6.4.4 Fine Adjustment of Antenna Pointing and Polarization
After the initial IDU output power level has been found, the pointing and polarization of the antenna
should be finely adjusted based on feedback from the system operator.
1. Fine-tune the pointing and polarization of the antenna based on the feedback from the system
operator.
2. After the fine adjustment of the antenna, the received signal level should again be verified by
consulting the system operator and the IDU output power level should be adjusted as necessary.
3. Click the Save button on the satellite configuration page to save the configuration.
6.5 Test of Connection to Hub
After the line-up procedure in section 9.3 (or alternatively, Appendix I.1) has been successfully
completed, the VSAT is ready to log on to the Hub.
The VSAT is only allowed to log on to the network if its DVB MAC address is registered at the Hub.
Registration of the VSAT‘s MAC address at the Hub is a network operator's responsibility. The DVB
MAC address of the VSAT can be found under the Device option on the SatLink web interface home
page or it can be found on the label underneath the VSAT chassis. The MAC address is also shown on the
CLI message displayed during the boot procedure of the VSAT.
Example:
# device show
