Information to Add a QPSK Demodulator
Before you add a QPSK demodulator to a QPSK modulator, you need the following information:
Name of the modulator physically connected to this demodulator
Port number where this demodulator is physically connected to the modulator
Name of the node set you want to associate with this demodulator
Important: We recommend that you assign each demodulator to a unique node set.
RF input frequency assigned to this demodulator
Important: We recommend the following:
That you set this value to equal the service channel frequency of the associated modulator. 
That you set all demodulators associated with the same modulator to the same frequency.
Note: All of this information should be recorded on your network map. However, if it is not, contact your
system administrator to obtain the information.
Process Overview
After you have added a QPSK modulator to the DNCS database, add all QPSK demodulators that are connected
to that modulator. To add a QPSK demodulator to a QPSK modulator, follow this process.

where a group of reverse signals generated from DHCTs are combined and fed into a single QPSK
demodulator.
 to a QPSK modulator by assigning each demodulator to the port number on
the modulator that matches the actual physical connections between the modulator and demodulator.
Important: We recommend that you set all demodulators associated with the same modulator to the
same frequency.
