FCC and INDUSTRY CANADA INFORMATION TO THE USER:

The FCC and Industry Canada have imposed the following conditions when operating, installing and deploying iNetVu® Mobile Earth Stations and is mandatory for all installations made within the Continental United States and Canada as well as Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and other U.S. Territories. The FCC requires that a certified installer perform the installation. It is also strongly recommended that a qualified professional RV dealer/installer mount the system on your vehicle. These conditions are also required by C-COM for all other installed locations.

All iNetVu® Mobile earth station installers must be C-COM Certified, and must have specifically acknowledged the requirements for iNetVu® Mobile installations, which are as follows:

1. “Installation” is the physical mounting and wiring of the Satellite provider’s earth station on a vehicle or other stationary site in order to prepare for correct operation. Only Certified C-COM iNetVu installers may perform the installation and removal of an iNetVu® Mobile system.

2. “Deployment” means the raising, pointing and orienting of the earth station to the communicating satellite, every time it is raised from a stowed position for use. The deployment of an iNetVu® Mobile system must only be done by a trained installer or by a consumer using the deployment software.

3. Installers shall install the iNetVu® systems only in locations that are not readily accessible to children and in a manner that prevents human exposure to potential radiation hazards.

4. For large vehicles with roof mounts, the height of the bottom lip of the earth station when fully deployed must be at least six feet above the ground at all times, or six feet above a surrounding surface which a person may easily access.

5. If a roof access ladder or any other means of access to the roof is installed on the vehicle, then the ladder or access must be blocked by a suitable rope or other barrier while the earth station is deployed or in operation. The installer must provide this rope or barrier directly to the end user at the time of installation and advise the user to use it at all times when the earth station is deployed or in operation. Warning signs shall also be provided by the installer to the end user to be posted on the improper installation or due to the failure to provide required information to the end user.

6. Installers and end users will be deemed directly liable for any damages resulting from either of their failure to comply with the above rules. These rules are meant to ensure that extraordinary precautions and measures are used to prevent satellite interference or exposure to harmful radiation. C-COM reserves the rights to immediately suspend without liability or previous notice the operation of the earth station upon detection of a deviation from its installation or operational requirements until the deviation is corrected. In addition, C-COM reserves the right to suspend or cancel the Installer Certificate of any installer that has not fully complied with these installation requirements.

Including but not limited to, any modification of any part of the hardware, software, specific operational frequencies, the authorized satellite, or the size or other characteristics of the earth station supplied to them by CCOM or C-COM’s authorized representatives. Warning signs shall be posted at prominent locations on the earth station informing all persons of the danger of harmful radiation from the earth station while it is deployed or while in operation.

8. The iNetVu® Mobile system may only be operated when the vehicle is stationary.

9. The installer must inform the end user that the vehicle must be stabilized during the transmission, to prevent movement of the vehicle for any reason, including movement of persons on or off the vehicle, or high winds. The installer shall advise the end user how to appropriately stabilize their vehicle.

10. Installers shall be liable for all damages if they fail to comply with the above mandatory conditions. This includes, but is not limited to damages caused by improper installation or due to the failure to provide required information to the end user.

1. Introduction

The iNetVu® 7710 Controller is a one-box, one-touch solution for satellite auto-acquisition. Designed to interface with a number of Satellite Modems, iNetVu® VSATs, and DVB-S/DVBS2ACM Receivers, the iNetVu® 7710 Controller connects to iNetVu® platforms which are equipped with 7720 on-board module (Remote Controller). The 7710 will only work with the remote on-board 7720 controller and the same holds true for the 7720. The iNetVu® 7710 Controller is easily configurable and operated antenna controller unit which comes with the combined GPS/GLONASS Satellite Navigation System.

Fig. 1: iNetVu® 7710 Controller

Fig. 2: iNetVu® 7720 Controller

The iNetVu® 7710 Controllers are fully functional and configurable straight out of the box solution. No PC or monitor required. An I/O GLONASS/GPS Module inside the 7720 module and the capability to connect an external GLONASS/GPS device via serial port, a DVB-S2ACM/CCM Tuner, an onboard LCD displaying real-time system status, and a Keypad Navigator, makes it easy to use the iNetVu® 7710 Controller by simply configuring the controller right from the front panel.

The iNetVu® 7710 Controllers along with any iNetVu® platform can work as a complete standalone unit. No modem or RF splitters are required for satellite acquisition. The LNB can be powered straight from the controller.

The 7710 (central board) with the 7720 (remote drive module) Controllers complement the iNetVu® New Generation systems allowing movement on three axis simultaneously improving satellite acquisition speed and accuracy.

a) MDM (Modem Communication)

If the COM port is used to establish communication between the Controller and the VSAT Modem (i.e. iDirect, Viasat, etc.), then MDM must be selected in this field, along with the Baud Rate the Modem operates on, prior to configuring the Service, and Communication Interface.

MDM--4800 MDM--9600 MDM--38400

b) B_R (Beacon Receiver)

The Beacon Receiver is a satellite acquisition lock controller that could be used alongside the 7710 Controller as an option. The Beacon Receiver will lock on the Beacon Frequency of a satellite based on the power density of the signal. If the optional Beacon Receiver is used, B_R must be selected for the console. The default baud rate is 2400.

iNetVu™ 7710 Controller User Manual

C-COM Satellite Systems Inc.

c) NMEA

This option allows the user to communicate and output GPS readings/values from the 7710 Controller via COM Port (RS232) connection. The default baud rate is 9600.

d) DBUG-19200 (internal use only)

2 – Unattended Operation

This option is used for remote operations where system is left unattended as the name indicates,

mainly for unmanned sites. This feature must not be used when the iNetVu system is being moved around or in transport mode. In this case, the system should be powered off completely. Otherwise, there is a risk of the antenna attempting to deploy while vehicle is moving. Please ensure this feature is turned off when vehicle is in transit from one location to another.

The user may disable, or set the unattended re-deploy delay time to 5, 10, or 15 minutes. If the system detects motion it will wait 1min, if dish still on signal the system will re-acquire satellite, otherwise the dish will stow due to motion or movement, the system will automatically re-acquire satellite depending on the user entered delay time after stow. Initial stow will only wait 30 seconds no matter what the selected delay time is set to before re-acquiring satellite. For example, if the user selects 5 minutes from the drop down menu, and the system stows due to motion or movement while operational, on first stow it will only wait 30 seconds before re-acquiring satellite.

The second stow, system waits Five (5) minutes + 30 seconds before automatically re-acquire the satellite signal. The routine uses the following formula: Waiting Time for re-acquire == 30S+ (retry

times*selected delay time) default retry time at first stow is 0, second stow is 1, etc… until one (1) hour

(3600 seconds) reached. If after (1) hour system does not find satellite it will continue to try on every hour thereafter. The retry time will be reset 0 after each time the system locks on satellite.

DIS: Disabled 1: Re-acquire Satellite in 5 minutes 2: Re- acquire Satellite in 10 minutes 3: Re- acquire Satellite in 15 minutes

DANGER: The system may try to deploy if this option is selected and vehicle becomes in

motion. Unattended option must be disabled when vehicle is moving and system is NOT powered off.

3 –DHCP Status

The 7710 Controller can be programmed to obtain an IP address from a DHCP Server (i.e.

modem, router, etc.)

5 – Motion Protection

iNetVu

Platform will automatically stow if the antenna detects extreme motion, such as severe shaking caused by poor weather conditions. If the shaking/shift is in small increments the system will not stow assuming signal is not lost. If the small motion/movement count (12 small movements in 30 seconds) logged in a specific time window exceeds the set threshold the system will re-peak if signal exists or stow if signal lost. System will redeploy if stowed due to

environment condition and “unattended Operation” is enabled, system will try to redeploy

according to configured unattended time.

Satellites that user can select from by simply clicking on the drop down arrow. Satellites 1 to 64 can be preconfigured and saved to allow user to search for desired satellite. Beam color will be displayed and will not be selectable if “Auto-select Beam color” is enabled for Tooway. Currently Only 16 can be set with the remaining to be added in future versions. Sat 1 is default satellite and will be the one searched on if no other is selected from the drop down list.

Find Satellite

Automatically finds and locks onto the satellite signal by communicating with the Satellite Modem and using the GPS coordinates, the compass heading, and internal parameters of the Satellite Modem. Typically, it takes approximately 3-5 minutes to find satellite. If the Antenna is already pointed on the satellite, clicking Find Satellite will re-peak the Antenna onto the signal. Search routine will ignore GPS and RF status until after compass heading has been read to reduce search time. If GPS and RF conditions not met after 60 seconds the search will fail and a message will be displayed.

8.2.2.2 Offset

EL Offset

The inclinometer used to read the elevation angle will compensate for an incline up to +/- 15º. For example if a user is on a 10º slope and the system is searching along the azimuth, if the elevation reading changes due to a horizontal incline, the elevation will adjust to maintain the correct elevation angle while searching along the azimuth Offset.

The Elevation Offset is specific to each type of platform. It is the number of degrees at which the iNetVu

Mobile Software will offset the reading from the Inclinometer in order to produce an accurate (+/- 2°) Elevation Angle.

Compass Offset

It’s the required adjustment to reorient the compass heading to the actual magnetic North by taking into consideration the metal surrounding around the compass location on the Antenna platform. This value is calculated automatically by the iNetVu software once the system gets automatically pointed to the right satellite.

8.2.2.5 GPS

Fig. 72: Maintenance – GPS Parameters

GPS Override Checkbox

Enables the GPS coordinates to be manually overridden. This should only be enabled in the event that the GPS Antenna is malfunctioning and the user has a reliable, alternate source for coordinates. If this

box is checked, the GPS coordinates should be manually entered in the ‘GPS Lat’, and the ‘GPS Lon’

fields described.

**Note: If you have overridden the GPS coordinates, they will have to be updated if the

Mobile Platform has moved to a new location since the overridden values will no longer be accurate.

Warning: Overriding the GPS prevents the movement protection feature from working

properly, and will not stow the antenna if vehicle drives off, as neither speed nor GPS relocation can be detected. Moving vehicle speed must reach min 5km/h plus Elevation angle change of 2 degrees or more with GPS coordinates change in order for the movement protection feature to trigger.

8.2.2.6 Operation Mode

Unattended Operation

This option is used for remote operations where system is left unattended as the name indicates, mainly for unmanned sites. This feature must not be used when the iNetVu system is being moved around or in transport mode. In this case, the system should be powered off completely. Otherwise, there is a risk the antenna will attempt to deploy while vehicle is moving. Please ensure this feature is disabled when vehicle is in transit from one location to another.

The user may disable, or set the unattended re-deploy delay time to 5, 10, or 15 minutes. If the system detects motion it will wait 1min, if antenna is still on signal the system will re-acquire satellite, otherwise the antenna will stow due to motion or movement, the system will automatically re-acquire satellite depending on the selected delay time after stow. Initial stow will only wait 30 seconds no matter what the selected delay time is set to before re-acquiring satellite. If the re-acquire fails, the system will stow and wait for the next time period to try and re-acquire satellite signal.

For example, if the user selects 5 minutes from the drop down menu, and the system stows due to motion or movement while operational, on first stow it will only wait 30 seconds before re-acquiring satellite. On the second stow, system waits Five (5) minutes + 30 seconds before automatically reacquiring the satellite signal. The routine uses the following formula: Waiting Time for re-acquire == 30S+

(retry times*selected delay time) default retry time at first stow is 0, second stow is 1, etc… until one (1)

hour (3600 seconds) reached. If after (1) hour system does not find satellite it will continue to try on every hour thereafter. The retry time will be reset 0 after each time the system locks on satellite.

DIS: Disabled 1: Re-acquire Satellite in 5 minutes 2: Re- acquire Satellite in 10 minutes 3: Re- acquire Satellite in 15 minutes

DANGER: The system may try to deploy if this option is selected and vehicle becomes in

motion. Unattended option must be disabled when vehicle is moving between locations and system is NOT powered off.

Motion Protection

The iNetVu® Mobile Platform will automatically stow the antenna should it experience extreme motion, such as severe shaking caused by harsh weather conditions. Box selected implies Motion Protection is enabled. If the shaking/shift is in small increments the system will not stow assuming signal is not lost. If the small motion/movement count (12 small movements in 30 seconds) logged in a specific time window exceeds the set threshold the system will re-peak if signal exists or stow if signal is lost. This feature stows the antenna but does not attempt to re-acquire signal. This feature does not work properly if combined with the inclined operation.

Movement Protection (not a selectable option)

The movement protection option is always enabled and is embedded into the controller. Antenna will stow automatically when vehicle begins to drive off. The movement protection feature will not function properly if the GPS is overridden because movement protection relies on change of GPS speed (min 5 km/h) and

LNB Power (V)

In cases where the LNB requires more power than the modem can provide, or if the user would like to power the LNB from the controller, or if the user would like to find satellite without the use of a modem, this option allows for power from the controller to be supplied to the LNB through the RX IN cable from the controller to the platform itself.

DIS – will disable this option, and provide power to the LNB straight from the modem. In this case, a

splitter must be used for the RF connection as depicted in the figure below.

Fig. 75: RF Cable Setup for DIS selection

7710 Controller Power Output Range Option Capabilities: 13, 14, 18, 19 V @ 500mA (max)

If the user chooses to power the LNB from the controller, he/she should verify the power/voltage range requirements of the LNB in use, and configure the iNetVu® 7710 Controller according to those power/voltage requirements.

LNB_LO

This drop down menu allows the user to change the LNB frequency settings to relock back onto satellite signal. The Normal operation setting is 10.75 and the controller default setting will reflect this; users should use the default setting at all times with carriers from table list or a carrier can be manually entered. If required to change LNB LO, than DVB frequency will also change as per the following equation: DVB tuner==IF frequency + (10.75-LO), where LO = the selected LO from the menu, IF Frequency is the selected/entered Frequency from menu (or Satparam database table).

The option on the modem side must match the status option on the DVB Transponder side. The 22 KHz tone can be disabled or enabled for supporting modems that allow for acquisition with LNBs that switch frequency ranges by adjusting the 22 KHz tone. This option is disabled by default.

DVB-S1/DVB-S2A

Required on Hughes Ku (HX Modem) the DVB-S type of the modem to be set to allow the modem to stay online after the TX enable command has been sent from the controller. If the DVB-S type on the modem is not set to the same as the controller (default used is DVB-S) the communication will be lost after modem goes online.

Disable ACP

This checkbox allows the user to enable or disable the ACP process for the HNS supported modems. If this box is selected, the modem will not perform ACP and will try to enable the transmitter automatically after peaking. If this box is NOT selected, the controller will attempt to perform an ACP after peaking on satellite and before enabling the transmitter

iDirect Modem Options:

iDirect’s Auto Beam Selection provides the mobile user coverage with a single modem without having to reconfigure the modem when moving between different regions that possess different satellite beams in order to have continuous coverage.

Password

The default password is “P@55w0rd!” which is based on most iDirect modem requirements. Password

must be entered to have modem controller communication.

Enable iDirect Broadcast

The Controller can be configured to broadcast with iDirect service by putting a checkmark in the box. This Allows iDirect users with broadcast configured modems, to lock onto a DVB carrier, and enable the transmitter in the iDirect modem automatically after peaking through the 7700 Series Controller.

This happens when reference satellite is used and system deploys to the target but no signal lock is

achieved, the controller will than use the last position and perform a blind search.

If the DVB-S type on the modem is not set to the same as the controller (default used is DVB-S1) the communication will be lost after modem goes online.

NA – NO Modem

Used for standalone systems where only DVB or Beacon is used to lock onto a satellite. Choose service sub id for multiple beacon satellite search under NA service. Set Typical for normal operation or select one of the custom Configurations that have been created.

8.2.4.4 Search Parameters

The iNetVu controller supports DVB-S and DVBS2ACM carriers. The recommended method of satellite search is DVB using DVB-S/S2, followed by DVB reference satellite search with RF search being the last option of choice. If using RF search, a valid RF frequency must be entered and is highly recommended; this can be the service frequency or any other valid RF frequency from a known carrier (preferably taken from Modem parameters). If no valid frequency is known, than 10MHZ increments may be added to the lower range value until satellite acquisition. The tuner range frequency must be in the range of 950 MHz – 2150MHz.

Search Method

DVB or RF search are selectable from the drop down window. DVB will search directly on DVBS1 or DVB-S2 carrier and lock on it. DVB is the option of choice to use when searching for satellite. RF option will allow the user to base satellite searching and peaking strictly on RF instead of DVB. This method of searching could be used when the user is having a hard time

iNetVu™ 7710 Controller User Manual

C-COM Satellite Systems Inc.

finding the transponder data for a specific satellite, or if no transponder data exists. The controller will then peak on the modem signal when the satellite is found. RF search should be used as a last resort after DVB and or DVB with reference satellite.

AZ Window Size

The Search Window is the area of the sky which the iNetVu® Mobile System will search for the desired Satellite. It uses a rectangular window and searches for the Satellite using smaller concentric windows until the desired Satellite is found. The default Azimuth (Horizontal) range is 60 on each side of the Target Point. Increasing the size of the Search Window will increase the ability to find the desired Satellite, although increasing the Search Window will also increase the search time.

RF Override/Threshold

Used by the iNetVu® Mobile Software to begin a signal optimization process for peaking on a Satellite signal after initially locating it. This field should only be used if the RF threshold is to be overridden. Ka Band systems with single TRIA cable will have the RF threshold set to 75 by default (service dependent), this allows the RF Signal to be in operation range (RF Signal==70 on iNetVu Controls window) thus allowing the search process to begin. The RF Threshold can also be manually set to any value ranging from 40 to 60 which will display the true value of RF Signal on the iNetVu Controls window. Setting the RF Threshold to 30 will put the search into a step-through-search moving the AZ axis in small incremental steps, this method increases the search time.

Enable Reference Satellite

If this checkbox is selected, the Reference Satellite Option becomes active. The reference satellite option is useful when the user cannot find a DVB transponder on the desired target satellite. The user may select a reference satellite with a known DVB Transponder from the configured list of Beams that are already saved or a new Beam can be configured. The iNetVu® System will search and lock onto the reference satellite, then pivot from that point to the desired target satellite, and peak on the modem signal. Does not work if search method selected is RF Search.

Inclined Orbit (Re-peak Time)

Enabling this option will allow the system to maintain signal with an inclined orbital

satellite. The user may select the time difference between each re-peak on the inclined orbital satellite without disabling the transmitter and maximizing on the signal strength.

This feature has been modified to support Ka platforms’ that shift off signal due to

shifting ground and or environment conditions. The inclined mode routine will exit its operation once the Stop button is depressed leaving the configuration selection enabled. This option will not work properly if Motion Protection is enabled at the same time, disable Motion Protection when inclined option is enabled.

8.2.4.5 Compass (Search)

Full Search

Performs a full 360º Azimuth search for the desired Satellite. This process may take up to 30 minutes to find and lock onto Satellite. Selecting Full Search will auto select Override Compass and set the AZ Window to 180 or any other value (60 and above) depending on the selected Platform type. This value can be overridden to a more desirable range. Override Compass can be selected without selecting Full Search but this does not hold true for the vice- versa.

Override Compass Checkbox

The Compass is pre-calibrated by a professional installer at the time of system installation and or come pre-calibrated from the compass manufacturer. A number of factors can contribute to the iNetVu® compass to produce an incorrect reading such as being parked in close proximity to a large metallic object. Should the compass heading be inaccurate by more than 20 degrees, you may need to re-calibrate or Restore it (Mount Dependent), or select “Override Compass” option. Ensure that you are using a reliable alternate source to acquire the correct direction, otherwise overriding compass will suffice for incorrect compass reading.

Direction

The direction the front of the Mobile Platform is rotated in reference to True North. In order to override the compass, the user must know where true north is located to enter the direction. After enabling Override Compass, you may enter the vehicle’s direction as indicated on your alternate compass. Keep in mind that the base of the iNetVu® Mobile Platform is oriented to the front of your vehicle (back of reflector and front of vehicle face the same direction) refer to orientation figures in this document. When taking the direction using the alternate compass, take the direction of your reading while facing the front of the vehicle, and use this orientation for the Vehicle Direction field.
