2. Select a method for mounting the antenna.
3. Install the antenna mount. 

4. Install the IDU. 

5. Determine the pointing values (azimuth, elevation, 

 

and polarization) – Chapter 3

6. Install the Az/El and reflector bracket assembly on the 

mast – Chapter 3

7. Install the antenna reflector – Chapter 3
8. Install the feed rods and feed support tube – Chapter 3

For the steps not shown in bold type, see the following section, 
Tasks related to antenna installation. 

Follow all steps in the order they are presented. Do not tighten 
any hardware until you are instructed to do so.

Note:

A critical requirement is that the mast must be plumb. 

The antenna assembly cannot be adjusted to correct for a mast 
that is not plumb.

Note:

Install the IDU before installing the antenna so you 

can use the installation software to determine the pointing 
values (azimuth, elevation, and polarization).

Note:

The J-type and cradle-type radio assemblies are 

described in Radio assembly types on page 15.

Note:

Outdoor unit (ODU) refers to the antenna, radio assembly, 

and antenna mount.
