Now connect the DC or AC cord to the AN-30 outlet and turn the terminal on using the
toggle switch at the rear of the unit. The system "Pwr" LED should illuminate green to
indicate power to the unit. The system is now ready to be configured. If the Pwr LED is
not on and/or the "Fault" LED illuminates red, there is a problem with the terminal.

Aligning The Antenna

Once the antenna is mounted and the terminal is installed, the antenna must be aligned in
both the azimuth and elevation planes. Elevation alignment is accomplished by
loosening the two bolts attached to the mounting bracket, as shown in Figure 13 below,
and angling the antenna so it is aligned towards the remote terminal. The azimuth
alignment is accomplished by loosening the bolts on the antenna bracket and rotating the
antenna until alignment is achieved. For basic tuning using actual signal strength, an
alignment "buzzer" (intermittent tone sweep generator) is available on the T-58
Transceiver. Faster repetitions of the tone sweep indicate better alignment. The buzzer is
enabled via the software interface described in section 0.
