You have to fix the reflector (the concave part of the antenna) on the support, then fix the LNB (the sensor which receives the signals from the satellite) and the BUC (the transmitter which sends the signals to the satellite) on the arm of the antenna. You also need to connect the coaxial cable to the LNB and the BUC.<\/li>\n<li>Install the antenna on a solid support, such as a mast, wall or roof. It must be ensured that the antenna is horizontal and that it can pivot freely. It is also necessary to fix the coaxial cable along the support to prevent it from being damaged or interfering with the rotation of the antenna.<\/li>\n<li>Orient the antenna towards the satellite using the compass or compass. You need to know the satellite coordinates (azimuth and elevation), which are provided by the satellite internet service provider. Azimuth is the horizontal angle between north and the direction of the satellite, and elevation is the vertical angle between the horizon and the direction of the satellite. It is therefore necessary to adjust the antenna according to these two angles, using the adjustment screws located on the antenna support.<\/li>\n<li>Connect the modem to the power supply and to the coaxial cable coming from the antenna. Also connect the modem to the computer or router via an Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi connection.<\/li>\n<li>Turn on the modem and wait for it to synchronize with the satellite. The modem generally indicates its status by indicator lights. When the &#8220;satellite&#8221; light is green, it means that the connection is established.<\/li>\n<li>Open a web browser on the computer or router and access the home page of the satellite internet service. You usually need to identify yourself with a user name and password provided by the service provider.<\/li>\n<li>Take advantage of satellite internet!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1>Who is AFRIKANET?<\/h1>\n<p>AFRIKANET is a UK based company, providing satellite internet solutions tailored to the needs and budgets of every customer in Africa.
