Tuner Configuration

The CMR-5995 can be configured to have a backup (secondary) configuration. The backup tuner
configuration allows the user to configure a backup configuration in the event the main carrier is
taken down. The CMR-5995 will only attempt to use the backup configuration in the event the
primary carrier is not available, and if a switch time of greater than 0 (zero) is set. If the unit is
unable to lock to the backup tuner settings, the unit will continue to switch between backup and
primary frequencies based on the switch time until lock is achieved.
4.2.14.1 Primary and Backup Tuner Configurations
Note the primary and backup can be completely different configurations, e.g.: the primary may be
a DVB-S2 service, but the backup may be a DVB-S service, or vice versa. Any valid
configurations supported by the CMR-5995 can be setup as primary and backup configurations.
LNB Frequency

located at the antenna. For Ku-Band operation, the LO is typically 10,750 MHz for Ku-Band
operation North America and other common frequencies are 9,750 MHz and 10,600 MHz. For
C-Band operation, 5,150 MHz is a common LO frequency. Please consult your LNB
