Note: Downloading the commissioning software, if required, takes approximately 5 minutes. Do not remove
power during this download because you think it's taking too long. If you do, you will have to wait until the
commissioning software is broadcast again from the NOCC plus the download time. The wait for the software
broadcast your modem needs can be as long as 20 to 25 minutes.
Downloading operational software takes about 10 to 20 minutes. This download occurs after the commissioning
software download, as shown in Figure 20: Terminal Initialization Sequence complete on page 33.
During the initialization sequence, numerous procedures are performed that are critical for operation of the satellite
modem. In addition to the procedures listed on the Terminal Initialization Sequence screen, the satellite modem probes
to optimize its timing and power levels. Registration refers to equipment identification, authentication, and registration
with the satellite network. During configuration reconciliation, the modem makes sure it has the correct configuration.
The modem also loads numerous profiles that are required for network operation.
Monitor the commissioning process by viewing the Terminal Initialization Sequence screen. Unless there is a problem
(as indicated by an error message), you should not have to take any action during this sequence except to monitor the
process.
Monitor the initialization sequence screen while the modem progresses through the commissioning process:
1. Monitor the commissioning progress messages on the Terminal Initialization Sequence screen.
When commissioning is complete, the Terminal Initialization Sequence screen shows Installation Complete as the
last progress. This message is indicated by the arrow in Figure 20: Terminal Initialization Sequence complete on
page 33.
Note: Some error messages are temporary. For example, you may see a message that says a commissioning
activity is halted; then in a short time the activity resumes.
2. In the event that an error condition prevents the commissioning process from completing, refer to Table 7: Guidelines
for installation troubleshooting on page 39 for troubleshooting steps you can take.
