1.2 System Overview

The iNetVu
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 7000 software (for the 7000 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

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

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

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

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

• Simple to install, configure and operate.

 Prior to installing IMS and configuring your system, verify that you are using the minimum

requirements listed below.

Note: Please contact C-COM if you require more information about modem compatibility as these
may change without further notice.

Note: Installed Software and Controller Firmware versions MUST be identical for normal operation

 IP Address of Satellite Modem (if using SNMP Interface)
 Satellite Name and Coordinate
 Transmit and Receive Polarization (Horizontal/Vertical)
 COM port users must use a standard male to female DB9 cable with the NULL Modem Adapter

attached to the controller end of the cable.

 It is highly beneficial to use the DVB search in the controller when auto-acquiring with the

supported tachyon modems. Any DVB-S tuner on the target satellite could be utilized. If the
tachyon modem is setup for a DVB-S frequency, the controller could be configured to auto­acquire the same frequency, along with the symbol and code rate. Searching using the RF
search mechanism may take more then five (5) minutes due to the extended response time from
the modem.

 It is beneficial to have the service provider disable the 1 hour reboot timer in the Tachyon modem

to decrease the chance of having the modem reboot while the system is searching for satellite.
