Determining the
pointing values
Before proceeding, use the installation software to determine the
initial values to use for setting azimuth, elevation, and
polarization. Record these values and keep them handy for
reference as you install and point the antenna. In this manual,
installation software refers to:
• Satellite-based commissioning (SBC) – This is the preferred
and most automated method for pointing the antenna. You
connect to a Web-based auto-commissioning system
(WebACS) and follow the on-screen instructions.
or
• WebSetup – You log onto a DIRECWAY Web site and use the
WebSetup installation software.
You may use installation software from either of these sources. In
each case, the software configures the IDU, calculates your exact
location, and uses the location and other information to help you
point the antenna. The installation software calculates the values
you use to set azimuth, elevation, and polarization.
Follow the instructions in the IDU installation manual for
accessing and using SBC or WebSetup.
