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 the terminal
BDU SIM holder as part of terminal hardware setup. If you configure
the terminal to enable SIM PIN security, each time you invoke the
terminal wMMI after turning on the terminal, 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 Orion 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 Orion 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 Orion IP, if there is a
fault detected, the status code and a description are displayed at
the bottom of the terminal wMMI Home and Status screens.
