status. (Blue: a ship's heading device is connected. Black: a ship's heading device
is not connected.)
• Current Device: select the heading device (None / NMEA / NMEA 2000 / Static).
• Baud Rate: select the band rate (4800 / 9600 / 19200 / 38400). It must be set
when "NMEA" is selected on the "Current Device" list.
• Sentence: displays the sentence information. When "NMEA" is selected on the
"Current Device" list, this item appears.

Blockage
It is important to set up the blockage zones for Intellian VSAT. The ACU can be
programmed with relative azimuth and elevation sectors to create up to five zones
where transmit power could endanger personnel who are frequently in that area
or blockage exists. Several indications are provided when the antenna is within
one of these zones. A transmit inhibit output from the ACU will disable/mute the
modem transmission within zones set in this steps The AZ. The START is where
the relative azimuth starts and AZ. END is where the relative azimuth ends (Range:
0 - 360°). EL is where the elevation blockage starts (Range 0 - 90°).
Click the "Apply" button to apply the settings to the system.
