Now that you have installed the hardware, you will need to setup, calibrate and commission the antenna.
You may also need to load/update the modem option file, which is not part of the scope of this manual, contact
the airtime provider NOC for guidance.
At the very least, you will need to set up the antenna system for:
•
Connect & configure a ships computer for accessing the MXP.
•
The gyro compass signal being provided by the ship.
•
The tracking receiver frequency settings for the satellite to be used (configure satellites).
•
Set up / configure all satellites that the system might use as the ship travels.
•
Check/Set Home Flag Offset.
•
Set up Blockage zone(s) as needed.
•
Acquire the desired satellite.
•
Optimize targeting (Auto or manual trim).
•
Arrange for commissioning & cross-pol isolation testing with the NOC.
•
Conduct cross-pol isolation testing with the NOC.
•
Conduct other commissioning testing with the NOC (ie P1dB compression point).
•
If this is a Dual Antenna installation configuration, you will have to balance the TX levels of the two
antennas while online with the NOC (refer to procedure in the Dual Antenna Arbitrator manual).
•
It is strongly recommended that you down, and save, the system INI file (contains all of the system
parameters). Save this file in a convenient location.
