You need a router that supports the NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module. For a list of supported
platforms, see the Cisco IP VSAT Satellite WAN Network Module (NM-1VSAT-GILAT) Data Sheet.
The NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module requires an associated central hub, which monitors and
controls the satellite network. Therefore, you must take one of the following actions:
– Subscribe to service from a Gilat SkyEdge satellite service provider.
– Purchase your own Gilat SkyEdge hub equipment.
The NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module requires a "Sat Kit" provided by a Gilat SkyEdge satellite
service provider. The Sat Kit includes the dish antenna equipment and an external power supply.
Cisco IOS feature module.
The NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module is supported only in Gilat SkyEdge–compatible satellite
communications networks. For more information, go to http://www.gilat.com/.
One-way satellite connectivity is currently not supported.
The NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module is designed for Ku-band and C-band satellite networks
using the Gilat SkyEdge Frequency and Time Division Multiple Access (FTDMA) technology.
The NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module is not compatible with these items:
Other frequency bands, such as Ka-band
–
Other satellite TDMA systems, including Digital Video Broadcasting–Return Channel by
–
Satellite (DVB-RCS), and Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS)
Other media access methods, such as Single Channel Per Carrier (SCPC)
–
The following hardware tasks are not described in this document and must be performed by a
Gilat SkyEdge–certified installer:
Installing and aligning the dish antenna
–
Running cables from the ODU to the IDU area
–
Connecting two NM-1VSAT-GILAT network modules to one ODU for Hot Standby Router
–
Protocol (HSRP) redundancy
