106 iDirect Satellite Router Installation and Commissioning GuideiDX Release 3.3Remote Installer DutiesAfter acquisition, record the baseline readings as outlined below. The data serves as areference in case the antenna is moved or some other service issue arises.Baseline readings are checked periodically by the Network Operator to ensure that the serviceis not degrading. Many events such as bad weather, sand or dust storms, solar flares,movement of the antenna, or aging can cause the levels to change. For transient events,monitor the levels to confirm return to the baseline values.Follow the procedure in “Recording Remote Status Using a Console Connection” to record thebaseline readings for all model types except for Evolution X1, X7, and e150 Satellite Routers.For those models, follow the procedure in “Recording Remote Status Using Web iSite” onpage 107 on page 107.18.2.1 Recording Remote Status Using a Console ConnectionFollow the steps in this section if commissioning an Evolution X3, X5, e8350, or e8xx SatelliteRouter.To Display Remote Status Messages:1. Telnet to the Satellite Router or open a terminal session to the Satellite Router. See“Connecting to the Console Port” on page 17 for details, including default passwords.2. Log in as root and telnet localhost to the admin account.3. At the prompt, enter the rmtstat command. The command toggles Status Messageprinting On or OFF. Confirm that the return message is “Printing Remote Statusmessages is ON”. See Figure 59.Figure 59. Remote Status Message4. Wait for Remote Status: to display. The message updates periodically. Record thefollowing data from the remote status message:a. SNR (Signal-to-Noise ratio of downstream carrier)b. TxPower (IF output power in dBm)c. RxSignalPower (Total composite input power seen by the receiver)d. Temp (Operating temperature in degrees Celsius)5. Report the readings to the Network Operator, and save locally for future reference
