B.3.5 To make an OTC for ADS systems
The entire system is now ready for operation.
1. Turn on the Modem power.
The first time the Modem is turned on it will perform an OTC both on the Master and the
Slave antennas. During this process the Modem will restart several times before pointing
towards the satellite and establish the link.
2. Be patient. The OTC procedure will take at least 16 minutes.
3. If for some reason you make a TX cable calibration again, the system will request the
operator to initiate a manual OTC procedure. You can start the OTC procedure from the
Modem dashboard.

Interrupting the process before it has completed will cause the process to
restart.
