==Activation and Configuration==

If not previously activated, this number from the modem will be needed:

[[File:20210610 143459.jpg|500px]]

*Make sure DCT or EDR is at the latest version
*After the modem itself is activated, EMIT can send the command to the DCT or EDR remotely to use the satellite modem. Alternately, page 72 can be used to switch to Sat 2 mode.
*The service level should show "5" after everything is complete
*The signal status in the lower left will now show the SAT connection status rather than cell signal strength
*Sending test data or a test callout from page 72 should work the same as if using cell
*Other than for callouts, the satellite will only send once per hour but will include the previous half hour point, so over time there will be data every 30 minutes shown.
