24/34 Getting Started with the HNS 9201
Opening a standard data connection
By default, when you first register with the BGAN network, the terminal opens a standard IP data
connection. The standard connection is an always on, best effort connection and is suitable for most
basic data applications. It is charged by the amount of data sent and received.
To check that the standard connection is open, select the Data tab in BGAN LaunchPad.
The following screen is displayed:
If the standard connection is open, the words Disconnect Standard are displayed below the
connection icon.
NOTE: If the standard connection is closed, the words Connect Standard display below
the connection icon. Click on the icon to open the standard connection.
You can now browse the Internet, send and receive email and use other IP applications. All traffic is
transferred across the standard connection.
NOTE: If more than one user wants to open a data connection, each user must open a
separate session of BGAN LaunchPad. Refer to "BGAN and IP data
connections" for details.
