Symbol offset (as observed thru iMonitor) is a timing correction value issued by the hub (to the remote) as the spacecraft moves in its station box. �It is normally a low number (around 5-10 up to 200-300). The hub literally monitors every burst from the remote and issues offsets to ensure that the remote remains centered in it�s time slot. �Adjustments are made (by the network) to the symbol offset every 20 seconds through the UCP (Uplink Control Process) in an effort to keep the burst centered. �For reference, SO = � Acquisition Aperture.

If you are getting SO warnings, there is a timing issue. �

I would start with re-confirming the exact geo coordinates for the remotes location. �Since your other remotes are not reporting this warning, it appears to be isolated to the single node so re-confirming the Hubs geo coordinates is not needed. �Have the remote pinpoint its location in lat/long DMS. �Make sure it is as accurate as possible and add the digits to iBuilder (GEO TAB) and reset the remote (tcp)
