Overview
Congratulations on purchasing a Gilat’s broadband Internet-over-Ka satellite kit.
By following a few simple steps, you will assemble a satellite dish and point it to a
satellite orbiting 36,000 km above earth. Once the dish has been pointed successfully,
the modem will log on to the system. During the logon procedure, the system will
automatically determine whether the dish has been pointed accurately enough.
Figure 1: System Overview
Once pointing quality has been approved, Internet access will be available as per the
service package ordered. The Internet connectivity provided over satellite is identical
to terrestrial Internet: it enables you to surf the Web, view online movies, chat with
friends, etc. The Internet connection enables you to connect to Web sites or other
computers that are not necessarily connected to the Internet over satellite.
Enjoy!
