Note:
The J1 Satellite Antenna Controller includes an SD Card Slot on the Front Panel.
For initial configuration setup it is recommended that a modified Config.txt file is placed
on a SD Card (in "loadonce" folder) with the desired Local IP Address. This will allow
the J1 to boot up properly on the Network with making hardware modifications. See
Using the SD Card for additional information.
Selecting the Export Configuration command allows the user the ability to send a
config.txt file to the PC. This file can be edited and re-imported by the user.
Note:
The Configuration File is a simple text (.txt) document which contains every
parameter that is also modifiable thru the HTML Configuration Functions Page.
Whenever possible it is better to make changes to the HTML Configuration Functions
Page. Always export the latest configurations for back up.
Note:
You can not export the Configuration File to the SD Card in the J1 Controller, but
it is a good practice to remove the SD Card from the J1 Controller and place it in an SD
Card reader connected to the PC and save a copy of the Config File on the SD Card. Re-
place the SD Card back in the J1 Controller.
Sat Table Files
Sat Table Files are files which hold specific information about every satellite in this table.
This information includes satellite longitudes, transponder frequencies, polarization,
DVB symbol rates, FEC Codes, NID, and other miscellaneous data. The uniqueness of
this data allows the J1 to ID Satellites.
To import a Satellite Table File click on the Browse command to the right of the dialog
box. Select the location and file name of the Sat Table file (filename.csv) making sure it
has a .csv extension. Then click on the Import Sat Table File command.
Import Web Sat Table allows the user to directly import the latest Satellite Table File
from the MotoSAT Web Site. In Network Settings (Web Sat Table URL) is a default
web address of http://www.motosat.com/sattables/world.csv. This address can be
changed if future sites are available. For this import to work the user must be connected
to an active modem (Network) and locked onto the Satellite.
Export Default Sat Table allows the user access to the original Satellite Table that is
embedded in the firmware. Over time this Satellite Table will become less useful.
Export Current Sat Table allows the user access to the latest working Satellite Table in
the J1 Controller. This is the active Satellite Table being used during and Satellite
search. This would be the recommended Satellite Table to modify for importing.
Note:
You can not export the Sat Table File to the SD Card in the J1 Controller.
