Quick Reference
This sec tion serves a s a referenc e guide, identifying the key opera tiona l
a spec ts of using the ThurayaIP system a nd the Controls and Indicators
on ThurayaIP a nd their func tions.
Global Positioning System Operation
The ThurayaIP c onta ins a n integra ted G loba l Positioning System (G PS)
rec eiver tha t is used to provide loc a tion informa tion. G PS loc a tion
informa tion is required for system a c c ess, a nd the rec eption of a new
G PS loc a tion is a ttempted a utoma tic a lly every time ThurayaIP is
powered on.
For optimum G PS signa l rec eption, ma ke sure ThurayaIP is positioned in
a roughly horizonta l pla c ement. Sinc e G PS rec eivers must “see” a la rge
pa rt of the sky without obstruc tions from buildings, mounta ins or trees, it
ma y be nec essa ry to ta ke your ThurayaIP out to a c lea r spa c e to obta in
a new G PS loc a tion. It ma y be possible to obta in a new G PS loc a tion in
a less fa voura ble c irc umsta nc e, but the time to c ompletion ma y be
longer.
Onc e upda ted, ThurayaIP remembers your loc a tion so the unit c a n be
reloc a ted to a more c onvenient working a rea , suc h a s inside a building
by a window fa c ing towa rd the sa tellite.
Onc e you ha ve esta blished a session on ThurayaIP you will not need
a nother G PS loc a tion while you remain c onnec ted in the “Alwa ys On”
c ondition. This is c onvenient if you intend to opera te from one loc a tion
for a n extended period of time sinc e there is no need to move
ThurayaIP to refresh the G PS rec eiver. Also, your stored G PS loc a tion
rema ins good for a period of time even if you power down a nd move a
short dista nc e between sessions. When you believe this is the c a se,
simply skip the G PS loc a tion step a nd c omplete the ThurayaIP sa tellite
pointing opera tion prior to going direc tly onto the network. Be sure to
c a refully point your unit every time it is moved.
STORED GPS LOCATION
The most rec ent G PS loc a tion is stored in ThurayaIP even when powered
down. Upon power up, the ThurayaIP will a ttempt to upda te this G PS
loc a tion sinc e the Thura ya system will only a llow a c c ess if your G PS
loc a tion is not too old. If ThurayaIP ha s a va lid G PS loc a tion then the
G PS ic on on the displa y will go from fla shing to solid. Likewise, the web
MMI will indic a te if the c urrently a va ila ble G PS loc a tion is va lid or inva lid.
