SYSTEM SETUP AND TEARDOWN
2.6 INITIAL TURN-ON / CHECK
Once the system is installed, verify that the BGAN terminal is operational. Perform the following:
a. Make sure the data cable is connected to BGAN terminal and computer.
b. Make sure the power cable is connected to BGAN terminal and power source.
c. Turn on power to BGAN Terminal and wait at least 30 seconds for the BGAN Terminal to power-up.
d. Set up a Microsoft Windows computer with the ability to automatically receive an IP address.
1. Select Start > Settings > Networks and Connections.
2. Select Local Area Connection and select Properties from the context menu.
3. Select the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) connection and select the
Properties button.
4. Select Obtain an IP address automatically from the General tab of the TCP/IP Properties page.
5. Select OK to close the TCP/IP Properties page and OK again to close the Local Area Connection
Properties page.
e. Use a web browser on the computer to access the BGAN terminal Web interface using its Internet
Protocol (IP) address. For example, open Internet Explorer and enter into the Address field the default
Web interface address for the BGAN terminal: http://192.168.128.100. If the web interface does not
appear, refer to Paragraph 2.6.1 to determine the correct Ethernet IP address of the BGAN terminal, and
use that value in the browser address field. Verify that the internet browser’s Temporary Internet Files
Settings are set to check for newer versions of stored pages “Every time I visit the webpage” to ensure
that updated status can be viewed properly.
2.6.1 Determining Ethernet IP address of BGAN Terminal
The BGAN Terminal's default Ethernet IP address can be modified from the Web Interface, requiring a change to
the address provided above. Connect the BGAN Terminal to a Microsoft Windows computer and determine its
Ethernet IP address.
a. Open a Command prompt window (select Start > Run, and type cmd and press Enter).
b. Type ipconfig in the Command Prompt window. The value of the Default Gateway will be the value
to place in the browser Address field. Refer to Table 5-4 (Was the embedded DHCP server turned off?)
if the computer does not obtain an IP address from the BGAN Terminal.
