The purpose of the following steps is to adjust the Line-of-Sight of the antennas in order to
maximize the main lobe SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) level. Regardless of the type of antenna
that you are using, the procedure involves making an azimuth (horizontal) alignment and an
elevation (vertical) alignment. The steps below pertain to integrated and attached antennas, but

1. Perform a coarse alignment of the antenna by using a compass heading so it is roughly “looking” at i
remote partner.
2. Connect the near end Marquee unit to the laptop or PC where the Configurator program is installed by
using a crossover Ethernet cable. Run the Configurator. Verify that the unit where you are locally
connected to as well as its remote partner are both displayed on the Main Screen (Fig. 2.12).
