Usage
General
This is the default page of the connector. It displays general information about the device.
Monitor Control
On this page, you can control the Monitor settings.
ACU Status
This page contains a table with several important Antenna Control Unit measurements. Rows are added to the table every hour.
Configuration
This page contains several settings similar to those available on the web interface of the device.
Via page buttons, settings and information related to the following aspects are available: Antenna blocked zones, navigation, system errors, network topology, LNB (Low-Noise Bock Converter), AGC (Automatic Gain Control), Modem, etc.
Tracking
This page provides access to the system tracking settings. The tracking settings are generally best left to the control system to determine, and should therefore only be modified in exceptional circumstances.
Acquisition
This page provides access to the system acquisition settings. The acquisition settings are used by the system to locate and lock onto the desired satellite.
Satellite
On this page, you can set the target satellite parameters for a geosynchronous satellite.
Host Platform
This page allows you to alter the vessel's position and heading. The vessel position and heading are used in the acquisition calculation. Vessel average speed is calculated based on the vessel's last positions.
Servo
This page provides access to the servo loop tuning variables.
System Mode
On this page, you can control the modes of operation.
Status
This page displays several real-time measurements.
Status Monitor ADT
This page displays several real-time monitor status measurements related to the ADT Sensors.
Status Monitor ARS
This page displays several real-time monitor status measurements related to the ARS Sensors.
Status Monitor
This page displays the remaining real-time monitor status measurements.
