Access Controller FB-10 Quick Start Guide
(for mini-VSAT Broadbandsm & FleetBroadband or Fleet connections)
The following supplemental instructions explain how to connect
Livewire Connections’ Access Controller to both a mini-VSAT
Broadband system (e.g., TracPhone®V7) and a FleetBroadband or
Fleet system (e.g., TracPhone FB250, FB500, FB150, F33, F55, or F77).
For complete setup and operation information, including advanced
configurations (e.g., firewall settings, port forwarding, remote access,
and access control), refer to the Access Controller’s user
documentation.
NOTE: These instructions assume you have already installed both antenna
systems.
NOTE: Microsoft’s .NET Framework is required to run the Access Controller
software. The Access Controller software installer will prompt you to
download .NET Framework from the Internet if it’s not already installed on
the PC. At press time, the file size of the .NET Framework download was
approximately 870 KB. Please note that normal airtime charges will apply if
you choose to download this file via a satellite connection.
