Abstract
A method and system for installing a terrestrial antenna for a satellite communication network. In the system and method, a remote unit is provided to an installation location for the terrestrial antenna. The remote unit is configured to communicate with a satellite of the satellite communication network and includes a memory in which is stored antenna information pertaining to positioning of the terrestrial antenna with respect to a virtual beam generated by the satellite. The information is accessible by a code. Thus, the antenna information is access from the memory at the installation location using the code, and the terrestrial antenna in relation to a virtual beam generated by the satellite based on the antenna information accessed from the memory at the installation location.
