Step 1 - Choosing a suitable location
Outdoors: antenna
- When setting up the antenna base, take account of the orientation the antenna must have.
Orientation data are available in the Antenna Pointing Information document.
- The antenna needs a clear view towards the satellite (without any buildings, trees... that may
hinder the signal).
- To connect the antenna to the IPmodem, you will use a coax cable. You can use the provided
coax cable or a coax cable with the same specifications as described in the Terminal User
Manual on the CD.
- The coax cable connecting the antenna to the IPmodem must not exceed 30 meters. The coax
cable included in the box is 30 meters long.
About your Astra2Connect Terminal
For more information on the Astra2Connect Terminal, refer to the section Getting to know your
Astra2Connect Terminal in the Manual for Astra2Connect terminal (available on the CD included in
the box).
Indoors: IPmodem and computer
Put the IPmodem in a dry room.
Indoors, you will need to connect the IPmodem:
-To the antenna (with the coax cable);
-To your computer (with a network cable). You can use the network cable provided in the box
or a cable of your choice (for example if you need a longer cable to connect the IPmodem to
your computer);
-To a wall outlet (with the power adapter provided in the box).
Power adapter specifications: universal input range 100-240 Volt, 50-60Hz.
These steps are described further in this document.

Tool can produce various sounds, each having a specific meaning described below.
You will thus need to put on the headphone whenever needed during the pointing procedure.
Ensure that the volume of the Point&Play
®
tool is not set too loudly, otherwise damage
to your hearing may occur.
Possible tones are:
Correct tone
High uninterrupted tone (correct tone)
The antenna points to the correct satellite and is receiving the strongest signal: you have
the optimal pointing position.
Higher interrupted tone
The antenna points to the correct satellite but does not receive the strongest signal so
far. As soon as you hear this tone, you are sure that the antenna points to the correct
satellite.
Low uninterrupted tone
The antenna points to a wrong satellite and receives the strongest signal so far.
Very low uninterrupted tone
The antenna is not pointing to a satellite and has not been pointing to the correct
satellite yet.

Rough pointing: vertical (elevation)
Important notes
- The procedures relating to rough horizontal and vertical pointing are described below in a
sequential way. In reality, you will have to perform these two procedures simultaneously.
- Whenever the procedure tells you to loosen a securing bolt or nut, slacken it just enough to
allow the corresponding element to move freely.
- While performing this vertical rough pointing, you will need to hold the antenna to prevent it
from inadvertently losing its position.
1 In the Antenna Pointing Information document, first check the elevation for the city
closest to your location.

Checking the antenna pointing
Perform the following checks to make sure the antenna will resist external movements (wind...):
1 Make sure all bolts are tightly secured.
2 Shortly place your hand between the iLNB and the dish. As soon as you remove your hand,
you should hear the continuous high pitch tone again.
3 Apply some pressure on the antenna to make the edges move about 3 cm on the left hand
side, right hand side and at the top, then release it.
If the antenna is still pointing correctly, you will hear the continuous high pitch tone again. If
not, repeat the pointing procedure from the section Rough pointing: horizontal
(azimuth) (page 36) until you obtain optimal signal.
4 When the antenna is pointing correctly, the message
Correct satellite - pointed
optimallly
is displayed on the screen of your PC, as shown in the following picture.
