SABRETM Shield Installation Guide
Establishing a connection with the BGAN network requires the careful
orientation of the SABRETM I Remote terminal towards the satellite, a process
called antenna pointing.
To perform antenna pointing, you will need a compass and the following
information from the Web Console:
yPointing Angle (Azimuth and Elevation)
ySignal stength indicator bar
With the SABRE™ I Web Console launched, follow these steps to register with
the network:
1. Select the satellite that you want the SABRETM I Remote terminal to point to.
2. Rotate the terminal left or right until it points in the correct horizontal
direction as indicated in the Azimuth reading with the aid of a compass.
3. Tilt the terminal slowly up or down until it points in the correct vertical
direction as indicated in the Elevation reading.
4. With the aid of the Signal indicator bar on the Web Console, fine tune the
pointing direction to obtain the maximum signal strength.
