Chapter 3 - Using SABRE
TM
Ranger Web Console
Establishing a connection with the BGAN network requires the careful orientation of the SABRE™ Ranger terminal
towards the satellite, a process called antenna pointing.
To perform antenna pointing, you will need a compass and the following information from the Web Console:
•
Pointing Angle (Azimuth and Elevation)
•
Signal stength indicator bar
With the SABRE™ Ranger Web Console launched, follow these steps to register with the network:
1. Select the satellite you want the SABRE™ Ranger terminal to point to.
2. Rotate the terminal left or right until it points in the correct horizontal direction as indicated in the
Azimuth
reading with the aid of a compass.
3. Tilt the terminal slowly up or down until it points in the correct vertical direction as indicated in the
Elevation
reading.
4. With the aid of the Signal indicator bar on the Web Console, fine tune the pointing direction to obtain the
maximum signal strength.
