Helpful Satellite Setup Information
Requires a constant phone line connection We offer satellite equipment in both USB and PCI kits. USB is all that can be used with a lap top We have instruction on our website at this link for set up. http://citynet.net/supportsatellite.cfm 5. The Satellite equipment kit includes everything needed for installation except RG 6 cable and a compass 6. The B2C2 PCI or USB Satellite modem card needs to be installed, then you will be prompted for the drivers of the B2C2 PCI or USB Satellite modem card (the drivers will be found on the set up CD which comes in the Kit), the next step will be to install the ISAT Platform Broadband Receiver software (the software will be found on the set up CD which comes in the Kit) – please remember that these are 2 separate installations, just installing the B2C2 PCI or USB Satellite modem card driver will not install the ISAT Platform Broadband Receiver software and vice versa. 7. PLEASE ALWAYS FOLLOW THE 9 STEPS TO FINDING SIGNAL WHICH CAN BE FOUND AT http://citynet.net/supportsignal.cfm . DOING THIS WILL CUT DOWN ON INSTALLATION TIME 8. Citynet does not provide an installer for the equipment. Citynet provides selfinstallation instructions to avoid an installers cost. However we do know that Pro TV & Audio d/b/a North Star Satellite does provide statewide satellite installations for $119.00, their toll-free number is 888 776-6679 and they also have local numbers for Eastern WV 635-0395, Clarksburg 622-7726 and Charleston 345-1003. They will also have live operators that field request 24/7. Please remember that Citynet has a self installation kit designed specifically for our customers to be able to install the equipment themselves, to avoid an installation cost of $100.00 to $150.00 for about 15 to 30 minutes that an installer would normally take to just find and lock signal. 9. When using the Satellite service one dial up account is specified only. 10. When specifying the dial-up password you can have no less that 6 characters and no more that 8 characters 11. Payment method for Satellite Service is by Credit Card ONLY! 12. Please do not select any of the other options on the Satellite software other than the steps to finding signal. This is to avoid loss of default settings that is required for finding signal. If you make the mistake of selecting one of those other settings, even just to view those settings, you can loose those settings. What you will need to do is just uninstall the Satellite software and reinstall the Satellite software which takes just a few moments and the default settings will be set back correctly. 13. Always remember that satellite connections and regular dial-up connections are setup identically except for the fact that the username on the satellite connection has to have @sat.citynet.net on the end of it. 1. 2. 3. 4.
14. Citynet Satellite Service has a built in backup, this being the connection without the @sat.citynet.net at the end of the username. Which is their regular dial-up which they can use to get to the internet 15. If you choose to run a network on the Satellite connection, that is fine however we cannot and do not support it. 16.
