Install a ground block in a convenient location anywhere between the dish and prior to entering the home. It is permissible to locate the ground block inside the home, but it should be as close to the point of entry as possible. If unable to purchase a ground block to accept all inputs and outputs, it will be required to add additional ground blocks as needed to accommodate all the connections.
Install a 10 copper wire between the house ground point ground rod, electric meter, etc. These two points must be connected together. Use a clamp designed for the purpose to connect the 10 wire to the house's ground point.
Do not under any circumstances disconnect or loosen existing ground connections to install the new 10 wire. Leave enough ground wire to "thread" through each ground block s ground terminal. Route the cable and secure with staples to the mounting surface. Securely tighten the ground terminal screw to the ground wire. Run coax cables from each of the dish's output terminals into one side of the ground block. Run the same number of cables that were run into the ground block, between the ground block and a central location.
A utility closet, a point near the telephone distribution block or electrical panel area is ideal. Label the coax cables "dish" or other meaningful manner. Be sure to label the coax from a roof top antenna if extended from the ground block. Run cables from each tuner to the central location. Affix labels to each of the cables - if two cables are connected to a single set top box, such as the case for a TiVO or DVR in a living room, label the cables "LR1" and the other "LR2" or some other meaningful term.
Select a multiswitch by determining how many inputs and outputs are needed. The number of inputs equals the number of LNBs on the dish plus one.
A dual LNB dish would require a three input multiswitch. The extra input is to mix in an "off air" antenna or CATV signal. The number of outputs of the multiswitch equals the number of tuners not the number of receivers or set top boxes in your system. Of course, if you add another receiver later, you'll need a multiswitch that has additional outputs.
Try to buy a multiswitch with enough extra outputs to allow your system to "grow". Cascadable multiswitches can be installed "down line" from other multiswitches, but must be identified for that use. It is the arm at whose end the LNB is placed stably so that it can be oriented according to the reception parameters. It is attached to the wall bracket, to the mast of a collective antenna, or to the mast of the floor of a terrace, usually by means of U-bolts or very resistant jaws.
It is also used to place the plate anchors and the height adjustment systems of the plate. The height regulator It allows to orientate the height of the plate for the correct reception according to the satellite. It has some through screws with nuts that can be loosened and tightened to adjust the orientation. The azimuth regulator. The wall or mast support usually a cylindrical tube is the axis that allows the azimuth to be adjusted with respect to the satellite, starting from the north cardinal point or the magnetic north.
To do this you have to rotate the structure with the plate around it. Its manipulation allows to capture the satellite signals, combining it with the height of the parabola.
The azimuth adjustment is made clockwise or counterclockwise. The wire. When installing a satellite dish, it is essential to use the correct cable. You must use a coaxial cable of satellite quality, somewhat thicker than the one used inside, with its corresponding connectors. In the cable sheath you will find information about its uses. The satellite receiver It is the device that transforms the signal received by the antenna so that it can be seen on televisions.
It is the point at which the coaxial cable arrives from the satellite dish, and from which the cable that goes to the TV comes out. It is best to make this connection with HDMI, so that there is no loss of sharpness in the image. In addition, with a cable or wireless connection you can receive Internet services that are contracted with the telephone company.
Does your building have a home automation network and do you want to install a satellite dish? The installation wiring can be used to channel the antenna cable to your home if they give you the corresponding authorization.
In a single-family home, you will only have to attend to the possible urban norms. Once each part of the kit has been identified, it is time to mount the parabolic and then install it at the appropriate point.
In general, the steps are as follows:. Step 1. Fix the anchor legs of the support to the back of the plate: normally it is placed with four through screws and four nuts. Do it with their corresponding screws and nuts. Tighten the screw with a flat wrench. Put the LNB, but do not tighten at all until regular. Before installing the satellite dish on the wall of any common element of a community of neighbors, you must inform yourself if it has specific rules for its placement.
Normally it only affects aesthetics, but in some cases in historical buildings, for example the regulations may be stricter. You should also inform yourself before placing it on the street, in case the city council imposed conditions.
The final step when installing an Antenna is to put it in place. The process is as follows:. Step 2. With a bubble level, place the bracket on the wall to mark the anchor points. You must start and enable a time synchronizer on the host operating system to minimize the effects of time drift.
Two time synchronizers are available: NTP and chrony. Each of these has its advantages. NTP is recommended for systems that are expected to remain in running states and that are expected to be connected to a network without interruption. You should install the sos package on the host operating system.
The sos package enables you to collect configuration and diagnostic information from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system. You can also use it to provide the initial system analysis, which is required when opening a service request with Red Hat Technical Support.
For more information on using sos, see the Knowledgebase solution What is a sosreport and how to create one in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. The initial configuration creates an organization, location, user name, and password. After the initial configuration, you can create additional organizations and locations if required. The installation process can take tens of minutes to complete. If you are connecting remotely to the system, consider using a utility such as screen that allows suspending and reattaching a communication session so that you can check the installation progress in case you become disconnected from the remote system.
The Red Hat Knowledgebase article How to use the screen command describes installing screen ; alternately see the screen manual page for more information. Use the satellite-installer --scenario satellite --help command to display the available options and any default values. If you do not specify any values, the default values are used. It is recommended to specify a meaningful value for the option: --foreman-initial-organization. This may be your company name. An internal label that matches the value is also created and cannot be changed later on.
You can rename the organization name but not the label. By default, all configuration files configured by the installer are managed by Puppet. When satellite-installer is rerun, any manual changes to the Puppet managed files will be overwritten with the initial values. You can use answer files to automate installations with customized options. The initial answer file is sparsely populated and after you run satellite-installer the first time, the answer file is populated with the standard parameter values for installation.
If you have been installing in a disconnected environment, unmount the ISO images. The Customer Portal page for Satellite Server provides the ability to collect a group of subscriptions and attach them to the Satellite for distribution to managed systems. To do that, create a Subscription Manifest for your Satellite Server. Creating a Manifest.
You cannot create a new Subscription Manifest if you have no active subscriptions. This can be a Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription. If you do not have the correct subscription the Create a Satellite button will be greyed out. Click Attach Selected. Uploading a Manifest to Your Satellite Server. When you have completed this section, you can enable repositories and import Red Hat content. This is a prerequisite for some of the following procedures.
The following items are some highlights and limitations of the feature:. Registering a Satellite to Itself. When the subscription is in the manifest, the appropriate Satellite repositories can be synchronized into the Satellite.
Using the Satellite web UI:. Navigate to the required repositories. Click each repository set from which you want to select repositories and select the check box for each required repository. The repository is automatically enabled.
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 the repositories that need to be enabled are:. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 the repositories that need to be enabled are:.
You can enable the repositories required for the Satellite Server by using the following command:. Click Synchronize Now to starting synchronizing. The status of the synchronization process will appear in the Result column. If synchronization is successful, Sync complete will appear in the Result column. If synchronization failed, Error syncing will appear. Content synchronization can take a long time. The length of time required depends on the speed of disk drives, network connection speed, and the amount of content selected for synchronization.
Optionally, create a Content View to represent the Satellite Server. This will allow the Satellite to follow the same life cycle management procedures as the rest of the content on the server.
Register the Satellite Server, and attach the appropriate entitlements. When registering the Satellite Server, you must specify the organization to which the server belongs, and the life cycle environment.
You will be prompted for your Red Hat Satellite user name and password. The Satellite Server administrator can configure new users. A content host has now been created for the Satellite Server inside of the Satellite Server. Install the Katello Agent package to allow errata management and package installation through the Satellite web UI. The katello-agent package depends on the gofer package that provides the goferd service.
The goferd service must be running so that the Red Hat Satellite Server or Capsule Server can provide information about errata that are applicable for content hosts. To install the katello-agent run the following command:. Ensure goferd is running:. The Satellite Tools repository provides the katello-agent and puppet packages for clients registered to Satellite Server.
Installing the katello agent is recommended to allow remote updates of clients. The base system of a self-registered Satellite Server or of a Capsule Server is a client of Satellite Server and therefore should also have the katello agent installed. Find and expand the Red Hat Satellite Tools 6.
If the Red Hat Satellite Tools 6. To correct that, log in to the Customer Portal, add these repositories, download the Subscription Manifest and import it into Satellite. Enable the Satellite Tools repository for every supported major version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux running on your hosts. After enabling a Red Hat repository, a Product for this repository is automatically created. A list of product repositories available for synchronization is displayed. Run satellite-installer with the HTTP proxy options.
For more information on SELinux port settings, see Section 2. When you enable the baseboard management controller BMC module on Satellite Server, you can use power management commands on managed hosts using the intelligent platform management interface IPMI or a similar protocol.
The BMC service enables you to perform a range of power management tasks. In many instances the BMC functionality is built into chassis-based systems as part of chassis management a dedicated module in the chassis. If you want to configure external services, see Chapter 5, Configuring External Services for more information.
If you want to disable these services in Satellite in order to manage them manually, see Section 3. To view a complete list of configurable options, run the satellite-installer --scenario satellite --help command.
The information in the task is an example. You should use the information relevant to your own environment. Run satellite-installer with the options appropriate for your environment. The status of the installation is displayed.
You can view the user name and password in the command output. Any changes to the settings require running satellite-installer again. You can run the script multiple times and it updates all configuration files with the changed values.
