Hughes warranty ThurayaIP Satellite Modem User Guide

MUX: Multiplexer.

PDP: Packet Data Protocol.

Pointing Mode: In this mode, using ThurayaIP Protractor and Compass, and referencing the Pointing Screen for indications of signal strength, you manipulate the Modem antenna to get the optimum Thuraya Satellite signal strength for your network connection. Pointing is required during Modem set-up or if the Modem has been moved from its previous location. Once you have obtained the best antenna position, you can enter Normal Operational Mode and be ready to perform standard activities.

Protractor: An instrument that measures angles, ThurayaIP protractor provides the current angle of the antenna so that you can adjust it to the antenna angle specified on the Pointing Screen.

QoS: Quality of Service.

SIM: Subscriber Identification Module. Your Service Provider issues you a SIM, containing your SIM Personal Identification Number (PIN) and other security-related information. You insert the SIM into ThurayaIP SIM holder as part of Modem hardware setup. If you configure the Modem to enable SIM PIN security, each time you invoke the Modem wMMI after turning on the Modem, PIN authorisation is required in order to use the system.

SIM PIN: A Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) Personal Identification Number (PIN) may be supplied by your Service Provider. If SIM PIN entry is enabled on ThurayaIP wMMI Security Management screen, a prompt requests you to enter the SIM PIN each time you run the wMMI. This helps prevent unauthorised use of your SIM.

SNDCP: Sub-network Dependent Convergence Protocol.

Static IP Address: A static Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is assigned to a computer by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to be its permanent address on the Internet. Computers use IP addresses to locate and talk to each other on the Internet. If Static IP addressing is enabled on ThurayaIP wMMI Network Settings screen, you must enter an IP address supplied by your Service Provider in the Static Public Network IP Address field that follows.

Status Code: A number which uniquely references an event or condition in a hardware or software system. In ThurayaIP, if there is a fault detected, the status code and a description are displayed at the bottom of the Modem wMMI Home and Status screens.
