    The DM240XR modulator requires no periodic field maintenance procedures. Should a unit be suspected of a defect in field operations after all interface signals are verified, the correct procedure is to replace the unit with another known working DM240XR. If this does not cure the problem, wiring or power should be suspect.

    Amplitude Equalization over the satellite by pre-distorting the Uplink Carrier, eliminating the need for external Group Delay/Amplitude Equalizers. AutoEQ™ will automatically generate the proprietary profile for the DM240XR to pre-distort the modulator, resulting in Amplitude and Group Delay equalization over the Satellite Link.
  • Page 183 AutoEQ™ supports SCPC equalization of Group Delay and Amplitude over the satellite system. When installed into the PIIC slot of the DM240XR (with Firmware Revision FO5377-J or higher), the AutoEQ™ Calibration menu will be displayed allowing for selection and monitoring of the AutoEQ™...
