Nera F33

General

The Nera F33 satellite terminal provides 4.8 kbps

global speech service via the Inmarsat satellite

system.

Nera F33 offers 9.6 kbps telefax, compressed data

service and MPDS (Mobile Packet Data Service)

within the Inmarsat spot beam coverage, see

Satellite Coverage Map.

Antenna Unit

The Nera F33 Antenna Unit consists of:

• Servo stabilized antenna dish with RF-Transceiver

• GPS receiver

• Radome

• Optional tower or mast mounting

Main Communication Unit - MCU

The Nera F33 Main Communication Unit (MCU) -

which constitutes the major electronic part - is de-

signed for wall or desktop installation.

The MCU power input is 11 - 32VDC.

The maximum power requirement is approx. 110 W

(170 W for a short period at start-up).

The MCU supplies 48 VDC power to the Antenna Unit

through the coaxial cable.

Nera ISDN Handset

The handset keypad and built-in display allows

dialing and control of the MCU and antenna.

GETTING STARTED

Nera F33

SIM card

The SIM card carries subscription information from

your Net service provider on an integrated circuit.

The Nera F33 used with the SIM card assumes the

identity of the SIM card.

The SIM card has its own set of Inmarsat Mobile

Numbers (IMN) on which the user can be contacted

irrespective of the Nera F33 used.

All outgoing calls will be billed to the owner of the

SIM card.

The SIM card is protected by a SIM PIN (Personal

Identification Number). Contact your Net service

provider if you do not have the PIN code.

If the PIN code entered does not match the PIN code

on the SIM card, operation with that particular SIM

card will lock-up after three failed attempts. You must

then use the SIM un-block code (PUK code) pro-

vided by your Net service provider to un-lock the

card. Contact your Net service provider if you do not

have the PUK code.

Note!

When the PUK is used, the SIM PIN is set to 1 2 3 4.

To change or disable the PIN code, see User

Guide > Access level on the enclosed CD.

The SIM card can store various information, e.g.:

•PIN code (Personal Identification Number)

•Phone book

•Allowed Net service providers

Note! Nera F33 can be used with or without SIM

card. The Net service provider, however, sometimes

requires the use of SIM card.

The SIM card is located on the rear panel of the Main

Communication Unit, see figure 6. The cover must

be removed to access the the card slot. The cover is

attached by two serrated screws. No tools are

required to loosen the screws.

When entering the SIM card, the terminal prompts for

SIM PIN:

Information

Satellite search

Some geographic locations allow contact with more

than one Ocean Region satellite. It is recommended

to choose an Ocean Region providing good signal

quality and cost-effective communication.

Use the Satellite Coverage Map on next pages to

select the Ocean Region at your location:

Atlantic Ocean Region West: AOR-W

Atlantic Ocean Region East: AOR-E

Pacific Ocean Region: POR

Indian Ocean Region: IOR

Regions 4 - 7 are not in use.

To select another Ocean Region:

1 Open the MENU and

press Sat. Search:

Pressing

OK

opens the

list of searching alternatives:

2 Select as required:

When selecting Find Any,

the antenna searches one

Ocean Region after the other

until a satellite signal is found.

When selecting a specific

Ocean Region (AOR-W,

AOR-E, POR or IOR) the

system knows the elevation

and will find the satelite fast if

visible.

The antenna performs an

hemispheric search at

antenna elevation angles

varying within 0º through 90º.
