2. OVERVIEW OF THE FLEETBROADBAND SYSTEM

BGAN Services
The Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) is a global Satellite Internet Network
using portable terminals. The terminals are usually connected to a laptop comput-
er to access broadband Internet in remote locations, where a line-of-sight to the
satellite exists. The user can make phone calls, access the Internet, check e-mail,
download files, or perform any other Internet activity using the terminals. The
network is provided by Inmarsat and uses three geostationary satellites called I-4
to provide almost global coverage.
The map below shows the three I-4 satellite coverage regions.

4.1 Installation of ADU

Planning the Installation

Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedures to ensure maxi-
mum performance of the antenna. The antenna should
be installed in a place where it has an all-around clear view of the horizon. Please
be sure there are no obstacles within 15 degrees above the antenna. Any obsta-
cles can prevent the antenna from tracking the satellite signal (Refer to the draw-
ing on the right).
Do not install the antenna near by the radar especially on the same plane as their
energy levels may overload the antenna front-end circuits. It is recommended to
position the antenna at least 4 feet (1.2m) above or below the level of the radar
and minimum of 15 feet (6m) away from the high power short wave radars.
The mounting platform should be rigid enough and not subjected to excessive
vibration. The movement of the antenna can be minimized
by installing at the center of the vessel. For optimal performance of the antenna, it
is not recommended to install at any corner of the vessel, where the movement of
the vessel is the greatest. Install the bottom
of the antenna parallel to the surface of the sea and fix tightly to the structure of
the vessel. When setting the antenna down, be careful not to damage the RF con-
nector. Striking the connectors on the bottom directly will damage the connector.

Caution: Antenna MUST be mounted on a mast and NEVER mounted flat on a deck as
water may enter the antenna through drain holes.

Remote access
By enabling the Remote Access option, user can remotely (from shore) access the
terminal’s  web   console via internet. In order to have a remote access, the termi-
nal should be set in Router Mode ( multi-user ) and a PDP context active. If there
is no active PDP context, the user can activate the PDP context by means by SMS
command.

To access the web console remotely, the user has to use the public IP address of
the PDP context.

Backup/Restore
Data backup and restore refers to the copying and archiving of data so it may be
used to restore the device settings after a data loss event. Partial backup option is
a time saving method to replicate the same set of setting across different terminals
of the same model.

It is recommended to save the backup data of the terminal in a storage media so

that in the event the there is any loss of data on the UT or primary computer, the
backup files will still be accessible.

Data backup/restore is easy to perform and can save the user a great amount of
time during the event of attempting service recovery after data loss.

There are 2 types of backup options.

1. Full backup – This apply only on the same terminal and not for distribution.
2. Partial backup – It allows distribution of certain settings to many terminals of the
same Model and Firmware version.

To restore the previous backup settings, you may click on Browse to locate the
backup file and restore accordingly.

Web

This tab allows user to configure the web access.

- HTTP
For remote access of web console, the user can configure the port number differ-
ent from the default Port number: 80 if user wants to host a web server on the PC

Serial Device

Note: Port forwarding rule must be configured prior to usage of this feature.

A serial device server can transfer data between the computer serial port (COM
port) and an Ethernet LAN. The serial device server is configured with a unique
TCP/IP port connection on a TCP/IP network.

After establishing a connection with the serial device via the UT, data transmission
can be monitored through Data Port 9001 locally (through Ethernet) or remotely
(through BGAN network).

Serial Device Server Configurations

From the WebConsole, navigate to Settings > Admin > Serial Device.

TCP/IP settings
• TCP alive check time
This indicates the inactivity timeout (min) after an idling TCP connection is discon-
nected.
0 min: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle TCP connection.
1 to 99 min: UT automatically closes the TCP connection if there is no TCP activity
for the given time. After the connection is closed, the UT starts listening for anoth-
er host’s TCP connection. Default is 10 min.

• TCP keep alive time

This indicates the alive time of the connection between the UT and remote PC. If
the user sets the keep alive time as 1 min, every 1 min, the terminal will send an
empty packet to let the remote PC knows the connection is still active.

• Inactivity time
0 min: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle serial line.
1 to 99 mins: UT automatically closes the TCP connection if there is no serial data
activity for the given time. After the connection is closed, the UT starts listening
for another host’s TCP connection. This parameter defines the maintenance status
as Closed or Listen for the TCP connection.
The connection is closed if there is no incoming or outgoing data through the seri-
al port during the specified inactivity time. Default is 0 ms.

123
FB150 User Manual

• Max connection
Max connection is used when the user needs to receive data from different hosts
simultaneously. The factory default only allows 1 connection at a time.
Max. connection 1: To open the TCP connection, UT allows only one host to the
specific serial port.
Max. connection 2 to 4: UT allows 2 to 4 TCP connections of the host to open the
serial port simultaneously.

• Command TCP port: 9000 ( user configurable ) – acts as a control port for data
transmission and listen the host to prevent the conflict with other applications.

• Data TCP port: 9001 ( user configurable ) - acts as the TCP port that the data
actually transmits through this port. After establishing the connection, data can be
transmitted in both directions – from PC to port 9001 and from port 9001 to PC.

Serial settings
Users can choose the respective baud rates from 4800 to 115200.

Remote Control
Under the Remote Control section, there is the Host allow list and Host deny list in
the form of IP address/mask (e.g. 10.0.0.1/24). If both lists are empty, it means that
no filtering is done.

• Hosts allow list defines networks from which we accept the SIOSERV traf
• Hosts deny list defines networks from which we deny the SIOSERV traffic

Note: The deny list takes place precedence over the allow lists.
