Registering with the network

Establishing a connection with the BGAN network requires the careful orientation of the BGAN

terminal towards the satellite, a process called pointing. Accurate and precise pointing is important,

because a badly-pointed antenna can reduce the data rate achievable over the network. When

pointing is complete, you can register the terminal with the BGAN network.

Use the BGAN LaunchPad pointing wizard to step through the process of pointing the terminal and

registering with the network. In addition, you can use the BGAN terminal's signal strength indicator

lights and, optionally, the terminal's audio buzzer to point the terminal. To do this:

If BGAN LaunchPad is not already open, open BGAN LaunchPad by clicking on the BGAN

LaunchPad icon on your desktop.

The following screen is displayed:

The status bar displays the message In Pointing Mode.

NOTE: The coverage map and "Welcome to BGAN" area are provided to assist

you in pointing, but the location shown may not correspond to your GPS

fix, and does not affect network registration.
