Terminal Status Page Since the Hughes 9202 terminal is a portable device, you must first obtain a GPS fix and point the terminal to the satellite before setting up a data connection with the network. The Terminal Status page gives you all the information you need to point and register with the network. Once you have a GPS fix and are pointed to the satellite as best you can, click on the Register with the Network button to start the registration process.
Connecting the terminal to the computer You can connect your computer to the 9202 with one or more of the following interfaces Ethernet WLAN Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) There is no need to check the active interface. All interfaces can be used simultaneously to accommodate multiple users. During initial setup, the terminal can only be configured using an Ethernet connection.
WLAN Power: The default is off, which disables the WLAN feature. SSID (network name): The default is BGAN, but you can change it to whatever you want. Channel Number: This controls the radio channel number (1 through 11) used by the access point. To meet FCC regulations, channels 12 to 14 are not supported. As you are configuring the WLAN, you can enable the Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP), MAC address filtering and no broadcast SSID features for added security.
When WLAN is enabled, unauthorized users may be able to access your BGAN service. If WEP is enabled, you must provide other WLAN users with the WEP key in order for them to connect to the terminal. You can go to the Manage Connections page to see what computers are actually using the BGAN service. Connecting by ISDN Connect an ISDN cable to your computer‘s or phone‘s ISDN port, and insert the other end of the connector into the Terminal‘s ISDN port.

Username (UN)/Password (PW): Some Service Providers require a username and password to be used when setting up a connection.
With DA, if the context is ever deactivated, it will be reactivated when more data is sent. Static IP Automatic Contexts: You can configure your own range of static IP addresses and QoS‘s to use with a static automatic context. To turn on a particular range of static addresses, select ―On‖ from the drop down list and choose a range of addresses, low and high to use (e.g. 192.168.128.200 to 192.168.128.202) or you can leave the defaults (192.168.128.200 to 192.168.128.209).
If you want to setup additional ranges of addresses, please follow the same instructions as above. You cannot overlap the IP address ranges. If you do, an error will pop-up telling you that you have an overlap region. Check all of the ranges for overlaps and try again. When you are finished, click on ―Apply‖ and you should see a message saying ―Operation Successful‖. DHCP Automatic Contexts: This option allows you to set up the UT for dynamic standard ACA.
To activate this feature, select ―On‖ from the drop down list under DHCP Automatic Context section, select the DHCP range of addresses to use if you don‘t want to use the default (.101 .199), select the APN that you want to use and click on ―Apply‖. To see if the context has been setup properly, click on the ―Data tab>Manage Connections Page and this will show you all contexts that have been setup (active or inactive). See screen shot below.

SMS You can manage SMS text messages from the SMS pages which provide a similar function to LaunchPad. You must have a valid Service Center number configured in order to send messages – see the SMS Settings Page. Send/Receive – this page allows you to view your Inbox box messages and Compose a new message. If there are more than 10 messages, you can view the older ones by changing the page number. You can also reply to received messages or forward them to another number.
The Saved Drafts page allows you to view previously saved messages. After editing a message you can resave (Save) or send the message (Send). You can also compose a message from this page. On the SMS Settings page you can configure the default settings for messages. You must have a valid Service Center number configured in order to send messages. The default Service Center number is +87077200179. Using the Hughes 9 Revision 0.
Settings page General Setup This page allows the user to configure various parameters of the UT. A description of each item on this page follows: Terminal Startup – The default configuration for the 9202 terminal has Bypass Antenna pointing and Always power on checked and grayed out due to the tracking antenna. Connection – The default configuration is always set to Automatic.
This change does not take effect until the UT is reset. When set to Automatic, the UT will select the satellite based on the unit‘s GPS position. When set to a specific satellite, it will attempt to use that satellite only. Be careful to select the correct satellite for your position. Streaming – By enabling this parameter, the user can turn on a timer for inactivity for a streaming QoS that has been set up.
IP Address/DHCP Settings Terminal Local IP Address: This page allows the user to change the local IP address of the terminal from the default 192.168.128.100 IP address. All four octets are available to change. Once the local IP address is changed on this page and applied, the IP address ranges for the DHCP server, the Manage Context page and ACA page will also be changed automatically. Updates to this field will not take effect until the UT is rebooted.
The longer the Idle-mode DHCP lease time, the longer it will take the Network/UT to update the TE with the correct DNS servers for web browsing after establishing a data context. Lease Time when connected: The Connected-mode DHCP Lease Time refers to the DHCP lease time when the UT is connected to the network. Most users will have no need to change this parameter. Wireless LAN The Wireless LAN settings page allows the user to enable, disable, and configure the Wireless LAN functionality of the terminal.
If you have not previously used the terminal‘s WLAN interface, it has to first be enabled from this page using a computer connected to the terminal using an Ethernet connection. Once WLAN is enabled/configured, TEs can connect to the terminal wirelessly. Fields on this page include: Enable Wireless LAN Interface: Turns the Wireless LAN interface on/off. The default is off (unchecked). Network Name (SSID): The default is ―BGAN‖, but you can change it to whatever you want.
To add the detected MAC address, click on the address to highlight it and then click Add. It will now show up in the ―Allowed MAC Address‖ field. Using the Hughes 9 Revision 0.
Telephony You can establish ISDN data communication by connecting your ISDN equipment directly to the BGAN Terminal‘s ISDN port with an ISDN cable (which is the same as the Ethernet cable). The Telephony page allows you to activate 40V power sourcing on the ISDN interface, and configure Device MSN Settings. General ISDN Settings: Enable ISDN Power Sourcing: To turn on the ISDN power sourcing, click the check box in the upper left-hand corner that says ―Enable ISDN Power Sourcing‖ and then click on ―Apply‖.
There is also an option under the drop down arrow to set the trigger to use the MSN rather than the bearer. If there is a problem using the bearer capability setting, this field can be changed to use the MSN number instead. Device MSN Settings - Voice/FAX Devices Standard Voice: By default, MSN 1 is used for standard voice (speech). To receive incoming calls, you must program the same MSN into your ISDN handset connected to the ISDN port. Premium Voice/Fax (3.1 kHz Audio): By default, MSN 2 is used for 3.
entered any time the SIM card is changed. This setting is similar to your GSM phone‘s security code. Default password is 12345. Administration Password – this configuration allows the user to prevent terminal settings from being changed once the terminal is configured properly. This password will have to be entered before any settings can be changed. 34 Using the Hughes 9 Revision 0.
Usage Page This web page provides an estimate of the amount of Packet Switched data that was sent and received, along with time spent on streaming connections and CS calls. The data is broken up into two types: Trip Usage Statistics: The trip counter is similar to the trip counter on your vehicle. It can be zeroed out at anytime by the user and it will track the statistics until the user resets it. Lifetime Usage Statistics: The Lifetime counter is similar to the odometer on your vehicle.
Support Page This web page allows you to display technical and support information about the terminal and retrieve logs. 36 Using the Hughes 9 Revision 0.

Software Version: This displays the current version of software that is running on the UT. SIM Information IMSI: This displays the IMSI number of the SIM card in the UT.
Hughes highly recommends that the user exhaust all possible troubleshooting procedures before using this feature Reboot terminal: Clicking this button reboots the terminal so that configuration changes can be saved into the configuration file or can be used when just a simple reboot of the terminal is required. 38 Using the Hughes 9 Revision 0.
Problem Possible Cause Possible Solution Terminal will not turn on Power switch not on Check the power switch is in the ON position and LED is on No ignition sense Check positive voltage is applied to the ignition sense pin of the power connector Remove fuse and check.
Problem Possible Cause Possible Solution Terminal will not accept incoming ISDN calls The MSN programmed into the ISDN device does not match the MSN programmed into the terminal Ensure the appropriate MSN is programmed into the ISDN device, see User Guide Ensure the appropriate MSN is programmed into the terminal, see ISDN Section of User Guide Terminal will not make outgoing ISDN calls ISDN power sourcing is turned off Terminal is not Registered with the Network.
Problem Possible Cause Possible Solution ISDN device does not operate correctly The ISDN device is trying to draw too much power from the satellite terminal‘s ISDN interface Only connect an ISDN device that draws less than 70mA of current at 40V (equivalent power 2.8W) The device you are connecting is not an ISDN device. It might be an Ethernet device that you are accidentally connecting to the ISDN port.
GPS The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses 24 orbital satellites to determine the position of the Terminal anywhere on the globe. Obtaining a GPS Fix In normal operation, a GPS receiver, such as that built in to the Tracking Antenna, needs to be able to receive signals from at least four satellites so that it can then calculate a latitude, a longitude and an altitude – this position fix is referred to as a 3dimensional or 3-D fix.
GPS and BGAN Registration BGAN uses the accurate position and timing information obtained from GPS to help ensure efficient registration of a BGAN Terminal with the BGAN network. ISDN The Satellite Terminal provides an ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) interface to connect devices for Circuit Switched voice and data services. It is a Basic Rate (also known as 2B+D) interface and uses the Euro ISDN protocol.
1. After registration with the network, the user activates a PDP Context using an application on the computer or Terminal, and requests sufficient radio resources (that is, power and bandwidth) to support the context activation procedure. 2. Once the resources are allocated, the Terminal sends the Activate PDP Context request to the Core Network.
