THERNET
Ethernet communications are established by connecting your computer Ethernet LAN port
directly to the Satellite Terminal LAN port via the supplied Ethernet cable.
USB
USB communications are established by connecting your computer USB port directly to the
Satellite Terminal LAN port via the supplied USB cable. Please ensure that you have the USB
driver installed.
ISDN
ISDN communications are established by connecting your computer ISDN port or ISDN device
directly to the Satellite Terminal ISDN port via the supplied ISDN cable (same as the Ethernet
cable).
With the ISDN interface you can make voice or data calls. Only one terminal at a time may
make a call since only one B channel is supported per Terminal in the BGAN system. However,
up to four ISDN phones may be utilized with the one ISDN connection, using a passive ISDN
splitter. Only one of the ISDN devices may make a call at one time..
WLAN
The WLAN function is used in access point mode. You can use the BGAN LaunchPad or Web UI
to configure the following parameters:
Wireless LAN interface on/off. The default is off.
Network (SSID) name. The default is “BGAN” but you can change it.
Channel number. This controls the radio channel number (1-14) used by the access point.
Depending on the country only certain subsets of these channels may be used (3 options:
France, Spain or Rest of the World). Channel 11 is common to almost all countries, so it is
used as the default.
Encryption. 64 or 128 bit WEP encryption can be enabled. Up to 4 WEP keys can be entered,
in either Hexadecimal or ASCI format.
Note: Not all Operating Systems will convert ASCI to hexadecimal when setting up a WLAN
connection. If you have any problems, please use the hexadecimal WEP key to connect
your computer to the terminal.
Up to a total of eleven users can access the Satellite Terminal simultaneously through the
Ethernet, USB and WLAN interfaces.
