Place the VSAT IDU on a flat, stable surface, such as a desktop or shelf, close to the PC or network
device to which it will be connected. Keep its top, bottom, and all sides unobstructed to ensure free
airflow. Rubber feet on the bottom provide adequate clearance. Ensure that there is at least 10 cm
clearance at the back to allow room for cable connections.
