General installation guidance
• Use the Starlink App to position the terminal in the
optimal direction, the app provides tilt and rotation recommendations
• Mount the antenna at the validated obstruction-free
position identified during the site survey
• Spacing: maintain a minimum of 1.5 m between
multiple Starlink antennas to avoid inter-terminal interference
• Route the cable from the terminal to the indoor
equipment following the pre-planned route from the site survey
• Power on the terminal and wait for it to initialise, this typically takes 3–5 minutes on first boot
L2VPN deployment: edge router connection
For L2VPN deployments, connect the edge router/switch directly to the
Starlink UT via RJ45 Ethernet cable.
The port on the edge device must be configured in 802.1Q trunk mode before powering up the terminal.
