Summary of DW6000
installation process
The DW6000 installation is a 15-step process, beginning with the
site survey and ending with completing the field service order
(FSO). Refer to the appropriate antenna installation manual for
those steps involving antenna installation.
1. Qualify the customer PC with the prequalification tool.
2. Conduct the site survey.
3. The customer approves the site survey.
4. Assemble the indoor equipment. Assemble the DW6000 and
connect it to the installer laptop. Power up the DW6000 and
laptop and verify connectivity.
5. Compute the pointing coordinates using the installer
software.
6. Assemble the antenna. Pre-set the elevation and polarization
values.

8. Run cables and ground the system. Clearly label the receive
and transmit coaxial cables at the antenna, ground block, and
indoor unit connectors.
9. Receive point the antenna.
10. Auto cross pol the antenna. When the antenna is locked in
place and continues to pass isolation, finish weather-sealing
the coaxial cable connections.
11. Register the DW6000 using WebSetup. The customer should
be present to supply a SAN and password and click to agree
to subscriber agreement.
12. After verifying the DW6000 has finished downloading its
software, connect it to the customer’s PC. The customer
should use a power strip or surge protector. The customer
checks that TCP/IP settings are set to obtain an IP address
automatically and restarts their computer.
13. The customer verifies connectivity by browsing to a Web site.
14. Record the DW6000 site ID and assigned IP address(es) for
the customer on the Quick Start Guide. Clean up trash and
verify connections are weather proofed. Optional: assist in
customer computer configuration.
