Test Product Link
Product Link may need up to 15 minutes in order to establish communication with a satellite. Allow a minimum of 15 minutes to complete the following procedure.In order to establish communication, the antenna for the Product Link module must have a clear view of the sky. Objects that obstruct the antenna's view of the sky may result in a failure. If the antenna was obstructed during the test, retest the Product Link system with an unobstructed view of the sky. Satellites can be seen from the horizon to 15 degrees above the horizon. Check the following web site for satellite coverage in your area: http://corneroftheuniverse.net/orbcomm/sats/sat_coverage.html

In order to confirm the two types of communication with the satellite, the "Number of GPS Satellites" should be at least one. The "Satellite Communication Status" should be "Established". The screen in Illustration 126 shows that communication with GPS and the satellite is established.If the "Number of GPS Satellites" is at least one and "Satellite Communication Status" is "Established", the communication of Product Link is confirmed.If the "Number of GPS Satellites" is at least one and "Satellite Communication Status" is "Not Established", the wiggle test can be run in order to monitor status of the communication. Select the "Start" button in order to begin the wiggle test.Note: Leave ET running and do not navigate to a different screen in ET while the wiggle test is running. These actions will end the wiggle test. Allow the wiggle test to run for at least 15 minutes before failing Product Link.If a parameter changes during the wiggle test, the parameter will be highlighted in red. A 2 second beep will sound an alert. The parameter will remain red even if the parameter changes back to the original value.If communication is not established and the test has run for more than 15 minutes, check the antenna for damage. Also check the connection
