See the "Installing Cisco Network Modules in Cisco Access Routers" chapter. 1. ODU = outdoor unit. 2. VSAT = very small aperture terminal. 3. DVB = Digital Video Broadcasting. 4. The receive direction at the remote VSAT is called the outbound direction from the hub. See the "Outbound and Inbound Directions in a Satellite Communications Network" section on page 33-7. 5. LNB = low noise block converter. 6. RF = radio frequency. 7. SSPA = solid state block converter and power amplifier. 8. The transmit direction at the remote VSAT is called the inbound direction to the hub. See the "Outbound and Inbound Directions in a Satellite Communications Network" section on page 33-7. How to Install, Connect, or Replace the NM-1VSAT-GILAT Network Module This section contains the following procedures, each of which may or may not be required, depending on which tasks your satellite service provider performs for you: • Installing the NM-1VSAT-GILAT Network Module in the Router Chassis, page 33-10 • Connecting the NM-1VSAT-GILAT Network Module to the ODU, page 33-10 • Connecting the NM-1VSAT-GILAT Network Module to the External Power Supply, page 33-12 • Replacing the NM-1VSAT-GILAT Network Module in the Router Chassis, page 33-14 Installing the NM-1VSAT-GILAT Network Module in the Router Chassis To install the NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module in the router chassis, see the "Installing Cisco Network Modules in Cisco Access Routers" chapter of the Cisco Network Modules Hardware Installation Guide. Connecting the NM-1VSAT-GILAT Network Module to the ODU This section describes how to connect the NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module to the ODU. Shielded RG-6, RG-11, or both types of RF cables are used to connect the NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module to the ODU. Typically, a satellite service provider installation technician installs the ODU, connects RG-11 cables to the dish antenna, and runs the RG-11 cables to the area near the router. The technician also typically terminates the RG-11 cables and adds short RG-6 cables, which are then connected to the NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module in the router. 33-10 Cisco Network Modules Hardware Installation Guide OL-2485-20
