The Satellite Terminal is 27.5 cm x 34.5 cm x 5.0 cm. Its weight is 2.8 kg (including the battery).
The small size and weight allows you to easily move it from site to site, and it can be connected
at a new site in minutes.

EFAULTS
The Satellite Terminal includes four interfaces that can connect to your computer.
Ethernet
USB
ISDN (for voice and data)
WLAN (IEEE 802.11b)
By default the ISDN, USB and Ethernet interfaces are active when the unit is turned on. The
802.11b Wireless LAN (WLAN) interface is disabled by factory default, but by using the BGAN
LaunchPad or Web UI you can configure the WLAN to be on at startup.
When the Terminal is connected to a DC power source, such as mains, the ISDN interface
remains on at all times. When running from the battery, the ISDN interface will turn off 5 minutes
after pointing is completed if no ISDN device is connected. You can re-enable the ISDN
interface from the BGAN LaunchPad or Web UI if you subsequently need to connect an ISDN
device. This saves power and maximizes operating times because the power sourcing circuitry
uses power even if no device is connected. If an ISDN device is connected at power up and
then disconnected before the timer expires, the ISDN interface will power off.
The following table summarizes the interface on/off behavior during battery and DC Power
operation.
