  • Page 3 This cable is called the Inter Facility Link (IFL) in the diagrams below. Leave the black rubber grommet on the RX port to keep out any moisture. 4. Once the IFL is connected to the TRIA, connect the other end to the Tooway satellite modem. Make sure the Tooway modem NOT powered.

  • Page 5 The Orange icon in the modem section indicates that it’s not online.  The IFL and TRIA should have green ticks next to them to indicate that the Tooway modem can communicate with them, and that the dish is ready to be pointed.
  • Page 6 9. Once you have confirmed that the dish is ready to point, you need to browse to another part of the modem to select the correct satellite beam for your modem to use: 192.168.100.1/install This page will ask you to select a beam colour. We will select Orange Beam 2 we got from step 1. Once you have selected the correct colour for your location click on the right arrow key.
  • Page 7 10. When you have accessed this page the beeper on the TRIA will have activated, it is now time to point the dish. Set the elevation to the suggested degrees, we will set to 30° as suggested in step 1. Mid Pole Antenna The elevation is read from the piece of metal to the left of the bolt and NOT the centre of the bolt itself.
  • Page 8 Top Pole Antenna The elevation is read from the metal end as displayed in the picture and NOT the centre of the bolt itself. For this scale to be accurate the wall bracket the dish is mounted on, must be absolutely vertical.
  • Page 9 If you scan the sky left to right and do not pick up a signal, move the elevation up/down by 1 degree and repeat the horizontal scanning. Repeat this process until you have found the satellite. 12. Fine Pointing Procedure (Azimuth): ...
  • Page 10  Once the azimuth adjustment is completed with the highest possible tone achieved, lock the top and bottom bolts. 13. Fine Pointing Procedure (Elevation)  Make sure the side bolts for the elevation movement are both loose as shown below: ...
  • Page 11  Move the dish horizontally from left to right and right to left to pick up the signal from the satellite. When the dish is not receiving any signal you will hear a “BEEP BEEP” every 3-4 seconds.  The TRIA will ring twice (like a telephone) when is has initially started to receive signal. You will also notice a change in the beeping sound.
  • Page 12  Start by moving the dish in one direction, if you hear the tone dropping, stop and move the dish in the opposite direction until the tone increases to a higher pitched tone, continue until the tone drops again, then stop and go back the opposite direction until best highest possible tone is achieved.
  • Page 13  Loosen the top nut on the elevation arm.  Start by moving the dish in one direction, if you hear the tone dropping, stop and move the dish in the opposite direction until the tone increases to a higher pitched tone, continue until the tone drops again, then stop and go back the opposite direction until best highest possible tone is achieved.
  • Page 14 Typically this figure needs to be about 9dB for the modem to activate, however the better signal the modem is receiving the better your future connection to the internet will be. As you can see, on our demo dish we have an Rx SNR of 13.6dB. (N.B. accepting a signal below 11.5-13dB will impact your system performance).
  • Page 15 Once the modem has again selected the correct spot beam colour it will start to synchronize with the satellite. See below: Once the modem displays as “Online” your computer will receive a new IP address from the network. 20. Now you need to navigate to the Skylogic Self Activation page to activate the modem. You can do this by trying to browse to any website and you will then be re-directed to this page.
  • Page 16 21. The system will now perform system check to verify quality of installation. Once this is completed you will receive a status report with an “OK” in the status bar. Then click on continue to finish activation. If it is a brand new modem the system will display an “outdated” text in the software column.
  • Page 17 23. Once you go through steps 17 – 18 again, this time the system should show the Software as being “Updated”. Click on continue. 24. Next you will be required to enter the activation code we have supplied you with. The activation code will look something like this 855-asiyeuoo (855-followed by 8 assorted letters).
  • Page 18 NB: If you move the location of the Tooway dish, you will need to repeat the complete installation procedure. If you move more than a couple of miles, you may then be in a different beam and will need to reassess which beam is applicable to the new location.
