3.5 Main Screen

Congratulations, you have logged into the receiver and made it to the main screen.
Your S300 DVB receiver supports both DVB-S and DVB-S2 modes of operation. From a receiver
configuration perspective, there are only a few differences between DVB-S mode and DVB-S2 mode. The
examples below were taken in DVB-S mode. Where applicable, the DVB-S2 specific configuration or status
items are highlighted below.
Figure 5 shows a typical Main Screen setting when the S300 is operating in DVB-S2 mode. The screen
provides configuration tabs as well as status information on the S300 operation. At a glance, we can
determine a great deal about the status of the S300 operation, including:

The console is receiving status from the S300 (status LED),

The receiver is locked (Signal LED) to a 13.086 Msps signal with a C/N of 31.5 dB.

The LNB DC voltage is turned on (LNB LED),

The S300 is receiving and processing valid DVB data (Data LED)

The input signal strength is good at -36 dBm

The S300 is demodulating a DVB-S2 signal with a modulation of 8SK and a coding rate of 3/5

At the present, the received signal quality is good with a BER of 0.0E0.

The receiver has received no uncorrectable packets. If this counter is moving, it is an indication that
the satellite link may not be good enough to maintain a solid lock.
