Mount Installation Guide (1035678-0001).
Before you can install the satellite router, you must route the coaxial IFL cables between the
indoor satellite router location and the antenna. Then you connect the router and the antenna by
connecting the IFL cable to both components.
The routing path of the IFL cables between the router and the antenna depends on the building
configuration. Guidelines for installing IFL cables are included in the Antenna Site Preparation
and Mount Installation Guide (1035678-0001).
You must use approved cable types and connectors to connect the router to the outdoor satellite
antenna. For grounding, you must use approved ground blocks and grounding connectors. For
detailed specifications and information on these components, see the documents listed in
3: Related installation documents
The coaxial IFL cables and the ground block to which they are connected must meet the grounding
requirements specified in the following warning:
grounding requirements in Field Service Bulletin (FSB), HNS Broadband Requirements for
RG-6 and RG-11 IFL Cable Connectors, Ground Blocks, and Ground Block Location
(FSB_050518_01). Improper grounding can result in electric shock injury, property damage,
and/or poor router performance.
Label the receive and transmit IFL cables at the outdoor point-of-entry and at the indoor location
where the satellite router is installed as follows:
• Wrap a piece of red electrical tape around the receive cable, and mark SAT IN on the tape.
• Wrap a piece of blue electrical tape around the transmit cable, and mark SAT OUT on the
tape.
If the satellite router is to be connected to a network, an Ethernet hub, router, wireless base
station, or other similar device is required. The customer must supply and configure the network
device, including required cables, according to the device manufacturer's documentation. Required
IP address information is obtained during router commissioning.
This installation guide covers only installation of the satellite router. For installation instructions
