WSSOC ANNEX B ACTUAL FINAL QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔What type of Modem(s) does the MCWS-X utilize? - ✔✔950 MP/ CBM 400
✔✔Options files - ✔✔iDirect
✔✔Bootfiles - ✔✔Linkway
✔✔RNG and SMAT - ✔✔EBEM
✔✔VSAT-S is : - ✔✔SPOKE
✔✔The purpose of indicators are only to let the user know faults within the equipment? -
✔✔False
✔✔What is the purpose of the box scan ? - ✔✔To find the satellite signal
✔✔What does the SSPA/HPA do?! - ✔✔Amplifies Power
✔✔What are the two power supplies on the VSAT-S RF case ? - ✔✔24 VDC and 48
VDC
✔✔Lws2_stat - ✔✔Shows status of linkway
✔✔Lws2_start - ✔✔Starts linkway software
✔✔Lws2_stop - ✔✔Stops linkway software
, ✔✔What is the purpose of a CW?! - ✔✔Continues waves used by satellite controllers to
measure your terminals isolation while conducting a peak and poll; a CW does not
modulate data and doesn't impact other missions using the same satellite
✔✔What are the three parts of the CW command? - ✔✔Freq / transmit power / time
✔✔The iDirect modem utilizes a boot file ? - ✔✔False
✔✔What application or web GUI is used for the ODU for the MCWS-X ? - ✔✔Panther II

I can disconnect the transceiver Cable. - ✔✔False, because it stops the modem from
connecting to the satellite
✔✔The operator should not worry about the MCWS-X terminal overheating - ✔✔False
✔✔What does SAR stands for ? - ✔✔Satellite access request
✔✔What is the purpose of an SAR ? - ✔✔Request access to a satellite
✔✔Indicator green on MCWS-X ? - ✔✔Good to go
✔✔Indicator yellow on MCWS-X ? - ✔✔Caution
✔✔Indicator Red on MCWS-X ? - ✔✔Fault
✔✔Indicator gray in MCWS-X ? - ✔✔Not in use
✔✔When acquiring the satellite with a MCWS-X you conduct ______ tune movements.
- ✔✔Coarse
✔✔Once you have found the SNR, you will conduct _____ tube adjustments to peak the
SNR - ✔✔Fine
✔✔What bands can you conduct a peak and poll with ? - ✔✔All of them except L-band
