Calibration
Before the SAILOR 900 Ka can be used you must select a heading input setting in order to
make an azimuth and cable calibration. The azimuth calibration is required in order to
determine the offset of the ADU zero direction to the bow-to-stern line of the ship. This
procedure is fully automatic. The satellite data for calibration can be entered directly on the
calibration page or you can define a Service profile to be used for the azimuth calibration. A
cable calibration is required in order to record the cable characteristics of the antenna cable
which is used in the SAILOR 900 Ka fixed gain feature. See
13 for more information.
After the calibration you can set up blocking zones for the specific installation.
The following sections describe the steps for a successful calibration:

Service profile for calibration
You can set up a service profile for calibration. Use this approach if you do not want to
enter the satellite parameters directly on the calibration page.
To setup a service profile do as follows:
1. Connect a PC to LAN connector 3 (Service port, standard Ethernet) of the ACU or to the
front LAN connector of the ACU.
2. Open an Internet browser and enter the IP address of the ACU (Default:
http://192.168.0.1).
3. Select ADMINISTRATION and log on with User name: admin, Password: 1234
4. Select
SETTINGS > Satellite profiles
>
New entry
. Enter the name of the satellite
profile for calibration (a name of your own choice).
5. Use the VSAT modem profile
Service & calibration
from the drop-down list.
Important
Make sure that the modem is switched off at this
point. Switch on the modem after the cable
calibration.
