Prerequisites for commissioning

Monitoring the commissioning process

During commissioning, the modem interacts with the satellite to establish transmit
timing and synchronization. It interacts with the NOC for authentication and
registration; and to obtain required software, security keys, and a preliminary
configuration. The NOC notifies the NSP that the satellite modem has registered with
the network.
The modem downloads a temporary configuration from the NOC. The temporary
configuration allows the modem to communicate with the NSP so the broadband
service can be activated. Final configuration is provided to the modem after service
activation.
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 NOC,
and the terminal site you entered. Installation must match the terminal site
name configured by the service provider and NOC.
• The satellite modem must be defined at the NOC and authorized for
commissioning by the service provider.
Commissioning activities are performed automatically by the satellite modem, the
satellite, and the NOC. Commissioning begins when the modem exits pointing mode
