optimally pointed.
Pointing Interface
Use the Control Pad to optimally fine point the antenna. The Control Pad pointing
screen has a signal strength bar graph and numeric value to assist in accurate antenna
screen has a signal strength bar graph and numeric value to assist in accurate antenna
pointing. The orange peak-hold bar at the end of the blue bar identifies the highest
signal strength measured during antenna pointing and will help you optimize the
signal strength measured during antenna pointing and will help you optimize the
pointing direction.
Signal Strength Bar Graph
Note:
The power light must be flashing red/amber or amber/green. If this is not
the case, turn the Satellite IP Modem off and then back on to re-enter the
