Setting up Wideye Sabre 1 with BGAN LaunchPad Page 13
Opening a standard data connection
By default, when you first register with the BGAN network, the terminal opens a standard IP data
connection. The standard connection is an always-on, best effort connection and is suitable for
most basic data applications. It is charged by the amount of data sent and received.
To check that the standard connection is open, select the Data tab in BGAN LaunchPad.
The following screen is displayed:
If the standard connection is open, the words Disconnect Standard are displayed below the
connection icon.
Note If the standard connection is closed, the words Connect Standard display below the
connection icon. Click on the icon to open the standard connection.
You can now browse the Internet, send and receive email and use other IP applications. All traffic
is transferred across the standard connection.
Note If more than one user wants to open a data connection, each user must open a separate
session of BGAN LaunchPad. Refer to “BGAN and IP data connections” for details.
Opening a streaming data connection
If you require a guaranteed data rate for your connection (if, for example, the application is time
critical), you can connect using one of the dedicated streaming connections at the following data
rates:
• 32kbps streaming
• 64kbps streaming
