Prerequisites for the NM-1VSAT-GILAT Network Module Chapter 33 Connecting Cisco IP VSAT Satellite WAN Network Modules Prerequisites for the NM-1VSAT-GILAT Network Module • You need a router that supports the NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module. For a list of supported platforms, see the Cisco IP VSAT Satellite WAN Network Module (NM-1VSAT-GILAT) Data Sheet. • The NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module requires an associated central hub, which monitors and controls the satellite network. Therefore, you must take one of the following actions: - Subscribe to service from a Gilat SkyEdge satellite service provider. - Purchase your own Gilat SkyEdge hub equipment. • The NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module requires a "Sat Kit" provided by a Gilat SkyEdge satellite service provider. The Sat Kit includes the dish antenna equipment and an external power supply. Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030 Note For software-related prerequisites, see the Cisco IP VSAT Satellite WAN Network Module (NM-1VSAT-GILAT) Cisco IOS feature module. Restrictions for the NM-1VSAT-GILAT Network Module • The NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module is supported only in Gilat SkyEdge-compatible satellite communications networks. For more information, go to http://www.gilat.com/. • One-way satellite connectivity is currently not supported. • The NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module is designed for Ku-band and C-band satellite networks using the Gilat SkyEdge Frequency and Time Division Multiple Access (FTDMA) technology. The NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module is not compatible with these items: - Other frequency bands, such as Ka-band - Other satellite TDMA systems, including Digital Video Broadcasting-Return Channel by Satellite (DVB-RCS), and Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) - Other media access methods, such as Single Channel Per Carrier (SCPC) • The following hardware tasks are not described in this document and must be performed by a Gilat SkyEdge-certified installer: - Installing and aligning the dish antenna - Running cables from the ODU to the IDU area - Connecting two NM-1VSAT-GILAT network modules to one ODU for Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) redundancy 33-2 Cisco Network Modules Hardware Installation Guide OL-2485-20
