  5. Wait at least five minutes for system startup. Do not turn off the ICM during this time.

  6. Turn on your computer(s) that are connected to the network. Once the antenna finds the service satellite and the ICM’s modem logs into the mini-VSAT Broadband service, all status lights on the ICM should be lit green. If any lights are not lit green, refer to  LED Indicators .
