    RF-7800B OPERATION Monitor the Web interface PROPERTIES page GPS Position information to determine when a GPS Fix is obtained. Typically, a GPS 3D fix can be successfully attained in less than 90 seconds. Refer to Paragraph 3.7.1. Automatic tracking keeps the antenna pointed towards the satellite once the vehicle starts moving. During short outages (while driving under a bridge, for example), the antenna will remain in the same position and will pick up the satellite signal immediately upon exiting the blockage.

  • Page 51: Isdn Voice Telephony Services

    RF-7800B OPERATION For the RF-7800B-VU104, traveling from one spot beam to another, GPS information will be used to allow a seamless spot beam transition, without the end user even knowing. Finally, there are Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Subscriber Identification Module (USIM) cards known as “Discreet SIM cards”, which do not provide GPS location information of the BGAN terminal to the BGAN Network.

Up to 11 computers can be directly connected to the BGAN Terminal (when more than one computer is connected, a network hub/switch will be required).

  • Page 56: Relay Mode

    RF-7800B CONFIGURATION The RF-7800B BGAN Terminals are configured for NAT Mode by default. The ability to Restore to Factory Defaults is provided in the BGAN Terminal's Web Interface, and will place the terminal back to all settings appropriate for NAT Mode. The following is a sample configuration, modified by the Web Interface, to create BGAN network connections by a computer when using the default NAT Mode: Navigate to the Registration, GPS, Properties page of the Web Interface.
  • Page 57 RF-7800B CONFIGURATION In Relay Mode, when the BGAN Terminal does not have an active BGAN network connection, the BGAN Terminals DHCP Server will assign a private IP address from its DHCP Server Address range configured via the web interface. When the BGAN Terminal has an active BGAN Network connection, the DHCP Server will reassign the public IP address associated with the active network connection to the Router, and data will be automatically routed between the Local Area Network (LAN) and the BGAN network though the BGAN Terminal.

  • Page 58: Bridge Mode
