If the measurements do not meet the defined installation criteria, VACS records the
measurements and leaves the VSAT in CW mode for performing further co-pol or
cross-pol alignment. Press 1 to continue or 2 to repeat.
Aligning the Co-pol. Adjust the azimuth, elevation, and polarization of the dish to get
the maximum co-pol carrier-to-noise (C/N) ratio. VACS takes a series of readings and
sends the readings to the phone. The readings update every two seconds. To align the
dish, move the dish slowly until you hear the highest reading. Press 2 to hear the
maximum reading or # to quit and replay the Alignment menu.
Aligning the Cross-pol. Use this option to get the minimum cross-pol C/N. Rotate the
LNB/ODU assembly slowly until you hear the minimum reading. The reading updates
every two seconds. Adjust the azimuth and elevation, if necessary, to get the reading
below the minimum requirement. Press 1 to hear the current co-pol C/N reading. Press
2 to hear the minimum reading. Press # to quit and replay the alignment menu. After
tightening the screws on the VSAT, take the co-pol and cross-pol readings again to be
sure that the assembly has not moved.
Get Confirmation Number. To get a confirmation number, choose Option 3,
Get Confirmation Number, of the Install menu . VACS plays the telephone number to
call for the commissioning group (1-800-443- 5834). The commissioning group gives
you a release number for completing the VSAT installation.
Finish Later. To stop work and finish commissioning at a later time, choose
Option 4, Finish Later, of the Install menu. VACS saves the current information so that
you can call back and resume the installation.
