16 Registering with the BGAN Network
Establishing a connection with the BGAN network requires the careful
orientation of the SABRE
called antenna pointing.
To perform antenna pointing, you will need a compass and the following
information from the Web Console:
y
Pointing Angle (Azimuth and Elevation)
y
Signal stength indicator bar
With the SABRE™ I Web Console launched, follow these steps to register with
the network:
1. Select the satellite that you want the SABRE
2. Rotate the terminal left or right until it points in the correct horizontal
direction as indicated in the Azimuth reading with the aid of a compass.
3. Tilt the terminal slowly up or down until it points in the correct vertical
direction as indicated in the Elevation reading.
4. With the aid of the Signal indicator bar on the Web Console, fine tune the
pointing direction to obtain the maximum signal strength.
