The transmit and receive cable connectors must be securely tightened.
•
Make sure each connector is properly aligned (not cross-threaded).
•
The connector should be finger tight with no play.
Note: The satellite router may operate correctly when first installed even if the
transmit and receive cable connectors are not adequately tightened.
However, problems could develop later. Therefore, successful router
operation is not an indication that the cables are adequately tightened.
2. Make sure neither the satellite router nor the customer’s computer are
connected to an Ethernet router or switch.
Note: Do not connect any device to the satellite router at this time except the
installer laptop computer. Ethernet devices may only be connected to the
router after it is installed and commissioned.
