Commissioning the satellite router

Satellite-based commissioning

Commissioning refers to a series of procedures to make the newly installed satellite
router ready for network operation and register the router with the service
provider's network.
Commissioning methods
Two methods are available for commissioning the HX90 satellite router:
• Satellite-based commissioning on page 29
• Manual commissioning on page 57
Satellite-based commissioning is the preferred commissioning method. Use the
manual commissioning method only if satellite-based commissioning is not available
and if you are instructed to do so by the service provider.
Satellite-based commissioning (SBC) is the preferred commissioning method. Using
SBC, you use a web-based interface on the satellite router to:
• Obtain an IP address from the router
• Verify the Ethernet connection (ping test)
• Upload the
sbc.cfg
• Enter commissioning parameters
• Point the antenna
• Register the router
The satellite router contains an SBC configuration file (
satellite information for SBC and the auto-commissioning server (ACS) used during
commissioning. Occasionally, new satellites are activated to support broadband
service. As a result, you may be required to upload an
prior to installation or manually enter satellite parameters during router installation.
If a new file is available you are instructed to download the
sbc.cfg
from an installation support web site. You must save the
installer laptop computer prior to commissioning so you can upload it to the router.
If a new satellite is activated but a new
satellite parameters are distributed to you in a technical update email or in an
installation specification. In this case you must manually enter the new satellite
parameters.
