Use the following procedure to Install an M2M terminal with the Point Once option (Setup Web UI
page). This procedure assumes the terminal is mounted in the optional NEMA 4X enclosure
shown below but the same basic procedure can be used without the enclosure.
1.
Prepare the M2M satellite terminal: route power and Ethernet cables through the cable
ports, mount the 9201 in the enclosure and connect all cables. Set the housing to the
correct elevation angle for your location. (At 0 degrees, the unit is vertical, pointing to
the horizon and at 90 degrees it is horizontal, pointing to the sky.)
2.
Mount the unit so that the satellite terminal has a clear view of the satellite. Connect
power to the terminal.
3.
The satellite terminal will power up and within a few seconds will enter pointing mode
and generate audible pointing tones. During staging the unit must be configured for
“Point Once”. The audio pointing tones will come on automatically without having to
press the audio button.
4.
Standing to the side, behind or below the terminal so as not to block the signal, rotate it
to maximize the signal – the audio tones will increase in pitch and frequency as the signal
improves.
5.
Once the direction has been optimized, rotate the elevation to maximize the signal. This
may be unnecessary if the unit was set at the correct elevation angle.
6.
The signal may also be checked by viewing the reflection of the pointing LEDs on the
inside top surface of the enclosure. Ideally at least 4 green LEDs will be visible. (C/N0 of
54dB.)
7.
When the signal has been maximized, tighten the mounting screws.
8.
Press the audio button on the top of the unit. (May have to tilt it out of the housing to get
access to the button.) Tones and pointing LEDs will turn off.
