Pointing The Antenna - Hughes Jupiter HT1100 Installation Manual

Pointing the antenna

Figure 18: All connections completed
The cable connector must be securely tightened. Make sure each connector
is properly aligned (not cross-threaded). The connector should be finger
tight with no play.
Make sure neither the satellite modem nor the customer's computer is connected
to an Ethernet device.
Do not connect any device to the satellite modem at this time except your laptop
computer. Other Ethernet devices may only be connected to the modem after it
installed and commissioned.
Make sure you have the DAPT2. You will need this to point the antenna.
1. Go outside to the antenna location.
2. Follow the procedure explained in the Jupiter Antenna Pointing Guide
(1039429-0001) to point the antenna using the DAPT2. When you finish the
pointing procedure, a screen message on the DAPT2 asks if you want to store
the pointing information in the satellite modem. If you answer yes, the
modem exits pointing mode. When the modem finishes downloading the
pointing information, the DAPT2 displays a Pointing Done message.
