Turn On the System

Follow these steps to turn on the TracPhone
system for the first time.
a. Double-check all of your wiring.
b. Ensure the antenna has a clear, unobstructed
view of the sky.
c. Apply vessel power to the TracPhone system.
d. Press the power buttons on the front of the
modem and CommBox-ACU (see Figure 47).
The buttons' lights should illuminate green.
e. Wait 5 minutes for system startup.
IMPORTANT!
Once the system is online, do not turn it off
for 30 minutes to allow the modem to
download the latest SSCF/SED configuration
files via the satellite. If the modem is unable
to connect, you may upload the files
manually via the modem's web interface.
Details are available to technicians on the
KVH Partner Portal and in the Help.

ACU and modem (see Figure 48) exhibit the
following conditions:

appears in your browser. If the web interface
is not displayed, enter the CommBox-ACU's
