Equipment Setup
1. Carefully attach the “rubber duck” whip antenna to the SMA connector (item

CAUTION: The SMA connector is very fragile. Tighten connector “finger tight.” Do
not use tools to tighten.

Thuraya IP Commander
(item

TNC connector on the
Thuraya SpaceCom
antenna. Place the antenna outside with a
full view of the sky.

Thuraya IP Commander
(item

Thuraya IP Commander
(item
