Introduction to Intellian v240C


The Intellian v240C is a 2.4 meter C-band marine VSAT communication antenna
system. With its 3-axis stabilized platform and enhanced vibration and shock
damping design, the v240C can perform extremely well on all types of ships that
require always on and high speed broadband communications no matter how
rough the weather and sea conditions are.
The v240C requires minimal involvement to commission . It is easy to operate and
also simple to upgrade and manage. Each unit comes preloaded with a readyto-use, client-customized library that can be conveniently tailored further via PC
software (also included with the unit), and firmware updates can be done entirely
through the Wi-Fi ACU. Wi-Fi router enables easy connection and control of ACU,
allowing operators to check the status of the VSAT.
The all new Antenna Control Unit (ACU) supports Wi-Fi connectivity for a simple
remote PC connection. If the ACU is installed at a great distance from the antenna,
then the built-in Bluetooth connection module can enable a PC connection right
alongside the dome.
Robust and versatile, the v240C marks an new era for VSAT connectivity on the
open water for deep sea vessels that require global coverage.

Features of Intellian v240C


Automatic Polarization Switching
Intellian v240C antenna automatically changes between linear and circular
polarization while it does not require manual or physical change. When a polarization
is selected from ACU or PC Control Program, the Feed Horn is automatically
adjusted accordingly, which is patented technology developed by Intellian.
DVB/DVB-S2 and NBD detection capability
Intellian v240C is capable of detecting DVB-S/DVB-S2 signal, SCPC, and NarrowBand signal. Thanks to its integrated digital tuner and the narrow band detector
(NBD).
Wireless communication with the ACU
The ACU of the Intellian v240C offers upgraded functions. The built-in Wi-Fi
wireless network card enables the ACU to be wirelessly connected, and it can be
either turned on and off by a switch. After connecting with Wi-Fi wireless network
or setting up a network with ACU, it will be easy to monitor, control, and change the
settings of Intellian antenna system wirelessly using laptops, smartphones, or any
kind of wireless devices.
Antenna log data and firmware upgrade through USB
The ACU of v240C now automatically stores all action data of Intellian antennas
onto a built-in 256MB memory. With 256MB memory, about one month of data can
be stored, and all existing logs are available to be transferred onto USB drivers. Also
just by plugging in the USB with firmware update files stored, the firmware can be
automatically updated and upgraded onto the ACU.
Bluetooth module support
When the Intellian supplied Bluetooth module is equipped on a main control unit of
Intellian antenna, users can access and control the antenna with a laptop that has
Bluetooth capability. This will lead to easier and more effective ways to setup and
maintain the system.
Maximized RF performance
The main reflector, Feed-horn and other RF parts are newly designed to maximize
the antenna performance for maritime application. Not only the gain and Maximum
Allowed EIRP Density are the highest level amongst the similar-sized VSAT antenna,
Intellian v240C conforms to various ESV (Earth-Station-on Vessels) standards and
FCC requirements.

Connecting the System without a Ships Gyrocompass


For a vessel where the ships gyrocompass is not installed or is difficult to connect,
the Intellian Gyro-Free satellite search function will be automatically
enabled to allow the antenna to lock onto the desired satellite without
requiring an external heading input.
The table below provides an example of the Gyro-Free satellite search algorithm. The
Search 1 or Search 3 satellite search pattern will be triggered according
to the existence of heading input and the setting of the heading device.
Search 1: The antenna will search for the target satellite by turning its azimuth
angle in a CCW(Counter Clockwise) direction until the antenna receives a
lock signal from the modem or until the DVB(Digital Video Broadcasting)
transponder of the target satellite is decoded by the antenna.
Search 3: The antenna will search for the target satellite by turning its azimuth angle
directly to the position calculated using the ships heading input and lock
onto the satellite.

REMARKS:

A search pattern 1 or 3 will be initiated according to which GYRO TYPE is selected


and the existence of the gyro input.
Search 1: a search pattern 1 will automatically be initiated when the ships heading
input does not exist / is failed. The antenna will go to the relative azimuth position 0
at the calculated elevation and search in the azimuth CCW direction and search up
+0.5 & down -0.5 with a total of 6(3) in elevation. The search cycle will repeat
until the antenna receives the lock signal from the modem or the DVB transponder
of the target satellite is decoded by the antenna. If the desired signal is found and
above the predefined detect level, the ACU will enter to Search 3. However, if the
desired signal is above the predefined tracking threshold level, the antenna will
not initiate a Search 3 pattern but will go into TRACKING mode immediately. If the
detected signal is below the predefined tracking threshold level, the search 1 will
repeat and start 3 away from the current position.

RATESENSOR BIAS: rate sensor bias is to calibrate DC voltage output from the three
rate sensors used to sense antenna motion in azimuth, elevation and cross-level axes.
The DC voltage output from each of the rate sensors may vary by an amount which is
directly proportional to the direction and rate of motion induced on it. The motion of the
ship must be stable when the sensor box is replaced.

TILT BIAS: TILT BIAS is to adjust the two solid-state tilt sensors used to provide absolute
cross-level tilt of the antenna and elevation feedback to eliminate long-term pointing drift
(error). The TILT BIAS is required to be set when the system is newly installed or when the
antenna control board or sensor box is replaced. Check and see if the bubble is located

Tilt Sensor Bias


- Tilt sensor bias: Adjust the two solid-state tilt sensors used to provide absolute
cross-level tilt of the antenna and elevation feedback to eliminate long-term
pointing drift (error). Tilt bias is required to be adjusted when the antenna control
board or sensor box is replaced. Check and see if the bubble is located at the
center of the level vial.
- Ready: Make elevation angle go to 0 for tilt sensor bias adjustment.
Conical Range
- Conical rage: set conical range while the antenna is on tracking mode.
EL Adjust
- EL adjust: The elevation adjustment is to offset the angle difference between the
mechanical elevation angle and actual elevation angle.

v240C Marine Satellite Communication System

Rate Sensor
- Rate sensor: Rate sensor is to calibrate DC voltage output from the three rate
sensors used to sense antenna motion in azimuth, elevation and cross-level axes.
The DC voltage output from each of the rate sensors may vary by an amount
which is directly proportional to the direction and rate of motion induced on it.
Before calibrating the rate sensors located at the Sensor box, make sure that the
antenna is placed on a rigid and flat platform. During the calibration process, the
antenna should avoid any motion as it can affect the antennas performance. After
clicking the Rate Sensor Bias Check button, the green dot will be displayed as
a ready signal to calibrate the gyro sensor. The red dot (fail) or blue dot (pass) will
be displayed once the calibration is completed.
Idle Mode
- Idle mode: Release the elevation and cross level motor brakes while the antenna is
in SETUP mode. The antenna can be moved manually during idle mode.
Diagnosis
- Diagnosis: The system can carry out the selected full diagnostic test Test All or
single diagnostic test. The software will display the diagnostic test results (Blue
dot represents normal, red represents abnormal, yellow represents skip test
and green represents the diagnostic test is under process).

v240C Marine Satellite Communication System

Introduction
With embedded remote access function, the v-Series can be monitored, controlled,
and diagnosed remotely from anywhere, anytime through the TCP/IP protocol.
This not only can save tremendous time but also save the cost generated from the
hundreds of routine maintenance activities such as operating firmware upgrades,
tracking parameters resets, and system diagnostic.

Channel

Select an appropriate channel from the list provided to


correspond with your network settings. All devices in your
wireless network must use the same channel in order to
function correctly. Try to avoid conflicts with other wireless networks by choosing a channel where the upper and
lower three channels are not in use.

Bitrate

Select an appropriate bit rate for the wireless communication. If set to Auto, speed will be determined automatically
to an optimized rate. Otherwise, selected speed will be
applied. Please note that 802.11b only mode supports 1,
2, 5.5, and 11Mbps, while 802.11g only mode supports 6,
9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54Mbps. In the mixed mode, all
otions are available.

RTS Threshold

The RTS Threshold (RT) value which determines when the


RTS/CTS handshaking mechanism should be used is an
important parameter. RTS/CTS adds a handshake before
each packet transmission to make sure that the channel is
clear. This adds overhead, but increases performance in
case of hidden nodes or a large number of active nodes.
This parameter sets the size of the smallest packet for
which the node sends RTS; a value equal to the maximum
packet size disables the mechanism. (excerpted from
iwconfig manual)

Fragment Threshold

Fragmentation allows to split an IP packet in a burst of


smaller fragments transmitted on the medium. In most
cases this adds overhead, but in a very noisy environment, this reduces the error penalty and allows packets to
get through interference bursts. This parameter sets the
maximum fragment size which is always lower than the
maximum packet size. (excerpted from iwconfig manual)

802.11h

The 802.11h is a spectrum management standard


designed to resolve wireless interference issues. It this
option is set, E2S will try to automatically switch channels
and control transmitting power in order to minimize the
risk of interferences from other systems. This field can be
enabled only in A band.
