Validating The Installation; A Quick Look At The Validation Procedure - Hughes Jupiter HT1100 Installation Manual

A quick look at the validation procedure

Validating the installation

As part of every HT1100 installation you are required to validate the overall
installation (modem, antenna, cables, and connections) using the Ka-band Onsite
Validation Tool (OVT). This browser-based tool helps to ensure a high-quality
installation. If the site performance is not satisfactory, the OVT suggests corrective
actions you can take and then analyzes the results of your actions.
Important: Run the OVT on your installer laptop after the modem has completed
commissioning and registration, but before the customer activates the HughesNet
service.
The OVT helps you obtain the best possible performance for a newly installed site
by comparing current measured values from the site with target values. Before
using the OVT, you must first complete the installation to the best of your ability.
The OVT is automated, but it does require certain information and actions from you.
Online instructions and prompts guide you through the validation process.
The OVT logs the measured values and corrective actions to the Installer Support
database. When you successfully complete the OVT process, the tool issues a sign-
off code that you record on the Installation Reference Sheet.
This section summarizes how you use the HughesNet Ka-band OVT to evaluate the
performance and quality of a newly installed HT1100 site. For detailed information
on the OVT, see Installer's Guide to the Ka-Band Onsite Validation Tool (OVT)
(1038091-0001).
If for any reason you cannot access or use the OVT, call your installer support
number. To access and start the OVT:
1. Make sure your laptop computer is connected to the modem's LAN port.
2. Navigate to the Advanced Pages Terminal Installation page.
3. Click the Onsite Validation Tool
