Preparing for installation

This chapter describes preparations for installing the satellite modem. Review this

contains installation parameters and other information specific to your site. Print the
Installation Reference Sheet from your installation support web site.
The satellite modem is the small indoor unit (IDU). The outdoor unit (ODU) includes
the antenna and radio assembly. An IFL cable connects the indoor unit to the outdoor
