Making an IP Data Connection

Pre-requisites
Before you can open an IP data connection, ensure that you have done the following:
•
Installed a provisioned SIM card, supplied by your Service Provider. The SIM card contains
Access Control Point (APN) information, therefore Inmarsat recommends that you do not
change the APN after installing the SIM card.
•
Connected your computer to the BGAN terminal, using one of the terminal's interfaces.
•
Pointed the terminal to obtain the maximum possible signal strength.
•
Registered with the BGAN network
You can make an IP data connection using any of these interfaces:
•
Ethernet
•
USB
•
WLAN
NOTE: If the terminal is in automatic connection mode, the first user to connect is
automatically assigned a data connection. All other users must use BGAN
LaunchPad to open their own data connection.
