Starting Dual Antenna System (Optional)
Intellian's new ACU has embedded Dual Antenna Mediator function, which can be utilized to switch between
two Intellian VSAT antenna systems simultaneously. When one antenna is blocked by obstacles or has
suddenly lost service, another antenna will immediately provide a fail-safe operation to maintain the highest
levels of system performance and reliability. It ensures always-on broadband service by reducing the out of
service time.
1. Basic Configuration
To use the Dual Antenna System, make sure that the antenna system components are properly installed.
Refer to the "Dual Antenna System Configuration (Optional)" on page 30 for more details.
2. Establishing Dual Antenna System Communication
To establish dual antenna system communication between, the primary antenna and secondary antenna must
be assigned the antenna role as primary/secondary. Please follow the steps below.
2.1 Connecting Ethernet Cable
Connect an Ethernet cable from the Management LAN port on the front of the master/slave ACU to the LAN
port of PC. The network connection is established.
