FCC COMPLIANCE The VELOCITY DataBridge Terminal complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This device works in combination with an off-set horn-fed dish antenna with a maximum gain of 39.4 dB This device has been granted with the following FCC ID: 2AGKM820003-02
Danger: FCC Radio Frequency Exposure Information In order to comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements, it is required to maintain a separation distance between the user and the antenna of 11.76m (antenna main beam) and 27cm (horizontal: -10 degrees off-axis).
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

6.2. Setting up the antenna. Installation of the antenna includes the following steps: Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Step 4:
Choosing a suitable location. Mounting the antenna pole. Mounting the antenna. Pointing the antenna.
Do not stand in front of the LNB or the antenna dish during pointing. Keep the space between the LNB and the antenna dish clear.
6.2.1. Step 1: Choosing a suitable location. When setting up the antenna base, take account of the orientation the antenna must have. The antenna needs a clear, unobstructed view towards the satellite located at 117W° (without any buildings, trees - that may block the signal).
Fig.3. Antenna system.
The antenna must have clear line of sight and no obstruction blocking the path between the antenna and the satellite.
Page 10
Interactive Satellite Terminal
To aid in choosing a suitable location for the antenna, it may be helpful to know the antenna pointing information for the DataBridge satellite. That pointing information can be found in the “Smart LNB” App. The next several steps show how to get that info based on your current GPS location. Using an internet connection on your mobile phone, install “SmartLNB” App on mobile phone from Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
*It is recommended to install the App and get updated database on a strong Wifi or cell connection before going to the install location* Launch SmartLNB App and update database if needed. (App will notify if a database update is needed.)
The first screen will appear like this with the “Settings” icon in blue.
Select the “Pointing” icon. Page 11

Based upon the GPS site coordinates provided by the mobile device, scroll down for the Elevation, Azimuth and Skew (Polarization) as shown below the graph on this screen.
Scroll down for the pointing information including the Elevation, Azimuth and Skew (Polarization.)

6.2.2. Step 2: Mounting the antenna pole. When mounting the antenna pole on the base, use a level to make sure the antenna pole stands upright. The antenna pole should be made of galvanized steel. Mast pipe interface: between 1.25 inches and 2.36 inches. (Antenna’s pole diameter).
6.2.3. Step 3: Mounting the antenna. Antenna arm comprises two parts, Part 1 and Part 2. One of them holds the Outdoor unit, and the other one is screwed to the antenna dish. These two parts are joined through a junction. Rotate and screw the piece with the elevation scale. (1, B, E). Tightening: 1.5 foot pounds.

IDU Connection
Step 2 – Connect the Indoor Unit to a wall outlet through the Power Adapter provided: AC/DC Adapter, +30V / 2A. * Wait 5 minutes for the device to boot properly before making any other connections.
Wifi hotspot Smart Phone
Hotspot
Fig.21. Setup / Installation Diagram using Wifi hotspot and Smartphone (Android & IOS) ** Apply power before connecting Ethernet. Connecting RJ45 before applying power, or too soon after applying power, will result in a failure to get a solid “link” and must start over.
Step 3 - Connect Wireless Access Point (WAP) After waiting for the IDU to boot, connect a wireless router to RJ45 “LAN” port of Indoor Unit in bridge mode (Wireless WiFi Router is supplied by installer, temporarily, to complete install.)
Page 25
Interactive Satellite Terminal
If you have not already done so, install “SmartLNB” App on mobile phone from Google Play Store or Apple App Store ** Launch the App for the first time while connected to the internet (cellular or other means) to allow for updates. The App will notify if a database update is needed. Following any necessary updates, disconnect from internet (cellular or other means) and continue. *It is recommended to install the App and get the updated database on a strong Wifi or cell connection before going to the install location*
A green icon next to the chain link icon, in the upper most right corner indicates the database is up to date.
Page 26
Interactive Satellite Terminal
Step 4 - On your smart phone, connect WiFi to wireless SSID of installer supplied router ** Disable Cellular Data on smartphone. (This makes sure the smartphone does not revert to cellular network during the installation process.) Verify Link Icon in upper right is green. This may take a minute or two.
** If link icon is Red after a few minutes, power IDU down. Wait 5 minutes and start process over, waiting the appropriate times between steps.

Step 5 – Use App to Commission TO COMMISSION TERMINAL: Select E117WA (117° West) on SmartLNB App
Select SmartLNB type: Egatel
Page 28
Interactive Satellite Terminal
Select Platform: EBIS_Microspace
Wait for GPS. It may take one minute or longer. Be patient.
Enter Your Installer Name and Site Info (The “Site Info” field needs to be the Customer Name)
Page 29
Interactive Satellite Terminal
Press “Apply Settings” Button at the bottom of the page. (App will update the DataBridge firmware, if needed.)
Page 30
Interactive Satellite Terminal
Select “Pointing” icon Select “Start” Based upon the GPS site coordinates from the previous screen, scroll down for the Elevation, Azimuth and Skew (Polarization) These are shown below the graph on this screen. Use graph and audio cues to peak antenna The Audio peaking tone will begin when you are locked on the correct satellite signal.
Once peaked, tighten all bolts of Elevation, Azimuth and Polarization. Then, press the right arrow (>) icon to proceed
Page 31
Interactive Satellite Terminal
Once status is obtained, on the SmartLNB Status line look for “Tx_ready” (If you do not get the SmartLNB Status of “Tx_ready” then go back to the previous step and peak the antenna.) When the antenna is peaked properly and you have the “Tx_ready” status, then press the right arrow (>) to proceed.

INTERACTIVE SATELLITE TERMINAL VALIDATION
On “Commissioning” screen, select “Validate” to commission terminal.
* This page has the Google Homepage included to verify the terminal is commissioned. Once Validation is performed, the DataBridge is ready for the Customer’s data. 1. Remove the installer’s Wireless WiFi Router from the RJ45 port and enable the Cellular network on the smart phone. 2. Connect Customer’s Ethernet cable to RJ45 port. 3. Confirm Customer’s data is working properly.
