2.9. FCC Compliance
This antenna system, with current software, contain FCC compliant supervisory software to continuously
monitor the pedestal pointing error. This supervisory software will trip an error flag, which will automatically
cease transmission within 100 milliseconds, if the pointing error should exceed 0.5 degrees. Transmission will
not resume until the pointing error drops below 0.2 degrees.
To be compliant with these FCC requirements, the “Transmit Mute” output of the Sea Tel below decks
controller must be connected to the “Mute Input” of the satellite modem via serial or via an Ethernet
connection to the modem.
2.10. Cyber Security Caution
Sea Tel Antenna systems are not intended to be connected directly to the Internet. They must be connected
behind a dedicated network security device such as a firewall. In addition, we highly recommended that you
change default passwords. This is an extremely important consideration that must be taken into account as
part of commissioning procedures as attackers with malicious intent (after easily obtaining default passwords
and identify internet-connected systems) can be rendered a system inoperable.
For clarification purposes, the factory default Passwords/Configurations are only intended for initial
production testing/verification purposes and it is an assumed responsibility of the installing partner to change
and record the login credentials and is shared only with persons whom are directly responsible for
operation/maintenance of the system. Instructions on how to change passwords may be located within the
system manual.
