Appendix B • Installing the indoor equipment using dial- up commissioning
70 1033295-0001 Revision 2
•A functioning 10/100 Ethernet interface installed on at least
one computer. This is not necessary to commission the
DW6000, but you must ensure the customer can surf before
you leave.
•A 6-foot Cat-5 Ethernet cable is supplied to connect the
DW6000 and the customer’s computer. If a longer cable is
needed the customer must supply it. Either crossover or
straight-through Cat-5 Ethernet cable can be used.
•A power strip or surge protector. If one of these is not present,
proceed with the installation using the wall outlet or other
power source.
•An analog phone line.
Summary of DW6000 installation process
The actual DW6000 installation is a 14-step process, beginning
with the site survey and ending with completing the field service
order (FSO). Refer to the appro priate antenna installation manual
for those steps involving antenna installation.
1. Qualify the customer PC with the prequalification tool.
2. Conduct site survey.
3. Customer approves site survey.
4. Assemble indoor equipment. Assemble DW6000 and connect
to laptop. Power DW6000 and laptop and verify connectivity.
5. Compute pointing coordinates using the DW6000 System
Control Center.
6. Assemble the antenna. Pre-set elevation and polarization
values.
7. Mount the satellite antenna.
8. Run cables and ground the system. Clearly label the receive
and transmit coaxial cables at the antenna, ground block, and
indoor unit connectors.
9. Receive point the antenna using the SBC interface.
Note: If the customer wants to connect a network to the
DW6000, he or she must do so via an Ethernet hub or other such
equipment. The customer must supply and configure the hub and
cables. IP address information is provided during commissioning.
Note: Sometimes the unit must be configured via the Installer
Console for various reasons. Only units installed for enterprise
customers can be configured via the Installer Console. The
installation specification will note when SBC or dial-up
commissioning is not available. In those cases, follow the
instructions in AppendixC – Installing the DW6000 using
Installer Console, on page 95.
