4.4 Apply Power and Register the SCU

When you apply power, the SCU goes into satellite search mode to acquire the OG2 network. This

activity may take a few minutes to complete. The SCU must complete registration to operate.

Once the SCU synchronizes itself with the network, it sends a registration message to the OG2 network.

The SCU will not register until it has a connection to the satellite. The OG2 network records the

registration message and forwards the registration message to the user’s application. The OG2 network

sends an acknowledgment message over the satellite to the SCU. The SCU is now available to send

and receive messages via satellite.
