Hence the designatory letter\ U standing for \fBUNIDIRECTIONAL\fR . .PP 5.3 The supergroup may be set up initially with only some of the destinations, for example, Montreal may be connected some time, say a year or so, after Bogota and Lusaka. .PP Furthermore, a destination may alter the amount of bandwidth it exploits, e.g. Bogota may initially derive Groups\ 1 and 2, Group\ 5 being derived some time later. .PP 5.4 The portions of the supergroup defined by the stations\ 1\(hy2\(hy3, 4\(hy5\(hy6, and 8\(hy9 are supergroup sections which are to be treated in the way described in the following paragraphs of this Recommendation. .PP 5.5 The routings connecting stations\ 3, 4, 7 and 8 to their corresponding earth stations\ A, B, C and\ D can be markedly dissimilar. For example, the routing to control station\ 4 from earth station\ B need not resemble in any way the analogous routing from earth station\ D to control station\ 8. Control station\ 4 may be at the earth station, that is, the \fIdistance\fR between\ B and 4 is zero whereas the \fIdistance\fR between\ D and 8 may be several hundreds of miles perhaps and may be routed over a variety of coaxial line or radio\(hyrelay systems. .PP 5.6 The portion\ 1\(hy2\(hy3 is referred to as a \fIcommon path\fR .

For example, station\ S in Figure\ 2/M.460 is: .RT .LP \(em control station for main section\ Q\(hyS, .LP \(em sub\(hycontrol station for main section\ S\(hyT, .LP \(em control station for national section\ R\(hyS. .sp 1P .LP 6.4 \fIControl functions in case of multiple destination (MU)\fR \fItransmission links\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP The multiple destination unidirectional section defined by the through\(hyconnection stations nearest to the earth stations is to be a main section.

Such control stations are not called \fIsatellite\fR stations because group, supergroup, etc., control functions are independent of the means of transmission. .PP In addition: .LP \(em the sub\(hycontrol station for the MU\ main group, supergroup, etc., section is designated the \fIsend reference station\fR for the MU\ main group, .LP supergroup,\ etc., section (in the example, station\ 3 is so designated). .PP Again the distinction must be maintained between any coordination stations nominated for the satellite system (concerned with baseband, etc., matters) and MU\ main group, supergroup, etc., section reference stations. If stations\ 3, 4, 7 and\ 8 are physically in earth stations\ A, B, C and\ D respectively, then those earth stations will also have to function as the MU\ main section reference stations in addition to other responsibilities associated with coordination functions of the satellite system. .PP In addition to the responsibilities conferred on the send reference station by Recommendations\ M.80, M.90 and this Recommendation, the following responsibilities also apply: .RT .LP a) coordinating the lining\(hyup of the MU\ main section; .LP b) cooperating with MU\ main section control stations during the lining\(hyup of the section; .LP c) keeping a record of the measurements made at MU\ section control stations during the lining\(hyup of the section; .LP d) coordinating maintenance action for the MU\ main section when called upon to do so by one of the MU\ main section control stations. .sp 2P .LP \fB7\fR \fBSetting up and lining up an international group,\fR \fBsupergroup, etc., link\fR .sp 1P .RT .sp 1P .LP 7.1 \fISetting up the link\fR \v'3p' .sp 9p .RT .PP 7.1.1 Once the route has been agreed, the supermastergroup, mastergroup, supergroup or group link control station will direct the operations needed to set up the link. .PP All the repeater stations concerned \(em\ i.e.\ the stations at the ends of each supermastergroup, mastergroup, supergroup, or group section that will make up the link\ \(em should make setting\(hyup tests and check the equipment to be used, such as the through supermastergroup, mastergroup, supergroup, and group filters, etc. The check should include a general visual inspection and vibration tests, particularly if the equipment has remained unused for some time since acceptance tests were carried out after installation. .bp .PP 7.1.2 Each country sets up the national part within its territory, each international supermastergroup, mastergroup, supergroup or group section is set up by the stations at the ends of this section in the two countries concerned (which are the supermastergoup, mastergroup, supergroup or group through\(hyconnection stations closest to the frontier) and these national and international supermastergroup, mastergroup, supergroup or group sections are interconnected by through\(hysupermastergroup, through\(hymastergroup, through\(hysupergroup or through\(hygroup filters, as may be appropriate.

This is to ensure that the various pilots and other measuring signals that can be inserted (for example, intersupergroup measuring signals) are received at the correct levels, and can be measured at the receive station to provide valid reference measurement results for use in maintenance. There are other obvious advantages if this could be done. Unforeseen increases in exploitation or rearrangement of the allocated bandwidth (permanent or emergency) would be eased if the whole band were equalized.

(In general, small variations in level are to be expected and no limits can be given. Automatic regulation devices are installed to compensate for these small changes, which must therefore be accepted.) .LP b) The pilot monitors should be adjusted so that they subsequently indicate departures from the line\(hyup value, that is to say, they should be adjusted to indicate 0\ dB under line\(hyup conditions. Stations not equipped with pilot monitors should measure and record the level of the group reference pilot. .LP c) At stations where automatic regulation devices are fitted they should be arranged to operate symmetrically about the line\(hyup level.

If the observed results are not satisfactory, taking into account the routing of the link and the services involved, the check should be continued to allow the trouble to be investigated and cleared. The checking is done using the pilot (or, if there is none, using a test frequency at about the same frequency), whose level is continuously recorded during the test, at the far end of the link.
