2.6.3 Pointing
Before pointing the antenna you can use the coverage map below to find your
approximate location in relation to the satellites. Pointing is part of the Installation
procedure described in the next section.
The Inmarsat satellites are positioned above the equator, at the center of each
"footprint".

PIN code: Normally you are not required to enter a PIN code for the BGAN
service, because the SIM PIN is either disabled or set up for automatic
validation. However, if the PIN is enabled and not set up for auto validation,
you have to enter the PIN before you can access the BGAN network. For
details, see To enter the SIM PIN in the web interface on page 4-48.
APN: By default, the terminal is set up to use the APN from the SIM card.
However, if the SIM card requires a user defined APN, the installation process
will fail, because the APN is not defined. If this is the case, use the web
interface to enter the APN and restart the installation. For details, see To
change the APN for a connection package on page 4-6 and To restart the
installation process (BGAN) on page 4-12.
