The web interface opens up to the Properties page. See Figure 4-6.
2. Monitor the Web interface PROPERTIES page GPS Position information to determine when a
GPS Fix is obtained. Refer to Paragraph 3.7.1.
The BGAN terminal will not achieve optimal capabilities if
there is excessive RF interference on its operational or
adjacent channels. For maximum performance, a clear Line of
Sight (LOS) path should exist to satellites.
3.6 RF-7800B-VU104 INITIAL SETTINGS AND TURN-ON
Perform the following to point RF-7800B-VU104 Land Mobile BGAN Terminal and get a GPS fix.
a. Move the vehicle with Land Mobile BGAN Terminal outside. Verify that the unit has an open view of
the sky to get a GPS fix.
b. Connect the BGAN terminal to a computer and power source.
c. Power up the BGAN terminal.
After power is applied, RF-7800B-VU104 begins a start-up sequence. The tracking antenna searches
for BGAN satellites and the antenna motors may be heard during this time. After locking onto a BGAN
satellite, some minor adjustments are made to acquire optimum signal strength. Eventually, an optimum
position is reached.
d. Access the Web interface.
1. Open a web browser and type in the Ethernet IP address of the BGAN terminal (default is
http://192.168.128.100). Refer to Paragraph 2.6 Initial Turn-On / Check for detailed instructions.
The web interface opens up to the Properties page. See Figure 4-6.
