Commissioning the satellite modem
During the commissioning phase of installation the satellite modem downloads
software and completes other activities so it can become an operational element Topics:
• Prerequisites for commissioning
of the network. When commissioning is completed, the modem is ready for
service activation.
• Monitoring the commissioning
process
The NOCC and the modem communicate to make sure commissioning software
is loaded in the modem. If necessary, commissioning software is downloaded
• Troubleshooting installation
problems
to the modem. The commissioning software is only sufficient to complete
commissioning steps; it does not support end-user data transfer capabilities.
The modem interacts with the satellite to establish transmit timing and
synchronization. It interacts with the NOCC for authentication and registration;
and to obtain required software, security keys, and a preliminary configuration.
The NOCC notifies the NSP that the satellite modem has registered with the
network.
The modem downloads a temporary configuration from the NOCC. The
temporary configuration allows the modem to communicate with the NSP so
the broadband service can be activated. Final configuration is provided to the
modem after service activation.
