4.1.1 Acquiring Lock
Quick verification of the tuner status can be done from the front panel of the
receiver. If the green LED labeled as Signal is lit, the receiver is locked to a
satellite carrier. However, this does not guarantee that the receiver is locked to
the correct carrier. You can navigate to the Tuner section of the front panel to
verify that the frequency and symbol rate match the values specified in the
included Network Data Sheet. Additionally, you can manually change the value
here if your receiver does not automatically lock.
At the main screen with the network logo, press the SET key, then
the left or right arrow keys to reach Setup. Press SET.
Press the left or right arrow keys to reach Tuner. Press SET.
Press the left or right arrow keys to reach Frequency. Press SET.

softkey that is labeled NOC to initiate the test.
After the test completes you will either see ‘Successfully Connected to NOC’ or
