5.4. Embedded GPS Characteristics SkyHopper PRO has a built-in GPS receiver. In a PTP network configuration it is used for location information only (which can be operated by the customer via the SkyHopper API). In a Multi-Unit network, it is used for synchronization and can also be used by the customer for location purposes.
7.1. PTP Link Step-by-Step Configuration In order to build a PTP link, two SkyHopper PRO units are required. One unit acts as a remote unit, while the other as a controller unit. Connect antennas to RF1 and RF2 connectors, and power up the unit.
Set the profi le as required (RF bandwidth, bitrate and ratio) and click on the “Apply” button as shown on Figure 7. The unit will reboot. Repeat stages 1-4 with the 2nd unit. Figure 7: Web GUI “Advanced confi guration” screen ► NOTE – A PTP setup requires 2 SkyHopper PRO units confi gured with same frequency and profi le.
D) Fast Blink – Tx & Rx Air Traffic active Should there be an error in your SkyHopper PRO unit, both the ACTV and DATA LEDs will be simultaneously slow blinking. Link status, CINR, RSSI, throughput and unit log information is available in the Web GUI, which can be found online at www.
