1INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this manual is to guide a user through the minimum necessary steps to allow the reception of
EUMETCast data (DVB-S or DVB-S2) on the Ayecka SR1 DVB receiver. The base operating system used for
this procedure is Windows7.
Please refer also to the Ayecka “SR1 User Manual” for more details:
http://www.ayecka.com/download-center.php
2PREREQUISITES AND DEVICE VERSIONS
Before performing the configuration please ensure the following steps have been addressed:
A Windows PC (XP, Windows 7) with USB-2 interface is available for configuring the SR1;
The Windows PC has internet connection, or a copy of the USB to com emulator application is
available;
Administrator or Root access to the reception host system is available;
The EUMETCast antenna pointing has been performed correctly to EUTELSAT 10A for DVB-S2
KU Band reception in Europe; (For DVB-S2 reception the antenna pointing and LNB quality is
crucial), EUTELSAT 5 West A for DVB-S C-band reception in Africa and SES-6 for DVB-S C-
band reception in S. America;
An EKU has been obtained from the EUMETSAT user help desk;
The reception host has the latest EUMETCast reception software installed;
The Ayecka SR1 has software version 1.05b255 installed; If the SR1 has an older version is
strongly suggested to upgrade it to v1.05b255 (see paragraph 5);
This version includes the following :
a) Implementation of MODCOD filter to support installations with marginal EsNo
b) Modified SR1 LED signal lock's lights functionality so when the SR1 is in a single mode and
one RX led is green so the second go red immediately.
c) Support Hardware Version 2.1 –Single Rx channel receiver
d) Support Search disable to allow faster re-Lock.
e) Updated SNMP MIB to support the changes
The Ayecka SR1 firmware version 2.02b922 is installed. This version has PID 509 hard-coded.
Important Note: Firmware Version 2.02b922 does not support RX2.
3PHYSICAL CONNECTIONS
3.1 Cable Connections to the Ayecka
Connect the Ayecka power adapter plug into the socket labelled 12V 2A;
Connect the mini USB type cable from the port labelled “CONTROL” to your Windows PC using the
supplied USB cable;
Connect the RJ45 network cable from the EUMETCast reception station network interface to the
interface labelled “TRAFFIC”.

N-B: In this procedure we will use the USB port to make the initial configuration. If a DHCP server is available
in your network infrastructure the LAN MANAGEMENT port can be connected to this network and also Telnet
used to configure the device.
LED Status Indicators
POWER LED
STATUS
INDICATION
Red - The LED will stay red until the SR1starts loading the Firmware, or in case of a
fault in Firmware loading.
Red/Green Blinking –During Firmware programming process, (5-8 seconds)
N.B. If the Firmware programming fails, the led will turn red again.
Green - The led turns green constantly after two conditions are met:
The SR1 application software has been successfully launched
AND
The Firmware has been successfully programmed
3.2 Satellite Antenna Connections
Connect the antenna cable to the connector labelled “RF1”
The Ayecka has some special signal handling techniques on the RF inputs which can be used e.g
redundancy on the two RF inputs. For the EUMETCast stream we will use the “Single Mode” – i.e one
RF input will be used with 9 PIDS assigned to one demodulator. (Please refer to the user manual for more
information concerning the special modes, if this is required).
N-B: Even when working in single demodulator mode you can have two RF inputs in redundancy mode - you
can have two antennas and if one LNB fail the SR1 will automatically switch to the other one.

4CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE SR1 RECEIVER
4.1 Install and Configure the USB to UART Bridge driver
The purpose of this section is to set up the communication from a Windows PC to the SR1 using the USB
interface.
The SR1 provides local configuration and management interface using Serial over USB, to use the Serial over
USB you must install the Virtual Com drivers, on the Client PC.
Before proceedings with the installation of the receiver, install the appropriate Serial over USB driver. You can
download the VCP Driver Kit at:
https://www.silabs.com/Support%20Documents/Software/CP210x_VCP_Windows.zip
To install the drivers:
Download the drivers and follow the installation instructions.
Connect the cables to the SR1 in the following order:
RF (use RF 1 from the Back Panel)
TRAFFIC
Management (USB port)
Power
Verify that the Power LED blinks between the Red and Green for ~15 seconds and then remains Green.
Go to “Device Manager” and verify that you can see “Silicon Labs CP210x USB Bridge (COM<n>)” then
configure it as follow:

EUM/OPS/MAN/13/730927

Ayecka SR1 DVB Receiver EUMETCast Setup Guide
Page 8 of 36
Select Properties then configure as shown below (under Tab “Port Settings”):
N-B: From our example in the figures above can be seen that the device is connected to COM3
4.2 Automatic Configuration of SR1
A utility SR1CFG can be used to automatically perform the initial setup of the Ayecka SR1 receiver to allow it
to receive the “EUMETCast Ku-Band DVB-S2” & “EUMETCast C-Band DVB-S” services .
The zipped configuration files can be downloaded here:
ftp://ftp.eumetsat.int/pub/OPS/out/user/EUMETCast_Support/EUMETCast_Licence_cd/Windows/D
VB_devices/SR1/SR1_Configuration_Files/
All files have RX Channel 1 as active and configuration sets depending the user needs.

EUM/OPS/MAN/13/730927

Ayecka SR1 DVB Receiver EUMETCast Setup Guide
Page 9 of 36
The zip files contain the binary SRCFG.exe and an ASCII file containing the default configuration sr1cfg.cfg
(Do not change the configuration file!).
The SR1 local configuration and management interface uses Serial over USB; to use the Serial over USB you
must install the Virtual Com driver, on the Client PC; after installing and configuring the Com driver and
connecting SR1 to your Client PC as indicated in the paragraph 3.1, wait until the Power LED is Green
(~15 seconds) then launch SR1CFG.exe!
SR1CFG will generate a log file “sr1cfg.log”; it can be used to check the applied configuration!
Notes:
It is required that the .Net framework is installed on the machine used to perform the configuration, the
.Net framework 3.5+ is part of the Win7 and later standard distributions, for XP (and win7 if not
installed) the latest .NET version can be downloaded and installed;
If more than one receiver are connected to the Client PC, SR1CFG will configure only the first one it
finds, so make sure only the receiver to be configured is connected via USB;
It is recommended to unplug the receiver from power then plug it back before launching SR1CFG.exe;
If the automatic configuration is taking too long (more than 5 minutes), stop SR1CFG unplug the
receiver from power, plug it back and run SR1CFG.exe again;
The applied configuration using SR1CFG.exe may sometimes differ from the expected configuration
due to communication issues;
To verify the results of that operation (or manually configure the receiver) you may also use putty (or
any other “Windows® HyperTerminal”) to connect to the receiver via the USB cable. For more details
regarding the expected configuration parameters and how to use putty see the sections configure a putty
session to connect to the receiver and Manual receiver configuration.
After this configuration, the applied configuration can be also checked by connecting to the management IP via
telnet (the configured management IP is 192.168.10.99).
4.3 Management via Telnet
After connecting the LAN cable to management port (you can also connect it to the traffic port if the
management and traffic networks are “Connected” and the management multicast is ON, see the network
configuration parameters table for more details):

4.5.2.3 RX Link Margin Thresholds
The factory default values of the thresholds are 0.0 db / 2.5 db. These values define when the stream is disabled
(lower vale) or enabled again (higher value). These values must be changed in order to achieve the optimal link
margin under different conditions.
For larger antennas with the High Volume Service enabled, EUMETSAT suggests to reconfigure the RX Link
Margin Thresholds to the following values:
1. Lower threshold 0.6 dB
2. Upper threshold 0.7 dB
For Basic Service only systems, where HVS is switched off, lowest values should be the best, to avoid early cut
off. After EUMETSAT tests it is recommended to use of the following settings in order to achieve the
maximum from the receiver:
