Section 1. Using This Guide
This guide describes how to install and use a WavePhore Intelligent Data Receiver™
V1000 (IDR V1000). The IDR V1000s comprise a family of satellite receivers that
receive, demodulate, and process data streams over high-speed carriers. These data
streams supply real-time news, market information, and other subscription services to
businesses.
The IDR V1000 family includes four models. The models are virtually identical in
appearance and basic operation, but they each provide a unique set of data handling or
connectivity options:
•The basic model (1235) provides the basic receiver capabilities with one
asynchronous, serial output port.
•The 4-port model (1236) includes the optional 4-port serial daughtercard for
multiple serial output connections.
•The Reed-Solomon model (1216) includes the integrated Reed-Solomon Forward
Error Correction capability along with the additional 4-port serial output ports.
•The Ethernet model (1233) includes the optional Ethernet daughtercard for
connection to Local Area Network (LAN) devices.

About This
Guide
This guide provides the high level information needed to understand the IDR V1000
in its context as a network receiver. Site- or customer-specific information is not
provided here. Typically, a WavePhore customer service representative or a network
operator provides the detailed settings, procedures, and contact numbers for specific
sites.

Audience Two types of audiences are assumed to be users of this guide:
The primary audience is the technical user who is assumed to have a working
knowledge of satellite and telecommunications equipment. These users include
installation technicians, network operators, and on-site technical staff who work
directly with the equipment to install it, verify its functionality, or perform network
maintenance or troubleshooting procedures.
The second type of audience may not deal directly with the equipment, but needs a
general understanding of the context in which the IDR V1000 operates and an
overview of the receiver’s operational capabilities.
Organization Sections 2 and 3 are intended for the technical user who needs procedures for
installing the IDR V1000 and verifying or troubleshooting its operation. Terminology
and concepts are not described within the procedures; users unfamiliar with this
information are referred to Section 4.
Section 4 is a functional overview that describes data transfer, general network
functions, and data handling within the IDR V1000. Terms and concepts encountered
within the IDR V1000 screens are defined and described here
The Appendixes include supplementary technical information such as equipment
specifications, cabling pinouts, and screen display structure.
The Glossary includes the italicized terms used in this guide.

Terminology The terms “IDR,” “IDR V1000,” or “the receiver,” used in this manual, refer to all of
the IDR V1000 models. A specific model is noted where the information applies only to
that model.
Terms that are unique to the IDR V1000 or WavePhore products are defined in
context, as well as included in the Glossary. Industry-standard terms, acronyms, and
abbreviations are listed and defined in the Glossary.
Style
Conventions A note (NOTE: ) within this guide provides supplemental information that may be
useful in procedures or may indicate an exception or anomaly.
A caution (CAUTION: ) indicates a condition or a risk factor that could disrupt
normal operations or create difficulty with data reception or output.
Italicized terms are defined in the Glossary.

Safety
Issues
Following some basic, common-sense procedures will protect you and will help keep
the IDR V1000 operating without disruption.
Do:
•Unplug power before changing external cables.
This reduces the chance of electrical shorts that could damage the receiver.
•Protect the IDR V1000 from liquids and excessive heat, humidity, or dust.
These elements can damage or wear electrical components.
•Connect the IDR V1000 to grounded power outlets.
Do Not:
•Open the casework.
Nothing inside the IDR V1000 is field-repairable.
NOTE: Opening the casework for any reason is prohibited and will void the
warranty.
•Stack the receivers.
Vents in the receiver’s casework are designed to provide the necessary ventilation
to the components. While the foot pads on the receiver may help provide
sufficient space for ventilation, stacking is not recommended.

Section 2. Installing the IDR V1000
The installation process covers the following steps:
1. Ensuring all cables are properly connected.
2. Tuning the IDR V1000 to its maximum achievable levels for that site
3. Notifying the network operator that installation is complete and to download the
appropriate services as necessary.
For more descriptive detail on the screen displays, refer to Sections 3 and 4.
Before You
Begin:
First, verify the current conditions:
1. A suitable satellite dish (with lightning protection) is already installed
2. Coaxial cable is already run from the dish to the receiver location. (RG-6 cable
is recommended, length not to exceed 500 feet.)
3. RF coaxial cable shield is connected to earth ground with a #10 gauge (or
heavier) solid copper wire at the point of entry to the building.
4. Output data cables are shielded, with shield wire attached to connector shell at
both ends of the cable.
5. Power module is not yet connected to the IDR V1000.
CAUTION: To prevent accidental shorts from causing circuit damage, the power
module should always be disconnected during installation or
whenever cables are being changed.
In addition:
•You should know the expected Eb/N0reading and AGC levels for the site.
Contact the network operator now if you do not have this information.
•Read through the safety issues in Section 1.
CAUTION: Rain, snow, high winds, or extreme cloudiness can attenuate the
signal. Do not attempt to install the receiver during inclement
weather.
