How to fix COBHAM Antenna pointing process failure?
If the COBHAM Antenna EXPLORER 540 pointing process fails during installation, first ensure that the EXPLORER 540 has a clear view to the satellite. If the view is clear, reboot the terminal to run the installation again. Also, check that the antenna is pointed according to the position data, and adjust the position to achieve the highest possible signal strength.
Why COBHAM Antenna has weak BGAN signal?
If you experience no signal or a weak signal from the BGAN satellite with your COBHAM Antenna EXPLORER 540, ensure that there is a clear, unobstructed view to the satellite. Keep in mind that window glass may reduce the signal level. Also, verify that the antenna is pointed in the correct direction according to the position data, and adjust it for the highest possible signal strength.
What to do if COBHAM Antenna EXPLORER 540 cannot obtain its position?
If the COBHAM Antenna EXPLORER 540 cannot obtain its position, ensure that the view to the GNSS satellites is unobstructed. For best results, place the EXPLORER 540 flat on an even surface, pointing straight upwards with a clear view of the sky. After the EXPLORER 540 obtains its position, you can point the antenna towards the BGAN satellite. Check the position status in the web interface, within the status section.
