Complete the steps in the order shown in Figure 5: Satellite modem installation summary on page 8 unless you have
a specific reason for doing them in a different order. In any case, make sure all steps are completed. Be aware that the
satellite modem has to provide the azimuth, elevation, polarization, and tilt angle values before antenna pointing can be
completed.

Conducting a site survey

Survey the customer site to confirm that it is satisfactory for installation of the satellite terminal.
The tasks listed here are the key tasks related to installation of the satellite modem. For complete site survey information,
see the Antenna Site Preparation and Mount Installation Guide (1035678-0001).
1. Use a GPS receiver to determine the latitude and longitude at the antenna site. Note the readings.
2. Make sure there is an unobstructed line of sight to the satellite indicated on the Installation Reference Sheet.
3. Confirm that the customer's computer meets the requirements listed in Computer requirements on page 12.
