If you require extra security when transmitting data, you can add a VPN connection to
LaunchPad, and use this connection to run a VPN application on your computer. When your
VPN connection is open and the VPN application is running, communications between
LaunchPad and the Terminal are closed down. Therefore, when a VPN connection is open,
information about the Terminal does not display on the LaunchPad status bar.

Data can be sent and received via the ISDN interface on the BGAN IP Terminal. To make use of
this service, you will need to connect an appropriate ISDN terminal equipment. Examples of ISDN
equipment are ISDN cards in PCs or MACs, ISDN Audio/Video cameras and video-conferencing
systems, and ISDN group 4 fax machines.
To accept incoming calls, you first have to program the ISDN terminal with the same MSN as is
programmed in the satellite terminal for that call type. The MSNs are pre-set in the terminal to be
2 for 3.1KHz audio, and 3 for UDI/RDI data, but any number can be programmed. It is important
that for each call type, the MSNs programmed in the terminal and the ISDN equipment match
to ensure that incoming calls can be accepted. To re-program the terminal MSN numbers to
match the ISDN device, go to LP>Terminal ISDN Interface. Any changes to this screen require the
terminal to be re-booted prior to the changes taking effect.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the ISDN equipment for information on the equipment
capability, the type of call that it uses, and how to program the appropriate MSN.
