G21055/4 7 MBR 179 Instruction Manual MBR 179 Topics System description, page 8 System diagram, page 9 Scope of supply, page 10 Restrictions in guarantee, page 10 Radio frequency license, page 11 FCC compliance statement, page 11 Health and safety, page 11 Network security, page 12 Support information, page 12 System description The MBR 179 is a Maritime Broadband Radio (MBR). It is a part of the Maritime Broadband Radio (MBR) product family of real-time steerable phased array digital radio units. It is developed for use in maritime applications where reliable communication and data transfer are crucial for ef!cient and safe operations. The MBR 179 is a radio type suitable for all types of vessels requiring long-range communication. The MBR 179 is an Ethernet based radio that requires no extra infrastructure to operate. It operates on OSI layer 2 as a network bridge transporting IP packets over the air interface connecting computers, sensors and systems together. The radio has a TDMA access protocol with user con!gurable time slot allocation. The MBR 179 supports Internet Protocol version 4. A radio network is a network of several MBR Units communicating together. The radio network operates as a wireless radio mobile ad hoc network (MANET) which can be used as a stand-alone network or as an extension of your existing radio network, or !xed 8 G21055/4 MBR 179 networks. The radio network is de!ned by network name, network id and encryption key. The MBR 179 can be used together with all other MBR Units in the product family. A radio site is one or several radio units connected together by a local Ethernet connection at the same location. The bene!ts of a radio site with several radio units is an increased coverage area or redundancy with radios covering the same area. Data links to remote MBR units will seamlessly be handed over from one Radio Unit to another Radio Unit on the same radio site. All antennas, radio transceivers and signal processing are contained in the radio unit. The interface to the radio unit is power and Ethernet. The MBR 179 can be powered from a 24 48 V DC power source or from an MBR Power Supply unit with AC input. The MBR Power Supply can be purchased from Kongsberg Seatex AS. The MBR 179 is set up via a web interface which is available on each radio unit. It can also be set up from an API (application programming interface).

G21055/4 11 MBR 179 Instruction Manual Network security If a MBR 179 system is connected to a local area network, data security is important. Equipment manufactured by Kongsberg Seatex is frequently connected to the vessel's local area network (LAN). When you connect a computer to a local area network you will always expose the data on that computer. All other computers connected to the same network may be able to access your data. Several threats may immediately occur:

Remote computers can read the data. Remote computers can change the data. Remote computers can change the behavior of the computer, for example by installing unwanted software. Usually, two parameters are used to de!ne the threat level:

1 2 The likelihood that any remote computer will do any of the above. The damage done if a remote computer succeeds doing this. Kongsberg Seatex has no information regarding the complete system installation on any vessel. Systems provided by Kongsberg Seatex are regarded as stand-alone of!ine systems. They are stand-alone even though they may be connected to a network for sensor interfaces and/or data distribution. Note No network safety applications are installed on Kongsberg Seatex computers. The computers are therefore not protected against viruses, malware or unintentional access by external users. Securing the MBR 179 system itself has no meaning unless there is a policy in place that secures all computers in the network. This policy must include physical access by trained and trusted users. The customer/end user of the MBR 179 system will always be in charge of de!ning and implementing a security, policy and providing the relevant network security applications. Note Kongsberg Seatex will not accept any responsibility for errors and/or damages caused by unauthorized use of or access to the MBR 179.
