Note:
The Signal Quality window is small and may not appear on top. If it is not on
top, minimize other windows until you can see it.
If the radio assembly is Ku-band and the text next to this checkbox reads Validate KA
Antenna Pointing , you probably selected the wrong LNB. In this case go back to the Receive
LNB Selection screen and select the correct LNB.
2. Use the Signal Quality indication to peak receive pointing as instructed in the antenna
installation guide.

You must peak the signal even if the antenna is locked to it. When the signal is
locked, a check mark appears in the Perform ACP checkbox on the Receive Antenna
pointing screen.
3. After you have peaked the signal, click Close to close the Signal Quality window.
Transmit antenna pointing – Ku-band
