WINDOW - INPUT DATA
GPS – The Input Data window shows that GPS has been acquired. (The GPS Antenna is located inside of the Direcway Dish
LNB cover at the end of the dish arm). It sometimes takes a minute for GPS to be read after the dish is booted.
Vehicle Heading – The magnetic direction the vehicle is headed. The screen above shows a magnetic heading of 117.3
degrees. This should be close to a handheld compass. If not, you will want to click on the “Compass Calibration” link on the
bottom of the “Status” window seen above.
Satellite – This shows that your modems are set to acquire satellite 99 (99 degrees longitude, or satellite G11). DW6000
uncommissioned
modems will show Satellite 99 as the default satellite. If you have a satellite reading of 0.0, then it means
that your Direcway modems are not responding. You can check this by clicking on the “Hughes Modems” link on the Status
Window. If the Hughes DW6000 administration screen does not appear, then check to see the modems are connected to the
Linksys router and reboot the MAGELLAN by unplugging it from the power bar.
Override – Clicking on this link brings up the screen below.
You may manually override any of the selected options. For use in commissioning your modems, you will select your
chosen satellite from the “Satellite Transponders” drop down box.
