- Page 2 3. Verify that BGAN SIM card is activated correctly including data plan. HOW TO INSTALL AND PRE-ORIENTATE THE BGAN ANTENNA The BGAN system operates with a directional antenna which means that the orientation of the antenna is crucial for its opera- tion and good coverage.
- Page 3 12. In the lower part of the STATUS box (indicated as Pointing Info as shown below) you can find the recommended orienta- tion and inclination of the BGAN antenna. Now screw on the support boom to the mast according to this orientation and incli- ne the BGAN antenna as indicated.

- Page 6 There are two different points to test: A. Moxa NPORT 5110 - Orbit data logger To test the communication with the data logger through a Moxa, previously configured for working with a BGAN, the following steps must be carried out: 1.
- Page 7 BGAN SATELLITE | INSTALLATION & ANTENNA ORIENTATION 3. Open a web browser and type the IP address of Moxa (192.168.128.101). With this we should see the Moxa configuration page. * In other case, we should check the Moxa configuration. To check it, use the software ‘NPort Administrator’ This software must be ALWAYS opened as an administrator.
