interference from AC power lines, make sure that you DO NOT run the cables parallel with any AC power cable
(that also be inside of the roof).
IMPORTANT FEATURE - The MAGELLAN is self-contained a wireless system, which means
the location of the MAGELLAN equipment (Wi-Fi router, modems and control panel) does not
necessarily need to be near the computer workstation(s). The discussion of where to drop the
cable into the vehicle may be inside of a cabinet on the opposite side of the rig. It’s important to
fully educate your customer before a decision is made.
It is recommended to have all items (Modems,
Router and Dish Power Supply) connected to the
same power bar so that a customer may recycle
power to all items at the touch of a power bar
button. This assures a good “full system” reboot
that takes about 80-90 seconds.
Place the Wi-Fi Access Point/Router as high in the
vehicle as possible to increase its effective range.
The DW6000 modems and the MAGELLAN
connect to the router via an Ethernet cable, so it
may be located a distance from the modems.
Placement of the Remote Panel is also something to
consider. It does not require power, and connects
directly from a phone cable from the dish. When
running your wires, you may run the remote panel
wire to any location inside of the rig.
The Panel may be mounted to any surface with
Velcro or other fastening method.
4. WHAT YOU NEED FROM THE CUSTOMER IF THEY LEAVE THE INSTALL SITE
Most of the time, the customer will not be present when you are doing the bulk of your installation.
Because of this, you will absolutely need some things from them.
• Keys to the Rig (in case you need to move it).
• How to turn on and off power in the Rig
• How to turn on/off the interior lights.
• The password (if any) to their computer system.
• Their cell phone number. If they do not have a cell phone, it is wise to provide them
one.
