Contents of the Document
This manual is the reference guide of the EL470. It provides a detailed description
of the parameters:
•Chapter 2 gives an overview of the menu structure.
•Chapter 3 describes the User menu parameters.
•Chapter 4 describes the Unit setup, control, monitor and architecture
parameters.
•Chapter 5 describes the IP Satellite Modem specific parameters.
•Chapter 6 describes the Alarms.
•Appendix A describes how to configure Action Keys.
•Appendix B describes a brief guide on Troubleshooting.
•Appendix C gives a list of Abbreviations.
•Appendix D gives a list of all Commands in this manual.
Searching parameters in this Manual
The parameters you find in the Menu Structure section on page 8 of this manual
are organised in the same order as the menu tree of your IP Satellite Modem.
Depending on hardware installed and on software capabilities, you may not have
access to some of the menu items described in this manual.
The menu structure of any Newtec Cy N.V. device is built dynamically depending
on its configuration.
The list of parameters is rather extensive. You can choose between three types of
navigation:
1. A classic contents list, list of figures and abbreviations list as described in the
table of contents.
2. A tree structure of variables in the IP Satellite Modem. The tree structure of the
variables visualised on the next pages provides, in a very compact way, the
menu structure of the IP Satellite Modem.
3. A search in the list of commands: Appendix D on page 262 contains the
alphabetical list of mnemonics which directs to the page where the mnemonic-
variable is used.

'Normal' Command
Description
The 'normal' command is a command that sets or gets the value of a variable in the
device.
You can use a 'normal' command:
1. As stand alone.
2. As stand alone and used in a structured or special command. In this case a link
towards the command is added in the structured or special command.
3. As part of a structured or special command only. In this case the location in the
command description is NA (Not Applicable). In the command description there
is a link to both the structured and special command in which this 'normal'
command is used.
