Appendix C: Orbit Technologies OrSat AL-7200 Controller
For the Orbit Technologies Group Orsat AL-7100 series controller, enter "al-7x" in the ACU
Type field. The ACU Configuration field consists of the interface type, IP address, and port
number. At this time, the port type is "tcp" and the default port is 5002. For example, using the
ACU Configuration value of "
" (no quotes) configures ROSS to
tcp 192.168.150.45 5002
communicate with the Orbit SBC using a TCP connection to port 5002 (decimal) on an SBC at
IP address 192.168.150.45.
Note that the Orbit documentation uses that term "SBC" (single board computer) instead of ACU.
The term "CCU" (central control unit) refers to the Orbit local console interface for the SBC.
Optionally, after the TCP connection port number a message timeout value can be set. The
timeout values are in milliseconds, e.g. 5000, 5 seconds. The internal default timeout is 2
seconds and if determined necessary because of bad (unresolved) LAN communications, this
additional wait time may help. If problems like this persist, correct hardware issues.
Service Area Parameters
When ROSS is used with the Orbit AL-71xx antenna system, the Service Area parameters
Polarization, Frequency, and Bandwidth are interpreted as the receiver settings.
The Orbit controller also supports two "Optional Settings" parameters. The values "lnbv13" and
"lnbv17" specify two voltage levels (13V & 17V respectively) that are sent to LNB during a
satellite handoff. This parameter is typically used for dual-band LNB.
