WARNING: Do not stand at the side or top of the Antenna
This device emits radio frequency energy when in the transmit
mode. To avoid injury, do not place head or other body parts
at the side or top of the Thuraya antenna when system is oper-
ational. Maintain a distance of one meter away from those
areas of the Thuraya antenna.
WARNING: In the vicinity of blasting work and in explosive envir-
onments
Never use the Thuraya IP Commander where blasting work is
in progress. Observe all restrictions and follow any reg-
ulations or rules. Areas with apotentially explosive envir-
onment are often, but not always, clearly marked. Do not use
the Thuraya IP Commander while at a fuel filling station. Do
not use near fuel or chemicals.
WARNING: Antenna
The antenna cable carries DC power. Always power the
IPCommander down prior to connecting or disconnecting the
antenna cable from either the Thuraya antenna or the
IPCommander.
Keep aclear line-of-sight to the satellite. Preferably, avoid all
obstructions within three meters of the Thuraya antenna.
Obstructions less than 150 mm (six inches) in diameter can
be ignored beyond this distance.
Do not locate the antenna close to interfering signal sources
or receivers. It is recommended that no other antennas be loc-
ated within three meters of the Thuraya antenna. If there is
other equipment installed near the Thuraya IP Commander, it
is recommended to operate all equipment simultaneously and
verify there is no co-interference.

WARNING: General
Handle your Thuraya IP Commander device with care. The
Thuraya antenna is weather resistant per IEC 60529 IP56;
however, do not submerge the unit. Avoid exposing the
Thuraya IP Commander to extreme hot or cold temperatures
outside the range -25 ºC to +55 ºC.
Avoid placing the IPCommander device close to open flames
or any source of heat.
Changes or modifications to the IPCommander device not
expressly approved by SRTWireless, LLC could void your
authority to operate this equipment.

DANGER: Pacemakers
The various brands and models of cardiac pacemakers avail-
able exhibit a wide range of immunity levels to radio signals.
Therefore, people who wear a cardiac pacemaker and who
want to use the Thuraya IP Commander should seek the advice
of their cardiologist. If, as a pacemaker user, you are still con-
cerned about interaction with the Thuraya IP Commander, we
suggest you follow these guidelines:
• Maintain a distance of 20 cm from the Wi-Fi antenna and your
pacemaker;
• Maintain a distance of one meter from the Thuraya antenna
front and sides and your pacemaker;
•Refer to your pacemaker product literature for information on
your particular device.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn off your Thuraya IP Commander immediately.

DANGER: Hearing Aids
Most new models of hearing aids are immune to radio fre-
quency interference from satellite terminals that are more than
2meters away. Many types of older hearing aids may be sus-
ceptible to interference, making it very difficult to use them near
aterminal. Should interference be experienced, maintain addi-
tional separation between you and the IP Commander.
DANGER: Electrical Storms
Operation of the Thuraya IP Commander during electrical
storms may result in severe personal injury or death.

Glossary
A
APN
Access Point Name. This is an authentication setting that allows your device to
connect to various services available on the Thuraya network.
C
Cat5
Category 5 cable (Cat 5) is atwisted pair cable for carrying signals. This type of
cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet. The
cable standard provides performance of up to 100 MHz and is suitable for
10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Eth-
ernet). Cat 5is also used to carry other signals such as telephony and video. The
cable is commonly connected using punch-down blocks and modular con-
nectors. Most Category 5 cables are unshielded, relying on the balanced line
twisted pair design and differential signaling for noise rejection. Category 5 has
been superseded by the Category 5e (enhanced) specification.
D
DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is astandardized net-
working protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks for dynamically dis-
tributing network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses for interfaces
and services. With DHCP computers request IP addresses and networking para-
meters automatically from a DHCP server, reducing the need for a network
administrator or a user from having to configure these settings manually.
DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is ahierarchical distributed naming system
for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private net-
work. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of
the participating entities. Most prominently, it translates easily memorized
domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of locating
computer services and devices worldwide. The Domain Name System is an
essential component of the functionality of the Internet.
E
Ethernet
Ethernet is afamily of computer networking technologies for local area net-
works (LANs). Ethernet was commercially introduced in 1980 and standardized
in 1983 as IEEE 802.3. The Ethernet standards comprise several wiring and

signaling variants of the OSI physical layer in use with Ethernet. The original
10BASE5 Ethernet used coaxial cable as ashared medium. Later the coaxial
cables were replaced with twisted pair and fiber optic links in conjunction with
hubs or switches. Data rates were periodically increased from the original 10
megabits per second to 100 gigabits per second.
G
GMPRS
Geo Mobile Packet Radio Service
GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is aspace-based satellite navigation sys-
tem that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, any-
where on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or
more GPS satellites.[1] The system provides critical capabilities to military, civil
and commercial users around the world. It is maintained by the United States
government and is freely accessible to anyone with aGPS receiver.
H
Hotspot Access Point
A hotspot is asite that offers Internet access over a wireless local area network
(WLAN) through the use of a router connected to alink to an Internet service
provider. Hotspots typically use Wi-Fi technology. Hotspots may be found in
coffee shops and various other public establishments in many developed urban
areas throughout the world.
I
IEEE
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is a professional association
headquartered in New York City that is dedicated to advancing technological
innovation and excellence. It has about 425,000 members in about 160 coun-
tries, slightly less than half of whom reside in the United States.
IPCommander
Sophisticated satellite terminal, permitting relatively high-speed data com-
munications over a satellite.
K
kbps
Akilobit per second –kbit/s, kbps, or kb/s – is a unit of data transfer rate equal
to: 1000 bits per second, or 125 bytes per second

L
LAN
Alocal area network (LAN) is a computer network that user interconnects com-
puters in alimited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office
building using network media. The defining characteristics of LANs, in contrast
to wide area networks (WANs), include their smaller geographic area, and non-
inclusion of leased telecommunication lines.
R
RJ-45
The 8position 8contact (8P8C) connector is a modular connector commonly
used to terminate twisted pair and multi-conductor flat cable. These connectors
are commonly used for Ethernet over twisted pair, registered jacks and other tele-
phone applications, RS-232 serial using the EIA/TIA 561 and Yost standards,
and other applications involving unshielded twisted pair, shielded twisted pair,
and multiconductor flat cable.
RSSI
RSSI is a generic radio receiver technology metric, which is usually invisible to
the user of the device containing the receiver, but is directly known to users of
wireless networking of IEEE 802.11 protocol family.
S
SIM
A subscriber identity module or subscriber identification module (SIM) is an
integrated circuit that securely stores the international mobile subscriber identity
(IMSI) and the related key used to identify and authenticate subscribers on
mobile telephony devices (such as mobile phones and computers).
SMA
SMA (SubMiniature version A) connectors are semi-precision coaxial RF con-
nectors developed in the 1960s as aminimal connector interface for coaxial cable
with ascrew type coupling mechanism. The connector has a 50 Ω impedance. It
is designed for use from DC to 18 GHz.
SpaceCom
Manufacturer of terrestrial antennas used for satellite communication.
SSID
Each BSS (Basic Service Set) or ESS (Extended Service Set) is identified by a
service set identifier (SSID) - a 1 to 32 byte string. This is normally a human-
readable string and thus commonly called the "network name". In an IBSS
(Independent BSS), the SSID is chosen by the client device that starts the

network, and broadcasting of the SSID is performed in a pseudo-random order
by all devices that are members of the network.
Switches
A network switch (sometimes known as aswitching hub) is a computer net-
working device that is used to connect devices together on a computer network.
Aswitch is considered more advanced than a hub because aswitch will only
send amessage to the device that needs or requests it, rather than broadcasting
the same message out of each of its ports.
T
TCP/IP
The Internet protocol suite is the networking model and aset of communications
protocols used for the Internet and similar networks. It is commonly known as
TCP/IP, because its most important protocols, the Transmission Control Pro-
tocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP), were the first networking protocols
defined in this standard. It is occasionally known as the DoD model, because the
development of the networking model was funded by DARPA, an agency of the
United States Department of Defense. TCP/IP provides end-to-end connectivity
specifying how data should be formatted, addressed, transmitted, routed and
received at the destination. This functionality has been organized into four
abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the
scope of networking involved. From lowest to highest, the layers are the link
layer, containing communication technologies for a single network segment
(link), the internet layer, connecting independent networks, thus establishing
internetworking, the transport layer handling process-to-process communication,
and the application layer, which interfaces to the user and provides support ser-
vices.
Thuraya
Thuraya is an international mobile satellite services provider based in the United
Arab Emirates. The company operates in more than 160 countries across
Europe, the Middle East, North, Central and East Africa, Asia and Australia.
With more than 350 roaming partners worldwide, Thuraya is the only mobile
satellite operator that offers GSM roaming services over mobile networks.
U
UTP
UTP cables are found in many Ethernet networks and telephone systems. For
indoor telephone applications, UTP is often grouped into sets of 25 pairs accord-
ing to a standard 25-pair color code originally developed by AT&T Corporation.
Atypical subset of these colors (white/blue, blue/white, white/orange,
orange/white) shows up in most UTP cables. The cables are typically made with
copper wires measured at 22 or 24 American Wire Gauge (AWG), with the
colored insulation typically made from an insulator such as polyethylene or FEP
and the total package covered in a polyethylene jacket.

W
WAN
Awide area network (WAN) is a network that covers a broad area (i.e., any tele-
communications network that links across metropolitan, regional, or national
boundaries) using private or public network transports. Business and gov-
ernment entities utilize WANs to relay data among employees, clients, buyers,
and suppliers from various geographical locations. In essence, this mode of tele-
communication allows a business to effectively carry out its daily function
regardless of location. The Internet can be considered a WAN as well, and is
used by businesses, governments, organizations, and individuals for almost any
purpose imaginable.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) are two
security protocols and security certification programs developed by the Wi-Fi
Alliance to secure wireless computer networks. The Alliance defined these in
response to serious weaknesses researchers had found in the previous system,
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). WPA (sometimes referred to as the draft
IEEE 802.11i standard) became available in 2003. The Wi-Fi Alliance intended
it as an intermediate measure in anticipation of the availability of the more secure
and complex WPA2. WPA2 became available in 2004 and is acommon short-
hand for the full IEEE 802.11i (or IEEE 802.11i-2004) standard.
WPA2
WPA2 has replaced WPA. WPA2, which requires testing and certification by
the Wi-Fi Alliance, implements the mandatory elements of IEEE 802.11i. In par-
ticular, it introduces CCMP, a new AES-based encryption mode with strong
security. Certification began in September, 2004; from March 13, 2006, WPA2
certification is mandatory for all new devices to bear the Wi-Fi trademark.
