Installing the
Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN)
Fixed Mount Kit
Product description – BGAN fixed mount kit
Although the BGAN satellite modem terminal is designed for portable use, the BGAN Fixed Mount Kit
(HNS part number 3004066-001) allows you to permanently mount the terminal if this option is desired.
The fixed mount kit (Figure 1) consists primarily of a tubular pole mount assembly with mounting brackets
on each end. The base bracket attaches to the roof or other structure, and the terminal bracket attaches to
the BGAN terminal. Power and network cables are also included.
This document describes how to install the BGAN Fixed Mount Kit. It references the BGAN Terminal
User Guide, HNS 3004077-0001, which is provided in PDF format with the terminal on a compact disc
(CD).

Step A. Inspecting the parts

Make sure you have all parts listed on the shipment box before beginning the installation; you should have
following parts:
1. Fixed Mount assembly
2. Tamper-proof hardware
3. Bits and tool to install tamper-proof hardware
4. 30 m Extension Power Cable
5. Grounding Cable
6. 2-30 m Ethernet/ISDN Cable
7. Level indicator
8. Compass
9. This instruction sheet, HNS 3004090-0001
The fasteners for securing the base bracket to the structure are not provided as part of the mounting kit.

Step B. Using tamper-proof fasteners

You can use the standard fastener hardware provided on the pole
brackets or, for improved security of the installation, you can
replace the standard fasteners with the provided tamper proof
fasteners (Table 1).
To replace the standard fasteners with the tamper-proof fasteners
(Table 1) refer to Figure 2 for the terminal bracket and Figure 3
for the base bracket.

  • Page 2 Figure 2 - Base bracket tamper-proof fasteners Step C. Determining where to install the terminal In order for your terminal to work correctly, it must be installed in a location that provides a clear, unobstructed, line of sight between the terminal and the satellite. Any objects such as building structures or trees may degrade the quality of the satellite to terminal connection.
  • Page 3 G-28069 C 11/16/05 Figure 4 - Inmarsat BGAN coverage map To determine the direction from your location to the satellite, i.e., directional aiming, follow the steps 1-4 (below). 1. Refer to the Inmarsat BGAN coverage map at Figure 4. 2. Find your geographical location on the map. In our example, the mount installer is located in Miami, Florida, USA.
  • Page 4 Step D. Mounting the pole base bracket You may install the fixed mount on any structurally sound surface; either on a horizontal, or vertical, or a sloped surface, such as a roof or wall. The pole is shipped attached to the base bracket (Figure 5). Mount the base bracket of this assembly to the structure with the appropriate hardware (not included).
  • Page 5 Step G. Connecting to a network The fixed mount kit includes two 30-m RJ-45 cables for Ethernet or integrated services digital network (ISDN) connectivity. You can also use a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, depending on the distance from the computer and potential interference. For details, see the BGAN Terminal User Guide. Step H.
  • Page 6 Figure 9 - Adjusting azimuth Step J. Automode If you mount the terminal where access may be difficult (for example, mounted high on a wall), you may want the terminal to recover automatically when power is restored after a power outage. To permit this, set the following automatic modes after you have installed and pointed the terminal.
