The PROPERTIES section of the DASHBOARD shows the following information:
• Airtime provider. The name of your Airtime Provider.
• GPS position. The GPS position of your TracPhone FB150 system.
Note
• Status. The status of the TracPhone FB150 system.
The status can be one of the following:
• Scanning. The terminal has instructed the antenna to scan for a BGAN signal.
(The antenna status will show "Sky scan")
• Searching. The antenna has found a BGAN signal and the terminal is
searching for a BGAN network in order to perform a registration. (The
antenna status will show "Tracking")
• Registering. The terminal is attempting to register with the Satellite Access
Station (SAS).
• Ready. The terminal has registered and attached to the SAS and is ready to
accept a service request (a call or a data session).
• Data active. The terminal has established a call or a data session through the
BGAN network.
• No GPS fix. The GPS receiver has not yet achieved position fix. It may take
some time to achieve GPS fix depending on a number of conditions. First, the
antenna should have an unblocked view to as much of the sky as possible.
The terminal will not be able to register with the SAS without a GPS fix.
• Not registered. The terminal has not been able to register with the BGAN
network.
• Satellite selection. The satellite selected for logon. For further information, see
Selecting the preferred BGAN satellite on page 89.
• Current satellite. The satellite to which the system is currently logged on.
• Unit serial number. The serial number of the terminal.
• Software version. The version of the software embedded in the terminal.
• Local IP address. The local IP address of the terminal. This is the IP address used
to access the terminal from a device connected to the terminal.
• IMEI number. The IMEI number (International Mobile Equipment Identity) of
the terminal. This is a unique number that identifies your terminal.
• Antenna status. The status of the antenna.
The antenna status can be:
• Sky scan. The antenna is searching for the BGAN signal.
• Tracking. The antenna has found and locked to the BGAN signal. The antenna
is now tracking the BGAN signal.
• No antenna. No known antenna is detected by the terminal.
In some cases, the BGAN network does not allow the position to be
displayed to the user. If this is the case, the display may just show GPS
acquired. This means that the GPS position is received, but not shown.
This also applies if the TracPhone is not yet registered on the BGAN
network, but the GPS position is received.
