Step 5: Searching for the Satellite
| Searching for the Satellite |
> Open your internet browser and type in the new IP address of the D2 [in this case
192.168.1.250].
> The D2’s status page will appear. There are two things you could see:
| A good search screen will show a‘0’next to signal quality, TX status will read
‘Transmitter unavailable due to receive signal problem’, RX will read
‘Receiver not locked to a signal’.
| A screen that reads error-25 indicates the D2 is waiting for the modem.
This is temporary and will refresh to be able to search.
> After confirming the system status readings you need to make sure the
status buttons read good for a satellite search:
> The LNB, LAN, GPS, and STOW* lights should be lit.
*[Stow can only be lit if a stow operation has been done.]
> With all these criteria met you can now click‘Search’.
> During a search, signal quality will read‘0’. If you see ANY signal quality,
you’re on the right satellite and the DataStorm will peak accordingly with
typical high signal quality.
> When the DataStorm has finished peaking, the system status will read
‘Search Operation Completed’ and the ‘Ready’ light will be lit. This indicates
that a connection to the Internet has been attained.
