The LT-4230 Antenna Unit must be installed outside the radar main beam. Typically, this is in the order of 10 degrees. To avoid near field antenna coupling, a minimum distance of 2.5 m (8 ft) between the radar antenna and the LT-4230 Antenna Unit must be obeyed. Figure 13 is illustrating how the LT-4230 Antenna Unit should be mounted to avoid interference from radars.
Figure 13: LT-4230 Antenna Unit Avoid Radar Beam
IMPORTANT:
Failing to obey the specified installation conditions will void the warranty. However, depending on the specific radar frequency and power level, the separation distance between the radar and the LT-4230 Antenna Unit may be reduced, with no impact on the antenna performance. The performance of the LT-4230 Antenna Unit should be validated when the LT-4200 system is installed.

Activating the System
Activating the System
A few things must be completed before you can have an operational LT-4200
system on board your vessel. It is assumed that you have received the LT-4200
system from a Lars Thrane A/S distribution partner – this could be directly or
indirectly. The Lars Thrane A/S distribution partner will be able to assist
you with all the questions you might have to the product or service. The Lars
Thrane A/S distribution partners are listed on the company’s website:
https://www.thrane.eu
The following steps are required for activating the LT-4200 system:
· Acquire and activate an Iridium Certus SIM card.
Acquire a Certus SIM Card A Certus SIM card must be used for activating a
LT-4200 system. The Certus SIM card is described and illustrated in Certus SIM
card (SIM) on page 24. The Certus SIM card may be acquired directly from your
Lars Thrane A/S distribution partner or from an Iridium Certus Service
Provider. The Certus SIM card must be inserted in the LT-4210 Control Unit
before powering up the system.
Postpaid Voice Features All Iridium Certus terminals can only be used with the
standard postpaid voice service. The postpaid voice service features the
ability to block calls either ingoing or outgoing, call forwarding, call
forwarding when busy, call forwarding when there is no answer and call
forwarding when the LT-4200 system is unreachable. Configuring and using these
features is described in Supplementary services on page 51.

Voice Call The LT-4200 system supports 3 x voice call via three high-quality
voice lines. The voice calls can be simultaneously active when using different
voice lines. The system can be set up to use one, two or three voice lines.
The voice lines are configurable to connect to multiple phones. Any voice call
to or from the LT4200 system will generate a record in the Call History placed
in the Phone submenu (MENU -> Phone -> Call History), see Phone on page 59.
The three voice lines enables the owner of the LT-4200 system to have three
voice calls up at the same time from different phones. e.g., the bridge can
have an active call, while the captain can have an active call simultaneously
from his cabin. The three voice lines each have their own unique MSISDN (phone
number) and they function as separate entities, with the user being able to
configure SIP phones and the LT-4210 Control Unit for the lines. An example
voice line configuration can be seen on Figure 43 below.
Figure 43: Example of voice line configuration
The system is per default set to choose voice line automatically and will
choose line 1 per default when initiating outgoing calls, however this can be
configured to either automatic or manual selection, as described, Settings on

Analogue Phone Adapter The LT-4200 system is supporting connection of one or more external Analogue Phone Adapters (e.g. Grandstream). Each of the POTS’ phones (Plain Old Telephone System) connected to the Analogue Phone Adapter, must be configured as individual SIP phones in the LT-4200 system, see configuration of SIP phones in Web server, Telephony on page 99. Connect the SIP phones directly to the LT-4210 Control Unit Ethernet (LAN port).
NOTE:
Figure 47: Analogue Phone Adapter
The Analogue Phone Adapter might require a DHCP Server to get an IP address
assigned. Depending on network setup, it might be needed to configure DHCP
Server mode in the LT4200 system.
To provide some guidance for configuration of an Analogue Phone Adapter, the following description will outline some important steps for configuring an Analogue Phone Adapter.
Configuration of Grandstream HT802 Adapter (example):
If you would like to connect the Analogue Phone Adapter directly to the
LT-4200 system, then it might help you to insert a passive switch between the
LT-4200 system and the Analogue Phone Adapter, while completing the setup (to
allow for an extra LAN port during configuration).
Step 1: Connect the LT-4200 system, Analogue Phone Adapter, and PC using a
passive switch
Step 2: Login to the LT-4200 system web server. The IP address can be read
from the display (MENU -> System -> Network: IP address)
Step 3: Configure the LT-4200 system to DHCP Server’ mode (depending on network setup) and configure the SIP phones (Password, and Caller ID) Step 4: The Analogue Phone Adapter will now have an IP address assigned. Connect a POTS phone to the Analogue Phone Adapter and use the IVR menu to read out the IP address (off hook handset and type***’ followed by `02′).
Check the instructions provided for the Analogue Phone Adapter
Step 5: Log in to the Analogue Phone Adapter and configure FXS PORT 1 and PORT
2 (Primary SIP Server, SIP User ID, Authenticate ID, Password, and Name)
Step 6: The POTS phones should now be registered and ready to use (the passive
switch can be removed).

Data The LT-4200 Certus ® 200 system offers the following Iridium Certus ®
data services
· Background IP data · Secondary Data Flow (SDF)
This section describes the different ways the LT-4200 system can be set up to
handle outgoing and incoming data. The section describes the concepts and
effects of the user actions regarding Data. For further information on how to
configure the system for data management see, Web server, Network on page 86
and IP Data on page 98. The Data usage can be seen in the Phone Usage submenu
in the Phone menu. This is shown in System Submenus, Phone. Note that the
LT-4210 does not present the Data usage with 100% accuracy as e.g., a bad
connection could force the system to resend data packets, which is not tracked
in the Data usage list. The Secondary Data Flow service is described in
Secondary Data Flow on page 58.
NOTE:
The LT-4200 system has a built in DNS server which will cache user requests, efficiently limiting requests over the satellite link. Having an input DNS server reduces the user data stream, eventually reducing data cost.
Data activation The LT-4200 system can be configured to either Always on’ or Manual start/stop’, this can either be done on the Web server as described in
Web server, IP Data on page 98, or via the LT-4210 Control Unit as shown in
System Submenus, Settings.
Always on
When the system is set to Always on the data stream will as the name suggests
always be open for activity. The system will be able to send data if need be
and if permitted by the outgoing firewall / port forwarding rules.
Manual start/stop
When the background IP Data service is set to Manual start/stop the user has
direct control of when data can be sent through the system. The user is able
to control this directly via a Start Data’ orStop Data’ soft

key on the LT-4210 Control Unit, see Figure 48 and Figure 49 on page 53. The Manual start/stop setting gives the operator of the system more direct control over when data can be transmitted and received by the system and will therefore be the more economical solution to outgoing IP data, as nothing is sent or received when the data stream is manually turned off.
Figure 49: Manual data Stop
NOTE:
PPPoE connections are not affected by Manual Start/stop
DNS The LT-4200 contains a recursive caching DNS server. The DNS server
resolves names in the local domain (hostname and DHCP client names), and uses
external DNS to resolve names in other domains.
It is possible to use external DNS servers directly (without using the caching
DNS server). However, if the firewall is enabled it is recommended always to
use the caching DNS server.
NOTE: NOTE:
If the firewall is enabled the DNS server only resolves names allowed by the
firewall rules
The DHCP server automatically announces the address of the DNS server. When
the LT4200 is in DHCP client mode or IP static mode, the PC must manually be
configured to use the DNS server at the LT-4200

Outgoing firewall The LT-4200 system allows the user to configure the outgoing firewall to only allow specific network traffic. This permits the user to block outgoing network traffic so that IP data is only used for warranted actions. The effect of this action is shown on Figure 50. Setting up the outgoing firewall is described in Configuration, Network on page 86.
Figure 50: Outgoing firewall
Port forwarding Port forwarding may be used on the LT-4200 system to remotely access IP data services running on user equipment connected to the LT-4200 LAN port. This allows the user of the system to configure web access for specific services using the LAN port on the LT-4200. To be able to use port forwarding, the IP address of the system using the LT-4200 LAN port should be statically assigned. This is explained in detail in Web server, Network on page 86.
NOTE:
Port forwarding rules are not affected by using Manual Start/Stop for IP Data activation as that action only covers outgoing data.

Masquerading
If the user of the LT-4200 system has configured a data connection to a pc or
service which has a preferred way of access to the Internet, then masquerading
may be of use. Masquerading allows the user to change the IP address for
services targeted by port forwarding. The source IP address will be changed to
the IP address of the LT-4200 LAN port. This forces the service to use the
LT-4200 data service. An example of this is illustrated in Figure 51. With
masquerading active the connected PC can only see the LT-4200 LAN port IP
address and is forced to use it to access the IP data.

Remote access The LT-4200 system offers the user the ability to remotely
manage the LT-4200 web interface. This feature makes it possible to access the
system from the internet. To enable activation of remote management it is
required that the IP address provisioned to the terminal is known, and it is
required that the IP address of the access point is provided to the Certus
Service Provider. This is further described in Public IP address on page 56.
How to configure the system for remote access is described in System Submenus,
Settings.
Public IP address To be able to use the remote management feature, the
operator of the system needs to have the public IP address provisioned to the
terminal, which is based on the IMEI and ICCID numbers. This is provisioned by
Iridium, but the user must contact their Certus Service Provider for retrieval
of the IP address.
In addition, the operator of the system needs to provide Iridium with the IP
address of their remote access point. This IP address must also be provided to
the Certus Service Provider. This is necessary as Iridium must configure their
firewall to accept the IP address of the service point so that it can access
the LT-4200 system remotely.

System Services
PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a link layer network
protocol used to facilitate direct communication between two network points.
When PPPoE is used in an existing Ethernet/IP network, the PPPoE protocol
creates an additional isolated IP network in parallel to the existing
Ethernet/IP network. This logical separation of the two IP networks allows the
LT-4200 to offer different properties and services on each network and thus
also to the clients connected to the respective network. Something similar can
be achieved with VLAN, but PPPoE has the additional advantages of being
connection oriented and having built-in authentication.
Also important is that operating systems like Microsoft Windows can be easily
configured not to send any data over the PPPoE network, except to/from
applications explicitly configured to use the PPPoE network. Because PPPoE is
connection oriented, the user can manually Connect/Disconnect from the PPPoE
network an thus control data usage directly from the PC. Some applications can
even Connect/Disconnect automatically making the use of PPPoE completely
transparent.
NOTE:
The IP data manual start/stop does not affect the PPPoE connection(s). To stop data flowing on a PPPoE connection, the PPPoE connection must be disconnected.
When configuring PPPoE in the LT-4200, it is optional whether the network traffic shall be routed through the firewall. Avoiding the firewall can be useful in case of trusted applications (e.g. weather or email) or for complete network devices trusted not to misuse the satellite link. The later can be e.g IoT devices or an advanced network router, which can automatically route traffic between the LT-4200 and e.g. a VSAT system, depending on availability of the VSAT service.
IMPORTANT: Do not configure the PC to use the PPPoE interface as the default route and simultaneously disable use of firewall
NOTE:
The LT-4200 PPPoE uses CHAP for authentication. The Authentication phase is encrypted, but not for the IP data.
NOTE:
PPPoE is per default disabled and must be activated for use.

The LT-4200 does not provide a DHCP server on the VLANs so hosts that wishes to use Secondary Data Flows must be manually configured to use the relevant SDF gateway address as either default gateway or gateway for the provisioned subnet of the SDF only.
Caching DNS server and firewall/port forwarding are not available on the Secondary Data Flows.
Secondary Data Flow connections are Always on. I.e. if a provisioned SDF is enabled by the user in the configuration, it will always be active

Bridge Alert Management (BAM)
Bridge Alert Management (BAM)
Bridge Alert Management (BAM) is the IMO defined overall concept for the
harmonized management, distribution, handling, and presentation of alerts on
the bridge, to enable the bridge team to devote full attention to the safe
operation of the ship and to immediately identify any alert situation
requiring action to maintain the safe operation of the ship. The LT-4200
system implements the BAM concept in compliance with the relevant standards
(IEC 62923-1 and IEC 62923-2 Bridge Alert Management).
BAM status
The LT-4200 system continuously monitors for fault conditions (e.g. no
satellite signal), that requires the attention of the bridge team and raises
relevant alerts. The user can, at any time, check for the presence of alerts
without performing any action: if there are one or more active alerts, a BAM
icon representing the alert with the highest priority is shown in the status
bar (see Figure 89). The exact icon shown depends on the priority and state of
the alert with the highest priority (see Table 20 on page 74). It is not
possible to hide or suppress the BAM icon in the status bar.
Figure 89: LT-4210 Control Unit (BAM status)
Alert list
Once the user has become aware an alert has been raised, the user can navigate
to the alert list (MENU -> System -> BAM Alerts) to find further information
about the alert conditions.
NOTE:
For quick access to the alert list, long press ( 1 s) the MENU button at any
time.
The BAM Alerts window will list the current unacknowledged and acknowledged
alerts.
Figure 90: LT-4210 Control Unit (BAM Alert list)
See App. B Bridge Alert Management (BAM) on page 114 for the full list of
alerts that can be raised by the LT-4200 system.

LT-4200 User & Installation Manual Rev. 1.02
Bridge Alert Management (BAM)
Alert priority and state The priority of an alert indicates its severity. The
BAM concept defines 4 priorities: Emergency Alarm, Alarm, Warning and Caution.
The LT-4200 system can raise alerts of the following priorities:
· Warning: Condition requiring immediate attention, but no immediate action by
the bridge team. Warnings are presented for precautionary reasons to make the
bridge team aware of changed conditions which are not immediately hazardous
but may become so if no action is taken.
· Caution: Lowest priority of an alert. Awareness of a condition which does
not warrant an alarm or warning condition, but still requires attention out of
the ordinary consideration of the situation or of given information.
The shape and color of the BAM icon indicates the priority of the alert and the symbol inside indicates its state as per Table 20 below.

Bridge Alert Management (BAM)
Temporary silence
Active unacknowledged alerts cause a short but periodically repeated audible
signal. To temporarily silence all alerts (and thus the audible signal), press
the “Silence All” soft key. The temporary silence period expires after 30 s,
after which active silenced alerts become active unacknowledged alerts again,
causing the audible signal to resume.
NOTE:
Figure 91: LT-4210 Control Unit (BAM Alerts)
Active unacknowledged alerts cause a short but periodically repeated audible
signal, which can be temporary silences (30 s) by pressing the soft key
`Silence All’. This temporary silence has been illustrated in Figure 91.
Alert acknowledgement
Alerts of priority warning must be acknowledged by the user. To acknowledge an
alert, press the “ACK Alert” soft key.
Some alerts cannot be acknowledged by the user, in which case the “ACK Alert”
soft key will be absent. This applies to alerts for which the alert text and
alert description is not enough for decision support.
When an alert is both acknowledged and rectified it disappears from the alert
list. Cautions cannot be acknowledged and thus disappear as soon as they are
rectified.
Aggregation
The BAM concept defines aggregation as a means for an alert source to combine
multiple individual alerts of the same kind into a single aggregated header
alert in order to help reduce the risk that the number of individual alerts
obscures the display of equally important additional alerts, for example due
to the active alert list length exceeding the maximum display capability of
the alert source UI.
NOTE:
The LT-4200 system currently does not define any alerts that can be aggregated.
Lars Thrane A/S
www.thrane.eu
Page 75 of 134
LT-4200 User & Installation Manual Rev. 1.02
Bridge Alert Management (BAM)
Responsibility transfer
The BAM concept defines the Central Alert Management (CAM) system as equipment
used for centralizing management, handling and presentation of alerts on the
bridge. A CAM system may be standalone or combined with other equipment, for
example in the case of an Integrated Navigation System (INS).
A CAM system connects to multiple alert sources (such as the LT-4200 system)
in order to manage and present their alerts on the CAM UI. An alert will thus
be presented in the alert list of both the alert source and the CAM system.
To reduce the number of high-priority audible alerts for one situation that requires attention, if the CAM system has additional knowledge regarding an alert situation, which caused the LT-4200 system to raise an alert, the CAM system may apply responsibility transfer and raising a new alert with, if practicable, a lower priority.
NOTE: NOTE:
Alerts of priority caution are not audible and therefore cannot have their
responsibility transferred.
The LT-4200 will reject the request for responsibility transfer if no HBT
sentence (indicating good status) has been received from the CAM system within
the last 90 s.
The alert text and alert description of an alert is presented on the CAM system. For some alerts, additional information must be presented in order to allow user acknowledgement of the alert. Responsibility transfer is not allowed for such alerts as they can only be acknowledged at the alert source, where the additional information is present.
Time synchronization
The LT-4200 system can supply the UTC time of alert state changes to the CAM
system due to the built-in GNSS receiver.
NOTE:
If the alert state change occurs before the built-in GNSS receiver has obtained the UTC time or in case of GNSS receiver malfunctioning, the LT-4200 system will not supply the UTC time.

Figure 103: Web server Network (DHCP server mode)
A user scenario for configuration the DHCP server mode is when e.g.,
connecting IP-based communication devices: Analogue Phone Adapter, SIP Phones,
or the RedPort Optimizer directly to the LT-4210 Control Unit via the Ethernet
interface. Connecting an Analogue Phone Adapter is further described in
Analogue Phone Adapter on page 50.
If the user changes DHCP server configuration all clients must be rebooted as
changes does not apply automatically

Static
The Static mode must be used when the IP address of the LT-4210 Control Unit
must never change. Typically used, if connecting the LT-4210 Control Unit to
an IP network, where a DHCP server is already available, and where it is
important that the IP address assigned for the LT-4210 Control Unit is never
changed. The web server static setting is illustrated in Figure 104.

DNS
The LT-4200 system contains a caching recursive DNS server used to resolve
names in the local domain. The system also contains two references to external
DNS servers which are used to resolve names in the other domains. For
configuration of the DNS servers see Figure 105.
NOTE:
If the outgoing firewall is enabled the LT-4200 system will only allow domain names present in any firewall rules to be resolved externally. See Outgoing Firewall later in this section.

Outgoing Firewall
Configuring the outgoing firewall allows the LT-4200 system operator to block
all outgoing user network traffic apart from specified exceptions.
When adding rules to the outgoing firewall the user must for each rule provide
a name for the rule and a destination domain name for which network traffic
shall be allowed. e.g. predictwind.com, see Figure 107 below.
Figure 107: Web server Network (Outgoing firewall)
NOTE:
If the LT-4200 system is not setup in DHCP sever mode, LAN clients should have their DNS server address manually configured to the LAN IP address of the LT-4200.

Port forwarding
Port forwarding allows access from the internet through the LT-4200 to
equipment connected to the LT4200 LAN port.
When setting up port forwarding for the LT-4200 system the user needs to
establish port forwarding rules. These user needs to configure the external
port, the local IP address, the port, and the chosen protocol.
To ensure smooth operation after setting up a port forwarding rule, the IP
address(es) of the user equipment that shall be reachable remotely should be
statically assigned. If the LT-4200 is configured as DHCP server make sure to
assign IP addresses outside the DHCP server range.
An example of a configured port forwarding rule can be seen on Figure 109.
There a PC running a web service on tcp port 8080 is connected to the LT-4200
LAN port. The PC is statically assigned the IP address 192.168.1.202. Adding
this port forwarding rule allows access to the Web service.
To verify whether the rule was set up correctly and the web service is
accessible remotely visit the URL https://
Figure 109: Web server Network (Port forwarding)
IMPORTANT: TCP port 443 is reserved by the LT-4200 terminal and may not be
used as external port in port forwarding rules.

Masquerading
It is possible to mask the IP address of any incoming IP connection using the
masquerade option. By ticking on the `Use masquerading’ box the LT-4200 will
replace the source IP address of the incoming IP connection with the IP
address of the LT-4200 terminal LAN port before it is forwarded to the
configured destination. This is shown on Figure 110.
Masquerading may be used if the PC/user equipment being the target of port
forwarding rules has another preferred route to the internet e.g. via a VSAT
solution etc. In that case the PC will if masquerading is not enabled
chose to send its replies via that route instead of via the LT-4200. By using
masquerading the host is forced to send its replies via the LT-4200 as the
LT-4200 IP address is the only visible IP address to the target/host.

Static Route
It is possible to route IP data to other network segments on the LAN by using
the Static Route feature of the LT-4200 system. This allows the user to
configure rules containing the destination IP address and the used gateway.

PPPoE
It is possible to setup the PPPoE service for the LT-4200 system, which makes
it possible for a connected network device to create a point-to-point
connection to the internet. As described in PPPoE on page 57, the rules
regarding outgoing firewall can be enabled for the PPPoE connection.
The PPPoE connection must be configured by setting up the Service name, Access
Concentrator (AC) name, User name and Password. See Figure 112 for
configuration.
Figure 112: Web server Network (PPPoE)
SDF If Secondary Data Flows have been provisioned by the service provider they
will be shown under Available flows provided the LT-4200 has a SIM inserted
and is connected to the Iridium network. It is recommended to use the default
gateway address shown for each SDF but these may be changed to match any
existing network configuration of the installation where the LT-4200 is used.

Telephony The LT-4200 System has a built-in PBX trunk (SIP), which supports internal and external satellite calling. The LT-4200 system supports 3 x Iridium satellite voice channel. The PBX trunk (SIP) can be accessed via Ethernet or RJ45. Up to 8 external SIP devices can be registered in the PBX trunk. All the enabled voice channels can be configured for either or both Voice Line 1, 2 and 3. The web server, configuration Telephony is illustrated in Figure 115.
Figure 115: Web server – Telephony
On Figure 115 it is possible to see the three voice lines, their type (post-
paid) and the respective phone numbers for line 1, 2 and 3.
In the LT-4210 Control Unit, UI display (MENU -> System -> SIP Phones) it is
possible to get an actual status of the number of SIP devices and their
registration status. This is further illustrated and described in External SIP
Phones on page 48.
The following external applications requires a SIP configuration:
· Connection of ships PBX · External SIP Phones · External Analogue Phone
Adapter · SIP Softphones via external Wi-Fi Access Point (WAP)
Incoming calls to any of the three possible configurable Lines will be
signaled to all phones configured for the specific line. If an incoming call
is directed to Line 1, all Line 1 phones will ring, whereas Line 2 and Line 3
phones will not. The LT-4200 system supports call forwarding, such that Line 1
may be set up to forward to Line 2 and vice versa. It is possible to set up
e.g., the CU to both Line 1, Line 2 and Line 3.
