Satcube Ku User Manual v2.3-2020
SATCUBE PROPRIETARY
Terminal settings and configuration
To function properly, the Satcube Ku terminal needs to know its own position and information about
the satellite to which it will connect. All satellite details are stored in profiles which the user can
switch between using the GUI or terminal display.
a) Profile selection
This can be done in one of two ways:
i. Terminal display
• Use the left/right buttons to navigate to the
PROFILE selection screen seen in Figure 19.
• Use the up/down buttons to select desired
profile.
ii. Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Go to SETTINGS. Under SATELLITE, choose the
desired profile from the dropdown PRESET menu.
A new profile can be created if required shown in
Figure 33.
b) Terminal geolocation
• The terminal will use its built-in GPS to automatically acquire its coordinates.
• If the coordinates are not updated automatically, open the GUI, go to SETTINGS, then scroll
down to POSITION. Tick the MANUAL SETTING checkbox and enter the terminal’s latitude and
longitude in the selected format (decimal or deg/min/sec) as seen in Figure 34.
• Press SAVE to apply the settings.
c) Accessing the modem’s GUI to configure downlink frequencies
• Connect your computer to either of the two Ethernet ports described in Figure 7.
• Set the IP of the connected computer to 192.168.222.217 with a netmask of 255.255.255.248.
• Open a browser and navigate to the modem’s GUI homepage by entering its IP address as the
URL.
• The modem by default has IP address 192.168.222.222. It should always have this IP to be
able to communicate with the terminal embedded system.
