Configuring Boot
Parameters
Use Configure Boot Parameters to configure the Gateway for
outroute reception and downloading of software. For initial
installation, most parameters must be entered, except for VSAT
Return Path, which is always “Inroute.”
Thus, you will need your installer ID, and you will need all
necessary information to enter data for the fields marked with an
asterisk in Figure 80. One asterisk means the installer must
provide or obtain the information; two asterisks means the
information is global for all installations. Refer to Appendix A
for information on how to determine how to convert
degrees/decimal values to degree/minutes values.
1. Enter
a at the Main Menu prompt. Each parameter shown in
Figure 80 appears, one at a time, one line at a time.
For example, the first parameter to appear after you enter
a is
the VSAT Return Path Parameter, as shown in Figure 79.
.
All the parameters are shown in the
Display Current
Configuration
screen in Figure 80. The screen is displayed by
entering
b at the Main Menu prompt.
Note: Two good Web sites for determining your latitude and
longitude include: http://www.zipinfo.com/search/zipcode.htm
and http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/gazetteer
Note: If you will be using the Outdoor Pointing Interface (OPI)
device, remember that the LNB 22KHz Switch parameter must be
set to "OFF" to enable the device. You may leave the parameter at
OFF for the rest of the installation. The instructions below
describe how to set parameters.
