2 Thuraya Orion IP User Guide
Quick Reference
This section serves as a reference guide, identifying the key operational
aspects of using the Thuraya Orion IP system and the Controls and
Indicators on the Thuraya Orion IP and their functions.
Global Positioning System Operation
The Thuraya Orion IP contains an integrated Global Positioning System
(GPS) receiver that is used to provide location information. GPS location
information is required for system access, and the reception of a new
GPS location is attempted automatically every time Thuraya Orion IP is
powered on. The GPS receiver is located in the antenna, otherwise
known as the Above Deck Unit (ADU). It is updated automatically during
operation provided the ADU is able to receive the GPS signal.
Integrated Status Display
The terminal BDU has an Integrated Status Display
which allows you to view the operational status of
the terminal. The display includes four lights for this
purpose as explained in the following table
