Cisco Cisco Catalyst 6000 Multilayer Switch Feature Card MSFC2 Installation Guide

If an installation technician has already connected the NM-1VSAT-GILAT to the ODU, then do not 
perform this task. Instead, proceed directly to the 

Install the NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module in the router chassis. 

Make sure that your ODU is installed and connected to RF cables that lead to the area near the 
NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module. Contact your satellite service provider for ODU and cable 
installation information.

To connect the NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module to the ODU, follow these steps:

Disconnect the power supply from the ODU PWR connector on the NM-1VSAT-GILAT 
network module.

Make sure that the external power supply is disconnected from the NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module 
before connecting cables to the RF-IN or RF-OUT connectors. If the external power supply is connected 
to the ODU PWR connector while you connect or disconnect cables to the RF-IN or RF-OUT 
connectors, you might short-circuit the NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module F connectors. This may 
cause the network module to reset itself or lose data. 

Take the indoor end of the cable that leads to the LNB, and connect it to the RF-IN connector on the 
NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module. (See 

.)

Take the indoor end of the cable that leads to the SSPA, and connect it to the RF-OUT connector on the 
NM-1VSAT-GILAT network module. (See 

.)
