• A functioning 10/100 Ethernet interface installed on at least
one computer. This is needed to 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 if not using SBC.
DW6000 installation
methods There are two ways to install the DW6000.
• Satellite-based commissioning (SBC) is now the preferred
method. In this new method, all commissioning is done over
the satellite connection. No installer software is required.
Assemble and install the system using the instructions below.
• If SBC is not available and an analog phone line is available,
use the DIRECWAY installer software and your laptop to
commission the system. See Appendix B – Installing the
indoor equipment using dial-up commissioning, on page 69.
Summary of DW6000
installation process The actual DW6000 installation is a 15-step process. Refer to the
appropriate antenna installation manual for those steps involving
antenna installation.
1. Qualify customer PC with qualification tool.
2. Conduct site survey.
3. Customer approves site survey.
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 Appendix C – Installing the DW6000 using
Installer Console, on page 95.
