After requesting the activation of Marinestar™ (details in this article) by adding the location of the receiver using latitude and longitude or a unique city name (Paris, France for example), they will send the activation signal once to activate it.
It is very important to have the unit powered and the antennas connected and with a clear view of the sky to receive the activation code over the datalink when it is sent, because it will only be sent once per request.
Once activated, the L-band signals received through the antennas compatible with L band frequencies will be decoded by the receiver as long as the unit is powered and everything is connected correctly.
By default, the receiver will be set to automatic mode to track and lock onto the best possible beams available at its location.
