Do not stand in front of the Antenna
ThurayaIP emits radio frequency energy w en in t e transmit
mode. To avoid injury, do not place ead or ot er body parts
in front of t e antenna w en system is operational.
Quick Reference
T is section serves as a reference guide, identifying t e key operational
aspects of using t e ThurayaIP system and t e Controls and Indicators
on ThurayaIP and t eir functions.
Global Positioning System Operation
T e ThurayaIP contains an integrated Global Positioning System (GPS)
receiver t at is used to provide location information. GPS location
information is required for system access, and t e reception of a new
GPS location is attempted automatically every time ThurayaIP is
powered on.
For optimum GPS signal reception, make sure ThurayaIP is positioned in
a roug ly orizontal placement. Since GPS receivers must “see” a large
part of t e sky wit out obstructions from buildings, mountains or trees, it
may be necessary to take your ThurayaIP out to a clear space to obtain
a new GPS location. It may be possible to obtain a new GPS location in
a less favourable circumstance, but t e time to completion may be
longer.
Once updated, ThurayaIP remembers your location so t e unit can be
relocated to a more convenient working area, suc as inside a building
by a window facing toward t e satellite.
Once you ave establis ed a session on ThurayaIP you will not need
anot er GPS location w ile you remain connected in t e “Always On”
condition. T is is convenient if you intend to operate from one location
for an extended period of time since t ere is no need to move
ThurayaIP to refres t e GPS receiver. Also, your stored GPS location
remains good for a period of time even if you power down and move a
s ort distance between sessions. W en you believe t is is t e case,
simply skip t e GPS location step and complete t e ThurayaIP satellite
pointing operation prior to going directly onto t e network. Be sure to
carefully point your unit every time it is moved.

8 ThurayaIP Satellite Modem User Guide
S TORED GPS L OCATION
T e most recent GPS location is stored in ThurayaIP even w en powered
down. Upon power up, t e ThurayaIP will attempt to update t is GPS
location since t e T uraya system will only allow access if your GPS
location is not too old. If ThurayaIP as a valid GPS location t en t e
GPS icon on t e display will go from flas ing to solid. Likewise, t e web
MMI will indicate if t e currently available GPS location is valid or invalid.
Integrated Man Machine Interface (iMMI)
T e ThurayaIP as an Integrated Man Machine Interface (iMMI) w ic
allows you to control t e operational features of t e terminal wit out t e
need of a PC or a browser. T e iMMI includes buttons labelled wit
