What action should be taken if an Inmarsat Fleet Broadband antenna continuously changes azimuth after initialization?
  • Replace the gyro repeater motor in the Antenna Tracking Unit.
  • Correct Answer
    Use the Web interface to check the event log.
  • Check the EL step motor with power off.
  • Check the integrity of the antenna interface cable.

What condition would cause failure of an Inmarsat-C terminal to power up when AC voltage is present at the input terminals of the power supply?
  • A defective coaxial cable connecting the terminal to the antenna.
  • The failure of an I.F. amplifier stage in the terminal's receiver.
  • Correct Answer
    A component failure within the power supply itself.
  • A defective video monitor connected to the Inmarsat-C terminal.

What condition would cause an IP connection failure between a technician's laptop and an Inmarsat Fleet Broadband terminal?
  • The laptop settings are not compatible with the terminal's LAN port.
  • The technician has disabled the Power over Ethernet (POE) function.
  • The EIA-232 configuration is not compatible with the Inmarsat terminal.
  • Correct Answer
    The technician has connected the Ethernet cable to the terminal's ISDN port.

What condition would cause a connection failure between a technician's laptop and an Inmarsat Fleet Broadband terminal?
  • Correct Answer
    The wrong IP address was entered as the URL in the web browser.
  • The ASD function is enabled but the HSD function is disabled.
  • The terminal's DTE port is set to the Asynchronous Data Service.
  • The password for the High Speed Data service has been improperly entered.

Interference induced from nearby HF transmitters may cause Inmarsat system failures. What is the most appropriate action to resolve this problem?
  • Install a longer ground lead to the INMARSAT terminal.
  • Install a low-pass filter between the coax cable and antenna.
  • Reduce bias to the INMARSAT antenna's Low Noise Amplifier.
  • Correct Answer
    Install ferrite clamps on the coax cable to suppress induced RF.

What condition will lower the observed bit rate on a Fleet Broadband terminal?
  • Correct Answer
    A standard IP satellite channel that is "busy" with many active users.
  • Selection of an upstream IP data service for downstream high-speed data transmission.
  • Use of the FTP, POP, SMTP or HTTP protocol instead of TCP/IP.
  • Use of highly contended connections instead of store-and-forward IP circuits.
