Installation manual

This is the main ACP window that allows you to do 2 different kinds of Cross Pol Routines.
AUTOMATIC – This test is PASS or FAIL. If you pass, you are fully cross poled and if your modem is commissioned, you
may start surfing on the internet (normally in 10 to 20 seconds). You may run this test as often as you like. You only need to
PASS once to be successful, but the dish will not pass if it is not skewed properely.
MANUAL – This is a real time meter that shows you how well your dish is skewed from moment to moment (this is called
the “isolation” reading). If you move the dish skew, the isolation meter will raise or lower depending on how well the dish is
skewed (higher numbers are better). This meter allows you to make fine adjustments to the skew. The test will run for about
1 to 2 minutes before it will automatically shut down… at which point, you may click on the MANUAL button to restart the
test again.
THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ACP.
• During busy usage of the ACP server, you will request a manual test and there will a MANUAL test may show a
queue of people waiting to take the test. It may take seconds or minutes for your turn to take place.
• The Manual test will not pass you in ACP. You must successfully pass on AUTOMATIC test to successfully pass
cross pol.
USING A MOBILE SATELLITE DISH
Obviously, the mobile dish would have calculated a skew already when it found the satellite, and you may want to skip the
Manual test and see if you can get a passing grade with the Automatic Test. If not, you’ll have to use the manual motor
controls. If you have a NON-commissioned Direcway modem, the MAGELLAN will only pass on G4R automatically. You
do have the option of using the MAGELLAN to find a different satellite, and then performing a Cross Pol (for
commissioning) on that satellite.
If you don’t pass with Automatic, we’ll have to tweak the satellite dish skew. To do this, type in 192.168.1.2 to bring up the
