Turn On the System

Follow these steps to turn on the system.
a. Ensure the antenna has a clear, unobstructed
view of the sky.
b. Apply vessel power to the TracPhone system.
c. Press the power button on the front of the
ICM (see Figure 29). The button's light
should illuminate green.
d. Measure the AC and DC voltages between
the ground point on the ICM's rear panel
(chassis ground) and ship's ground. Make
sure you measure less than 2 VAC/2 VDC.
e. Wait at least 5 minutes for system startup.
IMPORTANT!
Powering down (rebooting) in reaction to a
perceived delay can corrupt the ICM's
CompactFlash (CF) card.
IMPORTANT!
Once the system is online, do not turn it off
for 30 minutes to allow the ICM's modem to
download the latest SSCF/SED configuration
files via the satellite. If the modem is unable
to connect, you may upload these files
manually. Details are available to technicians
on the KVH Partner Portal and in the Help.
f. After the startup sequence is complete, verify
that the ICM's Control Unit status light is lit
solid green and the Antenna and Modem
lights are lit solid or flashing green (see
Figure 30).
g. Connect your PC to the "User Ethernet 1"
port on the rear panel of the ICM (see
Figure 31).
h. Open a web browser on your PC and enter
the following address: http://minivsat.kvh.
i. Verify that the web interface appears in your
browser. If it doesn't, enter the ICM's IP
address (you can find this address on the LCD:
go to Settings > Network Settings > IP
Assignments) and make sure your PC is
configured for DHCP addressing (see
page 39).
