Ts that experience short blockings as on trains passing through tunnels This CLI command allows for configuring the mobile VSATs to wait longer before deciding that the link to the SatLink Hub has been lost and start reacquiring the Forward Link The format of the command is dvb rx tablecache lt on off gt lt tunerRetryTime gt The tunerRetryTime parameter sets the maximum tuner retry time in seconds After running the dvb tablecache command the dvb rx stop and start commands are needed to activate a changed time Below is an example with a tuner retry time of 180 seconds dvb rx tablecache on 180 dvb rx stop dvb rx start The mobile VSAT will wait 3 minutes after detecting an outage before it starts to reacquire the Forward Link and re read all DVB tables If the Forward Link is found again within 3 minutes the mobile VSAT will simply resume communication with the Hub immediately and assume the outage was just caused by a short blocking The example below disables the optimized tuning for mobile VSATs dvb rx tablecache off It should be noted that the tablecache command is only recommended for use with mobile VSATs as the standard configuration is optimized for fixed VSATs Note also that one generally wants to increase the TunerRetryTime to recover two way communication faster after a blocking but setting this parameter too high will cause longer outages in case of a real outage where Forward Link re acquisition might be required
