Pointing the antenna
Make sure you have the DAPT and the correct squinter for the radio assembly to be installed. You will need these tools
to point the antenna.
1. Go outside to the antenna location.
2. Follow the procedure explained in the Ka-Band Antenna Pointing Guide (1037663-0001) to point the antenna using
the DAPT and squinter.
When you finish the pointing procedure, a screen message on the DAPT asks if you want to store the pointing
information in the satellite modem. If you answer
yes , the modem exits pointing mode. When the modem finishes
downloading the pointing information, the DAPT displays a Pointing Done message.
3.
Make sure you see the
Pointing Done
message on the DAPT.
Do not remove the DAPT until you see the Pointing Done message.
4. Remove the DAPT and connect the receive IFL cable from the satellite modem the to the LNB on the radio assembly.
At this point the modem automatically begins the process of
commissioning —which includes registering with the
NOCC, downloading operational software, and related activities.
5. Go back inside to complete installation of the modem.
