1.2 System Overview
The iNetVu™Mobile Satellite Internet system is an automatic scanner, polarizer and beam positioning
system for a foldable two-way satellite antenna. It has been designed to automatically find and acquire
the satellite beam and the position based on both a GPS position reading as well as other positioning
parameters. It is targeted for mobile users that require high speed Internet access in remote locations
where cable and DSL do not exist. It provides two-way, high-speed data communications over satellite.
iNetVu™ empowers mobile users with the ability to stop anywhere there is Satellite coverage and
access Internet at broadband speeds. The iNetVu™ Mobile application consists of the iNetVu™ Mobile
software 7000 software (for the 7000 Series Controller)
iNetVu™ Mobile Application
Key Features:
•Automatic re-peak on satellite upon signal loss.
•Automatic dish stow if Mobile Platform moves
•If the vehicle is moved before the dish is stowed, the dish will sense movement and will
automatically begin stowing itself.
•The dish will not transmit unless it is pointed adequately to meet cross-polarization
specifications.
•The system will automatically find any satellite from any point on the Earth within its coverage
area.
•Displays comprehensive information about the satellite, dish, motors, GPS, compass, control
box, and modem.
•Finds the satellite, peaks the signal strength and selects the optimal path to perform the selected
satellite, allowing the customer’s computer to be online as soon as possible
•Simple to install, configure and operate.

1.9 Initial Controller Configuration and Verification Test with Hughes
9200/9260/9400/9460/9600&9800 Modem(s)
Once the system wiring with the Hughes modem is setup and the network configuration on your PC is
configured, you are required to configure the system parameters for the following before satellite
acquisition:
Install iNetVu® software if not already installed, see 7000 Series Controller Manual for
installation details.
Communication Method between IMS and iNetVu® Controller.
Satellite Name, Longitude, and Transmit Polarization
Modem/VSAT Communication Parameters
The 7000 Controller may be configured via the Software Application / Web Interface / LCD interface.
Only one is necessary for complete configuration.
iNetVu® Software Application (preferred method)
First time user should use the iNetVu Wizard which is imbedded into the iNetVu software for
guidance in configuring your system.
▪USB Connection
▪Ethernet Connection
iNetVu® Web Interface
▪Ethernet Connection
iNetVu® 7000 Front Panel
USB drivers must be installed for USB connection method. The configuration process is only required to
be done once as long there are no change in satellite, service, modem, or platform parameters.

1.10 Tips and Recommendations
The user has the option to search for satellite using the following methods depending on what is
available to you:
❖DVB search and or Reference Satellite Using a Known DVB Carrier
❖RF search
❖Beacon receiver
The recommended method of satellite search is DVB using DVB-S/S2, followed by DVB
reference satellite search with RF search being the last option of choice. If using RF search, a
valid RF frequency must be entered and is highly recommended; this can be the service
frequency or any other valid RF frequency from a known carrier (preferably taken from Modem
parameters)
Search Method
DVB or RF search are selectable from the drop down window. DVB will search directly on DVB-
S1 or DVB-S2 carrier and lock on it. This is the option of choice to use when searching for
satellite. RF option will allow the user to base satellite searching and peaking strictly on RF
instead of DVB.
This method of searching could be used when the user is having a hard time finding the
transponder data for a specific satellite, or if no transponder data exists. The controller will then
peak on the modem signal when the satellite is found. RF search should be used as a last resort
after DVB and or DVB with reference satellite because search time is much longer.
The Reference Satellite option is useful when the user cannot find a DVB transponder on the
desired target satellite. The user may select a reference satellite with a known DVB
Transponder. The iNetVu®System will lock onto the reference satellite, and then pivot from that
point to the desired target satellite, and peak on the modem signal. Does not work if search
method selected is RF Search.
Beacon Receiver is used to lock onto a satellite without the use of a modem.
Compass Issues?
If you are in an area where there is magnetic interference or the compass readings are incorrect, it is
recommended to select Full Search which will also override the compass.
❖Full Search
❖Override Compass
Selecting Full Search will auto select Override Compass and set the AZ Search Window to 180 or
any other value depending on the Platform type. This value can be overridden to a more desirable
range. Override Compass can be selected without selecting Full Search but this does not hold
true for the vice-versa.
Refer to Controller User Manual for more information on using the iNetVu Controller and
options associated with your system.

1.11 Software Setup and Initial Configuration Procedure with Hughes
9200/9260/9400/9460/9600&9800 Series Modems
1. If you are using the network interface to communicate with the 7000 Controller, set the
PC/Notebook to the same network as the 7000 Controller. (If you are using the USB interface,
you may skip to the Software Installation)
2. Open Network and Sharing Center\Network
Connections, right-click your network card, and select
Properties.
3. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click
Properties.
4. Select Use the following IP address.
Set your PC to the same subnet as the 7000 Controller.
PC IP: 192.168.0.3
7000 IP: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (Modem/Router
Dependent)
Gateway: 192.168.0.1 (Router/Modem IP)
Set the DNS IP Addresses if required.
INETVU® MOBILE SYSTEM QUICK START –HUGHES KA
5. Set the 7000 Controller to the same network as the PC and VSAT Modem.
*Note: The controller IP should be set in the controller through the LCD interface prior to entering
it into the software tool for proper PC to Controller Communication through network interface.
(USB Interface users may skip this step)
To Configure the IP address on the controller, you must navigate to the CONF2 menu using the
LCD Interface. (Default password “password”)
a. Navigate to the “IP” menu and press the “ENTER” button.
b. Press the ‘↑’ button to allow for modification on the C_IP field and set the IP address
of the controller. For example, if the Modem/Router IP is 192.168.0.1 then the
controller IP could be set to 192.168.0.2. Press the “ENTER” button once the change
is complete.
c. Press the “Exit” button twice to exit out of the configuration menu. When prompted if
you would like to save configuration, press the ‘↑’ button to select “Y” (yes) and press
“Enter”.
d. Click the “reset” button on the controller.
You may view the 7000 Controller IP from the LCD interface via –MONITOR IP(C_IP)
