Installation manual

• 1308_17K, 1070_6K, 1230_14K, 1350_20K… are the transponders. Note how most satellites

have more than one transponder for that satellite. Select any transponder.

You must press on the “CALCULATE” button

to record your selection. The main screen will

automatically appear.

Now click on “Find Satellite”.

You can watch the Azimuth, Elevation and Skew angles change in the admin window.

The dish should find the satellite and perform and pass a “cross pol” in about 3 to 7 minutes. Please

review APPENDIX D for more information on what “Cross Pol”, or “ACP” is. Once the dish has

passed cross pol, you may begin to commission the DW6000 modems.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS - If the dish fails to find satellite, try changing do a different transponder

on that satellite (see above). If the dish does find satellite but doesn’t pass cross pol… Try pressing on

Find Satellite again and giving the dish a 2

chance. If it again finds satellite, but again fails to pass

cross pol, then you will need to perform the cross pol yourself, and you can use any Satellite, (not just

G4R). Instructions on how to do this are in APPENDIX D – PERFORMING A CROSS POL

MANUALLY. This is also a good place to learn about what Cross Pol is.

STEP 7 – COMMISSIONING THE DW6000 MODEMS

Once upon a time you had to find a phone connection to connect to your computer’s modem to

commission a set of Direcway modems. As you can imagine, this was extremely inconvenient for a

mobile installation. Today however, the commissioning process can take place anywhere you can a

Direcway satellite, which is perfect for mobile installs. You can literally be anywhere and install and

commission a MAGELLAN system.

Okay,.. before you start the commissioning, make sure that you have your SAN & PIN number from

Ground Control.

From the last step, the MAGELLAN is locked on satellite and has passed cross pol. Now we want to

bring up the Direcway Setup window by typing in this URL:

TIP - You should have the URL in your Favorites list for easy access.
