Chapter 1 Product Overview
The C-band BUC can be operated with different modulation formats such
as BPSK, QPSK and FM. Due to stringent performance specifications, it is
suitable for the following applications:
IM02960153 Rev. F 1
Chapter 1 Product Overview
Cooling sub-system
The cooling system consists of heat sink and fans and uses forced-air
convection cooling. All RF modules are placed on a heat sink for
effective heat dissipation. High power devices are cooled by inbuilt
fans which operate on DC power generated internally by the power
supply unit.
Note: Please keep the side of the BUC at least 6” away from any
obstruction to allow air circulation through the fans.

Fault condition is determined by the alarm status of the BUC. If the status
signal (at Pin D of connectors M&C_A & M&C_B) of the BUC is lower than
1.4V, an alarm will be generated.
The RCU can operate in two redundancy modes, “Manual” and “Auto”.
Under “Manual” mode, users control the switching mechanism. The RCU
does not automatically generate a switch even when a BUC is faulty. This
mode allows users to repair faults or perform routine maintenance of any
BUC without disrupting signal transmission.
Note: This manual provides basic information on the RCU unit. Please
refer to the RCU manual for detailed explanations.

Chapter 3 Installation
Upon opening the box, carefully remove the items in the package and
check them against the packing list. If any of the items are damaged or
missing, please contact Agilis or your local Agilis representative before
proceeding.
We recommend that you keep the original packing materials until you
have completed the checks and confirmed that the unit is in working
order.
If you need to repack the product for shipping, please use the original
shipping container and packing materials whenever possible. Alternatively,
you may also use high quality commercial packing materials to repack the
unit. Please seal the container firmly and clearly mark “FRAGILE
Electronic Equipment” on the exterior.

Chapter 3 Installation
Before proceeding with the mounting process, please ensure that the
environmental conditions in the area where the BUC is to be mounted is
appropriate for its optimal operation. These include:

Note: The 20W Medium Power Compact C-BUC has an option to derive
its voltage supply through the centre conductor of input connector.
Note: Please note that you may interchange the wiring connection
between the live and neutral pins. Interchanging these two pins will still
power up the RCU but may affect the switching operation of the setup.
Note: For the RCU to perform switching via the waveguide switch for
redundancy, the unit must be connected to a working power source via
AC1.
38 IM02960153 Rev. F
Chapter 3 Installation
Confirm that the unit has not been damaged during shipment.
Following are the test procedures for the ODU system. There are
two tests that are recommended; namely, the uplink and downlink
tests.
Step 1 Connect the C-BUC as shown in the figure below and power up the system.
Step 2 Use the modem to input an L-Band pure carrier (by turning on the transmit
carrier and set the pure carrier feature to ON). Adjust the modem output
power so that the IF level input to C-BUC is -25 dBm.
IM02960153 Rev. F 39
Chapter 3 Installation
Step 3 Measure the RF OUT of the C-BUC using a spectrum analyzer at C-band.
1. Calculate the total transmit gain based on this formula: Output
power – Input power + Amount of attenuation.
2. Compare the result against the specifications (Appendix B Unit
Specifications & Outline). If there is no signal, check that the
channel setting is correct.
Example:
Transmit gain = RF OUT power - IF IN power + Attenuation =
8 - (-25) + 30 = 63 dB
Step 1 Connect a waveguide adapter to the LNB and connect the IF out of the LNB
to the spectrum analyzer via a T-Bias as shown figure below. Connect an
external 10 MHz reference signal to the T-Bias, LNB supply voltage and
power up the T-Bias DC supply.
Step 3 Measure the IF OUT of the C-LNB by a spectrum analyzer. Set the Spectrum
Analyzer to 100 kHz span. Calculate the LNB receive gained by
subtracting the input power from the output power.

The RCU can operate with one or both AC interfaces connected. Note,
however, that AC1 supplies power to the waveguide switches. Hence, the
unit is only able to perform switching if AC1 is connected to a working
power source.

By default, the manager initiates requests and receives responses via port
161. The agent sends SNMP Trap messages via port 162.
The figure below shows the categorization of BUC parameters that are
used in defining the MIBs for SNMP enabled Agilis products. These
categories help define various device parameters very distinctly and help
for easy access and navigation when using any manager.
Note: This figure shows the full set of categories and does not apply to
all Agilis products. These categories are closely used in defining the
product MIBS for all the SNMP enabled devices. The set of parameters that
are available in each Agilis product will differ.

Step 1 Activate your SNMP manager. Agilis products will work with most standard
SNMP managers available in the market.
Note: For the purpose of this manual, all screenshots in this section
are made using the SNMP Manager from iReasoning. You can download or
purchase any standard third party SNMP Manager software and install it
into your PC.
Step 2 In the SNMP manager, enter the BUC’s access IP address. The following
show the default configuration:

Step 3 Insert the CD included in your package into your PC’s disc drive and load
the MIB definition file (“AGILIS-PROD-XXX-MIB.mib”) into your SNMP
manager.
You can also download the MIB definition file from our website at
www.agilissatcom.com.
Once the file has been loaded, a tree structure should be displayed in your
manager as shown below.

Each item in the tree is called a node. A parent or root node can be
expanded into branches. You can view each branch by clicking the +/-

Step 2 Check that the transmit and receive configurations on both the modem
and the C-BUC complies with the SETUP RECORD. If there are any
discrepancies, contact the personnel responsible for the previous record
for clarifications before proceeding.
Step 3 Turn on the pure carrier of the modem and measure the power level using
a spectrum analyzer.
Step 6 Ensure that all cables are in good working condition by performing the
following procedure:
1. Remove cables at both ends of the connection before taking
measurements.
2. Using a mega ohm meter, measure both ends of the cables.
Step 7 Again using a mega ohm meter, measure the ground resistance of the
antenna. This value should not be greater than 10Ω
86 IM02960153 Rev. F
Chapter 5 Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Step 8 Reconnect the transmit cable to the modem and measure the power level
of the pure carrier transmitted into the C-BUC’s input port. Calculate the
IFL loss and check that it is similar to the value recorded in the SETUP
RECORD.
WARNING: Turn off the C-BUC and connect a power attenuator (30dB,
>30W) to the RF OUT port of the BUC before step 8 below.
Step 9 Turn on the BUC and connect the IF IN cable. Record the RF OUT power
level and calculate the uplink gain. Check that the resultant gain complies
with both the SETUP RECORD and the gain setting on the BUC.
Step 10 Measure the power level and C/N0 of the receive carrier under
consideration at the BUC’s RF OUT port. Check the readings against the
SETUP RECORD. If there is a significant variation in the two, contact the
transmit site for confirmation.
Step 11 Measure the level at the modem’s IF input to determine the Rx IFL loss.
Match this value against the SETUP RECORD.
