Chapter 1 Product Overview
The High Power Compact C-BUC is easy to install and redundancy ready.
The Agilis C-Band BUC also offers a wide range of distinctive advantages
and enhanced features for satellite communication systems in remote or
challenging geographic regions. Its innovative and robust design makes it
very reliable under harsh environment conditions.
The High Power Compact C-BUC is a high performance, reliable and cost-
effective RF transmitter designed for satellite communication with high
speed transmission capability. This unit is suitable for both telephony and
high speed data communication.
The C-BUC is designed with low power consumption, well suited for
applications and systems where power is an important concern. With low
pulse mode phase perturbation, it is extremely useful for systems that
require burst mode applications. The C-BUC has a built-in 10MHz
reference with auto-detection which enables the C-BUC to operate with
internal 10MHz reference if an external 10MHz is not detected from the
modem.
IM02960187 Rev. C 1
Chapter 1 Product Overview
Demultiplexer
The DEMUX module splits the external 10 MHz reference and L-band
that are carried to the BUC by the input coaxial cable.
Up-converter
The L-band transmit signals received from an indoor modem is
passed through a high pass filter (to reject interference and
harmonics) and then up-converted by the U/C with a LO signal,
achieving the desired RF transmit C-band frequency.
The SSPA’s input and output are protected from any mismatch with
internal isolators. You are still recommended, however, to
terminate RF output during testing.

Chapter 3 Installation
Upon opening the box, carefully remove the items in the package and
check them against the packing list. If any of the items are damaged or
missing, please contact Agilis or your local Agilis representative before
proceeding.
We recommend that you keep the original packing materials until you
have completed the checks and confirmed that the unit is in working
order.
If you need to repack the product for shipping, please use the original
shipping container and packing materials whenever possible. Alternatively,
you may also use high quality commercial packing materials to repack the
unit. Please seal the container firmly and clearly mark “FRAGILE
Electronic Equipment” on the exterior.
IM02960187 Rev. C 25
Chapter 3 Installation
Before proceeding with the mounting process, please ensure that the
environmental conditions in the area where the BUC is to be mounted is
appropriate for its optimal operation. These include:

Chapter 3 Installation
IM02960187 Rev. C 27
Chapter 3 Installation
When selecting the AC power source to connect your unit to, please
ensure that the voltages are within the limits specified in the table below.
You are recommended to use an Automatic Voltage Regulator if your
power source falls outside of these limitations.
Note: Please note that you may interchange the wiring connection
between the live and neutral pins. Interchanging these two pins will still
power up the BUC but may affect the switching operation of the setup.
Confirm that the unit has not been damaged during shipment.
28 IM02960187 Rev. C
Chapter 3 Installation
Step 1 Connect the C-BUC as in the figure below and power up the system.
Step 2 Using the M&C software (Chapter 4 BUC Set Up and Management), set up
the desired channel.
Step 3 Use the L-band satellite modem to input an L-band pure carrier
Turn on the transmit carrier and set the pure carrier feature to ON.
Step 4 Adjust the modem’s output power until the IF level input to C-BUC is -25
dBm.
Step 5 Measure the RF OUT of the C-BUC using a spectrum analyzer at C-band.
Example:
8 - (-25) + 30 = 63 dB
IM02960187 Rev. C 29

Chapter 3 Installation
2. Drive a 3m lightning rod into the ground about 30cm from the
antenna pole. Bolt an aluminium wire, minimum 9mm in diameter,
to the ground pole. A tight clamp is used to make contact at the
top end. Avoid sharp bends when routing the wire as these may
impede current flow.
3. Bond the power supplies of the BUC to the antenna frame and the
ground rod using size 3/0 or 4/0 stranded copper wire.

Step 4 In the address bar, enter the BUC’s access IP address. The BUC’s default IP
address is 192.168.1.1. A Welcome page similar to the one below should
display.
All screenshots in this section are generic for all Agilis ALB190 series
products. Hence these screens are not specific and may differ slightly
from the models covered in this manual.
This screen displays the Web Page Version and a pictorial representation
of the BUC operating status. You can use the menu on the top of the

By default, the manager initiates requests and receives responses via port
161. The agent sends SNMP Trap messages via port 162.
The figure below shows the categorization of BUC parameters that are
used in defining the MIBs for SNMP enabled Agilis products. These
categories help define various device parameters very distinctly and help
for easy access and navigation when using any manager.
Note: This figure shows the full set of categories and does not apply to
all Agilis products. These categories are closely used in defining the
product MIBS for all the SNMP enabled devices. The set of parameters that
are available in each Agilis product will differ.

Step 1 Activate your SNMP manager. Agilis products will work with most standard
SNMP managers available in the market.
Note: For the purpose of this manual, all screenshots in this section
are made using the SNMP Manager from iReasoning. You can download or
purchase any standard third party SNMP Manager software and install it
into your PC.
Step 2 In the SNMP manager, enter the BUC’s access IP address. The following
show the default configuration:
Agent IP: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
SNMP Manager: 192.168.1.10
IM02960187 Rev. C 59
Chapter 4 BUC Set Up and Management
Step 3 Insert the CD included in your package into your PC’s disc drive and load
the MIB definition file (“AGILIS-PROD-XXX-MIB.mib”) into your SNMP
manager.
You can also download the MIB definition file from our website at
www.agilissatcom.com.
Once the file has been loaded, a tree structure should be displayed in your
manager as shown below.
60 IM02960187 Rev. C
Chapter 4 BUC Set Up and Management
Each item in the tree is called a node. A parent or root node can be
expanded into branches. You can view each branch by clicking the +/-
icons in the tree. Each branch eventually terminates at leaf nodes.
IM02960187 Rev. C 61
Chapter 4 BUC Set Up and Management
To execute a command on any node in the tree, simply select the node
and right-click. From the menu that appears, select the command to
execute. Note that not all commands are available for every object in the
tree.

and select a command you want to execute. In this example, “Walk” is
selected.

4.5.2 Setting up the Wi-Fi connection between the iPhone and the BUC
The WIFI Module should be enabled on the HTTP WebUI before the setting
the Wi-Fi connection between your iPhone and BUC. Refer to Section 4.3.4
Modifying BUC Network Settings for details on how to enable the WIFI
Module on the HTTP WebUI.
Once the WIFI Module is enabled, Follow the steps below to configure the
Wi-Fi connectivity between your iPhone and the BUC.

Step 2 Check that the transmit and receive configurations on both the modem
and the C-BUC complies with the SETUP RECORD. If there are any
discrepancies, contact the personnel responsible for the previous record
for clarifications before proceeding.
Step 3 Turn on the pure carrier of the modem and measure the power level using
a spectrum analyzer.
Step 6 Ensure that all cables are in good working condition by performing the
following procedure:
Step 7 Again using a mega ohm meter, measure the ground resistance of the
antenna. This value should not be greater than 10Ω
Step 8 Reconnect the transmit cable to the modem and measure the power level
of the pure carrier transmitted into the C-BUC’s input port. Calculate the
IFL loss and check that it is similar to the value recorded in the SETUP
RECORD.
Step 9 Turn on the BUC and connect the IF IN cable. Record the RF OUT power
level and calculate the uplink gain. Check that the resultant gain complies
with both the SETUP RECORD and the gain setting on the BUC.
78 IM02960187 Rev. C
Chapter 5 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Step 10 Measure the power level and C/N0 of the receive carrier under
consideration at the BUC’s IF OUT port. Check the readings against the
SETUP RECORD. If there is a significant variation in the two, contact the
transmit site for confirmation.
Step 11 Measure the level at the modem’s IF input to determine the Rx IFL loss.
Match this value against the SETUP RECORD.
