scope:

This ETS applies to the two-way (transmit and receive) Very Small Terminal Aperture Terminal (VSAT) satellite earth stations operating in the framework of a satellite network for digital communication purposes as defined in ETS 300 159. In these networks there is a control and monitoring function at each VSAT and a separate set of Centralised Control and monitoring Functions (CCMF). The control and monitoring functions are designed to limit interferences to users of the frequency sepctrum due to a fault condition at the VSAT.
