Protractor: An instrument that measures angles, Thuraya IP+
protractor provides the
current angle of the antenna so that you can adjust it to the antenna angle
specified on the Pointing Screen.
QoS: Quality of Service.
SIM: Subscriber Identification Module. Your Service Provider issues you a SIM,
containing your SIM Personal Identification Number (PIN) and other security-
related information. You insert the SIM into Thuraya IP+
SIM holder as part of
Modem hardware setup. If you configure the Modem to enable SIM PIN security,
each time you invoke the Modem wMMI after turning on the Modem, PIN
authorisation is required in order to use the system.
SIM PIN: A Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) Personal Identification Number
(PIN) may be supplied by your Service Provider. If SIM PIN entry is enabled on
Thuraya IP+
wMMI Security Management screen, a prompt requests you to enter
the SIM PIN each time you run the wMMI. This helps prevent unauthorised use of
your SIM.
Static IP Address: A static Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is assigned
to a computer by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to be its permanent address
on the Internet. Computers use IP addresses to locate and talk to each other on
the Internet. If Static IP addressing is enabled on Thuraya IP+
wMMI Network
Settings screen, you must enter an IP address supplied by your Service Provider in
the Static Public Network IP Address field that follows.
Status Code: A number which uniquely references an event or condition in a
hardware or software system. In Thuraya IP+, if there is a fault detected, the
status code and a description are displayed at the bottom of the Modem wMMI
Home and Status screens.
