12. In-service commissioning
Before you start
When you have finished installing the hardware, RF and the traffic interface cabling, the system is
ready to be commissioned. Commissioning the terminal is a simple process and consists of:
1. Powering up the terminals
2. Configuring both the local and remote terminals using SuperVisor
3. Aligning the antennas
4. Synchronizing the terminals
5. Testing the link is operating correctly. As a minimum, conduct the suggested tests to ensure
correct operation. More extensive testing may be required to satisfy the end client or regulatory
body requirements.
6. Connecting up the client or user interfaces
What you will need
Appropriately qualified commissioning staff at both ends of the link.
Safety equipment appropriate for the antenna location at both ends of the link.
Communication equipment, that is, mobile phones or two-way radios.
SuperVisor software running on an appropriate laptop, computer, or workstation at one end of the
link.
Tools to facilitate loosening and re-tightening the antenna pan and tilt adjusters.
Predicted receiver input levels and fade margin figures from the radio link budget (You can use
Surveyor (see "
Path planning" on page 19) to calculate the RSSI, fade margin, and availability).
