INTRODUCTION
Intellian v100 Features
Balance-free installation
The v100 is equipped with an integrated RF module consisting of BUC and LNB. This BUC
and LNB mounting assembly is attached to the rear side of the reector in order to support
easy conversion and balance-free installation.
Optimized reector for Ku or Ka-band
The v100 is designed and engineered to operate on both Ku and Ka-band. The reector of
the v100 is capable of handling either Ku or Ka-band without the need to replace the reector
when the system is converted to Ka-band. The system is supplied with a Ku-band feed chain
as standard. The 1m reector for the v100 satises EIRP and G/T performance of both Ku
and Ka-band.
Gyro-free satellite search capability
Intellian’s new generation gyro-free satellite search function enables the v100 to acquire and
lock onto the satellite without requiring a separate input from the ship’s gyrocompass.
DVB/DVB-S2 and NBD detection capability
Intellian v100 is capable of detecting DVB-S/DVB-S2 signal, SCPC, and Narrow- Band signal
using integrated digital tuner and the narrow band detector (NBD).
Graphical and user-friendly antenna control software
Intellian’s next generation Antenna Control Software, ‘Aptus
®
’ is developed based on the
Intellian developed ‘Antenna Remote Management System (ARMS) Software Development
Kit (SDK)’. This graphic-based software is designed to remotely monitor and control Intellian
antennas through an IP network.
Dedicated Management Ethernet Port
The v100 has a Management Ethernet Port on the ACU front that enables direct and simple
network connection between a PC and the ACU. The Management Port supports DHCP
network connection by default, allowing automatic IP congurations, Internet access and
quick access to Intellian's remote management solution, the Aptus Web.
Wireless access via Wi-Fi
The built-in Wi-Fi wireless network card enables the ACU to be wirelessly connected that can
be either turned on and off by a switch. Any kind of wireless devices such as PCs, laptops
and smartphones can be used to connect to the ACU and monitor, control and change the
settings of Intellian antenna system wirelessly.
Intelligent rmware upgrade
Intellian v100 provides easy and intelligent rmware upgrade methods. Firmware upgrade
can be automatically initiated by plugging a rmware stored USB Memory Stick to the USB
Port on the ACU front or by launching ‘Firmware Upgrade’ on the Aptus
®
or Aptus Web.
User can also manually select a rmware le on a local disk and complete the upgrade. The
rmware can be rolled back to a previous version as the ACU’s built-in memory stores the
current and previous rmware les.
