Creating a New Satellite Group
If there is no preset satellite group containing the satellites you want to
track, you can create your own custom satellite group. Follow these
steps:
1.
On the Satellites page of the web interface, set Satellite Mode to
Group
.
2.
Select
Create New Group
.
3.
Choose up to four satellites from the satellite library to include
in your new satellite group.
4.
Choose a friendly name for your group, so that you can easily
identify it later. Then save your changes.
5.
To install the new satellite group in the antenna for tracking,
follow the steps in
“Selecting a Satellite Group” on page 55
NOTE: If you assign your new group the same name as an existing user-
defined group, the new group will overwrite the older one. You cannot use
any of the names that are reserved for preset groups.
Important!
When adding linear satellites to a group, be sure to consider the skew
angle for each satellite if the antenna is not equipped with automatic
skew. In general, if the satellites are greater than 10° apart in longitude,
you will not be able to set the LNB at a skew angle that works for all of
them. You might need to adjust the skew whenever you switch
satellites.
