6. Click Submit Installation Parameters.
The modem saves the information you entered to flash memory. If you enter a new parameter
or modify a parameter, the modem reboots. After the reboot, the Terminal Pointing Info
screen appears. See
Figure 18: Terminal Pointing Info screen on page 25.

If you want to change any of the values you previously entered on the Installation Parameters
screen, click Modify Installation Parameters. This returns you to the Installation Parameters
screen.
Do not click the Abort Pointing button. This would skip the pointing phase and subsequently
cause registration to fail. Then you could only register the modem by obtaining a pointing
override from the NOCC. The Abort Pointing button is used only during manual IDU
(modem) replacement, for which the NOCC explicitly approves an antenna pointing override
for the site.
Note: At this point, prior to antenna pointing, the SQF value may be 0, indicating that
the demodulator is initializing, or 1, indicating that the demodulator is searching for a
beacon signal. Most of the time the SQF value is 1 until the demodulator acquires the
beacon signal; then it is > 1.
7. Make a note of the values shown in the Computed Parameters area of the Terminal Pointing
Info screen:
• Azimuth
• Elevation
• Tilt angle
• ODU polarization setting (LHCP or RHCP)
You will need the azimuth and elevation values to point the antenna.
