Page 7: Installation
• The external GPS antenna required for the Thuraya IP terminal should be placed at least 1 meter from the SpaceCom IP221 Vehicle Antenna and other interfering signal sources or receivers. -
Page 8: Connecting To The Thuraya Ip Terminal
The cable carries “receive and transmit” L-band signals as well as DC power to the antenna. A separate coax cable is connected between the Thuraya IP terminal and the Power Supply, AS03951. See picture showing the SpaceCom IP221 Vehicle Antenna... - Page 9 • Connect the 1m coax cable from the Power Supply, AS03951 to Thuraya IP terminal “active external antenna” connector (see Figure 4). The Thuraya IP terminal will automatically detect and use the SpaceCom IP221 Vehicle Antenna. Figure 4. Connecting the SpaceCom IP221 Vehicle Antenna to the “active external antenna”...

Page 10: Operating The Antenna
In certain areas both satellites are visible and therefore the antenna can track either of them, but only one of them will allow the Thuraya IP to connect to the network. The area with both satellites visible is from longitude 60° East to 110° East. -
