ATTENTION 19,200 SUBSCRIBERS:

The IDC receivers will need to be adjusted to receive the new signal on SBS-6. Please us the dip switch settings described. The Norsat receiver adjustments have not been received from Norsat as of Saturday, May 23. We plan to get them on Monday and put them on the web site.

19.2K Services 5/21/98

Our 19200 Fm squared signal is also affected by this shutdown. Spacecom has switched us to SBS-6 (74 degrees W). We will have more info shortly on dipswitch settings and polarity for this bird. 19200 baud customers can ftp services from our ftp server by logging in as anonymous and changing to the /19200 directory. Our ftp site is ftp.planetc.com.

SpaceCom does have the signal up and running on SBS-6 (74 degrees W). Here are the dipswitch settings for the 19200 baud. This only affects the 10 bank row. These setting ONLY apply to the IDC receivers:

1 = off   2 = on  3 = off  4 = on  5 = on  6 = on  7 = off  8 = on  9 = off

 

For the NORSAT Fmd-50 receivers (All Black unit).

Remove the cover and you will see a set of jumpers on the left when the unit is facing you. Here are the listing of the pins that SHOULD HAVE jumpers on them for the new satellite:

UPDATED 6/3/98 !!!!!!!!! CONFIRMED SETTINGS !!!!!!!!!
