7 Prepare the outdoor unit (ODU)
1. Make sure you have a clear, clean, flat surface for assembling the Kymeta u7 terminal.
2. Open the u7 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.
⚠The diplexer is a precision tuned piece of RF equipment and not a structural member of the u7 terminal.
Kymeta recommends that installers, integrators, and handlers of the terminal do not lift or hold the terminal
by using any of the RF chain as a handle or grip.
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.

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 antenna 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 seats into place.
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 antenna RX OUT port, hand-tighten.
5. Connect the ODU interface cable 18-pin connector to the I/O box.
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 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 I/O box 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 I/O box and another one to the modem.
✎Use cable ties to clean up loose cables.

9 Power on the u7 terminal
1. Check that all cables are connected, as shown in the Connect the cables section.
2. Power on the I/O box and confirm that the power light on the front is solid green.
3. Confirm that the light on the back of the antenna 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.

Kymeta supports Chrome and Firefox browsers.
To access the u7 antenna web-based user interface, do the following:
1. Connect an available Ethernet port on your laptop to the Ethernet port 2 on the modem.
2. Configure the TCP/IPv4 properties of the Ethernet port on your laptop 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.
✎When you connect directly to the antenna through the I/O box via Ethernet, set your laptop IP address to
192.168.0.11, and reach the antenna at the IP address 192.168.0.10.
✎Refer to 700-00020-000 Kymeta™ u7 terminal troubleshooting guide, section "Cannot access the web-based
UI" if you cannot access the antenna.
The u7 antenna automatically reboots every 7 days. 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 field.
