In those places where the only way to access the World Wide Web is a mobile phone with GPRS function, satellite Internet connection is the only way to ensure a normal working environment. And if you consider that in addition to access to the Internet, satellite equipment also allows you to watch many TV channels, it becomes clear how valuable a simple and cheap satellite dish, mounted on the wall of your house, is.
Necessary
- - computer (PC, laptop, netbook);
- - a set of satellite equipment (satellite dish, antenna cable, network card, converter);
- - cable or wireless communication;
Instructions
Step 1
Establish a connection to the Internet using the available type of "terrestrial" connection - mobile or landline phone, DSL line, USB-modem.
Step 2
Using the Internet access, collect the necessary data on satellite providers. Choose from them the one whose services you can and wish to use - taking into account the coverage map of the transponder (the area in which you live must be within the signal coverage area). Check if the surrounding buildings and trees will obstruct satellite reception.
Step 3
Record the signal characteristics of the selected satellite (symbol rate, polarization, frequency, FEC). Check the parameters of the required satellite equipment - antenna size, converter type. The latter is determined by the frequency of the signal, the size of the antenna is determined by the coverage map.
Step 4
Purchase the necessary satellite equipment: DVB card, satellite dish, antenna cable, converter, connectors.
Install the DVB-card into the computer, install the software for it, run the tuning program and enter the signal parameters into it.
Step 5
Download and install the Satellite Antenna Alignment (SAA) software on your computer. Enter the satellite parameters and the coordinates of your location into it. Write down the antenna orientation parameters given back by the program - tilt angle and azimuth.
Step 6
Install the satellite dish in a location that is accessible to the satellite signal. Fix the converter in the bracket and connect it with a cable to the DVB-card. Using the data of the SAA program, orient the antenna to the satellite. The exact orientation is carried out on the basis of the signal parameters recorded by the DVB-card tuning program. Get maximum signal strength and quality.
Step 7
Subscribe to the services of the selected provider. To do this, register on his website and go to your personal account. Select a tariff and one of the proposed methods of connecting to the Internet. Enter the MAK-address of the DVB-card in the corresponding form. Download the required software and data (IP addresses and PIDs).
In accordance with the instructions provided, install the software for the selected connection method and configure the DVB-card tuning program by entering the required data (IP-addresses, PIDs) into it.
Step 8
Make a prepayment for Internet services using any of the methods offered on the site. If the payment is successful, the transferred amount will be reflected in the personal account, and from that moment access to the satellite Internet will become possible. If it is missing, check all settings carefully. If this does not help, please contact support.
