SIM card
The terminal has a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) slot located in the connector panel
behind a small cover plate. The terminal requires a dedicated SAILOR Fleet One SIM card,
which you get from your airtime provider.
The system requires a SIM card to go online and to access the settings of the terminal.
However, using the web interface you can view the Dashboard and upload software without
inserting a SIM card.
Router function
The SAILOR Fleet One terminal has a router function which routes traffic between the local
network connected to the terminal and network connections on the BGAN network.
The router contains NAT (Network Address Translation) which allows sharing of a public IP
address between a number of local network users.
Tools for setup and use
The built-in web interface in the terminal is used for easy configuration and daily use. The
web interface is accessed from a computer connected to the terminal, using an Internet
browser. No installation of software is needed.
For details on the web interface, see The built-in web interface on page 51.
The ThraneLINK Management Application (TMA) is a Windows program that provides
monitoring and software update of connected Cobham SATCOM devices with ThraneLINK
support. The devices must be on the same LAN.
If you have an IP Handset (minimum version 1.8) from Cobham SATCOM, it can be used for
displaying status, accessing a subset of controls and views and entering the PIN code for the
terminal. The IP Handset connects to the LAN interface of the terminal. For information on
how to use the IP Handset, see the user manual for the IP Handset (listed in Related
documents on page v).
