2. Using the compass on the back, point the antenna in the direction of the BGAN Satellite
(in the US, this is the southern sky). Large trees or buildings obstructing the line of site
may cause a weak signal or no signal at all.
3. Turn power on by hitting the small grey “On” button towards the back and underneath.
4. On the display screen you will be prompted to “ENTER PIN”. Just wait or press Cancel.
Tips for obtaining a good signal
1. Begin moving the BGAN terminal left to right by slowly moving the base. Try to obtain the
highest signal strength possible. When beeping becomes more frequent and the strongest
possible signal has been obtained, proceed with next step.
2. On your display screen you will see your signal strength. Keep adjusting the angle to
reach the peak signal strength. The ideal signal should be at, or higher than, 54.0 and the
beeps become a steady long beep. (Note: Sometimes a signal strength of around 48dBHz
will be satisfactory).
3. Repeat these steps until maximum strength is reached.
At this point you can hit OK on the display. It will go through a Registering mode; then Ready will
be displayed.
5.3 Setting up the Codec to Connect over ISDN using BGAN
First, set up your Tieline codec for the desired audio input level for CH1 and/or CH2. To do this:
1. Go to SOFTKEY 1 AUD and select “Input Gains” by pressing any white “softkey” button.
2. Next select “All Inputs” or “Input 1” and/or “Input 2” on Commander codecs (Inputs 3, 4
and 5 are also available on an i-Mix).
3. Select the desired input level. We suggest “Med Gain” for headset/boom mic
combinations, “High Gain” for ‘stick’ type mics, “Unbalanced” for consumer playback
products such as iPods, MP3 Players, MiniDisc, CD players, etc. and “Balanced” for
professional balanced audio devices.
Second, attach your mic, headphone(s) and Tieline power supply to the codec and install a Tieline
Euro ISDN module. Note: If your Euro module is not installed, always disconnect power when
installing or swapping modules.
Third, plug a Cat5/LAN cable into your Euro ISDN module and plug the other end into the “ISDN 1
or 2” input on the side of the BGAN. Now power up your codec and before dialing ensure the
following codec ISDN settings are programmed:
Scroll down until the square brackets surround “ISDN 1” on the main codec connection screen.
Press the “Wiz” softkey to enter the codec ISDN Wizard and press “OK” to proceed. Then select:
1. [Network; ÆEU-ETSIÅ]
2. [Algorithm; ÆG.711 (voice), G.722, MP2, Voice G3, Music, MusicPLUS Å]
3. [ISDN Line Type ; ÆP-MultiÅ]
4. [Local Subaddress noneÅ]
5. [SPID 1; ÆnoneÅ]
6. [DN1; ÆnoneÅ]
7. [SPID 2; ÆnoneÅ]
8. [DN2; ÆnoneÅ]
9. [Auto Reconnect; ÆDisableÅ]
