Page 14: Operation Manual
Manual tVip_2 10/2011 __________________________________________________________________________ Operation Manual 2.1 General The duration of the pointing process depends mainly on the distance to your last location: Depending on the location the elevation of the antenna is different: The satellite is stationary located on an equator of a radius of 40.000 km. If you would stay directly below the satellite on the equator, your antenna would look vertically up to the satellite. -
Page 15: Usage Of Remote Control
Manual tVip_2 10/2011 __________________________________________________________________________ The Azimuth (East – West) direction has a limited motion range of +/- 65 degrees. Therefore the antenna roughly has to be manually preadjusted in East –West direction following Fig.10. Fig. 10 shows the preadjustment on the example of a RV, which is positioned with the entrance/awning direction south. - Page 16 Manual tVip_2 10/2011 __________________________________________________________________________ Fig.12: Moving to last position of TV satellite I For pointing to the TV Satellite I please push the orange button on the remote control (for TV satellite II please push the green button). At first you see the above picture: It means, that the antenna is moving to the last position of the TV satellite, in this case Astra 19,2 degrees East.

Follow on packages easily can be booked on the webshop. 2.5.5 Load Balancing Why is Load Balancing necessary? Unfortunately bandwidth especially at networks for mobile internet access is limited. - Page 23 Especially the thresholds are subject to changes for optimum use of bandwidth at maximum customer satisfaction. The IPcopter Load Balancing scheme checks and counts, within how many of the four time windows the SLA related threshold is exceeded. We call those windows „volume excess windows“.
- Page 24 Manual tVip_2 10/2011 __________________________________________________________________________ download the threshold for the last 5 minutes is not exceeded any more and the maximum speed goes up 768 kbps at medium priority, after less than 60 minutes it goes up to 1500 kbps at medium priority.

Page 28: Antenna
A: No, the antenna controller is not linked to the ignition detect line. One of the reasons is the simplicity of installation. IPcopter strongly recommends a warning note on the dashboards, which reminds you on the antenna or the installation of the Antenna Security Control, which is part of the deliveries. - Page 29 A.: No, because the transmit beam could be damaged. Please order a new reflector. Q.: I am operating my tVip_2 with a tripod. Is it dangerous to be close to the antenna? A.: No. Even close to the antenna the power density is below the legal EMC values. Only between iLNB and reflector those values are exceeded.

Page 30: Internet
Q.: I would like to point on another than the preconfigured TV satellites. Is it possible to change the configuration accordingly? A.: This cannot be done by the user. Please inform IPcopter about your requirements and we try to find a solution. - Page 31 A.: Skype is transmitted over the Internet without priorisation. Therefore it is competing for bandwidth with all other applications. If the bandwidth is not sufficient, then the voice quality is reduced. However, IPcopter offers the Skype HP driver for Windows systems to give Skype packets a high priority: http://www.ipcopter.com/en/shop/shop.php?catID=1027 Q.: For voice communication I am using a SIP service and a SIP phone.
