Validating the installation
As part of every HN9000 installation you are required to validate the overall
installation (modem, antenna, cables, and connections) using the Onsite Topics:
• A quick look at the validation
procedure
Validation Tool (OVT). This browser-based tool helps to ensure a high-quality
installation. If the site performance is not satisfactory, the OVT suggests
corrective actions you can take and then analyzes the results of your actions.
• Prerequisites
• Accessing the OVT
Important: Run the OVT on your installer laptop after the modem has completed
commissioning and registration, but before the customer activates the HughesNet
service.
The OVT helps you obtain the best possible performance for a newly installed
site by comparing current measured values from the site with target values.
Before using the OVT, you must first complete the installation to the best
of your ability.
The OVT is automated, but it does require certain inputs from the installer.
Online instructions and prompts guide the installer through the validation process.
The OVT logs the measured values and corrective actions taken by the installer
(if any) to the Installer Support database. When you successfully complete the
OVT process, the tool issues a sign-off code that you record on the Installation
Reference Sheet.
