Thuraya Orion IP User Guide 1
Introduction
Your Thuraya Orion IP terminal provides mobile, high-speed data
communications via satellite. Using “Always On” technology, you can
remain connected to the Internet while only sending or receiving the
data that you need at speeds of up to 444kbits/s, just as if you were
sitting at your office desk.
The Thuraya Orion IP works with your computer using an Ethernet or Wi-Fi
connection much like commercially available wireless routers. Note that
the Wi-Fi Access Point in the Thuraya Orion IP uses a separate subnet
and DHCP server than the wired Ethernet port. An internal router allows
IP traffic to flow seamlessly between the two subnets and out over the
satellite link.
While the Thuraya Orion IP operates very similarly to other data modems
that you may be familiar with, there are a few important operating
differences to note. Please read this user guide carefully to understand
all the aspects of operating your Thuraya Orion IP.
First Time Set-Up
Please refer to the installation manual for the Thuraya Orion IP terminal
as it applies to your installation.
Do not stand in front of the Antenna (ADU)
The ADU emits radio frequency energy when in the transmit
mode. To avoid injury, do not place head or other body parts
at the side or top of the ADU when system is operational.
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

Thuraya Orion IP User Guide 3
Web Man Machine Interface (wMMI) Screens
The Thuraya Orion IP can be accessed through a standard web browser
interface. To accomplish this, the connected computer must have one
of the following supported browsers installed along with Java enabled
(Java Runtime Environment 1.3.1 or later).
Internet Explorer 6.0 or later
Firefox 2.0
AOL Explorer
Macintosh Safari
To access the Thuraya Orion IP, connect your computer via Ethernet or
WLAN, run a supported browser and enter http://192.168.128.100 into the
browser’s address field. You may wish to add this address to the
browser’s bookmark list so the address will be easier to find in the future.
When active, the browser interface will allow you to access the wMMI.
Each of the main web pages contains important status information in
the upper left hand corner. The bar graph next to the icon
represents receive signal strength. During a streaming session this area
also maintains a timer to record how long the session has lasted.

GPS: The display includes the GPS receiver state (On/Off), GPS satellites
visible, GPS validity, compass direction and ADU angle. Once a GPS
position is obtained, the Thuraya Orion IP will provide the compass
direction and degrees of elevation to the satellite. This information can
be used to ensure that the ADU has a clear view of the Thuraya satellite
at the current location.
PROPERTIES SCREEN
The Properties Screen displays a summary of current communications
parameter settings. You can also use this screen to do the following:
Restore Factory Defaults: When you click this button, the restore
message confirmation screen informs you that the terminal is about to
reset to factory defaults. Restoring the factory defaults returns the
Thuraya Orion IP settings to their original, just out-of-the-box state. This
does not change the security code or SIM parameters. Please exercise
caution when proceeding. If you invoke Restore Factory Defaults, you
will need to re-enter any configuration information supplied by your
Service Provider.

estimates only. This feature is not tied into the actual billing
system. Hughes assumes no liability if differences are found
between data usage figures and your actual bill.
Thuraya Orion IP User Guide 7
CONNECTION MANAGEMENT SCREEN
Accessible from the Main Menu, the Connection Management Screen
allows you to select from nine Quality of Service (QoS) quick connect
buttons. Each button can be customized using the Details link on the
Connection Management Screen. The customization parameters for
each button are as follows:
Transmit Rate and Receive Connection Rate: Allows you to select the
transmit and receive rates from the list of bandwidth values.
Multimedia Control: Allows you to enable or disable Automatic Repeat-
reQuest (ARQ) over the satellite. Typically, ARQ--an error control protocol
for data transmission–-is best disabled for voice or video traffic.
Fixed Rate Control: Allows you to enable or disable fixed rate service
over the satellite. You can force the connection to match the requested
QoS. If disabled, the best streaming rate possible -- up to and including
the selected rate -- will be allowed. If enabled, the terminal will not set

Thuraya Orion IP User Guide 9
SETTINGS SCREENS
From the Main menu you can select Settings to navigate among all the
various Settings functions from the menu on the left side of the screen:
Network Settings
Security Management Settings
Login Settings
WLAN Settings
Remote Access
Advanced Settings
NETWORK SETTINGS SCREEN
After executing the necessary First Time Set-up steps to configure the
Thuraya Orion IP, you may want to select the Network Settings Screen to
check your network configuration. This screen provides you with control
over key network access parameters. Here you find the appropriate
Domain Name Service (DNS) and the Access Point Name (APN)
information configured by your Service Provider. You are also given the
ability to make changes.
Note: Generally your Service Provider has already performed
this configuration step for you. Whenever you modify the
addresses on the Network Settings screen, you must press
SAVE and exit the wMMI, reboot your computer, and power
the Thuraya Orion IP off and then back on so that the new
settings can take effect.
10 Thuraya Orion IP User Guide
Private Local IP Address: This setting allows you to change the all four
octets of the terminal’s (BDU) local gateway address. Changing this
address will change the address of the wMMI and the base address for
the Ethernet DHCP server. This subnet must remain unique from the WLAN
subnet address being used.
Local IP Address Mask: This setting allows you to set the local Ethernet
subnet mask. The setting for this mask should match the LAN that the
terminal is connected to.
DHCP Server: The DHCP server for Ethernet can be enabled or disabled
as needed. If disabled, a local static IP addressing scheme must be used
by connected Ethernet devices. This setting has no impact on the WLAN
operation which uses a dedicated DHCP server.
Netmode: This command allows for NAT or Relay Mode to be selected.
The NAT (Network Address Translation) mode allows multiple devices to
be connected via the Ethernet and WLAN ports. This is the default
operating mode. Relay Mode is used for special situations where a single
local device needs to be assigned the same address as the Global IP
Address assigned to the terminal BDU. The connected device is assigned
a LAN address initially, but with a very short DHCP lease time. When the
Global IP Address is assigned to the terminal BDU it is flowed through to
the connected device via a DHCP address reassignment. All WAN traffic
flows through to the single connected device with no port or address
translation. Relay Mode is only available on the Ethernet port and DHCP
must be enabled at the same time on the connected device.
Global IP Address:
Obtain Address Automatically: If this button is selected, the Thuraya
Orion IP uses an IP address automatically assigned by the
network during the period when the terminal connects to the
network.
Static IP Address: If this button is selected, the Thuraya Orion IP uses
the IP address you enter in the associated IP Address field. You
should check this box and enter an IP address only if directed to
do so by your Service Provider.
DNS:
Obtain DNS Address Automatically: If this button is selected, the
Thuraya Orion IP uses a Primary Host Domain Name Service (DNS)
automatically assigned by the network during the period when
the terminal connects to the network.
Static DNS Host: If this button is selected, the Thuraya Orion IP uses
the DNS address you enter in the DNS Address field. You should
Thuraya Orion IP User Guide 11
check this box and enter an IP address only if directed to do so
by your Service Provider.
DMZ Host: If you wish to route incoming network originated IP traffic to a
specific connected device, enter that device’s IP address in this
parameter. Be careful to establish a suitable firewall on this device to
protect against malicious attacks from the Internet.
Port Forwarding: Port forwarding is a feature that allows user-specified
global ports to be connected to user-specified TE devices. This mode
allows incoming IP traffic to be reliably delivered to the specified TE IP
address based upon the global port number the traffic was received on.
To enable/disable and to set up rules for port forwarding, click on the
Configure Port Forwarding link to go to the Port Forwarding
Configuration screen.
PORT FORWARDING CONFIGURATION SCREEN
Note that a new PDP context is required for Port Forwarding changes to
take effect. Port Forwarding is not compatible with relay mode and is
disabled automatically when relay mode is enabled.
APN Selection: If use of multiple Internet Service Providers is required, you
can modify the current Access Point Name (APN) value. You should
modify these fields only if directed to do so by your Service Provider. The
12 Thuraya Orion IP User Guide
choices are the following: Streaming-CBR, Refill, <BLANK> (enter the
desired name) and Disabled.
SAVE/ CANCEL: If you want the values you have entered to be
processed, click the SAVE button, exit the wMMI, and reboot your
computer. You will also need to turn the terminal BDU off and then on
again so that the new settings can take effect. If you want the values
you have entered to be ignored, click the CANCEL button and the
Network Settings remain as they were with no reboot required.
SECURITY MANAGEMENT SCREEN
The Security Management Screen allows you to impose a tighter level of
security on your Thuraya Orion IP.
SIM PIN Disable/Enable: If Enabled, a prompt requests you to enter the
SIM PIN each time you power up the modem. This helps prevent
unauthorised use of your SIM. Disable this feature to skip the PIN entry
process. To change the setting, click the desired one, enter the current
SIM PIN (required), and click the Save button.
Note: If the SIM PIN code is incorrectly entered three times,
the SIM will be locked until the PUK (Pin Unlock Key) number is
entered. Consult your Service Provider for the PUK number.
Change SIM PIN: If the SIM PIN is enabled, and you would like to change
the existing PIN, click this link. You will be required to enter the Old PIN,
the New PIN, and the New PIN again for confirmation.
Thuraya Orion IP User Guide 13
Lock Upon SIM Change: When this setting is enabled, you must enter a
security code when the terminal powers up with a new SIM.
Restricted Administrative Access: When Restricted Administrative Access
is enabled, protected web pages can only be accessed after you enter
a username and password. The username is the fixed string “admin” and
the password is the security code.
Change Security Code: The security code is 12345 when shipped from
the factory. To change an existing Security Code, click this link. You will
be required to enter the Old Code, the New Code, and the New Code
again for confirmation.
Note: If you forget the security code you will need to consult
with your service provider.
Ethernet MAC Filtering: Ethernet MAC filtering provides a means to
restrict Ethernet access to the UT to devices that have their MAC
addresses specified in the white list. To enable Ethernet MAC filtering,
click on the Ethernet MAC Filtering Configuration link on the Security
Management Screen. This will take you to the Ethernet MAC Filtering
Configuration Screen.
ETHERNET MAC FILTERING CONFIGURATION SCREEN:
From this screen you can enable and disable Ethernet MAC filtering and
you can specify up to eight MAC addresses in the white list. Any
14 Thuraya Orion IP User Guide
changes to this configuration screen will be effective upon a restart of
the UT.
Note: Enabling MAC filtering without specifying any entries in
the list will disable the Ethernet ports in favour of WiFi access
only. Be sure to enable WiFi on the UT before disabling the
Ethernet ports so that you do not lose access to the wMMI.
LOGIN SETTINGS SCREEN
Utilize the Login Screen only if you have been given the necessary
information from your Service Provider.
Service Provider Security: If this is enabled, you can enter a User Name
and Password for authentication between the Thuraya Orion IP and your
Service Provider. Your Service Provider will let you know if this step is
required and give you the necessary information.
User Name, Password, Confirm Password: You must enter the password
twice to ensure accuracy.
Thuraya Orion IP User Guide 15
WLAN CONFIGURATION SCREEN
The WLAN Configuration Screen allows you to configure the integrated
WLAN Access Point (AP) which can support up to eight simultaneous
clients using 802.11b/g/n. The WLAN AP operates on its own subnet and
utilizes its own DHCP server. The wMMI remains at 192.168.128.100
(default) whether accessed via WLAN or Ethernet.
WLAN Power: Select ON or OFF to turn the feature on or off.
WLAN Power Off timeout: If disabled, there is no timeout. If this
parameter is enabled, the WLAN will remain powered up for the
selected timeout value after the terminal powers on. If no WLAN activity
is detected during the timeout, the WLAN card will power down.
WLAN SSID: The WLAN network ID (SSID) can be entered as desired.
WLAN Region: Select the WLAN region from a drop down list (X10, X20,
X30, X31, X32, X40 and X41). If you try to activate a channel not

The Remote Access Screen enables wMMI access from the satellite side
of the terminal. To use the feature, select the Enabled option, type in a
password and select Save. Obtain the Network IP Address from the
Properties Screen and use that in the browser on the remote PC as
follows: http://85.115.79.53:45380 (85.115.79.53 is an example; your
terminal address will be different and can change with each PDP
session, depending on whether the network is issuing a dynamic IP
address or static IP address). In general the IP address to use is
http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:45380, where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is your
terminal’s public IP address and the access port is 45380. You will need
the remote access password to log into the terminal prior to gaining
access to the wMMI. For security reasons you should use the Logout
button on the wMMI once you have finished the session.
Only one Remote Access session is supported at any one time
The Thuraya Orion IP must have an active PDP context in place
The remote access password can be changed by entering a
new string using the Remote Access Screen password entry
The Remote Access feature is disabled by default
18 Thuraya Orion IP User Guide
If you forget the Remote Access password simply enter a new
one to overwrite the old one.
Note that remote access does use satellite data that will be billed to the
account on the user terminal. The remote access data also shares the
channel with any other traffic being sent and received by the Thuraya
Orion IP.
Thuraya Orion IP User Guide 19
ADVANCED SETTINGS SCREEN
The Advanced Settings Screen allows you to modify several key
operating parameters in the unit.
Satellite Search Method: Normal is the default method to use unless your
Service Provider specifies the Full Method. The Full method takes longer
and utilizes more resources since it will search all possible frequencies for
the Thuraya IP service. This full search can take up to 20 minutes.
Buffering: When buffering is enabled the Thuraya Orion IP can store more
data to handle bursts of IP traffic from connected devices. When
buffering is disabled, only the minimum of traffic is stored to reduce
latency. Disable buffering for low latency traffic such as voice or video.
Streaming Alert: There is also a streaming timer
embedded within the Modem Status box that
appears on the upper left hand corner of the
web page. This provides an indication of how
long the streaming session has been active.
M2M Configuration: When enabled, the
Thuraya Orion IP will monitor the transmit and
receive traffic. If traffic is not seen on either direction for the timeout
duration then the terminal will automatically reboot to ensure it stays
online. The feature will also try to re-establish a PDP context if it is
disconnected for any reason. This mechanism is useful to ensure
continuous operation from unattended installations.
20 Thuraya Orion IP User Guide
M2M Monitor: This is the timeout setting for the M2M feature.
Power Up Profile: You can select the power up profile from a drop down
list, including Standard and three customizable streaming profiles. Each
streaming profile can be customized by name, multimedia mode, fixed
rate mode, transmit rate, and receive rate.

Should a Thuraya Orion IP software upgrade become available, you can
complete the upgrade process yourself. The software can be
downloaded directly from the Internet using any available access
method, including the Thuraya Orion IP itself.
UPGRADING SOFTWARE
In order to upgrade software you must first connect to the Internet and
follow the steps listed below:
1. Connect your PC/Notebook to the Internet using the Thuraya
Orion IP (satellite service), wired LAN, or dial up connection.
2. Go to www.thuraya.com or use the Upgrade link on the
Properties Page if connected to the Thuraya Orion IP.
3. Go to the web site area for Thuraya Orion IP updates.
4. To download, select the latest upgrade package. The
browser proceeds to retrieve the package.
5. Once the package is downloaded, you are prompted to
execute the package. Select Yes and the upgrader
application will self-extract onto the PC’s hard drive.
6. Once the package is installed, it puts a shortcut on the
desktop and prompts you to upgrade now. Make sure the
Thuraya Orion IP is now connected to the PC via Ethernet
and is powered up. Select the upgrade option on the PC,
and the program will allow you to upgrade the terminal BDU.
7. The upgrader will query the current software version of the
terminal BDU. You should choose whether you want to
upgrade to the newer version of software.
8. If you choose to upgrade the terminal BDU, the process
automatically downloads the new release of software and
forces a terminal reboot.
9. When the terminal BDU returns from reboot, you can verify
that the download was successful via the Properties page in
the wMMI or by confirming the new release on the upgrader.
Thuraya Orion IP User Guide 21
10. Once loaded onto a PC, the upgrade program can be used
to upgrade any number of Thuraya Orion IP units. Just
connect them one at a time and execute the upgrade
program.

Glossary
ADU: Above Deck Unit. The Thuraya Orion IP tracking antenna.
APN: Access Point Name. APNs can be assigned to each external
network interface to allow communications among multiple Internet
Service Providers (ISPs). If use of multiple ISPs is required in your
network, on Thuraya Orion IP wMMI Network Settings screen you can
enable APN and enter the value supplied by your Service Provider.
BDU: Below Deck Unit. The Thuraya Orion IP inside vehicle unit.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP is a communications
protocol that lets network administrators manage centrally and
automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organization's
network. With use of the Internet Protocol, each machine that can
connect to the Internet needs a unique IP address. You must make
sure that the Windows network settings on your PC are set to allow
the network to choose IP settings automatically.
DNS: Domain Name Service, a static, hierarchical name service for
TCP/IP hosts. The network administrator configures the DNS with a list
of host names and IP addresses, allowing users of workstations
configured to query the DNS to specify remote systems by host
names rather than IP addresses. On Thuraya Orion IP wMMI Network
Settings screen, a primary and possibly a secondary DNS address
supplied by your Service Provider must be assigned.
Ethernet: Ethernet is a local area networking method used widely
throughout the computer industry.
GGSN: Gateway GPRS Support Node.
GPRS: General Packet Radio System.
GPS: Global Positioning System. When the GPS receiver in Thuraya Orion
IP gets a bearing on a GPS satellite, the receiver computes and
stores the terminal’s location on earth. That location is used in the
Pointing Process to obtain your location relative to the Thuraya
Satellite.
NAT: Network Address Translation.
Normal Operational Mode: In this mode, the Thuraya Orion IP is
connected to your network, allowing you to perform standard
system activities such as Internet browsing.
PDP: Packet Data Protocol.

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.
