To avoid damaging the NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module, disconnect the power supply from the
ODU PWR connector on the NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module before you attempt any of the
following actions:
Connecting a cable to the RF-IN or RF-OUT connector
–
Disconnecting a cable from the RF-IN or RF-OUT connector
–
Inserting the NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module into the router chassis
–
Removing the NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module from the router chassis
–
After completing the hardware installation, moving the router with the installed NM-1VSAT-GILAT
network module may require longer radio frequency (RF) cables. Depending on the ODU type and
the additional length required for the cables, you may need a technician to install line amplifiers.
Contact your satellite service provider if you plan to extend your cables by more than 35 feet (11 m).
