  • Page 27 Site preparation 3.2.3 Blocking zones with azimuth and elevation Your installation may require that you set up blocking zones for the ADU, i.e. areas where the ADU will not transmit and areas where transmit power is potentially dangerous for persons frequently being in these zones. You can set up 8 blocking zones. Each blocking zone is set up with azimuth start and stop, and elevation angle.

  • Page 35 Site preparation 3.2.7 Interference from radar, GPS, L-band and other transmitters Do not place the ADU close to interfering signal sources or receivers. We Note recommend to test the total system by operating all equipment simultaneously and verifying that there is no interference. Mount the ADU as far away as possible from the ship’s radar and high power radio transmitters, because they may compromise the ADU performance.
  • Page 36 Site preparation 3.2.7.2 Radar distance The minimum acceptable separation (d min.) between a radar and the ADU is determined by the radar wavelength/frequency and the power emitted by the radar. The tables below show some “rule of thumb” minimum separation distances as a function of radar power at X and S band.
  • Page 37 Site preparation It is strongly recommended that interference-free operation is verified experimentally before the installation is finalized. If radar interference is suspected, or the antenna is placed inside the radar beam, configure the radar to have a blanking zone to avoid transmission towards the antenna.

  • Page 124 Frequently asked questions 8.8.2 The questions 8.8.2.1 Q1: What is OTC and what happens? OTC stands for One Touch Commission. OTC is similar to a P1dB compression test for VSAT but on multiple frequencies. The GMU will instruct the antenna to point away from the Clark belt (geostationary satellites), disable the Power Amplifier (PA) of the BUC and use a built-in Power Detector to measure the gain of the system from GMU tx-connector up to BUC PA.
  • Page 125 Frequently asked questions 8.8.2.4 Q4: How do I start a manual OTC procedure? You start a manual OTC procedure from the web server of the GMU. The GMU (iDirect Core Module) does NOT support Internet Explorer, use Mozilla Firefox or Chrome! 1.
  • Page 126 Frequently asked questions 8.8.2.8 Q8: How do I log in to the GMU Linux shell? Make an SSH connection (Freeware: PuTTY.exe) to the ACU on IP port number 8022.

  • Page 130 Frequently asked questions 7. Use the command help to show all available GMU commands. 8.8.2.17 Q17: The antenna is pointing in a wrong direction, what is wrong? You have probably not made an azimuth calibration yet, or maybe moved the antenna recently during a stationary test setup.
  • Page 131 Frequently asked questions 8.8.2.19 Q19: After successful azimuth calibration the antenna is still pointing in a wrong direction, what is wrong? You have made a successful azimuth calibration, but the antenna status stays in the status ACQUISITION. The reason for this may be that the antenna has found another GX satellite than the one you intended it to use for the azimuth calibration.
