1. Equipment required
•Notebook or laptop with updated browser
(Firefox , Chrome)
•66 mm mount
If you already have a mount, make sure it can
support the weight of the new kit too. Position the
mount facing south. Ensure there are
no obstacles in the line of sight.
•Coaxial cable
RG6 cable type for distances of less than 40m
(between the modem and the satellite dish).
For longer distances, use an RG11 cable.

1. Equipment
The Tooway Kit comprises:
TRIA TRIA MOUNT
Bracket Ground cable
Fixing Plus the modem, power supply,
devices dish and network cable .

2. Identifying geographical position for
pointing
To identify the spot configuration, go to http://finder.tooway-instal.com and
click on Coordinates.
6

2. Identifying geographical for pointing
Enter the address where the dish will be installed and save the details of:
•The spot number (which you can see in the coloured area under the image of the
satellite)
•The elevation and geographical azimuth
You should print a copy of the page for reference during installation.
Remember to refer to the Broadsat technical support in order to have the correct
parameters.

3. Assembly kit
You need the following tools:
•Socket wrench set (8mm and 13mm)
•Phillips screwdriver
•Spanner of 8mm and 13mm
Follow the instructions supplied with the kit for assembly.

4. Preparation for pointing
The fixing screws should not be fully
tightened, so they can be adjusted
at a later stage.
The fixing screw for the azimuth
should only be tightened half way.
Raise the dish to the correct position according to the pointing data identified
on the site: http://finder.tooway-instal.com
The values shown apply to a dish positioned perpendicular to the ground.

4. Preparation for pointing
Before connecting the modem, it is important to check that your computer is
configured to obtain network settings automatically.
10

4. Preparation for pointing
•connect the modem
•connect the TX output of the Tria with the
input at the back of the modem
•plug the modem into the power supply
and switch it on
•connect the network cable to your computer
11

4. Preparation for pointing
•open your browser and type in: http://192.168.100.1
•check that the single light is still yellow and the other two are green.
Eg in this picture the modem has a yellow light, the BUC receiver
has a green light and the cabling a red one.
12

4. Preparation for pointing
•open your browser and type in : http://192.168.100.1/install
•choose the beam color you have received in the activation email
from Broadsat
13

4. Preparation for pointing
•Stay on the same page and proceed to Pointing.
Make sure you don’t change the page during the pointing phase.
When pointing is complete, a NEXT button will appear.

5. Pointing (phase I)
Set up the elevation acquired on page 7,
using the back of the support as a reference,
indicated by the red mark in the picture opposite.
In the example the elevation is set at
approximately 38 degrees
Position your hands at 3 and 9 o'clock
on the disc and turn it either right or left
using the bracket as a pivot. Stop when
you hear the coupling signal from the TRIA.
When the TRIA is switched on, it emits a constant beep beep tone. As the signal reception
increases, the beeps are emitted at shorter and shorter intervals. During the coupling phase there
is a continuous tone for a few seconds and then the beeps are produced at gradually longer
intervals.
15

5. Pointing (phase I)
When the correct signal is identified, you need to attach the mount
permanently, while keeping it at the same elevation.
When the dish is fixed, it is possible to adjust the elevation, by gently pushing
the dish upwards.
Tighten the bolts in the order shown in the picture below:
1

16

5. Pointing (phase 2)
In the second pointing phase (fine pointing), you must adjust the geographical
azimuth and elevation using only a spanner.
As you approach the maximum satellite signal, you will hear the tone more
and more frequently. It is important to pass through the maximum signal
several times in order to locate the best possible pointing position.
17

5. Pointing (phase 2)
As soon as you obtain the maximum value of the azimuth pointing, secure the
dish.
18

5. Pointing (phase 2)
Repeat the procedure for the elevation
19

5. Pointing (phase 2)
The symbol for operation successfully completed will appear in the same browser
window (see page 12).
Current Rx must be higher than 10db.
Peak Rx must differ from Current Rx by a max of 0.4db.
IMPORTANT: depending on the oscillation of the power signal, the green light may switch on and off.
In any case, when 10 db is reached, proceed with the activation by clicking on the right arrow.
If the TRIA continues to beep even when the pointing is perfect, the modem will not connect to the
platform.
