iDirect Satellite Router Installation and Commissioning Guide 75
iDX Release 3.3
13 Setting Geo Location for
Secure Mobiles
This chapter describes how to enter the geographic location of a secure, mobile Satellite
Router.
This chapter includes the following sections:
• “Secure Mobile Remotes” on page75
• “Setting Geographic Location using the Console” on page76
• “Setting Geographic Location of an X7” on page76
Note: This chapter describes a specific operation
a
l scenario for configuring Satellite
Routers as both Mobile and Secure. If commissioning a Satellite Router that
does not fall into this category, skip this chapter.
Note: Evolution X1, X3, and e150 Satellite Routers cannot function as mobile or
“
itinerant” remotes.
13.1 Secure Mobile Remotes
A “secure mobile remote” is a mobile remote for which the Satellite Router’s geographic
location has not been recorded by the Network Operator and is not displayed either by the
NMS clients or by the remote commissioning and monitoring software. Secure mobile remotes
are configured in iBuilder by selecting the Mobile Security option on the Remote Geo
Location tab.
A secure mobile remote may be either a COTM mobile
remote that moves
across the footprint
of the satellite beam or an “itinerant” remote that is periodically moved from fixed location
to fixed location.
Once entered, secure geographic coordinates cannot be veri
fied locally. Therefore it is
important to exercise care when entering the data. The only sign that incorrect data for the
site has been entered will be failure of the Satellite Router to acquire the network. If in
doubt, re-enter the information as soon as possible.
WARNING! Geographic coordinates must accurately reflect the current geographic
location. If the values are incorrect, the Satellite Router will not acquire the
network and may interfere with network operation.
