process. Occasionally, new satellites are activated to support
system service. Therefore, installers may be required to either
upload an
sbc.cfg
file to the remote terminal prior to
installation or to manually enter satellite parameters during
installation.
If a new
sbc.cfg
file is available when a satellite is activated,
the installer must obtain the file (for example, by downloading it
from an installation support FTP or web site) and save it on the
installer laptop
prior to commissioning . Once the commissioning
process has been completed, the
sbc.cfg
is uploaded to the
remote terminal.
If there is no new
sbc.cfg
file available, the installer will
receive the new satellite parameters either in a technical update
e-mail or an installation specification. In either case, the installer
enters the new satellite parameters manually.
Satellite-based commissioning procedures are provided in
Chapter 4 –
Commissioning the HX50/HX100 Remote Terminal .
Manual commissioning The installer should only commission a terminal manually if
instructed to do so by the service provider. For manual
commissioning, the installer enters the appropriate configuration
parameters on the Manual Commissioning page of the terminal’s
web-based interface, then uses the interface to fine-point the
antenna.
Manual commissioning procedures are provided in
Chapter 4 – Commissioning the HX50/HX100 Remote Terminal .
