7 Prepare the outdoor unit (ODU)
1. Make sure you have a clear, clean, flat surface for assembling the Kymeta KyWay terminal.
2. Open the KyWay terminal ODU box. With two people, lift the ODU out of the case. Lift by the plastic bezel
only. Do not lift the ODU by any RF component (LNB, diplexer, or BUC) as this may damage sensitive
components and potentially void your warranty.
3. Lay the ODU on a face down on a clean level surface.
4. Attach mounting hardware and cables (depending on ODUconfiguration).
5. Refer to the Connect the cables section for further instructions.
✎Kymeta ships the terminal in two different configurations:
Configuration 1 includes the ODU unassembled as two components: the ASM and the ODUmounting plate (with
attached RFchain) uninstalled.
Configuration 2 includes the ODU assembled as one component:the ASMwith the ODU mounting plate (with
attached RF chain) installed.

8 Connect the cables
Avoid confusing the RX and TX cables. Before installing the cables, apply colored tape to each end of the cable, or install
one cable at a time. The recommended convention is RED for the TX cable and BLUE for the RX cable.Finger-tighten all
N-type and connector cables.
1. Connect the ODU interface cable 31-pin connector to the back of the ASM by carefully aligning the connector
keys on the inside bulk and on the inside of the outer ring. The connector should seat firmly without forcing it. You
may feel a slight click as the connector reaches the end of travel.
2. Connect the ODU interface cable 12-pin Amphenol connector to the 12-pin receptacle on the BUC.
3. Connect the TX cable (RED) to the BUC, hand-tighten.
4. Connect the RX cable (BLUE) to the ASM RX OUT port, hand-tighten.
5. Connect the ODU interface cable 18-pin connector to the mTenna I/O.
6. Screw an N-type to F-type adapter to the RX IN port (RX 1) connector at the back of the modem, and then
connect the the RX cable (BLUE), hand-tighten. Do not use the RX 2 port.
7. Screw an N-type to F-type adapter to the TX Out port connector at the back of the modem, and then connect the
TX cable (RED), hand-tighten.
8. Connect the Ethernet cable to the mTenna I/O and port 1 (bottom left) on the modem.
9. (optional) Connect the customer Ethernet cable to the modem (port 5-8 for DHCP).
10. Connect one power cable to the mTenna I/O and another one to the modem.
✎Use cable ties to clean up loose cables.

9 Power on the KyWay™ terminal
1. Check that all cables are connected, as shown in the Connect the cables section.
2. Power on the mTenna I/O and confirm that the power light on the front is solid green.
3. Confirm that the light on the back of the ASM is solid green.
4. Power on the modem and confirm that the Power, Status, and Temp lights on the front are solid green.
5. Wait 90 seconds and then verify that the Ethernet port 1 link light on the back side of the modem is blinking.
✎To access the ASMprior to commissioning, refer to the Kymeta mTennaᵘ⁷ Antenna Subsystem Module Software
User Guide.
10 Access the ASM
Kymeta supports Chrome and Firefox browsers.
To access the mTennau7 ASM web-based user interface, do the following:
1. Connect an available Ethernet port on your workstation to the Ethernet port 2 on the modem.
2. Configure the TCP/IPv4 properties of the Ethernet port on your workstation to use static IP address/subnet mask
of 192.168.44.3 /255.255.255.0.
3. In your browser, go to http://192.168.44.2.
4. In the Authentication Required window, provide the following credentials: username: admin, password:
2Cfg^Ant.
✎Refer to the KyWay Terminal Troubleshooting Guide, section "Cannot access the web-based UI" if you cannot
access the mTennau7 ASM web-based user interface.
The ASM automatically reboots every 7 days (software version 1.1.0.3240) or 24 hours (software version 1.0.0.2295 and
1.0.0.2210). To set the auto-reboot time based on the current user's local time zone, go to the Settings page > System
window, and then update the time in the Auto Reboot Time.
