p<. *Setting aligné à droite*Setting up of the antenna*
p<. First aligné à droiteFirst of all, we have to find a location to set up the antenna. The satellite is situated at 39° elevation and 169° azimuth.
p<. With a compass, we aim the direction of the satellite. It is better if the path between the satellite and the antenna is free of threes. We p<. must have a clear area in front of the antenna to prevent any fading. After having found a location, we must set up the antenna. The mobile p<. antenna is composed of two parts: the tripod with the feeder and the reflector of the antenna. The reflector is attached to the tripod thanks p<. to 5 screws.

Next we have to aim the antenna to the good azimuth and elevation. There are two bubble spirit levels. The big one is used to adjust the planarity of the antenna; the bubble must be in the center of the spirit level.

The second one is used to adjust the elevation of the antenna. There is a compass attached to the tripod under the small spirit level. The elevation must be set to 39° and the bubble has to be put in the center of the spirit level.
p=. !compass_spirit_level_.jpg!
By now, using the compass we can aim the antenna to the satellite at 169° azimuth; we do a coarse pointing.
*Establishment of the satellite link*
Next we can connect the modem to the feeder of the antenna, supplied it and connect it with an Ethernet cable to a PC.
p=. !connections_modem_.jpg!
We can open a web page, and go to 192.168.100.1 the address of the modem. The web interface of the modem is displayed. Next we go to 192.168.100.1/install/ and we choose the cell of the location of the antenna (Toulouse is the cell #2).
p=. !cell_.png!
To be sure of the cell and the coordinates of the satellite we can visit the web page :
http://finder.tooway-instal.com/fixe/pages/index.html
and on the map we select our position and the finder will provide us the coordinates of the satellite and our cell number.
p=. !tooway_location.png!
Next we click on the next step. The modem will initiate the fine pointing. We have to rotate the reflector until reaching the satellite. The feeder emits an audible beep and when the antenna aims well to the satellite the beep becomes a continuous noise. Now the antenna has locked the satellite. The modem will initiate the connection with the logging and we will obtain the internet access point. The establishment of the satellite link will take a few minutes to the modem. We have to wait, the web interface shows the progress.

*Connection to the Ka-Sat terminal*
We can connect the modem to the router via the Ethernet port number one. Back to the terminal there is a dedicated port to connect the modem.
p=. !Internet_port_.jpg!
We can turn on the Mini PC to launch the VoIP server.
p=. !on_off_nuc_.jpg!
There are some Ethernet cables available to connect computers to the router or we can use the WiFi corresponding to the Ka-Sat terminal.
