GPS
Sets the GPS position of the vessel for searching for a satellite. Check the GPS
status connected to the antenna system. The indicator left of the help button
shows the GPS status. Make sure the GPS indicator is Blue (blinking). (Blue
(blinking): the system received a correct GPS input. Black: the system has not
received a GPS input. You can enter the GPS value manually to set the GPS
position.)
• Longitude(º): sets Longitude information (East / West).
• Latitude(º): sets Latitude information (North / South).

Heading Device
Sets the ship's heading device. Choose the device type from the
Current
Device
drop-down list. The indicator left of the help button shows the device
connection 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 (0183), Static).
• Baud Rate: select the band rate (4800, 9600, 19200, 38400). It must be set
when
NMEA
is selected on the
Current Device
list.
• Heading(º): enter the heading information.

BOW Offset
For setting bow offset, you need to select a satellite which is trackable in
satellite library information. When the antenna tracks the selected satellite, bow
offset will be set up automatically.
• Current Bow Offset (º): Enter the Bow Offset Range (0 – 360°).

Apply
button to apply the settings to the system.

Blockage
It is important to set up the blockage zones for Intellian VSAT. The VSAT system
can be programmed with relative azimuth and elevation sectors to create up to
five zones for transmission mute.
It is indicated when the antenna is within one of the zones. A transmit inhibit
output from the ACU will disable/mute the modem transmission within the
blockage zones.
The AZ START is the relative azimuth angle where the blockage starts, and the
AZ END is the relative azimuth where the blockage ends (Range: 0 ~ 360).
The EL is the elevation angle where the blockage is set (Range: 0 ~ 90). The
blockage is activated below the elevation angle.
