SkyStream Networks SMR equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will
be required to correct the interference at personal expense.

Introduction to the Overview Chapter
The Overview Chapter in this user guide introduces the following SkyStream
Networks SMRs:
■
SMR-24
■
SMR-25
■
SMR-26
SMR Basic
Operations
The SMR has two basic operations:
■
Broadcast mode
■
Through mode
Broadcast Mode
The SMR-24 creates a transport stream internally and is available in four
different purchase options that allow an output data rate of either 10, 20, 80, or
160 Mbps.
Through Mode
The SMR-25 injects data opportunistically into an existing transport stream.
Broadcast or Through
Mode with Scrambling
The SMR-26 creates a transport stream internally, injects data opportunistically
into an existing transport stream, and scrambles the stream for conditional
access.
