Prerequisites for commissioning

The following are pre-requisites 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 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 19: Terminal Initialization
Sequence in progress on page 32).
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 19: Terminal Initialization Sequence
in progress on page 32 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.
An activity in progress is indicated by three dots after the name of the activity, for example: Acquiring Keys...
