QUICK REFERENCE This section serves as a reference guide, identifying the key operational aspects of using the Regional BGAN system, the Controls and Indicators on the Satellite IP Modem and the functions of the Launch Pad software. GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM OPERATION Your Satellite IP Modem contains an integrated Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver that is used to provide location information to the Regional BGAN system. GPS location information is required for system access and the reception of a new GPS location is attempted automatically every time the Satellite IP Modem is powered on. For optimum GPS signal reception, make sure the Satellite IP Modem is positioned in a roughly horizontal placement with the lid closed. Since GPS receivers must “see” a large part of the sky without obstructions from buildings, mountains or trees, it may be necessary to take your Satellite IP Modem out to a clear space to obtain a new GPS location. It may be possible to obtain a new GPS location in a less favourable circumstance, but the time to completion may be longer. Once updated, the Satellite IP Modem remembers your location so the unit can be relocated to a more convenient working area, such as inside a building by a window facing toward the satellite. Once you have established a session on the Regional BGAN system you will not need another GPS location while you remain connected in the “Always On” condition. This is convenient if you intend to operate from one location for an extended period of time since there is no need to move the Satellite IP Modem to refresh the GPS receiver. Also, your stored GPS location remains good for a period of time (consult with your service provider for this information) even if you power down and move a short distance between sessions. When you believe this is the case, simply skip the GPS location step and complete the Regional BGAN satellite pointing operation prior to going directly onto the network. Be sure to carefully point your unit after every time it is moved. STORED GPS LOCATION The most recent GPS location is stored in the Satellite IP Modem even when powered down. Upon power up, if this stored GPS location is available the display indicates “Using Stored Location.” Even so, the Satellite IP Modem will attempt to update this GPS location since the Regional BGAN system will only allow access if your GPS location is not too old. If the Satellite IP Modem is able to update the GPS location, the status changes from “Stored” to “Valid.” GPS location is shown as “Invalid” only under special circumstances when the stored information has been erased. In any case, you may wish to attempt network access to see if service will be granted. Regional BGAN Satellite IP Modem User Manual 13
ANTENNA POINTING Establishing a new connection requires the careful orientation of the Satellite IP Modem towards the Regional BGAN Satellite. The more precise this alignment, the faster your data will be able to travel over the network. To ensure precise alignment, the pointing operation is divided into a rough pointing operation followed by a fine pointing operation. To assist in rough Satellite IP Modem orientation, the stored GPS location is used to obtain your location relative to the satellite. Using this geographic location data, direction and elevation angle information is supplied to you on your computer’s display. You can use this information in conjunction with the Satellite IP Modem’s compass and elevation angle scale to obtain an initial orientation towards the satellite. Once you have done this, station yourself with your Satellite IP Modem’s “lid” (the antenna) opened away from you (like the display screen of a laptop computer) and look out and over it to ensure that nothing but open sky is between the Modem’s lid and the Regional BGAN Satellite. If the view is blocked by trees, mountains, buildings or similar objects then you must relocate the Satellite IP Modem. This manipulation is called the Rough Pointing procedure. Do not stand in front of the Antenna The Satellite IP Modem emits radio frequency energy when in the transmit mode. To avoid injury, do not place head or other body parts in front of the antenna when system is operational. Once you have completed rough pointing, the connection can be “tuned” using the fine pointing procedure. The tuning consists of small changes in direction (rotation of the modem) and small changes in elevation angle (small up and down movement of the modem’s lid). Signal meters are located on the modem and computer display; you can use either one to maximize your signal strength. Finding the maximum for both the direction and elevation angle settings ensures the best performance from your modem. 14 Regional BGAN Satellite IP Modem User Manual

SELECT BUTTON The Select Button controls the selection of the interface between your computer and the Satellite IP Modem. All Operational Modes: Pressing and holding this button down for two seconds will display the current selected interface and battery state. Pressing this button again changes from the active interface to the next one, cycling through Universal Serial Bus (USB), Ethernet, and Bluetooth until you have made the desired selection (indicated by the illumination of the selected interface Light). Once you have selected the new interface, the Modem will shut itself off after approximately three seconds. If AC Mains is connected to the Modem, it will restart itself. If the Modem is under battery power, you will need to restart the modem by pressing the Power Button INTERFACE LIGHTS The USB, Ethernet, and Bluetooth Lights indicate the state of the currently-active interface. Normal Operational Mode: Only the Light of the selected, active interface is lit. If the Interface Light is green, the Satellite IP Modem is properly connected to the Regional BGAN network. If the Interface Light is amber, the appropriate interface has been selected but a connection to the network has not yet been established. If the Interface Light is flashing red, there is a fault or error in the Satellite IP Modem. Pointing Mode: In this mode, all Interface Lights are lit and used as a bar graph to indicate relative signal strength. The Lights turn from red (poor signal strength) to amber (better signal strength) to green (best signal strength) as the antenna is manipulated to get the optimum signal. BATTERY LIGHT The Battery Light is off when the Satellite IP Modem is powered down. Normal Operational Mode: If the Battery Light is flashing amber, the Satellite IP Modem is powered on and not connected to AC mains power. If the Light is flashing green, the Modem is connected to AC mains power and the battery is charging. If the Light is green, the Modem is connected to AC mains power and the battery is fully charged. If the Light is flashing red, the battery is low and is not charging. Pointing Mode: In this mode, the Battery Light is lit along with the interface lights to be used as a bar graph to indicate relative signal strength. The Light turns from red 16 Regional BGAN Satellite IP Modem User Manual
(poor signal strength) to amber (better signal strength) to green (best signal strength) as the antenna is manipulated to get the optimum signal. ; Note When the Satellite IP Modem is on battery power (no AC Mains) the Power, Interface, and Battery Lights will flash to conserve power. SATELLITE IP MODEM ANTENNA PROTRACTOR When you are positioning the antenna during the Antenna Pointing process, the protractor provides the current angle of the antenna so that you can adjust it to the Antenna Angle specified on the pointing screen.

GLOSSARY APN: Access Point Name. APNs can be assigned to each external network interface to allow communications among multiple Internet Service Providers (ISPs). If use of multiple ISPs is required in your network, on the Satellite IP Modem Control Pad Network Settings screen you can enable APN and enter the value supplied by your Service Provider. Bluetooth: Bluetooth is a wireless technology interface method aimed at simplifying the communications among devices such as computers, modems, and mobile phones. It is one of the three communications interfaces supported by the Satellite IP Modem. Bluetooth Device Name: A text label given to Bluetooth-based devices. On the Satellite IP Modem Control Pad Bluetooth screen, the default name of the Modem is “Regional BGAN Satellite IP Modem.” You can click on and select the current name field, enter a new name, then select the Change Name button to apply the new name. Bluetooth Passkey: A kind of Personal Identification Number given to a Bluetooth-based device is used to prevent unauthorised Bluetooth devices from bonding with it. On the Satellite IP Modem Control Pad Bluetooth Passkey screen, the default passkey is “blue.” To increase security, you should change this passkey to a sequence of letters and numbers of your choosing up to a maximum of 10 characters. For another device to bond to the Modem with a Bluetooth Passkey, that passkey must be entered on the other device. Bonding: In the Bluetooth interface, this term (sometimes referred to as “pairing”) refers to the ability of Bluetooth-based devices to establish a connection with each other. On the Satellite IP Modem Control Pad Bluetooth screen, by enabling or disabling bonding, you can determine whether other Bluetooth devices can or cannot bond with the Modem. If bonding is enabled, the other device must have the Modem’s Bluetooth Passkey. Compass: When going through the antenna Pointing Process, you reference the compass on the Satellite IP Modem to get the correct direction needed for the antenna. Control Pad: The Satellite IP Modem Control Pad program leads you to a series of menus used for Modem administration tasks, such as checking the current Modem status or setting network parameters. Regional BGAN Satellite IP Modem User Manual 43
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP is a communications protocol that lets network administrators manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organization's network. Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP address. You must make sure that the Windows network settings on your PC are set to allow the network to choose IP settings automatically. Discoverability: In the Bluetooth interface, this term refers to the ability of Bluetooth-based devices to “find” each other when they are in the same proximity. On the Satellite IP Modem Control Pad Bluetooth screen, by enabling or disabling discoverability, you can determine whether the Satellite IP Modem is discoverable or not discoverable by other devices using Bluetooth. DNS: Domain Name Service, a static, hierarchical name service for TCP/IP hosts. The network administrator configures the DNS with a list of host names and IP addresses, allowing users of workstations configured to query the DNS to specify remote systems by host names rather than IP addresses. On the Satellite IP Modem Control Pad Network Settings screen, a primary and possibly a secondary DNS address supplied by your Service Provider must be assigned. Ethernet: Ethernet is a local area networking method used widely throughout the computer industry. It is one of the three communications interfaces supported by the Satellite IP Modem. Fault Code: A number which uniquely references an error in a hardware or software system. In the Satellite IP Modem, if there is a fault detected, the fault code and a description are displayed at the bottom of the Modem Control Pad Home and Status screens. GPS: Global Positioning System. When the GPS receiver in the Satellite IP Modem gets a bearing on a GPS satellite, the receiver computes and stores the Modem’s location on earth. That location is used in the Pointing Process to obtain your location relative to the Regional BGAN Satellite. Inmarsat Regional BGAN Satellite IP Modem: Referenced throughout this document as the Satellite IP Modem, this device implements and manages Regional BGAN satellite communications between your computer and Service Provider’s network via one of the three supported interface methods – USB, Ethernet, or Bluetooth. Interface Lights: The interface lights on the Satellite IP Modem panel – USB, Ethernet, and Bluetooth – 1) indicate the state of the currently-active interface during Normal Operational Mode, or 2) serve as a bar graph to indicate relative signal strength during Pointing Mode. 44 Regional BGAN Satellite IP Modem User Manual
Launch Pad: The Satellite IP Modem Launch Pad, displayed on your computer, is a list of options that allow you to set up or modify Modem network and communications parameters, monitor Modem system performance, and upgrade Modem software. Normal Operational Mode: In this mode, the Satellite IP Modem is connected to your network, allowing you to perform standard system activities such as Internet browsing. The other mode of Modem operation is Pointing Mode. Pointing Mode: In this mode, using the Satellite IP Modem Protractor and Compass, and referencing the Pointing Screen for indications of signal strength, you manipulate the Modem antenna to get the optimum GPS location and Inmarsat Regional BGAN Satellite signal strength for your network connection. Pointing is required during Modem setup or if the Modem has been moved from its previous location. Once you have obtained the best antenna position, you can enter Normal Operational Mode and be ready to perform standard activities. Protractor: An instrument that measures angles, the Satellite IP Modem protractor provides the current angle of the antenna so that you can adjust it to the antenna angle specified on the Pointing Screen. QuickStart Wizard: Displayed on your computer, the Satellite IP Modem QuickStart Wizard is a programme that guides you through the Modem installation and setup procedures, including interface selection and antenna pointing. SIM: Subscriber Identification Module. Your Service Provider issues you a SIM, containing your SIM Personal Identification Number (PIN) and other security-related information. You insert the SIM into the Satellite IP Modem SIM holder as part of Modem hardware setup. If you configure the Modem to enable SIM PIN security, each time you invoke the Modem Control Pad after turning on the Modem, PIN authorisation is required in order to use the system. SIM PIN: A Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) Personal Identification Number (PIN) may be supplied by your Service Provider. If SIM PIN entry is enabled on the Satellite IP Modem Control Pad Security Management screen, a prompt requests you to enter the SIM PIN each time you run the Control Pad. This helps prevent unauthorised use of your SIM. Regional BGAN Satellite IP Modem User Manual 45
Static IP Address: A static Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is assigned to a computer by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to be its permanent address on the Internet. Computers use IP addresses to locate and talk to each other on the Internet. If Static IP addressing is enabled on the Satellite IP Modem Control Pad Network Settings screen, you must enter an IP address supplied by your Service Provider in the Static Public Network IP Address field that follows. USB: The Universal Serial Bus interface is a standard protocol for many computer peripheral devices, including modems, scanners, digital cameras, printers, and others. It is one of the three communications interfaces supported by the Satellite IP Modem. 46 Regional BGAN Satellite IP Modem User Manual
