2. System Connections

The iNetVu

®

New Generation Fly-1801 Antenna have been designed to operate with
the iNetVu® 7710 Controller and a 7720 Remote Drive Module (Onboard). The typical
connection configuration for each service will be the same regardless of the Satellite Modem /
VSAT. However, the configuration parameters for Satellite Modem / VSAT Communication will
differ depending on service. The user may select the connection that corresponds to his/her
preferred system setup prior to configuration. The system connections shown in this section are
for Ku systems.
