The document provides detailed instructions for activating and configuring the Kymeta Peregrine u8 antenna system for OneWeb connectivity, including optional integration with KVH systems. Below is a summarized guide based on the provided document:

Activating Your System

  1. Complete the Activation Form:
  • Obtain the activation form from your KVH dealer or sales representative.
  • Provide one of the following system identifiers:
    • Antenna unit serial number
    • IMEI
    • KVH serial number
  • These identifiers are found on the label on the Kymeta shipping box or the bottom of the antenna (see Figure 1).
  • Email the completed form to airtimeservices@kvh.com.

  • After activation, KVH will email login credentials for eBill, where you can monitor data usage.

Connecting to the Internet

  1. Connect Your Device:
  • Connect your vessel’s computer or network device to the Kymeta system’s Data cable.
  • The system’s DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses.
  1. Manual Configuration (if DHCP is not enabled):
  • Set a static IP address: Between 192.168.100.10 and 192.168.100.126
  • Gateway: 192.168.100.1
  • Subnet: 255.255.255.128 (/25)

Updating Ephemeris Data

  1. Download Ephemeris Data:
  • Connect a laptop to the internet and visit https://ephemeris.oneweb.net.
  • Navigate to the Itet/ directory and download the Itet.csv file (updated every 30 days, expires after 90 days).
  1. Connect to the System:
  • Power on the Intellian OneWeb system.
  • Connect your laptop to the “MGMT” port on the CNX-WIFI or CNX-Rack using an Ethernet cable.
  1. Upload Ephemeris Data:
  • Open a web browser and go to 192.168.100.1.
  • Access the Install Wizard, select “Start Installation,” and proceed to “Upload Ephemeris Data.”
  • Browse and upload the Itet.csv file, then select “Upload.”
  • After upload, click “Next,” then “Reboot” to apply changes.
  • Complete the remaining steps of the Install Wizard until “Installation Complete” is displayed.

Optional CommBox Edge

  • The CommBox Edge Communications Gateway integrates and manages multiple communication channels (OneWeb, Starlink, 5G/LTE, VSAT, Wi-Fi, etc.).
  • Features include:
  • Prioritization and bonding of WAN connections
  • Configurable application controls, content filters, rate limits, and usage quotas
  • Secure remote access and cloud-managed interface
  • For more details, visit kvh.com/edge or contact sales@kvh.com.

Pairing OneWeb System with a KVH Antenna System

  1. Change the IP Address (TracNet H-series and Coastal Pro only):
  • Power on the Kymeta antenna system.
  • Connect your laptop to the “Data” Ethernet port.
  • Access the SSM user interface at 192.168.100.1.
  • Navigate to Diagnostics > Advanced Configuration.
  • Change the CNX Interface IPv4 Address to 198.19.55.1 and select “Try.”
  • Wait for settings to apply, then access the SSM at 198.19.55.1 and save the changes.
  1. Connect the Kymeta Antenna to the KVH System:
  • Connect the Kymeta antenna’s “Data” cable to Ethernet port 4 on the TracNet Hub+/Hub or TracPhone ICM (unless otherwise specified by KVH).
  1. Update KVH Software (if necessary):
  • Check the software version on the KVH system’s Support page.
  • Update via the KVH app or web interface if needed (refer to www.kvh.com/support/product-help).
  1. Configure the KVH Antenna (TracPhone HTS-series only):
  • Contact KVH Technical Support (mvbsupport@kvh.com) for a configuration file to enable automatic switching to OneWeb as the primary connection.
  1. Select Compatible Port Configuration (TracNet H-series and Coastal Pro only):
  • Log into the TracNet web interface or KVH Manager.
  • Choose a port configuration that includes “Alternate WAN” to prioritize the OneWeb connection.

Notes

  • Do not attempt to update software during the ephemeris data upload process, as updates are typically sent over the air.
  • For TracPhone V30 models, a third-party network management device (e.g., CommBox Edge) is required for automatic switching.
  • Information is subject to change without notice (document dated 2024, KVH Industries, Inc.).
