Switching on the terminal
Using the Power switch
To switch on the terminal, use the Power switch in the connector panel. It
normally takes one or two seconds for the terminal to switch on.
Using the ignition system
Normally the ignition function is not used in maritime installations. Instead
you may want to use the remote on/off function described in the next section.
If you have connected the ignition system of your vessel to the I/O connector,
you may leave the power switch in the “on” position and the terminal will
switch on/off when you start/stop the engine of your vessel. When the engine
is stopped the terminal is in standby mode, meaning that only the primary
parts of the system are kept alive. The standby current is max. 15 mA when the
ignition is off. For information on how to connect to the I/O connector, refer to
the installation manual for the TracPhone FB500 system.
You must set up the ignition function in the web interface. For further
information, see Configuring the I/O interface on page 110.
Using a remote on/off switch
If a switch is connected to the remote on/off pins in the DC connector, you may
leave the power switch in the “on” position and use the remote switch to turn
the terminal on and off. When the remote switch is off, the terminal is off.
However, if you leave the power switch on the terminal in the “on” position,
22
Starting up the terminal
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Chapter 2: Getting started
you can always switch the terminal back on with the remote switch. The
standby current when the remote switch is off is max. 2 mA. For further
information on the remote on/off function, refer to the installation manual for
the TracPhone systems.
Power up completed
When the terminal is switched on, the Power indicator in the LED panel of the
terminal lights green.
You can now access the terminal settings, but the terminal is not ready for
making calls or running data sessions until the system is registered on the
BGAN network. This normally requires that you enter a SIM PIN. For further
information, see Entering the SIM PIN for the terminal on page 26 and
Registering on the BGAN network on page 30.
To switch off the terminal tip the Power switch back. It takes 5 to 10 seconds to
power down the terminal. Alternatively use the ignition or remote on/off
function described above.

Before connecting to the LAN interface
For the LAN interface to work without any further setup, the connected
computer must be set up to obtain an IP address and a DNS server address
automatically.
Important Notice About Your Data Connection
To prevent inadvertent airtime usage, the user must disconnect the data
connection when not in use. If the data connection is not properly
disconnected, the computer may dial out on its own, which could result in an
unintended airtime charge. KVH accepts no responsibility if this occurs. It is
the vessel owner's responsibility to ensure that the TracPhone system is
correctly interfaced with the vessel's computer(s).
Connecting a computer to the LAN interface
Do as follows:
1. Power up your computer.
2. Connect your LAN cable between the network connector on your computer
and one of the LAN connectors on the terminal.
3. When the computer and the terminal are ready, check the connection e.g.
by accessing the built-in web interface of the terminal with your browser.
For further information, see Accessing the web interface on page 60.
You may have to disable the Proxy server settings in your browser. For
further information, see Browser settings on page 58.
For information on how to configure the LAN interface on the terminal, see
Configuring the LAN interface on page 87.

Wrong PIN
Analog phone or ISDN phone: If, instead of the busy tone or dialing tone, you
continue to hear 2 beeps - pause - 2 beeps - etc., it means the PIN was not
accepted. Check that you have the correct PIN and try again.
If a wrong PIN has been entered three times, you will hear 3 beeps - pause - 3
beeps - etc. This means you have to enter the PUK (PIN Unblocking Key)
provided with your SIM card.
After entering the PUK, you must enter a new PIN of your own choice (4 to 8
digits long).
Dial the following:
<PUK> * <New PIN> * <New PIN> followed by # or off-hook key.
Example: If the PUK is 87654321 and the new PIN is 1234, dial
87654321 * 1234 * 1234 followed by # or off-hook key.
If you enter 10 wrong PUKs, the SIM card will no longer be functional. Contact
your Airtime Provider for a new SIM card.
IP handset: After having entered the user name and password for the terminal
you have 3 attempts to enter the SIM PIN, before you are asked to enter the
PUK (Pin Unblocking Key). The PUK is supplied with the SIM card for your
terminal.
Enter the PUK followed by a new PIN of your own choice. The PIN must be
from 4 to 8 digits long.
If you enter a wrong PUK 10 times, the SIM card will no longer be functional,
and you have to contact your Airtime Provider for a new SIM card.

Chapter 3: Operating the system
Selecting the call type
Definition
The phone connection can use one of the following call types:
•
•
•
Standard Voice, which is a low-tariff voice connection compressed to
4.0 kbps,
3.1 kHz Audio, which is a high quality connection used for Premium Voice,
G.3 fax or analog modem,
UDI or RDI (only on ISDN interface), which is used for G4 fax or data.
In the web interface you can set up which type of connection to use by default
when you make or receive a call from the Phone/Fax or ISDN interface or from
an IP handset connected to the LAN interface.
When connecting a fax or a modem to the Phone/Fax interface you must use
3.1 kHz Audio.
Example: If you always have a fax connected to the same Phone/Fax
interface you can set this interface to 3.1 kHz Audio only. This will
mean that if an incoming Standard Voice call is received, this
Phone/Fax interface will not ring.
When connecting a G4 fax or a modem to the ISDN interface in the
TracPhone FB500 system you must use UDI.
Note
UDI and RDI are not available with the TracPhone FB250 system, so
you cannot connect a G4 fax machine nor a modem to the ISDN
interface on the TracPhone FB250 system.
Selecting the default outgoing call type
To select the default call type for outgoing calls, do as follows:
•
ISDN. Select the call type in the web interface under SETTINGS > ISDN.
For further information, see Configuring the ISDN interface on page 92.
•
Phone/Fax. Select the call type for each port in the web interface under
SETTINGS > Phone/Fax.

Configuring the discrete I/O interface
Overview
The I/O interface on the terminal has 5 configurable I/O pins. You can set up
the function of each pin in the web interface. The default functions of the I/O
pins are as follows:
•
Pin 1: Ringer output.
This pin changes state from low to high when the terminal is notified of an
incoming call from the satellite interface. When the call is answered, or
the caller gives up and releases the call, the pin changes back to low.
•
•
Pin 2: Warning/Error output.
This pin provides an external signal that indicates active warning/error
condition(s). The signal stays active until all warnings/errors are cleared.
Pin 3: Mute output.
The mute output pin provides an external signal that is active during a
phone call. The signal can be used to mute external equipment, such as a
car-radio.
•
•
Pin 4: Radio silence input.
When active the terminal observes Radio Silence. The terminal gracefully
closes all open connections, and deregisters from the BGAN network. No
transmission is allowed until the pin is deactivated.
Pin 5/8: Ignition input.
The ignition function uses pin 5 together with pin 8 (DC in). Connect the
appropriate pin to the ignition key switch as follows:
If the input should be active high, connect pin 5 to Ground, and use pin 8
to switch on the terminal by pulling it high (10-32 V DC).
If the input should be active low, connect pin 8 to positive DC voltage, and
use pin 5 to switch on the terminal by pulling it low (< 1.2 V DC).
Note
The Ignition function is normally not used in maritime
installations. You may use the Remote on/off function in the
power connector instead.

Managing LAN network users
Introduction
The network management system
The network management system divides the users of the TracPhone terminal
into network user groups. Each network user group has a profile which
determines how the users connect to the Inmarsat BGAN network. The
network user groups can allow or restrict certain services for different users.
For example, you may want to define:
•
one network user group for Bridge communication, allowing both
Standard and Streaming connections,
•
•
•
one network user group for Crew welfare, allowing Standard connections,
one network user group for IP handsets, allowing no Internet access.
one network user group for Remote management of systems at the bridge
or in the engine room. This would be a direct Standard connection (Bridge
mode).
The TracPhone terminal supports up to 11 different network user groups and
global IP addresses.
Managing LAN network users

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Necessary steps when managing network users
The steps necessary for managing network users include:
1. Defining a network user group. See Setting up the network user groups on
page 113.
The network user groups determine settings such as:
•
•
•
QoS (Standard/Streaming),
IP addressing (Static/Dynamic)
Internet access mode (Router Mode/Bridge Mode/No Internet Access)
2. Identifying a network device. See Managing network devices on page 119.
The network devices are identified by their IP address, MAC address and
(optionally) device name.
3. Associating the network user group and the network device. See Using the
network classification table on page 121.
The network classification table determines which devices should belong
to which network user group. When a network device is connected, the
terminal runs through the network classification table to check if the new
connection matches any of the entries in the table. When a match is found,
the terminal establishes a PDP context and the device is ready for use with
the terminal.
Access to the network management settings
Access to the network management settings requires an Administrator
password.
The Administrator can create and manage network user groups and set up a
network classification table defining priorities for devices, network groups and
LAN ports.
Caution! All user connections to the LAN interface may be affected
when you change the settings below, including your own
current connection.

Using the network classification table
Overview
The network classification table is used for making an association between
network devices and network user groups.
Each entry in the table shows MAC address, IP address, LAN port and network
user group.
When a network device is connected, the terminal runs through the network
classification table to check if the new connection matches any of the entries
in the table. When a match is found, the terminal establishes a PDP context
and the device is ready for use with the terminal.
Adding or editing an entry in the network classification table
To add a new entry to the table or to edit an existing entry, do as follows:
1. Select SETTINGS > Network classification table.

Chapter 4: Using the web interface
The network classification table shows which devices are associated with
which LAN ports and network user groups. An Asterisk (*) is a “wild card”,
meaning that any value is accepted.
2. Click Edit next to the entry you want to edit, or click Add at the bottom of
the list.
3. Click Add next to a network device you want to use, or type in the MAC
address manually at the top of the page.
Note
If you leave a field empty, it is the same as a “wild card” and it
will be shown as an Asterisk in the Network classification table.
Unless you are using a Static IP address, the IP address field
should always be left empty.
4. Select the LAN port and Network user group you want to associate with
the device.
Network user groups are created and defined in the Network user group
page. See Setting up the network user groups on page 113.
5. Click Apply.

Changing the priority in the network classification table
To change the priority of an entry, click the up or down arrow next to the entry.
Connections are evaluated in the order they are listed. The first entry (and only
the first entry) that matches the properties of the connected device is applied,
meaning that the connection will be using the settings of the user group
assigned to that entry.
The Default user group is always last, so it is only used if none of the other
entries match the properties of the connected device.

Definitions for network terms
APN (Access Point Name)
The APN is used by the network user to establish the connection to the
required destination network. This means that the terminal must know the
APN in order to be able to connect to the destination network.
APNs are provided from the Airtime Provider. They may also be defined on the
SIM card.
Header compression
The Header of a data packet contains control information belonging to that
packet. The information in the Header can take up a considerable amount of
bandwidth. In order to save bandwidth, you can use Header Compression,
meaning you compress the header information, leaving some of the
information out.
You can select whether or not to use Header Compression for your data
transmission.
•
Header Compression enabled: Recommended for low-noise applications.
If you select Header Compression enabled, you will be using less
bandwidth on header information, leaving more bandwidth for the actual
payload.
However, if the environment is noisy, the system will have to retransmit
information, and you may end up using more bandwidth than without
Header Compression.
•
Header Compression disabled: Recommended in noisy environments.
If Header Compression is disabled, the system will be less sensitive to
noise.

Chapter 4: Using the web interface
Profiles
A profile is a collection of Quality of Service (QoS) settings and other settings
defining the mode in which data is transmitted on an interface. For example, a
profile is used to define whether a connection should be a Standard or
Streaming connection.
You can select between a number of predefined profiles or define your own
profiles for your data transmission.
Note
If you have selected more than one profile (one primary and one or
more secondary profiles) for an interface, you must define a traffic
flow filter before you can establish a valid connection.
You need an Administrator password to define profiles and traffic flow filters.
NAT (Network Address Translation)
NAT enables a local-area network to use one set of private IP addresses for
internal traffic and an assigned or static IP address for external traffic. The
built-in NAT module in the terminal makes all necessary address translations
between the local-area traffic and the external traffic.
If more than one user is connected, you must select a network user group with
Router mode to use the NAT of the terminal.

suited for TCP/IP applications, and Streaming data is best
suited for UDP traffic, e.g. live video or audio.
You may select one of the following:
•
•
•
Conversational is real-time two-way conversation. It is primarily used
for voice over IP and video conferencing.
Streaming is real-time one-way communication. It is primarily used for
video and audio.
Interactive is two-way communication (not real-time). It is used for
communication that is not very delay-sensitive, such as web browsing,
data base retrieval and server access. Examples of machines

Chapter 4: Using the web interface
Using traffic flow filters
What are traffic flow filters?
When more than one type of traffic is needed, you must use both a primary
and one or more secondary profiles. For the Core network and the terminal to
classify packets received from the external network into the proper profile, you
need a traffic flow filter.
A list of traffic flow filters consists of one to eight packet filters, each identified
by a unique packet filter identifier. A packet filter also has an evaluation
precedence index that is unique within all traffic flow filters associated with
the profiles that share the same PDP (Packet Data Protocol) address.
Information of source, destination, type of service etc. is combined in each
packet filter in the list.
Purpose of the traffic flow filters
The purpose of the traffic flow filters is to assign different priorities to different
types of traffic, in order to optimize performance.
Example: When you are browsing the Internet, a Standard data connection is
normally sufficient. However, to have a video conference you may
need a Streaming connection in order to obtain a direct connection
without interruptions. Your traffic flow filters can define these
priorities, so that your connection automatically switches to
Streaming e.g. when you have a video conference.
