The main tasks required to install an DW6000 are summarized below. For dialup commissioning, the customer should have an analog phone line and a functioning Ethernet interface.

Assemble and install the satellite antenna. Run cables from the outdoor components to the indoor equipment. Clearly label the receive and transmit coaxial cable at the antenna, ground block, and indoor unit connectors.

Connect the DW6000 to the installer PC Ethernet port and power up the DW6000. Use surge protectors.

Perform antenna pointing and automatic cross pol.

Start commissioning the unit, using either SBC or Websetup if SBC is not available. Register the customer and select subscription options.

Transfer of parameter information to DW6000. Exit Websetup.

Reboot the DW6000 to finish registration.

Disconnect installer laptop PC and connect the DW6000 to the customer’s computer.

Verify customer operation, information recorded on Quick Start Guide cover, icon placed on customer PC desktop, customer surfed to myDIRECWAY.COM and downloaded DW6000 User Guide, and receive and transmit cable labeling. Optional: assist in customer computer configuration.
