Optimizing location
After powering on the SkyConnector, use the device’s LEDs to identify the
optimal location for mounting.
Confirm signal acquisition
 Position the SkyConnector near the intended mounting location and
watch the WAN Act LED for activity.
The LED starts to blink when it has acquired a signal from the network and is
attempting to set up a connection.
If the WAN Act LED does not start blinking within 30 seconds, try changing
the orientation of the SkyConnector or walk to a new location; then repeat
the process until the LED begins blinking.
When the LED starts blinking, make minor adjustments to find the location
where the signal is strongest. (The faster the LED blinks, the stronger the
signal.)
When the WAN Act LED blinks steadily and at a high rate, you have an
optimal signal. Go to the next section to verify the network connection.
Verify network connection
 Watch the WAN Link LED for activity.
Within approximately 90 seconds of locating a signal, the WAN Link LED
should start to blink—first slowly, then more quickly.
When the WAN Link LED is solid and the WAN Act LED is blinking, the
SkyConnector has established an authorized connection to the network,
indicating that the current location is suitable for mounting
If both the WAN Act LED and the WAN Link LED continuing blinking, a signal
is available but is not strong enough for reliable service. Keep trying different
locations until you can confirm a network connection.
NOTE To optimize your SkyConnector installation, ask your network
administrator (at the Network Operations Center) to measure
signal strength on the node to which the SkyConnector has
established a link.
