This situation or practice might result in property or
equipment damage. Ensure Sensor and Motor cables are
connected prior to powering on 7700 Series Controller. Do not
connect or disconnect cables once controller has been
powered on. It is recommended that controller is properly
grounded at all times.

1.2 System Overview

The iNetVu™ Mobile Satellite Internet system is an automatic scanner, polarizer and beam positioning
system for a foldable two-way satellite antenna. It has been designed to automatically find and acquire
the satellite beam and the position based on both a GPS position reading as well as other positioning
parameters. It is targeted for mobile users that require high speed Internet access in remote locations
where cable and DSL do not exist. It provides two-way, high-speed data communications over satellite.
iNetVu™ empowers mobile users with the ability to stop anywhere there is Satellite coverage and
access Internet at broadband speeds. The iNetVu™ Mobile application consists of the iNetVu™ Mobile
software 7710 software (for the 7700 Series Controller)

iNetVu™ Mobile Application

Key Features:

 Automatic re-peak on satellite upon signal loss.
 Automatic dish stow if Mobile Platform moves
 If the vehicle is moved before the dish is stowed, the dish will sense movement and will

automatically begin stowing itself.

 The dish will not transmit unless it is pointed adequately to meet cross-polarization

specifications.

 The system will automatically find any satellite from any point on the Earth within its coverage

area.

 Displays comprehensive information about the satellite, dish, motors, GPS, compass, control

box, and modem.

 Finds the satellite, peaks the signal strength and selects the optimal path to perform the selected

satellite, allowing the customer’s computer to be online as soon as possible

 Simple to install, configure and operate.

1.4 Installation Overview

CDM-600L:

1. If you are using an Ethernet connection between the 7710 Controller, PC and CDM-600L Satellite

Modem:

a. Power on the CiM-25 Adapter

b. Ensure you are using a crossover network cable to connect using the ‘REMOTE’ Port.

c. Set 7710 to the same network as the CDM-600L.

2. If you are using a Serial connection between the 7710 Controller, PC and CDM-600L Satellite

Modem:

a. Connect to the ‘REMOTE’ Port using a NULL Modem Male to Female Serial Cable

3. Using the front panel interface on the CDM-600L Satellite Modem, press ENT to enter the Main

Menu. Select CONFIGURATION, then REMOTE, then REMOTE again.

4. Verify that the BAUD RATE is 4800 or 9600 and that PARITY is N-8-1.

5. Press CLR until you are back to the Main Menu.

CDM-570L:

1. If you are using an Ethernet connection between the PC and CDM-570L Satellite Modem:

1. Connect a cross-over network cable to the ‘10/100 ETHERNET’ Port

2. Ensure you have set the CDM-570L Remote to ‘ETHERNET’.

3. Set PC to the same network as the CDM-570L.

2. If you are using a Serial connection between the PC and CDM-570L Satellite Modem:

1. Connect to the ‘REMOTE’ Port using a Male to Female Null Modem Serial Cable

2. Ensure you have set the CDM-570L Remote to ‘SERIAL’ and 9600 bps.

3. Start and configure iNetVu® Mobile Software.

4. Verify software, iNetVu® Controller firmware and Modem firmware versions.

5. Determine from NOC the Transmit and Receive Polarization and adjust hardware/software (if

required)

6. Conduct iNetVu® System configuration verification test.
