<MODE>MENU
The operator should confirm that the antenna has been placed on the correct satellite. For example,
confirmation could be achieved by recognizing if the modem has generated a signal lock.
STOW
By selecting <2> from MENU, the operator may initiate a STOW operation as described in 3.2.2.2. As
with the LOCATE operation, the user will be asked to confirm that antenna movement is safe to initiate.
MANUAL
By selecting <MODE> from the MENU, the RC4000 may be placed in MANUAL mode.

<0-9>JOG ANTENNA <MODE>MENU
In VSAT mode the manual jog speed will be initialized to SLOW to allow fine tuning of the azimuth,
elevation and polarization axes if required.
EXITING VSAT MODE
To bring the RC4000 out of VSAT mode, expert access permission must be restored to INSTALL or
SUPER USER. Then the initial mode must be set to something other than VSAT in the SYSTEM
DEFINITION configuration screen.
RED/GREEN BUTTON OPERATION
A simplified user interface may be mechanized via two lighted buttons, colored red and green. After
properly programming the ACU, the two buttons allow the user to initiate LOCATE and STOW operations
without using the RC4000 front panel or a remote control interface. (Appendix PBO includes additional
information regarding the RED/GREEN Button opteration.)
IMPLEMENTATION
In order for this simplified interface to be active, the RC4000 must be programmed and placed in VSAT
mode as defined in
section 3.2.2.10
VSAT mode limits the RC4000 functions that the operator may initiate to LOCATE and STOW. To
perform other functions or to change operating parameters, expert access permission must be
established and the RC4000 must be taken out of VSAT mode.
In VSAT mode the following MENU screen would appear after power up.
1-LOCATE SATELLITE
2-STOW ANTENNA
<1-2>SELECT <MODE>MANUAL
When the RC4000 is in MENU mode, the Red/Green button interface scheme allows the user to initiate a
LOCATE by pressing the green button and to initiate a STOW by pressing the red button. In order for
the user to not have to see the front panel, the lights on the two buttons are lit to indicate the status of the
ACU. The following table defines the indications.
