The purpose of this document is to detail the installation and configuration of Intellian satellite Antenna Controller Units (ACU) for use with Uplogix Local Managers.

The Uplogix Local Management Software (LMS) version 4.4+ includes support for Intellian ACUs and Arbitrators including the V-Series models.

Connect the RS-232 PC port on the Intellian ACU to the Uplogix Local Manager using a DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter and a standard Cat-5 cable. The pinout for the adapter is below:

| RJ-45 Pin | Color | DB-9 Pin|-|-|| 1 | Blue | 7| 2 | Orange | 4| 3 | Black | 3| 4 | Green | 5| 5 | Red | 5| 6 | Yellow | 2| 7 | Brown | 6| 8 | White | 8

USB port 1 port for PC or Management Device Power Requirement 100 240 V AC, 5060 Hz. DUAL VSAT Mediator. Utilizes a leading-edge technology to control two Intellian VSAT antenna systems simultaneously. It ensures an uninterrupted and always-on broadband service. The secondary antenna system will immediately take.

The Intellian ACU uses the Uplogix Local Manager native driver. This driver will provide connectivity to the Intellian V-Series PC Controller application through Secure Shell (SSH) or Uplogix CLI applet to the Uplogix Local Manager.

Use a workstation to open a command line session with the Uplogix Local Manager.

  • Intellian’s high efficiency RF design delivers superior antenna gain and cross-pol isolation over all other 60cm class systems, enabling higher data rates and enhanced global services. The v65 is designed as a flexible communications platform built to meet the unique needs of any customer while maintaining commonality of spare parts.
  • Intellian is a leading global technology and solutions provider for satellite communications and satellite tv, empowering connectivity for the maritime, government, military, energy, cruise and enterprise sectors.

Intellian Antenna Pc Controller Driver

Driver

Issue the port command to navigate to the port your Intellian ACU is connected to. In the example below it is attached to port 3 of slot 1.

Use the config serial command to change the serial speed from 9,600 to 19,200 (the default for the Intellian ACU).

Controller

Issue the terminal binary command to start a terminal session with the ACU. This session takes place within your Uplogix Local Manager session.

At this point, you should see Intellian command codes in your terminal session.>

The Intellian Arbitrator is designed to switch RF communications between two Intellian ACUs. The Arbitrator is configured exactly as the ACU and uses similar cabling.

Through a feature called Terminal Mirror, Uplogix can provide ACU access to the Intellian V-Series PC Controller application using SSH or the Uplogix CLI applet.

V-Series PC Controller access

Terminal Mirror can be used with the Uplogix CLI Applet or a Secure Shell (SSH) client. The Terminal Mirror feature is designed to forward information via the Intellian ACU or Arbitrator through the Uplogix Local Manager to the technician's PC on a local TCP port. The application then connects to the user workstation 'localhost' (127.0.0.1) and port to manage the unit.

From the Uplogix Control Center, log into the Local Manager using SSH or Uplogix CLI Applet and navigate to the port where the Intellian ACU is connected. The CLI button uses secure shell. The Dial button (visible if configured) will used the Remote Application Server (RAS) to dial into the appliance.

After logging into Uplogix Local Manager, navigate to the port with the antenna to manage and enter the command terminal binary.

After connecting, click on the Terminal command from the Terminal Applet window and then select the Forward option.

Check the box for terminal mirror, and either leave the random TCP port selected or manually assign an unused local TCP port. Click Apply.

After applying changes for the local TCP port on the terminal mirror, the indicator will turn green to indicate the available port has been reserved or red to indicate the port selected is not available. You will use the TCP port within the Intellian V-Series PC Controller application.

Launch the Intellian V-Series PC Controller and use the port specified in the previous step.

Intellian v60 is a 60cm Ku-band maritime VSAT antenna system with a compact radome design allowing for smaller vessels to fit the systems with space constraints. With its 3-axis stabilization platform, the v60 has superior tracking performance that is nearly equal to the 1 meter grade VSAT antenna system. The v60 can be configured for SCPC, broadband or hybrid satellite networks. It is suitable for high-speed Internet, weather & chart updates, email, file and image transfer, video conference, VoIP, VPNs and database backup. The v60 is designed and built to meet or exceed industry and military standards for vibration, shock and EMC to ensure greatest reliability in the harshest conditions at sea.

    DescriptionSpecification

Intellian v60 is a 60cm Ku-band maritime VSAT antenna system with a compact radome design allowing for smaller vessels to fit the systems with space constraints. With its 3-axis stabilization platform, the v60 has superior tracking performance that is nearly equal to the 1 meter grade VSAT antenna system. The v60 can be configured for SCPC, broadband or hybrid satellite networks. It is suitable for high-speed Internet, weather & chart updates, email, file and image transfer, video conference, VoIP, VPNs and database backup. The v60 is designed and built to meet or exceed industry and military standards for vibration, shock and EMC to ensure greatest reliability in the harshest conditions at sea.

The v60 has an unlimited azimuth range for continuous tracking without unwrapping the cables in the antenna. The wide elevation range from -10° to 100° enables the v60 to have seamless signal reception while the vessel is traveling near the Equator or Polar Regions. With easiest installation design and most-user friendly interface you can find in the market, the v60 guarantees that you will have a whole new broadband experience at sea.

The v60 has a built-in GPS for fast satellite acquisition and auto polarization control for optimizing the signal strength of a linear polarization feed. The v60 provides always-on, uncompromised performance with the highest quality and reliability connections at sea. The v60 is the ultimate choice for mariners who are seeking a commercial grade broadband experience with a compact, robust and cost-effective solution.
