Settings Page 

General Setup  

This page allows the user to configure various parameters of the 
UT.  A description of each item follows: 

Terminal Startup 

– by default, “Bypass Antenna Pointing” is 

not selected, but if the terminal is permanently mounted, you can 
select this option to bypass antenna pointing on subsequent 
power-ups.  For permanent installs you can also configure the 
unit to “Always power on when mains is connected” to avoid 
having to use the power button. 

Connection

: this field controls the satellites the UT will try to 

connect to. With the default “Automatic” selection it will search 
for all satellites. If an individual satellite is selected the UT will 
only search for and use the selected satellite. 

 

 

 

Streaming 

– By enabling this parameter, the user can turn on a 

timer for inactivity on streaming connections.  The timer is in 
either seconds or minutes and will tear down a streaming context 
after 

X

 seconds or minutes of inactivity.
