FB250 - Marine Satellite Communication System

No. Item Description

Satellite

By default, the terminal is set up to automatically nd the most appropriate satellite

to connect to (“Auto” mode). However, if you are located in an area with more than

one BGAN satellite available, you can select the satellite you prefer to use when

registering on the BGAN network.

Select Satellite

Select the satellite you prefer to use.

If you select Auto (the default setting) the Aptus LX System automatically uses the

most appropriate satellite.

If you have selected a satellite your Aptus LX system will only try to establish a

connection to the selected satellite. This means that if the antenna is outside the

coverage area for that satellite, the Aptus LX system will not be able to register

with the BGAN network.

Click the Apply button to apply the settings to the system. The AptusLX

terminates all ongoing connections and deregisters from the current satellite

before it registers on the new satellite (or If you have any ongoing calls or data

sessions, they will be terminated when you click the Apply button.)

Tracking Status

When a satellite is selected, the antenna status is changed from Seeking Status to

Tracking Status.

Seeking Status: The antenna is searching for the BGAN signal.

Tracking Status: The antenna has found and locked to the BGAN signal. The

antenna is now tracking the BGAN signal. The blue line shows Signal Strength

(dBHz) and the green line shows Signal Quality Scores.
