1. Quick Setup
This setup is performed for an antenna system to be used in a geographical region for the first time.
The user has known Reference Satellite information.
The user does not have Reference Satellite frequencies.
2. Quick Setup Reference from Script
This setup is performed for an antenna system to be used in a geographical region for the first time.
The user has a script (that is, orbital positions and frequencies exist for the Reference Satellites and therefore can be
entered into the antenna controller).
3. Quick Setup Reference Using SkyScan
This setup is performed for an antenna system to be used in a geographical region for the first time.
There is no information for Reference Satellites.
4. After the Reference Satellites are input, the following criteria should be considered in selecting
them:
There can be up to 12 Reference Satellites in the library. A general rule is to select 3 to 4.
The antenna “rated” the satellites during the ScanSky. Reference satellite positions ending with the letter “A” are the
most desirable, then “B”, then “C”. “Z” indicates that sufficient carrier power was not found.
Try to select satellites that are low in the orbital ARC (east or west of the user’s longitude position); i.e., lower on the
horizon is better.
