Complete the subscriber physical installation (at least the Subscriber Transceiver and power
inserter). Connect the coax lead from the indoor power inserter to the SSM "RX" port and a short
coax jumper from the SSM "LNB" port to the Transceiver. The SSM and the Transceiver will then
be powered from the power inserter

. Align the Transceiver by peaking the signal on the SSM's
meter, adjusting the sensitivity control on the SSM as needed.
Note that the AR100 SSM is a very broadband device which responds to energy below 500 MHz. It
will “see” all energy from few hundred MHz to at least 1900 MHz, and thus can be spoofed by a
stray signal near the Transceiver and SSM.

The external power jack on the SSM is unused.
