Installation Instructions
Make sure you have all parts listed in the shipment box before
beginning the installation; you should have the following parts:
1. Hughes 9502 IDU
2. Flat panel ODU
3. 10m RF coaxial cable terminating in N(M) connections at both
ends
4. An N to TNC adapter is included in the cable bag.
1. Basic Fix Mount Kit (P/N 3004066-0002)
2. Azimuth elevation bracket (P/N 1022994-0022)
3. IDU Strap (P/N 3500617-0001)
In order for your terminal to work correctly, the antenna or ODU
must be installed in a location that provides a clear, unobstructed,
line of sight to the satellite. Any objects such as building
structures or trees may degrade the quality of the satellite signal.
To determine where to install the ODU, you need to determine that
you have both a clear unobstructed line of sight to the satellite and
that your fixed mount is aimed in the approximate direction to the
satellite.
To determine the direction from your location to the satellite
follow the steps below:
1. Determine the latitude and longitude of the site and enter
them into the Location Spreadsheet that is available on the
Hughes BGAN support page: http://www.bgan.hughes.com.
This will give you the compass direction and the elevation
angle to point the ODU. Alternatively, it can be done by
powering up the UT, allowing it to get a GPS fix and then
checking the pointing information on the Web UI Home page.
2. Unbox the Hughes 9502 and remove the ODU and cable
assembly.
