2. Installing the VSAT
This chapter describes performing arrival activities, Section 2.1, and performing the
VSAT installation, Section 2.2.
2.1 Pre-installation Activities
NOTE: Contact your Spacenet area manager immediately if there is any
question about a clear line-of-sight to the satellite.
Coordinate your arrival with the store manager. Installations are scheduled for a specific
time and date. Meet with the site manager or other point of contact (POC) when you
arrive. Provide the Store Manager a copy of the authorization letter from the Installation
Guide. Perform a pre–installation survey with the site manager and briefly explain the
installation process.
NOTE: Have the Store Manager go to the secondary register and type 414
and press the F2 Key. This keeps register 2 available for checkout.
Determine the best location for the VSAT ODU. Locate IDU in cabinet under Server
Register (1) , identify a power source for it. Determine where to run the IFL cable.
Inform the store manager of your plans. If the manager refuses to let work begin or if
the installation must be rescheduled, contact your Spacenet area manager. The AM will
attempt to clear up any issues with Dollar General Personnel.
2.2.2 Performing the VSAT Installation
NOTE: THE INSTALLER IS NOT TO REQUEST ANY STORE PERSONNEL
TO EITHER OPEN EARLY OR STAY LATE TO FACILITATE THIS
INSTALLATION.
NOTE: It is important to schedule the installation in a manner that you will be
able to complete installation in one visit.

Determine the best type of antenna mount to use for the installation and follow the
instructions in the Spacenet VSAT Installation Guide. Most installations will use a
non–penetrating roof mount.
