4.25.4 Manual Handoff From Service Area
The Service Area handoff command is useful when it becomes necessary to test or force the
modem to a different satellite. To Force a Handoff of a selected service area, click on Handoff
from the bottom of the menu and enter desired Id from the list of service areas.
After entering the desired service area Id number from the list, a second list of all the Service
Bounds contained in the SA is displayed. Enter the Service Bound Id number from the displayed
list. Next select Force Manual Mode if the SA Id is outside the currently detected. Or exclude
Force Manual Mode and select Force Handoff if the SA Id is within the currently detected.
Click <OK> to start the Manual Handoff operation.
A confirmation dialog is displayed to request Yes or No before proceeding. If the operation is
confirmed the dialog below is shown to the operator indicating that the automatic handoffs are
disabled.
After making a selection ROSS will override current location pushing selected SA configurations
to the modem and ACU. Once completed, the manually requested SA description will be
displayed at the top on the menu indicating selection completion. You can at anytime during this
process select a different SA for execution without adverse effects.
