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 22: Terminal Initialization
on page 34.
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 message. This message is indicated by the arrow
in
Figure 22: Terminal Initialization Sequence complete
