Satellite communication terminal installation

A method comprising:

• transmitting, from a modem of a satellite communication terminal, a carrier wave (CW) signal to a hub of a satellite communication system;
• receiving, at the modem and from the hub, a first measurement of a difference in power between a co-pol signal and a cross-pol signal corresponding to the CW signal;
• generating, in a vicinity of an outdoor part of the satellite communication terminal, an indication corresponding to the first measurement;
• and
• responsive to detecting that a first loss of lock on a received signal was intentional, inducing a second measurement of the difference in power.

A modem of a satellite communication terminal, the modem configured to:

• detect a loss of lock on a signal that the modem is configured to receive;
• determine that the loss of lock on the signal is intentional, wherein the determining that the loss of lock on the signal is intentional comprises determining that the loss of lock is in accordance with one or more predefined patterns;
• and
• perform, in response to determining that the loss of lock on the signal is in accordance with the one or more predefined patterns, one or more actions in accordance with at least one of the one or more predefined patterns or a state of the modem.
