  • Page 5: Understanding Safety Alert Messages

    Understanding safety alert messages Safety alert messages call attention to potential safety hazards and tell you how to avoid them. These messages are identified by the signal words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, or NOTICE, as illustrated below. To avoid possible property damage, personal injury, or in some cases possible death, read and comply with all safety alert messages.
  • Page 6: Messages Concerning Property Damage / Messages Concernant Des Dommages Matériels

    CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. ATTENTION indique une situation potentiellement dangereuse qui, si elle n'est pas évitée, pourrait entraîner des blessures mineures ou modérées. Messages concernant Messages concerning property damage / des dommages matériels A NOTICE concerns property damage only.

  • Page 21: Configuration Via Web Ui

    Chapter 2 Configuration via Web UI The UT is typically configured via the Web User Interface (UI). Browsers that are currently supported are IE, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. Release 5.9.6.1 adds full support for the Chrome browser. Web UI layout The Web User Interface (UI) can be accessed from a MAC or PC browser by entering 192.168.128.100 as the URL (unless you change the IP address of the UT.) Table 2...
  • Page 22 • Event Log • Packet Log These files can be FTPed out of the UT and used for debugging. To download the logs right-click on the “Download Current” link and select “Save Target As”. This uses FTP to retrieve the files from the UT which can be blocked by some security software such as McAfee.
  • Page 23: Status Bar

    Reset Terminal to Factory Defaults: Clicking the “Restore to Defaults” button will restore the UT back to the factory default settings and delete any of the user parameters that have been set-up in the UT, including any custom APN settings. In Release 5.9.6.1 and above you can also Reset to Factory Defaults if the small blue button next to the SIM card holder is depressed while powering off.

  • Page 25 In release 5.9.5.0 and above, a pointing control button was added to the Home page that duplicates the function button on the UT. During the “wait for input” state at startup this button is active for 15 seconds. If pressed the UT will enter pointing mode and remain until the button is pressed again.
  • Page 26: Connections Tab

    Connections tab Manage Contexts page The Manage Contexts page under the Connections tab displays the status of any active contexts and allows contexts to be controlled. Typically this page will not be used and you configure context activation via the always on option on the M2M page, or the ACA page.
  • Page 27 Automatic Contexts This web page allows you to use Automatic Context Activation (ACA) for multiple devices. (The M2M page Always on context can be used if you only require a single context.) The ACA page is not available in NAPT or PPPoE modes. •...
  • Page 28 DHCP Automatic Contexts: This option allows you to set up the UT for dynamic ACA. This means that any device connected to the UT via DHCP, will automatically receive a standard context. To activate this feature, select “On” or “Data” from the drop down list under DHCP Automatic Contexts section.
  • Page 29 Manage APNs page The Manage APNs page under the Connections tab allows the user to view the available APNs and define new ones, e.g. if the correct APN is not configured in the SIM. To make an APN the default, select it in the Defined APNs list and press “Make Default”.
  • Page 30: Settings Tab

    Settings tab The settings tab has the following configuration pages: General Setup Release 5.9.5.0 on includes a General Setup page with the following fields: • Connection: this field controls the satellites the UT will try to connect to. With the default “Automatic” selection it will search for all satellites. If an individual satellite is selected the UT will only search for and use the selected satellite.
  • Page 31 IP Address/DHCP Settings The IP settings page under the Settings tab includes the following fields: • Terminal Local IP address — Allows you to change the UT’s IP address — In PPPoE mode with the Inmarsat NSD you typically set the UT IP address to 192.168.0.1.

  • Page 39 For added security you can lock the UT so that it cannot be accessed locally. This is controlled by a security password configured from the Enhanced Security Settings page accessible from the Security Passwords page. When the password is active, each time the UT starts up, the password must be entered before the user interface can be accessed.
  • Page 40: Sms Pages

    SMS pages The SMS pages are used to send SMS messages from the terminal to another BGAN device or another phone number. When sending an SMS message, use the + symbol in front of the country code of the number you want to send the SMS to e.g., +16199778619.

  • Page 42: Napt Mode

    NAPT mode In NAPT mode (5.9.4.4 and above) multiple devices connected via a hub or switch share a single PDP context. The port translating NAT modifies both IP addresses and port numbers so multiple devices can share the single global IP address assigned to the PDP context.

    255.255.255.128 on both UTs and set the IP address of the second UT to 192.168.0.129. If the TEs use a subnet other than the directly connected interface range, configure a default route on the IP Settings page so that the WebUI can be accessed. The default route will be in the subnet associated with the TE Ethernet interface.
  • Page 44: Remote Upgrade And File Transfer

    Remote upgrade and file transfer The 9502 includes an FTP client. The operator can send SMS messages or AT commands to command the 9502 to send or retrieve files from an FTP server in the network or Internet. This allows the 9502 to be upgraded, reconfigured and also allows log files to be sent back to the server.
  • Page 45: Serial Pin Power Control

    Ethernet packet (ARP, DHCP, data packet, etc). In this mode the power consumption is less than 10mW when powered from a 12V source. The UT generates Ethernet sync pulses so the TE believes the link is still active. When an Ethernet packet is detected the UT will power up normally, register and bring up a PDP context (if configured for ACA.) It takes about 1 minute for the UT to be fully connected to the Inmarsat network.
  • Page 46 The serial port is a DB9 male, configured as a DTE and supports autobaud between the valid NMEA rates of 4800bps and 38.4kbps. The GNSS device must provide a fix via the RMC or GGA NMEA messages. Typically a straight through DB9 serial cable can be used with the correct plug for the GNSS device.

    Connecting power leads to the Hughes 9502 IDU Once the ODU is properly connected, you can then connect the power leads (positive + and negative -) from the power source to the 9502 IDU power connector. The IDU is clearly marked for positive and negative leads and the IDU is designed for a nominal 12Vdc and 24Vdc voltage and is protected from reverse polarity.
  • Page 55: Powering Up The Hughes 9502

    Powering up the Hughes 9502 The 9502 will power up automatically when DC power is applied. It does not have a power button. By default it will bypass antenna (ODU) pointing and automatically register, attach and activate a PDP context. Once you have applied DC power, the terminal goes through a power-on-self-test (POST) that takes approximately 15-20 seconds and then the power LED will start flashing for another 15 seconds.

    Operation in the Russian Federation In the Territory and National Waters of the Russian Federation covered by the three Regional beams of I-4 MEAS shown below, end-users must select MEAS rather than Alphasat (EMEA) or I-4 Asia Pacific (APAC), even if one of these satellites is closer. In areas within the Russian Federation, but not covered by the I-4 MEAS satellite, use I-4 Asia Pacific (APAC).
  • Page 60: Pointing The Odu

    Pointing the ODU Determine the azimuth and elevation for the look angle to the satellite in advance of the installation by using the approximate latitude and longitude of the site in a simple satellite pointing application or specially marked map. This is the preferred mode as it simplifies the install and may be critical data for choosing the site if there are multiple potential locations to mount the UT in wooded, mountainous or built- up areas.
