You can configure a pointing bypass option that causes the unit to
skip the pointing phase. The unit then performs spot beam selection,
registration and network connection. This option should only be used
for fixed installations where pointing is not required on subsequent
power ups. With this option active, if the unit is moved or the signal
attenuated, the unit will remain in global beam scan until the
problem is fixed and the global beam acquired. After acquiring the
global beam the modem automatically continues with PSAB
acquisition.

CTIVATION
If you have enabled automatic context activation, the Satellite IP
modem automatically activates a PDP context when it sees data
destined for the network from a local IP address for which there is no
context.
The “context create” request uses the default Access Point Name
(APN), username and password stored in the modem. You can
modify these parameters using the MMI. “Subscribed” QoS is
requested and a dynamic network assigned IP address requested
(“global” address).

HONEBOOK
BGAN supports a phonebook feature to facilitate the management
of phone numbers.
There are 3 phonebooks: a phonebook stored on your computer
(with 250 entries), the USIM global phonebook, and the USIM
application local phonebook. You can work with any of the three
phonebooks. The active phonebook can be saved as a file on the
TE. Files on the TE can be read into the application and then written
back to the USIM.
