This summary focuses on installation of the satellite router, but also includes some
information on related tasks such as antenna installation and pointing. The tasks

but these are not all of the installation
tasks.
Complete all steps in the order they are presented in this installation guide unless
you have a specific reason for doing them in a different order. In any case, make sure
