Applications
AAE Eclipse VSAT network products are the foundation of a complete, comprehensive, and cost-effective turnkey networking solution. Flexible, efficient, and reliable, Eclipse technologies are suitable for a number of configurations and can therefore be used for varying network applications. The products are forward compatible and optimized for efficiency by AAE engineers prior to field installation. Thus, an Eclipse-based network or system is the most economical and adaptable solution available on the market.

ECLIPSE NETWORK PLANNER Network Planner is a program with a user-friendly interface that can be installed on a standard Windows platform. Network Planner consists of three major input areas that require no special knowledge. The questions include topics such as network topology (Mesh, Star, or Hybrid), the desired data rate, and the range of frequencies allocated to the network on the satellite. The program will use this and other simple information provided by the user to do all of the required calculations and planning. Network Planner will calculate the number of carriers in the network and provide frequency assignment to each of them. It will add provisions for seamless redundancy, power control, and rain fade control if the application so dictates. Most importantly, Network Planner will establish an accurate TDMA frame configuration that is safe from any potential errors.

ECLIPSE CONTROL CENTER The Eclipse Control Center is the software utility used during installation of Eclipse modems. Features in the Eclipse Control Center are useful during the installation, configuration, test, and commissioning of an Eclipse modem at a Hub site. The Eclipse Control Center allows an operator to provision an Eclipse modem with ease. The operator loads the configuration data, sets the location of the modem, calibrates the initial power level, and brings the modem into the network for the first time. Using the Bandwidth Tab, an operator establishes the amount of satellite bandwidth the modem is permitted to use. The amount of bandwidth a node is allowed to use is the Committed Information Rate (CIR) and is assigned by traffic class. At the Hub site, the Eclipse Control Center gives the operator the ability to add, delete, and modify carrier frequencies and test the connection.

ECLIPSE DSR ROUTER MANAGEMENT The Eclipse DSR Router Management tool uses a web browser to commission an Eclipse router. For security, the Eclipse Router Management tool requires a login with user name and password in order to access the router. Users can perform the following functions using the Eclipse DSR Router Management tool:

ECLIPSE NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Eclipse Network Management System (NMS) provides configuration management and information access to Eclipse DAMA networks. The NMS sever uses client-server architecture with standard platforms, protocols, and applications software to provide a full featured and economical network management system. Its advanced architecture enables multiple operators to monitor and manage Eclipse VSAT networks in real time. It is fully compatible with present and future user needs with its standard platforms, protocols, and technology.

ECLIPSE SPECTRUM ANALYSIS TOOLSET The spectrum analysis toolset facilitates VSAT field technicians with calibration and alignment of Eclipse modems. The Eclipse modem and toolset work together to locate the allocated satellite carrier while monitoring adjacent carriers. This is done simultaneously as the antenna is aligned and the polarization is adjusted for cross pole performance. Therefore, the toolset allows for ease of setup with a minimum use of deployable field equipment, lowering setup costs.
