To enable FSK, on the top line use the ◄ ►arrow keys to select FSK, and then use the ▲▼
arrow keys to set control as On.
Press ENTER when done.
Once FSK is enabled, the modem attempts to communicate with the installed transceiver(s).
Once communications are established, the bottom line of the ODU: FSK-control screen updates
to show the attached – and therefore controllable via FSK – transceiver(s), as per the following
examples:
ODU Control:
ODU Type: CSAT (C/KST, 2CSATS)
ODU Control:
ODU Type: KST (C/KST, 2CSATS)
Use the ◄ ►arrow keys to navigate to the bottom line, and then use the ▲▼ arrow keys to
select (where appropriate), CSAT, 2CSATs, or KST.
Press ENTER when done.
When the Tx frequency is L-Band – Communication with a 'smart' BUC is achieved using a
low-speed, half-duplex FSK link over the Tx IF port, with a carrier frequency around 650 kHz.
With FSK communication disabled, the ODU: FSK-control screen appears as shown here:
