Calibration of the SAILOR 900 VSAT
6.2 Calibration of the SAILOR 900 VSAT
You must align the ADU with the vessel’s gyro compass. To do this,
you make an azimuth calibration, i.e. you determine the offset of the
ADU zero direction to the bow-to-stern line of the ship. This
procedure is fully automatic.
You can enter the satellite data for calibration directly on the
calibration page or you can define a Service profile to be used in the
calibration. After the calibration you create the satellite and VSAT
modem profiles you want to use during normal operation, and you
can set up blocking zones for the specific installation.
Important
For a detailed introduction to the web interface see Overview and
navigation on page 6-14.
The following sections describe the steps for a successful
calibration:
• Preparing for calibration
• Heading and calibration of azimuth and cable
• Flow chart for azimuth and cable calibration
• Line up procedure
You must logon as an administrator to do a
calibration. See Administration on page 6-43.

6.2.1 Preparing for calibration
To prepare for calibration you can set up a service profile for
calibration. Use this approach if you do not want to enter the
satellite parameters directly on the calibration page.
To setup a service profile do as follows:
1. Select SETTINGS > Satellite profiles > New entry. Enter the name
of the satellite profile for calibration (a name of your own choice).
2. Select the VSAT modem profile Service & Calibration from the
drop-down list.
