accessible from your location, you will need to move to a location
that has visibility to at least one of the satellites.
4. Once you have determined the best satellite to use, move the
antenna stand to the correct elevation angle
using the integrated protractor. Recall that the
elevation angle is indicated on the wMMI home
page. With the elevation angle correctly set,
place the
Thuraya
IP
on a flat surface with the
antenna facing in the direction of the satellite as
determined in step 3.
Protractor
5. You can optimise the receive signal strength by observing the signal
strength display on the
Thuraya
IP
while slowly rotating the
Thuraya
IP
a few degrees clockwise and counter clockwise. Find the direction
that maximizes the signal strength. Likewise, slowly raise and lower
the antenna a few degrees and find the elevation that maximizes
the signal strength. This step fine tunes the pointing of the antenna in
the direction of the
Thuraya
IP
satellite.

6. Once the
Thuraya
IP
obtains sufficient signal strength from the
satellite it will automatically connect and establish an IP data
session. Check this on the home page by confirming that the
“Network Status” line shows “Connected”.
Congratulations! Your
Thuraya
IP
is successfully connected. You should
now be able to send and receive data from your laptop to the internet
.
Note: If you are unable to successfully connect to the Internet, ensure
that nothing but open sky is between the
Thuraya
IP
and the
Thuraya
IP
Satellite. If the view is blocked by trees, mountains, buildings, metalized
glass or similar objects then you must relocate
Thuraya
IP
. Additional
assistance can be found in the troubleshooting section of the
Thuraya
IP
User Manual.
Do not stand in front of the Antenna
Thuraya
IP
emits radio frequency energy when in the transmit
mode. To avoid injury, do not place head or other body parts
in front of the antenna when system is operational.
