its a big white buc massive then the new buc's now days i will post pictures tomorrow well it was bought of a black markert the modem so its hard to find out who the service provider was isn't it possible if i upgrade to 8.1.1 i can remove the rlock and also if i get option file from my isp that is supplying me the bandwith and upload it on the modem cause i can login as admin and user can i use the modem then?

its the buc on page 7-8 in the document also sir u didn t answer my question can't i flash the modem or sumtin to open it up cause its a pain idirect gonne deny the guy who locked have no idiea who he is

yh it is its the white one which is flat has 4 to 5 coaxil connectors

lets see what happens let me try getting the modem unlocked first anyone with suggestion on how to flash upgrade etc to get rid of the rlock please comment thanks  n1ghtwalk3r

Try emailing iDirect and tell them the modem model number and serial number and they may be able to identify the service provider they sold it to.  You could then try to set up a service with that provider and make the unit operational, or ask that the service provider to set up service briefly - a few minutes - to unlock the modem over their satellite.   Maybe they might authorise iDirect to unlock the modem in which case you would need to send it back to iDirect.  Somehow either the service provider or iDirect need to connect to your modem.

sorry to truble u guys but how do i construct a power cycle nd can i load red boot in tcp/ip and if succeed with the # after red  boot does that mean i can change the root password? if i am going the wrong way can sum1 teach me how to redboot prbly ready to tke the risk as now the modem is juz a waste

lol thts what i will do guys do u know i can login as admin or user on isite and even able to upload a new option file can i do anything with those power's

does it really work and where do i luk awnd

Ok first of all i can telnet in cmd and login as user only i can login as user&admin on the isite software i can also log on hyper terminal with host name which i use my ip address i can t login through the serial port it want connect when i try calling the console port i have the cable that has a rj45 connector going to the serial port on the modem and a serial connection at the other end going to the computer also in hyper terimnal when i logon through my ip address i can only login as user if i can get on telnet which u say is flacon what can i do can you specify what u mean by flacon and what i can do ?

onther thing in this topic we have been talking about a hughes buc number 8 in this pdf link:http://62.128.191.210/hughes_dev/files/downloads/RFU%20&%20PES%20Indentification...
can this buc only work on the nss7 satalite or even the w3a can you please tell me if this buc can work on the nss7 with a idirect modem 3100 which supports both ku band and c-band my buc is a ku-band the hughes.

ok tht's explained i just bought a new idirect mode 3100 and a new buc for idirect aswell when i put the idirect on and put the rj45 cable on the lan it don t show up  on the isite software nither does the console port work how do i configure it sum1 help i also paid my six month subscription to mweb on the w3a satalite so how do i set it up ?

thats about it for todai

thanks guys

Contact mweb and ask them for full installation instructions.  They may have preconfigured the iDirect modem and are therefore best placed to explain how to configure and connect your PC to the modem.

They should send you the relevent iDirect installation manual and provide you with dish, mount, feed system and BUC and an LNB with the correct local oscillator frequency for your downlink carrier frequency.

You need to know what satellite and what downlink polarisation name. Did they send you an options file required to tune your modem to the correct downlink carrier frequency, symbol rate etc.

Use this page to work out the Azimuth, Elevation and polarisation adjustment angles for your dish in southern Africa.

Best regards, Eric.

You say you have aligned your dish to W3A.  You don't say how you have done this.  How do you know it is W3A if you have not yet got your modem to lock to the wanted carrier?.

I suggest you check your polarisation name and the polarisation adjustment angle applied. If Horizontal name then start with the LNB at the top.  If Vertical start with the LNB at the side (either side, it does not matter).  Then apply the adjustment angle, face towards the satellite in the sky, clockwise is positive.

Then try pointing again till you find the correct satellite.

If, by "offset" your are referring to the line:
reflector_offset_angle = 0.000000
in the options file, this is of no consequence since the modem does not drive the antenna positioner.

The hub and remote latitude and longitude are important however as the modem needs to work out the range to the satellite, when the time comes to transmit.

If your dish has an elevation scale, use it to set the beam elevation angle. If you don't find the satellite on the first swing try up and down in 1 deg steps.
 
If the dish does not have an elevation scale set the front face of the dish vertical.  The beam elevation angle will now be the offset angle of the dish (read the dish installation manual).  To obtain the operational beam elevation angle tilt the dish further, either forwards or backwards to decrease or increase the beam elevation angle by the required amount.  You may wish to make an accurate inclinometer. This inclinometer may also be used to set the polarisation adjustment angle; place sideways across the BUC, LNB or waveguide part.

Best regards, Eric.
