hello sir,
i bought an x3 evolution modem and trying to activate online with my provider. but it is not coming up on my provider's platform.although they login into it remotely, reboots it and do other things in it. i have rx/tx led on solid green state but no NET. pls, i want to know what could be the responsible for no NET.could it possible that there maybe a file(s)/software that my provider needs to upload to their HUB to accept the x3 series evolution modem.
pls sir, reply asap.
best regards
edwin

Your terminal can receive (UDP) without a NET LED.   They are likely changing your TX Values to add or remove power (in an effort to meet the network UCP).  

If your TX LED is illuminating (periodically) then the following could be possibilities:

1.  You are not radiating enough power and are too far below the UCP.
2.  Your radiating too much power and you are above and beyond the coarse adjust parameters of the UCP.
3.  You BUC could be faulty
4.  Your Uplink cabling could be faultly

Have you conducted a peak and pol (CW and Modular) with Controllers?  If not, please consider that course of action.  That will confirm whether or not you are radiating CW (pure carrier).... and modulated.

Additional Considerations:

1. Double check your software version and ensure that you have the same version as the Hub.  
2. Ensure you have enough BUC to close the inroute/upstream the Hub has you populated in.

Dear MIKE,
I have the same problem in my X3 remote. 1 remote is not getting NET LED. RX and TX is solide green. i have checked my software version. i was same as HUB. My tx chain and BUC are not faulty because another modem is getting NET from this  site. so we could say our TX chain is ok. I was trying to peak a CW carrier but i was not seen any CW carrier into my Spectram analyzer. What can i do now brother?

we have 14 remote which has same problem and it is now in my HUB store Room.

Note: It was a old modem which was running in my client premises.

Maybe your option file does not match the BUC model. Please confirm what is the BUC model and what is the up translation in the option file?

It must be then that GPS coordinates are wrong.

Please confirm in the option file that the satellite longtitude, site lat and site long are all correct.

Good luck and tell us how it goes Smiley

It could be related to an IP address conflict on the hub or incorrect configuration of the IP address somewhere? The NET LED indicates that the link layer between the PP and management IP address is established.

Dear dot, This was a running modem in my client end. suddendlly it was behaving like this problem . I think you  could be right. so if it happend (According to your thinking) how can i troubeshoot this problem.

Note: we have some remote as the same problem. Please do something for me.

Dear Sohel,

If BUC is good,
and modem is good,
and RX and TX are green but net is off,
it means that the hub cannot get a good signal from the remote side.

Maybe you can send us the option file and your location, with your BUC model so we will analyze it?

Another possible thing that was not mentioned before is please check the OMT.

If it is a Ku band, maybe you installed the BUC on the LNB arm with the RTF.
Or maybe you are set to Co-pol and need to work in Crosspol etc.

#

I mentioned it before that there is no chance to fault OMT, RF cable, LNB, BUC, Connector, alignment. because another x3 is running in the same site.

understand?

My LNB and BUC both Manufacture are iDirect  (Part No- E0001-100-0001)

Note: HUB latlong and remote latlong will be same in my option file because both are now in same loacation & i am from my HUB. If you want i can give you teamviewer access to the remote with a Console cable.

ok, so we eliminated GPS coordinates problem and also pointing, ODU and IFL. We comes to the modem now.

If the modem is at the hub, maybe you can connect a spectrum to the Tx port of the modem, just make sure you disable the DC and 10Mhz. Try to send to the modem CW command and try to see if you see it on the spectrum.

Another thing is to confirm there is no software mismatch. Maybe something is faulty there as well...

What is software mismatch? My NMS package and Remote package both are same version.

why need off DC volt and 10 MHz? i am not  checking Rx chain. so why we need to off those?

N.B: Today i am seeing that tx and net is blinking. so Tx LED is not stable? so i am not going to check the CW. Why it is blinking? what is the problem ?

Problem is solved. Just i have do nothing. connect Rx & Tx cable into the modem and after 2 days later suddenly i saw that NET LED comes up. i don't know what was the problem. Anybody guess what was the problem???

Check your router to make sure that the correct routes listed, etc...Maybe they have added something else to the network at the hub site that could be in the same IP subnet.

Also check the QoS that these remotes are running on. This can also cause issues. Get the HUb to revert this to default and see if this fixes the issue.
