Usage
General
This page contains general system parameters, such as the System Description, System Contact, System Name, etc.
Interfaces
This page displays the Interface Table, which contains information related to the network interfaces of the device, such as Type, MTU, Speed, Data Rate, etc.
Status
This page contains the main status information: Status Lock, Latitude, Elevation, Status Track, TX Polarization, Bow Offset, etc.
Status Overview
Every 5 minutes, the ACU Status Overview table on this page is filled in with a new entry detailing the Azimuth Relative Position, Elevation Position, NBD Frequency and Satellite Name at that particular time.
Blind Sector
This page contains the Blind Sector Table, where Azimuth/Elevation Start/Stop angles can be filled in. This way, an alarm can be generated via the In Blind Sector parameter when the satellite is in one of the defined blind sectors.
The History Table page button shows all the blind sector events in the last History Age month(s).
Blocked Zones
This page displays a table with information regarding the antenna blocked zones in the ships (Blocking Interval: Azimuth Start and End, Elevation).
Blocking zones can be pre-configured via a page button.
Export GPS Trace
On this page, you can enable or disable the GPS data export feature (storing GPS locations in the database) and adjust the corresponding settings.
Web Interface
This page displays the web interface of the device. However, note that the client machine has to be able to access the device, as otherwise it will not be possible to open the web interface.
Notes
This connector is accompanied by a custom Visio file containing a compass scheme on the left, which shows the ship heading (compass needle), the satellite positioning and the satellite communication blocked areas (blue semi-circles).
