SATCUBE PROPRIETARY
Integrated Modem
Satcube terminals come with integrated modems. It is either a UHP Networks modem, UHP-210, or
an iDirect modem, IQ200. The use of the modems in the Satcube terminal is described in this section
and a brief description on modem configuration. For extensive setup instructions or user manuals the
reader is referred to respective modem manufacturer’s own documentation.
In order to maintain and enable communication from the modem to the embedded system the
modem should always have IP address 192.168.222.222/29 configured as that is essential to enable
communication with the embedded system. This is also the default IP configuration of a modem in a
Satcube terminal.
UHP-210
In the UHP case the modem has 192.168.222.222 as default address. By default, the password is
disabled. Setting up a UHP modem can be split up into two different categories. Profiles and general
settings.
In the profiles you set the transmission details. Which includes mode of operation, SCPC or TDMA
mode. ACM and TLC are also both set in this menu. In your chosen profile you set the profile to be
valid to allow using it and enable autorun on the different profiles you want active at the same time.
The Rx and Tx frequencies, in Ku-band, with associated symbol rate and roll off is configured into the
profiles.
Listed below are some of the general settings that are essential for the modem to have to assure
proper functionality in the Satcube terminal.
• Local Oscillator values
o These are set in the “Site setup” page that can be accessed in the left-hand menu.
The Rx1 and Transmit values should correspond to LNB and BUC LO values set in the
satellite profile in the terminal GUI.
• Terminal Location
o This is usually set in the modem by the terminal automatically from the terminal GPS
location. When a manual position is preferable this setting is found in “Site setup”.
• SNMP
o The modem must allow terminal access to ensure full functionality of the terminal.
SNMP setting is found under “Advanced” and “IP protocols”. The access IP should be
set to the terminal IP, 192.168.222.219.
• IP routing
o In order to route the traffic properly between the remote terminal and the HUB the
IP routing must be set correctly. This information should be supplied by the service
provider. IP routing is found in “Advanced” and under “IP routing”.
o In this menu you also set the modem IP. If the modem ever loses the
192.168.222.222/29 address this IP address should be added by clicking “Add IP
address”.
o The IP routing table should contain a Tx map indicating what traffic should be sent to
what SVLAN.
o The table should also contain a SVLAN RX. Which should correspond to the Tx map
on the HUB side.
