Establishing a connection using BGAN terminal
Using a BGAN terminal
Introduction
By connecting the IP Handset to a BGAN terminal you gain access to the BGAN
satellite network with your IP Handset. When the IP Handset is used with the
BGAN terminal, it communicates using Internet protocol between the handset
and the terminal. However, on the BGAN network side of the terminal the call
is transmitted as a circuit switched Standard Voice or 3.1 kHz Audio call.
When connected with the BGAN terminal the IP Handset provides a dedicated
menu for the terminal.
IP Handset connection
The wired handset is connected to the BGAN terminal by connecting the
Ethernet cable from the cradle to one of the LAN ports of the terminal. For
further information, see
Connecting the wired IP Handset to a BGAN terminal
on page 12.
The wireless handset is connected to the BGAN terminal either by connecting
to the integrated wireless access point of the terminal or a separate wireless
access point to one of the LAN ports of the terminal. For information on how to
connect the handset to the access point, see
Connecting the IP Handset to a
wireless access point on page 20.
