Description of Indoor Unit

The IDU for the DST is one of several L-Band Satellite Modes produced by Comtech EF
Data. The modem provides the data interface and connects to the ODUs at L-Band
frequencies. In addition, the modem provides the M&C interface for the DST system, a
10 MHz reference, and power for both the BUC and the LNB. The DST employs a user-
friendly M&C interface that is accessible from either the front panel of the indoor unit
(IDU) or its remote port.
For additional modem information, refer to Installation and Operation Manual for the
modem being used.
