Properties
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 system.
In some cases, the BGAN network does not allow the position to
Note
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.
• Status. The status of the TracPhone 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 connected 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 of all, 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 161.
