Hughes SATELLITE HN9000 - Manual (Page 58)

A quick look at the validation procedure
This section summarizes how you use the OVT to evaluate the performance and quality of a
newly installed HN9000 site. For detailed information on the OVT, see Installer’s Guide to the
Ka-Band Onsite Validation Tool (OVT) (1038091-0001).
The basic validation steps are:
1. With your installer laptop computer connected to the modem, use Internet Explorer to access
and log onto the HughesNet Installation Portal.
Specific steps for accessing the Portal are explained later.
2. Click the Onsite Validation Tool link.
3. Enter SAN and FSO numbers from the Installation Reference Sheet (which is also used for
repairs) to identify the site.
4. A subsequent screen shows the latest and target values for selected performance parameters
for the site, as shown in
Figure 23: Latest values compared to target values (partial screen)
on page 42. If all target values for the performance parameters are met (all difference values
are green), click the Sign Off button (not shown in this Figure) and record the sign-off code.
If the first screen after login shows that the site met the target values and you obtained the
sign-off code, validation is complete. If any target values were not met, as indicated by a red
difference value, continue.

5. If target values are not met, follow the recommended actions displayed by the OVT.
Examples of recommended actions are Check line of sight to the satellite or Replace IDU.
6. For each recommended action (they are displayed in succession, as appropriate), click the
Checked or Repaired button.
Depending on results, the OVT may display additional recommended actions.
7. When the target values are met (all difference values are green), click the Sign Off button
and record the sign-off code.
The site performance and installation quality are validated when all target values have been met
and you have obtained the sign-off code.
For validation procedure details, see the Installer’s Guide to the Ka-Band Onsite Validation
Tool (OVT) (1038091-0001).
