INPUT DATA WINDOW
GPS – The Input Data window shows that GPS has been acquired. (The GPS Antenna is
located inside of the HughesNet Dish LNB cover at the end of the dish arm). It
sometimes takes a minute for GPS to be read after the dish is booted.
Vehicle Heading - shows a magnetic heading of 117.3 degrees. This should match a
handheld compass. If not, you will want to click on the “Compass Calibration” link on
the bottom of the “Status” window seen above.
Satellite – This shows that your modems are set to acquire satellite 99 (99 degrees
longitude, or satellite G11). DW7000 uncommissioned modems will show Satellite 99 as
the default satellite. If you have a satellite reading of 0.0, then it means that your
HughesNet modems are not responding. You can check this by clicking on the “Hughes
Modems” link on the Status Window. If the Hughes DW7000 administration screen does
not appear, then check to see the modems are connected to the Linksys router and reboot
the Magellan by unplugging it from the power bar.
OVERRIDE
Clicking on this link in the Input Data Window brings up the screen below.
You may manually override any of the selected options. For use in commissioning your
modems, you will select your chosen satellite from the “Satellite Transponders” drop
down box.
