Hughes SATELLITE HN9000 - Manual (Page 48)

Prerequisites for commissioning
The following are prerequisites for commissioning:
• The satellite modem must be physically installed.
• The antenna must be pointed, and the modem must have exited pointing mode.
• Service for the modem must be configured by the service provider and the NOCC, and the
terminal site name previously entered by the installer ( Figure 14: Installation Parameters
screen on page 22) must match the terminal site name configured by the service provider
and NOCC.
• The satellite modem 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 modem, the satellite, and
the NOCC. Commissioning begins when the modem exits pointing mode and progresses until
the modem 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
modem exits pointing mode and displays the Terminal Initialization Sequence screen on your
browser (
Figure 21: 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 modem proceeds through the commissioning (or initialization) sequence.
Figure 21: 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.
