Appendix A
Lat/Long Decimals to Minutes Table
Use the following procedure to determine your latitude and
longitude decimal to minutes conversion when entering those
items manually during commissioning.
1. Enter the whole number part of the site's longitude into the
VSAT Longitude in degrees field in the Configure Boot
Parameters
screen.
2. Take the two digits immediately to the right of the longitude
decimal point (without doing any rounding) and use the chart
below to translate these two digits into the number of
minutes.
3. Enter the minutes number into the
VSAT Longitude in minutes
field in the
Configure Boot Parameters screen.
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 for the
VSAT Latitude in degrees and
VSAT Latitude in minutes fields.
For example, if the site's coordinates are:
Longitude: 77.2395 deg. West
Latitude: 38.8351 deg. North
You should enter:
VSAT Longitude in degrees: 77
VSAT Longitude in minutes: 14
VSAT Longitude Hemisphere (0 = East, 1 = West) <1>: 1
VSAT Latitude in degrees: 38
VSAT Latitude in minutes: 50
VSAT Latitude Hemisphere (2 = North, 3 = South) <2>: 2
