Work through these checks
01 · EPAK maritime VSAT PRO family
Match the exact model, product code and manual edition. Record the existing connections, status indicators and displayed error without changing them. Preserve settings and stored data; do not reset, flash software, format storage or alter wiring as a first check. Keep account details, device identifiers and precise location private.
02 · DSi6Ku Pro / DSi9Ku Pro / DSi9 Ka Pro / DSi13Ku Pro / Status -> Dashboard / TX mute off / TX mute / Manual Control / Apply / Status -> Network / Status -> System
Match DSi6Ku Pro / DSi9Ku Pro / DSi9 Ka Pro / DSi13Ku Pro to the EPAK maritime VSAT original Doc ID 0304, printed 03.07.25, 34 pages. Treat the shared controller/system range as one family, not separate dish-size, band or edition credits; not older non-PRO or TVRO systems. In an existing authorized session, only read existing Status -> Dashboard fields (pages 21–22). RX LED green means receive lock, blue no lock, white/off no antenna connection. TX LED green means BUC on and transmitting, blue BUC on without transmission, white BUC off; the last LED red means ACU error, white/off no ACU error. None alone proves end-to-end internet. Record SNR in dB separately from signal power in dBm, existing antenna state, modem/network context and current symptom. TX mute off enables transmission; TX mute disables it: preserve existing inhibits and never toggle either as a test. Manual Control, beam selection, PSU control and Apply can change or move the system; do not use them. Status -> Network and Status -> System show existing traffic and system health (page 23), not authorization to change routing, LTE/VSAT priority or fallback. RF exclusion distance depends on dish and BUC (page 5): obey the installed exclusion areas and do not approach the above-deck antenna. Both antenna coax paths carry power; never connect/disconnect live (page 20). No transmission, movement, heading/NMEA, calibration, reset/reboot/update, voltage, fuse, opening, roof, SIM or battery work; do not interrupt a known update. Protect GPS, vessel heading, serials, IPs and credentials. This OEM-hosted historical original does not guarantee current service, options, compatibility or compliance.
