B.3 Configuration of the dual antenna mode
B.3.1 Dual antenna mode
Prerequisites
Before setting up the dual-antenna system and powering the modem set the following
items:
1. Make a GX Modem profile configuration (on Master)
2. Make a Satellite profile using the GX Modem profile (on Master)
3. Make a Dual Antenna Master Modem profile (on Slave)
4. Make a Satellite profile using Dual Antenna Master Modem profile (on Slave)
5. Make an azimuth calibration for each antenna. This can be done by manually entering
GSC information.
6. Make a Tx cable calibration for the Master antenna system and for the Slave antenna
system.
Task overview for setting up a dual-antenna system
Setting up a dual-antenna system consists of the following tasks:
1. To configure the Master ACU
2. To configure the Slave ACU
3. To set up blocking zones for dual antenna setup
4. To make an OTC for ADS systems
Switching between Master and Slave antenna
On the DASHBOARD of the web interface, in the lower right hand corner, there is a hyper
link which you can use to jump between the DASHBOARD of the Master and Slave
antennas. Here it is also possible, like in the top bar, to see if the you are on the Master or
Slave antenna and if the antenna is Active or Idle. The display of the idle ACU shows IDLE in
the display’s upper status line, to the right of NAV:xx.
Do not power up the GMU at this point in time.
