interface runs at 100mbps/full duplex) to a PC. If connecting
straight from the modem
to a PC, use a crossover cable.
b) Set up the PC with the following default IP
addresses
IP Address: 192.168.0.2

a) Calculate your estimated dish pointing angles:
Visit http://www.satsig.net/ssazelm.htm or
www. satlex.de/en/azel_calc.html
Input the satellite orbit: T11 N=37.6 ° west ; IS 907 =27.5 °
west ; NSS7=22° west;
W2A=10° east, NSS 12= 57 East; IS 903=34.5 West; NSS10=37.5°
west
Input your latitude and longitude and click calculate. This will
return azimuth (magnetic)
which is the left and right movement of the dish; elevation, the
up and down movement of
the dish; and the polarisation, which is the rotation angle of
the feed assembly. Use these
value to point the dish is the right direction.
b) We recommend using a Satellite Meter such as a MaxPeak or
Horizon to
then find the satellite signal
c) Once you have a lock on the signal, open up the “antenna
pointing tool”
in iSite by right clicking on the remote and selecting “Align
Antenna” >
“Antenna Pointing”

A compression test needs to be carried out to confirm the
saturation point of the BUC
Call NOC and quote Afrikanet NST&T and ask for a compression
test. They will set up the
analyzer and issue and uplink freq
From the iSite menu select configuration …antenna
alignment...cross polarization.
Once the saturation level is achieved then the NOC will reset
the max power of the terminal.
Stop the compression test when directed by the NOC, de-power the
modem then re-power
with TX and TX cables connected. Ensure the RX light goes green
after restarting.
The NOC will then multicast to the modem the latest version of
software after which the
modem will reset. After reset the modem the following lights
should be green Status, RX,
TX once the unit locks to the network the Net light will go
green on the front of the unit and
the rear. The unit is then ready for use.
Please keep the option file safe in case of a need to reload and
