SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 22
Upon startup, a SkyGateway or SkyExtender searches for a GPS signal,
and if the device can’t detect a signal, it will be unable to complete
startup and won’t establish wireless connections with other devices.
You can configure a SkyGateway or SkyExtender even if the device
can’t detect a GPS signal. While the device is searching for the GPS
signal, press the TILDE key (~) to bypass the search; the device will
then proceed through the startup sequence.
NOTE The GPS search should be bypassed only for device
configuration, not for standard operation. Without a GPS
signal, data will not be reliably transmitted between
devices.
The LEDs on the base of the device will confirm availability of a GPS
signal. For more information on the LEDs and GPS signal acquisition, see
“Monitoring the Power-On Sequence” on page 27.
Mounting
The first step of physically installing the SkyGateway or SkyExtender is
to mount the device as described below.
NOTE The figures in this section show the SkyGateway. For
SkyExtender, DualBand, and TriBand installations, your view
will differ slightly, allowing for antenna access through the
cable covers.
To mount the SkyGateway/SkyExtender:
1 Attach a magnetic level to the 1.25” to 2.0” diameter steel
mounting pole to verify that the pole is plumb (straight).
IMPORTANT The figures in this section show the SkyGateway.
For SkyExtender, DualBand, and TriBand installations,
your view will differ slightly, allowing for antenna access
through the cable covers.
