• The Downstream Template has been loaded on the Satellite Router or the downstream
configuration has been manually configured using Web iSite.
• The antenna has been pointed and peaked

broadcast, the Network Operator is able to transmit the options file to the Satellite Router
over-the-air using a remote-side UDP push.
To Push the Options File:
1. Confirm that the Tx output of the Satellite Router is not connected to the voltmeter or
the BUC.
2. Confirm that the Satellite Router was restarted after antenna peaking.
3. Confirm that the Satellite Router is locked to the downstream carrier.

12.3 Verify the Download

Multicast and UDP push are one-way processes. The NMS sends data but does not receive
confirmation. In most cases the Satellite Router receives and loads the new data without
issue. However it is important to verify that the download was received and installed
correctly. The ability to log in with the new admin password is an indication that the options
file was received and loaded correctly.
