CONFIGURATION

4.3.2 Setup Page

See Figure 4-2. The Setup page is used to configure the following BGAN terminal parameters.

Terminal Local IP Address: Use this to change the local IP address of the BGAN terminal from the default

192.168.128.100 IP address. All four octets are available to change. Select Apply after changing the local IP address

on this page. The IP address ranges for the DHCP server, the PDP Context page and Automatic Context Activation

(ACA) page will also be changed automatically. Changes to this field take affect after the BGAN terminal is

rebooted.

DHCP Server (On/Off): Use this to allow an automatic IP address allocation to the computer(s) connected to the

BGAN Terminal.

NOTE

The IP address of the terminal can

be m

odified along with

disabling the DHCP Server. If the IP address of the terminal is

forgotten, remove the USIM card and restart the BGAN

terminal. With the USIM card not present, the DHCP Server

will automatically be enabled, allowing the user to configure

the BGAN Terminal's IP address and DHCP Server settings.

DHCP Address Range: The DHCP Server address range (default of 192.168.101.X/24) are provided to the

connected computers which have been configured for dynamic Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol

(TCP/IP) addressing. If the DHCP server is turned Off, then devices connected to the BGAN terminal must be

configured to be in the same IP subnet address space as the BGAN terminal IP address.

Idle-mode DHCP Lease Time: Use this to change the default time (60 seconds) that the DHCP lease to the

computer is good for when the BGAN terminal is not connected to the network. This parameter helps solve a

problem with some models of Cisco routers that will not accept a short DHCP lease time. The longer the Idle-mode

DHCP lease time, the longer it will take the Network/BGAN terminal to update the computer with the correct

Domain Name System (DNS) servers for web browsing after establishing a PDP context.

Connected-mode DHCP Lease Time: The Connected-mode DHCP Lease Time refers to the DHCP lease time

when the BGAN terminal is connected to the network. Normally, there is no need to change this parameter.

PIN and PUK Number (Attempts Left): A 4-8 digit PIN may be used to enable use of the BGAN terminal for non-

emergency functions. If the USIM card has previously been utilized to require a PIN number, each time the terminal

is powered up, a PIN number will be required by the SIM Card. The PIN number entered here is stored in the BGAN

terminal, and provided to the SIM card upon power up. If the wrong PIN is typed in more than three times, the SIM

card becomes locked. When a PIN is locked, enter a Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) provided by the service

operator and press the Apply button. This will revert the USIM card to the original unlocked state without a PIN. If

a wrong PUK is entered ten times in a row, the SIM will become permanently blocked and unrecoverable, requiring

a new SIM card. The attempts left is a read only indication of the number of remaining attempts at entering a PIN

number and a PUK number.

Bypass Antenna Pointing: Use On to bypass antenna pointing and have the BGAN terminal go straight into

Registering with the Network. This is set to On as default for the RF-7800B-VU104. Enabling this for the RF-

7800B-DU024 allows the Land Portable terminal to be mounted in fixed installation, and automatically connect to

the network following a power failure.
