WARNING! Do not click the Start button until instructed to do so by the satellite access
control center. Clicking the button causes the Satellite Router to transmit a
continuous-wave (CW) signal to the satellite.
While still connected to the Satellite Router
, call
the Network Operator. The Network
Operator will establish a conference call with the satellite access control center. The access
controller will assign an uplink frequency for performing the cross-pol isolation adjustment.
For a Satellite Router that transmits an SCPC return channel, the assigned test frequency may
be the same as the final operating frequency. For TDMA terminals, cross-pol must be
measured at a test frequency different from the traffic-carrying channel.
