is accomplished, use the Signal Strength meter below to optimise the
pointing direction.
Signal Strength: This blue bar moves to the right as the signal received
from the satellite gets stronger. The numeric display to the right of the
bar is simply a digital representation of the bar. The orange peak-hold
bar at the end of the blue bar identifies the highest signal strength
measured during antenna pointing and will help you optimise the
pointing direction. Use this display when fine tuning ThurayaDSL’s
orientation to the satellite. Signal strength is only a relative measure of
the satellite signal strength and may vary from location to location.
Switch GPS Antenna: You can switch between an Internal and External
GPS Antenna by selecting one of these two radio buttons. Once you
have made the change, select the Apply button to implement the
change. The External option should only be selected when using the
optional external GPS antenna accessory. Instructions on how to
connect the optional external GPS antenna accessory are included
with the accessory package.
Mute/Unmute Signal Beep: An audible beep to provide a relative
indicator of signal status (faster beep = higher signal quality) can be
emitted from your computer speaker during the Pointing Process. Select
this button to Mute or Unmute the sound.
Exit Pointing: Select this button to leave the screen after optimum signal
strength has been achieved. This action will take you to the home
screen on the MMI.
