2 Antenna Installation
2.1 Step 1: Choosing a Suitable Location
Outdoors: Antenna & iLNB
•When setting up the antenna base, take into account the orientation of the antenna.
Orientation data is provided by your Service Provider.
•The antenna must have a clear view towards the satellite
(without any buildings, trees,... that may hinder the signal).
•To connect the iLNB to the Modem, use a coax cable. You can use the provided coax cable,
or a coax cable with the same specifications as described in the Terminal Specifications
available on the CD. The coax cable included in the box is 30 meters long.
Indoors: Modem and computer
Put the Modem indoors in a dry room and connect to:
•The antenna (with the coax cable);
•Your computer (with a network cable). Use the network cable provided in the box or a cable
of your choice (for example if you need a longer cable to connect the modem to your
computer);
•A wall outlet (with the power adapter provided in the box).
Power adapter specifications: universal input range 100-240 Volt, 50-60Hz.
These steps are described further in this document.

2.2 Step 2: Mounting the Antenna Pole
Material you have to provide yourself
•A solid base for the antenna, made of concrete or firmly attached to a wall;
•An antenna pole.
Antenna pole requirements
•The antenna pole must be installed on a solid base and made of galvanized steel;
•Minimum diameter: 45mm (60mm recommended);
•Maximum diameter: 70mm.
When fixing the antenna pole to the base, use a spirit level to make sure the antenna pole stands in a
