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 WARNING or CAUTION, as illustrated
below. To avoid possible property damage, personal injury, or in
some cases possible death, read and comply with all safety alert
messages.
Messages concerning
personal injury
The signal words WARNING and CAUTION indicate hazards
that could result in personal injury or in some cases death, as
explained below. Each of these signal words indicates the
severity of the potential hazard.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if
not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if
not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
Safety symbols
The generic safety alert symbol calls attention to a
potential personal injury hazard. It appears next to the
WARNING and CAUTION signal words as part of the signal
word label. Other symbols may appear next to WARNING or
CAUTION to indicate a specific type of hazard (for example,
fire or electric shock).

Chapter 1 Introduction
The purpose of this guide is to provide assistance to personnel
installing the Hughes 9450 mobile satellite terminal into a
vehicle.
This product must be installed by Authorized Service Personnel.
Note: Damages resulting in the failure to conform to the
instructions found herein, as well as standard installation
practices, will be the responsibility of the installer.
Hughes 9450 mobile
satellite terminals
The mobile satellite terminals are composed of four parts: the
transceiver or Indoor Unit (IDU), the antenna or Outdoor Unit
(ODU), the power connector/cable, and a 10 meter RF cable.
Figure 1-1. 9450 IDU (left) and Class 10 antenna (middle) Class 11 antenna (right)
The Hughes IDU has multiple interfaces that various Terminal
Equipment (TE) devices such as laptops, phones, etc., can
connect to: four PoE/Ethernet (RJ-45), ISDN, two POTS
(RJ-11) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).
There are multiple versions of the 9450. The IDU housing is
common but the different versions have different user interfaces.

3004129-0001 Revision E
Indoor Unit (IDU)
The IDU provides all of the TE interfaces, plus the interface for
the antenna (ODU) and manages the communications over the
Inmarsat BGAN network. Communication to the ODU is
provided by the RF cable from the IDU.
Physical dimensions
IDU: Size: 46 mm x 281 mm x 233 mm
Weight: 2.2 kg
RF cable: 10 meter coaxial LMR195 or equivalent (<10 dB
loss@ 1.6GHz and 50 Ohm impedance), TNC
connectors
Figure 1-2. 9450 Indoor Unit (IDU)
Power port
The power port is the connection from the power supply (vehicle
battery or some other 12 or 24 Vdc power source) to the IDU.
The power cable has a +V power line, an ignition sense line and
a –V power line.

4X RJ-45 Ethernet with Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports
There are four RJ-45 ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) on the
IDU. (The 9450L does not have PoE.) The ports supply standard
PoE according to the IEEE 802.3af standard (48 Vdc up to
15.4 W) and 10/100BaseT Ethernet. The pinout of the ports
supports a direct straight-through connection to a PC with a
standard Ethernet cable. Table 3, shows the pinout of the Ethernet
connector.

Note: The 48 Vdc for PoE devices is supplied over the TX, RX
pairs. They are only active when an 802.3af compliant device is
plugged in. The other pairs (4, 5, 7, and 8) are unused.
The total power supplied by the PoE is limited to 30.8 W
maximum for 12 V installations and 61.6 W maximum for 24 V
installations. The IDU automatically detects the class of the
device plugged in and will apply power such that the total cannot
exceed these limits. If the user attempts to connect a combination
of devices that require more than this, the IDU will not power
any devices that would cause the limit to be exceeded.
Note: Class 4 (802.3at) PD devices are not supported.
ISDN port
There is one ISDN port on the IDU of the 9450 and 9450E. It
provides 4 kbps voice, 3.1 kHz audio, and 64 kbps data
communication. The following table lists the pinout of the ISDN
connector.

RJ-11 ports
There are two RJ-11 ports on the IDU (except for the 9450L):
FAX is for 3.1 kbps fax calls and TEL for 4 kbps speech calls.

Antenna port
The antenna connects to the 50 Ohm female TNC connector
antenna port. This line carries the L-band RF, ASK signaling, and
DC power (42 Vdc) for the antenna.
The antenna cable carries DC power; do not connect or
disconnect the antenna cable while the unit is powered on.
WLAN port
The WLAN port on the 9450 IDU is a reverse polarity SMA
jack. The supplied antenna is a 2.4 GHz 3 dBi “Rubber Duck”
antenna with RP-SMA plug connector, part number
HG2403RD-RSF.
To prevent blocking or attenuation of the WLAN signal, the IDU
should be installed such that there is no metal blocking the radio
path to the user’s device.

SIM card
The IDU requires an Inmarsat SIM to be installed. Insert the
SIM (supplied by the dealer) into the SIM card holder with the
metal contacts facing down. Insert the SIM card as shown in
Figure 1-3.
