Cold Start: X1 Outdoor
An Evolution X1 Outdoor Satellite Router is designed to operate in ambient temperatures as
o
low as -40
C. However, if the Satellite Router is without power long enough for the internal
temperature to fall below -25
The warm-up period for the X1 Outdoor Satellite Router depends on the internal modem
temperature measured at the time power is restored. The warm-up periods are defined in
Table
4.
During the warm-up period, a Web iSite connection to the Evolution X1 Outdoor Satellite
Router can be established using a Web browser. Although the X1 Outdoor has only one physical
LED indicating power, four LED-like indicators on the X1 Web iSite pages show the current
state of the Satellite Router. During warm up, the LEDs display the following colors:
•
Receive: Yellow
•
Network: Yellow
•
Transmit: Yellow

Using Web iSite, observe the Evolution X1 Dashboard
up period. On the Dashboard:
•
The Temperature field increases as the modem warms up.
•
The Satellite Rx field shows Waiting for Demod Lock.
Once warm-up is complete, the Web iSite status indicators show the same status as the
Evolution X1 Indoor Satellite Router LEDs. See
