General Setup
Release 5.9.5.0 on includes a General Setup page with the following fields:
•
Connection: this field controls the satellites the UT will try to connect to. With
the default “Automatic” selection it will search for all sate llites.
If an individual satellite is selected the UT will only search for and use the
selected satellite. This is useful in areas where the antenna can see two
satellites at the same time, e.g. EMEA and MEAS from Europe and West Africa
– see Figure 41 on page 59. During site switches, the satellite signal is turned
off briefly and the UT may try to register on the other satellite it can see. The
signal will be weaker and will degrade service, so it is advisable to configure
the UT to only use a single satellite. The visible satellites are shown on the
status bar of the Home page.
•
Streaming Inactivity Timer. In 9502B (BGAN Services) mode, a streaming
inactivity timer field is also displayed. By enabling this parameter, the user can
turn on a timer for inactivity on streaming contexts. The timer is in either
seconds or minutes and will tear down a streaming context after X seconds or
minutes of inactivity.
