inroute Groups are configured through the
NMSS GUI or using the NMSS spreadsheet load facility. The
NMSS provides capacity validation checks when adding inroutes.
The NMSS further provides the operator the ability to view status
and statistics for the DNCC, Aurora CP and CDS. Control
commands (reboot, force reload, etc.) are also provided by the
NMSS. Capacity validation checks are performed when the
logical inroute resources are modified (including changes to
Downconverters, Inroute Groups, IQoS Plans, and Inroutes). Hub
views are now organized by outroute number instead of outroute
group.
CIR is the rate that has been committed to a particular remote.
Satellite routers are allocated bandwidth based on the following
parameters:
bandwidth
1. Minimum CIR Rate
2. Guaranteed CIR Rate
3. Maximum CIR Rate
At the very least, the network operating center (NOC) will try to
satisfy the minimum configured rate. In the event that additional
bandwidth over the minimum is available it is up to the NOC's
discretion to provide bandwidth for a particular remote. This
excess bandwidth is not guaranteed and when available will be
capped at the maximum rate.
This release is the first release of the next generation return
channel (inroute) Configurable Demodulation System (CDS).
Advantages of the CDS over its predecessor (IFSS-TC) include:
• Improved configuration flexibility
• Expands the number of inroute channels per demodulator
