This document provides an agenda for training on GMES space application stations. The training covers unpacking and inspecting station hardware, configuring the outdoor antenna subsystem including pointing and survival modes, indoor subsystem components, hardware installation and interconnection, software installation including the operating system, and administration topics like network configuration, backup/restore, monitoring, services, and degraded modes. The document contains several figures illustrating the station architecture and hardware.

16. UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
The hardware Crates are delivered at the beneficiary site, They are stored in a secured environment
and protected from bad weather conditions.
The hardware unpacking is ensured by TELESPAZIO or its representative (installer).
The first step performed by TELESPAZIO or its representative consists in verifying that all hardware
delivered is in good state and with no apparent damages.
Once this inspection step completed, the Station administrator focal point has to be available to
participate to the station deployment as part of the 2 days On Site Training.
On Site training consists in interconnecting Station hardware, power on the station, run the On Site
acceptance Test Procedure, and being trained on basic administration tasks as well as anomaly
reporting.
