6.2 Calibration
Before the SAILOR 100 GX can be used you must select a heading input
setting in order to make an azimuth and cable calibration. The azimuth
calibration is required in order to determine the offset of the ADU zero
direction to the bow-to-stern line of the ship. This procedure is fully
automatic. The satellite data for calibration can be entered directly on
the calibration page or you can define a Service profile to be used for
the azimuth calibration. A cable calibration is required in order to record
the cable characteristics of the antenna cable which is used in the
SAILOR 100 GX fixed gain feature. See Fixed TX IF principle on page 6-
15 for more information.
After the calibration you can set up blocking zones for the specific
installation.
The following sections describe the steps for a successful calibration:
1. Service profile for calibration
2. Heading input
3. Azimuth calibration
4. Cable calibration
5. Manual One Touch Commissioning (BUC calibration)
6.2.1 Service profile for calibration
You can set up a service profile for calibration. Use this approach if you
do not want to enter the satellite parameters directly on the calibration
page.
To setup a service profile do as follows:
1. Connect a PC to LAN connector 3 (Service port, standard Ethernet)
of the ACU or to the front LAN connector of the ACU.
2. Open an Internet browser and enter the IP address of the ACU
(Default: http://192.168.0.1).
3. Type in the user name admin and the password 1234 to access the
Dashboard.
4. Select ADMINISTRATION and log on with User name: admin,
Password: 1234
5. Select SETTINGS > Satellite profiles > New entry. Enter the
name of the satellite profile for calibration (a name of your own
choice, e.g. IOR Inmarsat GX).
6. Use the VSAT modem profile Service GX from the drop-down list.
Make sure that the GMU is switched off at this point.
Switch on the GMU after the cable calibration.
