ations. A dimensioned drawing (Figure 6) is provided to assist you in fabricating a mount-
ing bracket.
NOTE: The M6X1.0 bolts used to attach mounting hardware to the Thuraya
IP Commander enclosure need to be short enough so that after taking into
account the thickness of the bracket and any washers, the maximum per-
missible length going into the threaded hole is 0.160 inches (about 3/16 inch).
The enclosure is aluminum; do not overtighten the bolts, as it may strip the
threads.
Because of its small size, and ability to be controlled with a web browser, the
Thuraya
IP Commander
enclosure can be mounted almost anywhere, in plain sight, or stashed
away, out of sight. The only physical control is the
Power/Reset
button. If you need to
reboot the device, take the
Thuraya
handset that is wired to the
IP Commander
and enter

on the handset’s keypad.
As stated in the previous section, care must be taken to route the rf coaxial cable so that it
either does not go through a vehicle’s door or hatch (being crushed by the door seals), or if
there is no alternative, ensure that the cable goes across the softest and most flexible part of
the seal.
