Page: 46 / 136

Prerequisites for commissioning
The following are prerequisites for commissioning:
• The satellite router must be physically installed.
• The antenna must be pointed, and the router must have exited pointing mode.
• Service for the router must be configured by the service provider and the NOCC, and the
terminal site name previously entered by the installer ( Figure 13: Installation Parameters
screen on page 21) must match the terminal site name configured by the service provider
and NOCC.
• The satellite router must be defined at the NOCC and authorized for commissioning by the
service provider.
Monitoring the commissioning process
Commissioning activities are performed automatically by the satellite router, the satellite, and
the NOCC. Commissioning begins when the router exits pointing mode and progresses until the
router reboots into normal operational mode. Normally, there is no need for intervention.
After you point the antenna and respond Yes on the DAPT to store the pointing information, the
router exits pointing mode and displays the Terminal Initialization Sequence screen on your
browser (
Figure 20: Terminal Initialization Sequence in progress on page 33).
The Terminal Initialization Sequence screen lists each commissioning activity and each activity’s
progress as the satellite router proceeds through the commissioning (or
initialization ) sequence.
Figure 20: Terminal Initialization Sequence in progress on page 33 shows the commissioning
process at a point when several commissioning activities have completed, but commissioning
is still underway. The activities occur in the order they are listed on the screen, top to bottom,
beginning with the self test.
