Step 4 - Calibrate the Gyros

The sensor module’s gyros need to be calibrated to 
work with the antenna’s main board. Follow the 
steps below to calibrate the gyros.

a.

Connect your computer to the HD11’s Ethernet 

or Wi-Fi network. Then type the ACU’s serial 

number into your web browser’s address bar, as 

shown below:

NOTE: You can view the ACU’s IP address and serial 
number on the ACU’s front panel display. Press 

MENUS

 until the display shows “ABOUT SYSTEM”, 

press 

ACCEPT

, and then scroll through until you see the 

desired information.
