REVISION HISTORY Revision 0.
1.0 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this guide is to provide assistance to the technical personnel installing the ICO MCAP Mobile Communication Alpha Platform) User Equipment (UE) in a vehicle or at a lab bench. The guide starts of with brief background of User Equipment, installation information of each component and installation tips. Then a section describes the commissioning of UE. Installation Warning This product is to be installed by technician who has read and understand this installation guide.
The UT consists of a User Device (UD) and User Equipment (UE). The User Device includes the computing platforms and displays which will manage applications and end user interactions. The User Equipment, which will be provided by Hughes, consists of • a DVB-SH receiver for multicast reception via direct satellite path and indirect path via terrestrial repeaters. It is located inside the Trunk Mount Gateway (TMG), • a GMR-1 transceiver for satellite interactive services.

1.4 SYSTEM POWER REQUIREMENTS There is only one power source connector for the entire TMG. This must be connected to a +12 VDC power supply. Power requirements are shown below: Table 1 System Power Requirements Voltage Input Minimum Voltage Input Maximum Total Current for TMG and Antenna Required Fuse 11VDC 16VDC 2.

Three antenna ports for DVB-SH interface directly to external antenna assembly. The fourth antenna port is for DVB/GMR reception connecting to the external antenna. It also also carries 12VDC power to external antenna.
Figure 8 ICO MCAP UE Antenna RF Cable Package To avoid connection between TMG’s DVB/GMR port that carries power to the DVB only ports at the antenna assembly, the DVB/GMR ports at TMG use TNC connectors instead of SMA connectors. Figure 9 TMG and Antenna Assembly RF Connector Types Two types of antenna RF cables are provided. Three SMA-SMC type cables for DVB only connections and one TNC-SMA type cable for DVB/GMR connection.

2.0 FIRST TIME SETUP This section guides you thorugh the process of setting up and configuring you ICO MCAP UE for the first time. The steps presented should be followed in the given order. 2.1 UNPACKING Unpack the UE and accessory package items.
Figure 12 Lab Bench Power Supply Connection 2.3 SETTING UP THE TRUNK MOUNT GATEWAY (TMG) These are the basic steps to setup the TMG and get it up and running: Step 1: TMG Power Cable Connection Step 2: Antenna Cable Connection to TMG Step 3: Connecting Ethernet Cable and USB Cable to TMG Step 4: Mounting TMG brackets in the trunk STEP 1: TMG Power Cable Connection 1. Unpack the TMG and accessories. Open the packet with 3 wires (RED/ BLACK/ YELLOW) in it. 2.
Figure 13 Power Cable Connection to TMG
STEP 2: Antenna Cable Connection to TMG There are 2 types of antenna connector on the TMG as shown on figure 5 1) There are 3 SMA type RF connectors for DVB only interface to antenna 2) There is 1 TNC type RF connector for GMR-1/DVB + 12 volt power for antenna A. If one is going to connect TMG to antenna assembly. Use the 4 RF cables provided for connection. B. If the set up is for the TMG to be connected with lab equipment such as vector signal znalyzer (VSA) or other signal source device (e.g. SMIQ).

3.0 APPENDIX This section describes telnet session into TMG and software upgrade procedure. 3.1 TELNETING / FTP TO TMG 1. Open a telnet / FTP session to TMG via command line or other terminal program. The IP address is 192.168.128.100 2. The username: icoa, password: icoauser 3. Hit enter and you will be at the user prompt ready to communicate with TMG. 3.2 DOWNLOAD NEW SOFTWARE TO THE TMG 1. An UE’s TMG software release consists of 2 files: - the binary image: icoa.bin (but could be named "yourfilename.
3.3 ACCESS TO TEST SIM The ICO MCAP UE TMG is shipped with a test SIM pre-programmed with appropriate IMSI for alpha trial. It should not be removed from the TMG unless one suspects the test SIM is faulty. To access the test SIM, remove the screws from the face plate opposite to the connector side. Locate the SIM card holder as indicated below. Figure 16 SIM Card Holder Location Push on the white test SIM and the SIM card holder will eject the test SIM. 3.
