Rotate the locking collar on the connector gently until it is properly engaged as shown in Figure 2-5. AVOID USING A WRENCH OR PLIERS TO TIGHTEN OR LOOSEN THE CONNECTOR. Using a tool other than your hand may result in over-torqueing or damaging the internal seals. Figure 2-4. Key Slot Figure 2-5. Cable Connector and Locking Collar Install adhesive-lined shrink tubing as required around the cable ends to improve cable harness performance and maximize wear life. Install a metal cable tie holder with an outdoor rated epoxy/adhesive for best holder retention. 1215301, Rev. 001 ViaSat Proprietary Information 2-3 FT2225 Terminal User Manual Secure the cable with metal tie holders and black UV-rated cable ties at intervals along the cable assembly to minimize cable and connector strain as shown in Figure 2-6. Leave enough slack at the terminal connector end to reduce tension when installing or removing the connector. Route the remaining cable assembly neatly for a professional installation appearance. CAUTION: Cable management and connector strain relief must be incorporated in the installation. Securing the cable at regular intervals along its length as part of the installation to prevent cable wear and eliminate strain on the terminal connector. Damage to the terminal connector interface or cable may otherwise result leading to hardware failure. Figure 2-6. Cable Management CAUTION: Turn off Power Supply before connecting to terminal. After mounting the terminal to a support and reattaching the connector to the terminal, it is ready for power on. 2.4 Powering Up The FT2225 terminal is designed to automatically start up when DC power is applied. An ON/OFF power switch does not exist on the terminal. At the completion of its power-up sequence, the terminal will automatically search for GNSS and VMS satellite signals. CAUTION: Do not stand in front on the unit once power is applied. 2.5 Obtaining a GNSS Fix The VMS network does not require the terminal location to access the network. However, terminal location enables optimal customer service. At the completion of its power-up sequence, the terminal will automatically search for GNSS and VMS satellite signals. The default position reporting uses GPS satellites and the terminal will automatically attempt to get a new GPS lock every time it is powered on. Obtaining a lock may take up to 5 minutes upon power-up. 1215301, Rev. 001 ViaSat Proprietary Information 2-4 FT2225 Terminal User Manual 2.6 Antenna Pointing In order to obtain the best possible signal, it is important that the terminal is pointed correctly towards a VMS satellite. Incorrect pointing may result in poor signal quality, and in some cases prevent the terminal from being able to operate on the VMS network. 2.6.1 Pointing Using Commercial Satellite Finder Apps Appendix F: VMS Pointing Procedure contains a list of popular antenna pointing apps. Use Coverage map provided in Appendix E: Satellite Coverage Map to determine appropriate VMS satellite. Follow direction in Appendix F: VMS Pointing Procedure to point the terminal. CAUTION: Do not touch the radome when pointing the antenna in order to avoid blocking the signal. 2.6.2 Pointing Using Web Server Select Antenna Pointing under the Administration tab. The RSSI meter reports a value that is proportional to receiver signal strength. Turn and tilt the antenna to fine tune pointing using the signal strength indicators. The number of bars that are green indicates the strength of the received signal. Try to maximize the number of bars.. 2.6.3 Pointing Using VMSFinder CAUTION: Disconnect the power cable before performing the pointing procedure using VMSFinder. VMSFinder is an antenna pointing application, developed specifically for VMS. In order to use VMSFinder with your smart phone, you will first need to download and install VMSFinder from TBD. Please ensure that power is disconnected from the FT2225. To perform pointing procedure, perform the following actions: 1. Start Sat Aligner app. 2. Make sure that location services is enable on your smart phone (VMSFinder uses GPS position to select the proper satellite). 3. Lay the phone flat on top of the FT2225 radome. 4. Turn and tilt the FT2225 and the phone together until the circle representing the satellite moves to the center crosshairs and turn green. 5. Secure the unit in place. 6. The FT2225 is now ready for use. 1215301, Rev. 001 ViaSat Proprietary Information 2-5 FT2225 Terminal User Manual Thuraya-2 El: 57.9o Az: 205.1o El: 58.0o Az: 205.2o Figure 2-7.

CAUTION: Modifying the IP Address and Subnet Masks can result in loss of connectivity to the terminal. See Section 4 for more information on network configuration settings and examples. 3.4.2 DHCP Server There are two options for DHCP server configuration: dynamic and static (Figure 3-6). Dynamic Assignments The DHCP server can be configured with a pool of IP addresses that it will lease to clients. The Pool Start and Pool End fields are set to the start and end IP addresses. The Netmask field is set to the subnet mask that a client should use. Each of these fields must be a valid IP address or subnet mask in dot notation (a.b.c.d). The lease time is the time in minutes that a lease given to a client will be valid. 1215301, Rev. 001 ViaSat Proprietary Information 3-5 FT2225 Terminal User Manual Static Assignments The DHCP server can also be configured to provide a static IP address to a particular network device. The network device is determined by its hardware MAC address. Each time the DHCP server gets a request from a device that matches the MAC address the assigned IP address will be given to the device. The Name field is the hostname of the network device that will be assigned a static IP address. This name must not contain any white space and should consist of alphanumeric characters, hyphens or underscores. The MAC Address field is set to the MAC address of the network device. This field must be specified as follows: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, where xx is a two-digit hexadecimal number. The IP Address field specifies the IP address to be assigned to the network device with the corresponding MAC address. The IP address is specified in dot notation (a.b.c.d).

DHCP Server - Static IP Assignments Table Static Routes Static routes are configured and listed in Figure 3-10 Figure 3-10. DHCP Server - Static Routes Tables 3.4.3 Port Forwarding The ViaSat terminal provides a network address translator (NAT) that creates a private network for devices attached to the terminal. Devices behind the terminal NAT are invisible to any hosts outside the terminal NAT. The only way to access a device behind the terminal is either: • Have the device behind the terminal initiate the connection • Create a port forwarding assignment to the device in the terminal Port forwarding allows incoming UDP or TCP packets destined for a specific port to be forwarded to a network device (client or host) “behind” the terminal NAT. The incoming packet will be forwarded to the destination port and IP address defined by the port forwarding rule. Using port forwarding assigns the port being forwarded to a single host IP address and excludes this port from being used by any other host. CAUTION: Modifying port forwarding settings can result in loss of connectivity to the network. See Section 4 for details on network configuration and examples. Port Forward Assignments Any currently active port forwarding assignments will be shown in the Port Forwarding Assignments table (Figure 3-11). To add a port forwarding configuration, enter the following information into the Port Forwarding table: 1. Name – Set to the logical name of the service being forwarded. This name must not contain any white space and should consist of alphanumeric characters, hyphens or underscores. 2. Incoming Port – Set to the port number of the service to be forwarded, such as 21 for FTP. 3. Protocol – Select between UDP/TCP/Both. 4. Server IP – Set to the IP address, in dot notation, of the host that the packets will be forwarded to. 1215301, Rev. 001 ViaSat Proprietary Information 3-7 FT2225 Terminal User Manual 5. Server Port – Set to the port number on the Server IP that the packets will be sent to. This port can be the same as the Incoming Port, but does not need to be. 6.

The following illustration shows an example network. An application server connects to the ViaSat Hub through the Internet to communicate with two terminals, where each terminal has two clients behind it. Application Server Internet Terminal B Terminal A VIaSat Hub NAT NAT/DHCP Terminal B Network NAT/DHCP Terminal A Network ViaSat Hub PC B1 PC A1 PC B2 PC A2 Figure 4-1. ViaSat Network Architecture The IP network architecture uses two NAT devices between an external device connecting via the Internet and network devices behind the terminal. One NAT exists at the gateway to the ViaSat Hub and another at the terminal. The terminal NAT provides security to the network behind the terminal by blocking access to devices within the terminal network from the Internet and devices connected to the ViaSat Hub. Port forwarding in the terminal must be configured to allow access through the terminal NAT for applications to communicate with devices within the terminal network. Any device within the terminal network must also be configured to use the terminal as its default gateway to the Internet and any devices connected to the ViaSat Hub. This may be accomplished by using the DHCP server in the terminal or by configuring a default gateway manually on each device within the terminal network. In order to connect a PC or other device over the ViaSat Network through the terminal, you must properly configure your device and terminal. The instructions below are for a typical configuration to establish connectivity. Your terminal retailer or integrator may give you specific instructions to establish a custom network connection in lieu of the instructions below. 1215301, Rev. 001 ViaSat Proprietary Information 4-1 FT2225 Terminal User Manual For a typical configuration, follow these steps: 1. Determine the applications that will be communicating with devices attached to the terminal via the terminal LAN/WLAN. 2. For each application determine the protocol used (UDP or TCP) and the port numbers that these applications will be using. 3. Set your device’s IP settings to use DHCP. 4. Plug your device into the terminal Ethernet cable. The terminal will by default assign a unique IP address to your device. 5. Login to the terminal webpage interface. See Section 3.2. Select the Settings tab. 6. Select the Port Forwarding option. 7. Enter the Port Forwarding information which includes: a. Application Port b. Protocol c. IP Address of the device these packets will be forwarded to. d. Port number these packets will be forwarded to. This will typically be the same as the Application Port. 1215301, Rev. 001 8. Press Add. 9. Perform steps 7-8 for each application port that needs to be forwarded.

The solder cup connector kit ships with the terminal. A.1 Required Tools The following tools are required to assemble the power/Ethernet cable: A.2 • Utility knife or similar • 22-26 AWG wire stripper • Diagonal cutters • Long-nose pliers • Soldering iron and solder Connector Information The mating connector is a Chogori 12-pin connector and the part number is 22012211-01. A.3 Cable Specification The cable selection for this application is influence by three main principles: current capacity, outdoor application and shielding. The operating input voltage range for the terminal is 9 to 32 VDC and draws 1.7 amperes. If the application requires an extended cable length, it is necessary to calculate the cable voltage drop to determine if the terminal is able to receive the minimum 9 volts for operation. Exposure to outdoor elements can degrade the insulation of the cable and allow moisture to penetrate the conductor and subsequently degrade the copper conductor. It’s highly recommended that the cable chosen shall be able to withstand UV rays. Cable shielding is a critical design element over long distance. The cable selection can adversely be affected by EMI/RFI/ESI. Ideally, multi-shield (foil & braid) is recommended. This design has superior shielding characteristics from signal interferences. A.4 Cable Assembly Steps Use a utility knife to remove 12mm of the outer jacket of the cable and use diagonal cutters to remove any shielding as shown in Figure A-1. Carefully remove 2-3mm of insulation from the wires using a wire stripper. Avoid nicking the center conductor as you strip the insulation from the wire. Figure A-1. Cable Assembly Preparation The bare ends on the stripped wire may require twisting to prevent fraying when the connector parts are slid over the cable. Slide the items over the cable in sequential order as shown in Figure A-2. Observe that the seal ring and red gasket are present. 1215301, Rev. 001 ViaSat Proprietary Information A-1 FT2225 Terminal User Manual Figure A-2.

Cable Assembly - Step 5 1215301, Rev. 001 ViaSat Proprietary Information A-3 FT2225 Terminal User Manual Appendix B Pole Mount The FT2225 can be mounted on any flat surface that is wide as the bottom outline as shown in Figure 4 and inst alled onto a pole using the pole mount adapter. Instructions are included to install the terminal on any vertical position on a pole or on a horizontal support. The vertical pole or horizontal support must have sufficient height to achieve an unobstructed view to the satellite. B.1 Required Tools The following tools are required to assemble and attach the terminal to a pole. B.2 • Crescent wrench • Philips screwdriver • Flat blade screwdriver • Pliers Required Materials The following materials are required to assemble and attach the terminal to a pole. B.3 • Pole mount adapter and kit • Stainless steel hose clamps • Hardware kit Installation Steps The following are the installation steps to assemble and attach the terminal to a pole. 1. Audit the antenna bracket hardware kit. 2. Remove the bracket parts from the hardware kit. 3. Pre-assemble the pieces to prepare for installation. 4. Attach the upper bracket assembly and terminal adapter to the mounting pole. 5. Attach the lower bracket assembly to the antenna support/mounting pole. 6. Attach the FT2225 terminal to the adapter plate and secure bolts/nuts. 7. Adjust terminal adapter plate in the direction of the satellite and ensure there is no obstructed view to the satellite. 8. Tightened the bolts and nuts at the joints. 9. Route and secure FT2225 cable assembly along the pole using metal tie mounts. Use self-tapping screws to secure the metal tie mounts to the pole. 10. Install the cable assembly to the metal tie mounts and secure using black cable ties. A cable service loop may be required at joints to allow re-pointing of the terminal. 11. Leave a cable service loop/slack at the FT2225 connector to ease connector termination. This will allow the installer to re-terminate the connector with ease. 1215301, Rev. 001 ViaSat Proprietary Information B-1 FT2225 Terminal User Manual Appendix C Roof Mount Example The FT2225 can be installed on any flat surface that is wide as the bottom outline, as shown in Figure xx. 1215301, Rev. 001 ViaSat Proprietary Information Comment [PT3]: Need the roof mount graphic C-1 FT2225 Terminal User Manual Appendix D Satellite Coverage Maps Figure D-1 shows the Thuraya satellite coverage map and Figure D-2 shows the LightSquared SkyTerra-1 satellite coverage map.

Doing so can cause personal casualty or damage the equipment. A Satellite finder application for your smart phone is the easiest method to locate a geostationary satellite wherever you are. The recommended Satellite Pointing Programs for smartphones are listed below. iPhone Satellite Locator: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/satellitelocator/id540894938?mt=8 Dish Pointer: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dishpointer-ar-pro/id321914743?mt=8 Android Satellite Director: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zekitez.com.satellitedirector&hl=en Satellite Pointer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tda.satpointer&hl=en Dish Pointer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dishpointer.dparpro&hl=en The FT2225 antenna peaking procedure is used to ensure the terminal has an unobstructed LOS to the satellite. 1. Enable your Satellite Finder/Locater apps on our mobile phone and point to the sky. 2. Move your mobile phone up and down and left and right to get a satellite arc on a live video display. You wi ll see satellites line up along the arc and see if there are any obstructed buildings/trees blocking the line of sight. 3. Place the FT2225 terminal/support in a spot where the Satellite Finder has an unobstructed LOS to the satellite to begin antenna peaking. 4. View Section 3.3 Status Page and observe the Es/No reading. 5. Very slowly optimize the FT2225 in azimuth from east to west direction and observe the Es/No reading. The Es/No should be at a maximum signal when peaked. 6. Repeat step 2 for elevation direction. 7. Once it is apparent that the signal does not increase in signal, make a mark on the antenna mount to indicate it is peaked in azimuth and elevation. 8. Tighten the azimuth and elevation bolts or clamp bolts. 9. If necessary, repeat these steps to confirm the FT2225 is peaked. 1215301, Rev. 001 ViaSat Proprietary Information E-1
