The pointing screen has a signal strength bar graph and numeric value to assist in accurate antenna pointing. The green bar identifies the signal strength measured during antenna pointing and will help you optimise the pointing direction. Note that obtaining the highest signal strength possible will ensure that you have an optimum connection to the network.
GPS Receiver: On/Off
GPS Satellites: The number of satellites visible to the unit
GPS Validity: Invalid, Stored or Valid. See the Global Positioning System Operation section for more details on GPS.
Point Antenna to These Settings: Compass Direction and Antenna Angle to help orient ThurayaIP toward the satellite. Once this rough pointing is accomplished, use the Signal Strength meter described below to optimise the pointing direction.
Signal Strength: This blue bar moves to the right as the signal received from the satellite gets stronger. The numeric display to the right of the bar is simply a digital representation of the bar. The orange
Exit Pointing: Select this button to leave the screen after optimum signal strength has been achieved. This action will take you to the Home screen on the wMMI.
Status: Status codes (see end of guide for a list).
