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.
Safety symbols The generic safety alert symbol calls attention to a potential personal injury hazard. It appears next to the DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION signal words as part of the signal word label. Other symbols may appear next to DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION to indicate a specific type of hazard (for example, fire or electric shock).

Remote control messages will be deleted after they are received and will not be stored in the SIM. The Default SMS destination is the SMS address that is used when sending any of the pre-defined text messages from the keypad.
Settings page General Setup This page allows the user to configure various parameters of the UT. A description of each item follows: Terminal Startup – by default Bypass Antenna pointing is not selected but if the terminal is permanently mounted you can select this option to bypass antenna pointing on subsequent power ups.
IP Address/DHCP Settings Terminal Local IP Address: This section allows the user to change the local IP address of the terminal from the default 192.168.128.100 IP address. All four octets are available to change. Once the local IP address is changed on this page and applied, the IP address ranges for the DHCP server, the Manage Context page and ACA page will also be changed automatically.
Lease Time when idle: Idle-mode DHCP Lease Time refers to the DHCP lease time when the UT is not connected to the network. This parameter allows the user to change the default time (60 seconds) that the DHCP lease to the TE is good for. This parameter was introduced because problems with some devices that will not accept a short DHCP lease time.
LaunchPad and the Web UI will lose and reestablish their connections to the terminal as the IP address is changed. To make the IP address change happen quickly a short DHCP lease should be used. The terminal defaults the DHCP lease time to 60 seconds in idle and connected mode.
Enable Wireless LAN Interface: Turns the Wireless LAN interface on/off. The default is off (unchecked). Network Name (SSID): The default is “Hughes 9202”, but you can change it to whatever you want. You can “hide”/prevent the SSID broadcast on the WLAN Security page Network Region: There is only one region for all countries.
