Making an IP Data Connection

Pre-requisites
Before you can open an IP data connection, ensure that you have done the following:
Installed a provisioned SIM card, supplied by your Service Provider. The SIM card contains
•
Access Control Point (APN) information, therefore Inmarsat recommends that you do not
change the APN after installing the SIM card.
• Connected your computer to the BGAN terminal, using one of the terminal's interfaces.
Pointed the terminal to obtain the maximum possible signal strength.
•
Registered with the BGAN network
You can make an IP data connection using any of these interfaces:
• USB.
• LAN – in Multi user mode or Single user mode. Refer to "Connecting over LAN"` on page 9.
• Wireless LAN.
• Bluetooth.

Opening a standard data connection
By default, when you first register with the BGAN network, the terminal opens a standard IP data
connection. The standard connection is an always-on, best effort connection and is suitable for
most basic data applications. It is charged by the amount of data sent and received.
