INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the configuration parameters of the Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) Terminal and
any tasks performed to configure the terminal for different operations. To start, open a web browser and type in the
Ethernet IP address of the BGAN terminal (default is http://192.168.128.100). Refer to

CONFIGURATION CAPABILITIES
The following capabilities are common to both the RF-7800B-VU and RF-7800B-DU BGAN Terminals:
•
Configure and initiate network connections for Internet Protocol (IP) data transfer, for either Background
operation or Streaming operation reserving from 32, 64, 128, 256 kbps of data throughput. Up to 11
simultaneous connections are possible.
•
Modify the Ethernet IP address and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server settings of the
terminal.
•
Enable/Disable Bypass Antenna Pointing Mode and Auto Register for Land Portable use in fixed
installations.
•
Enable/Disable 24/7 Network Connection Keep Alive mode, which forces any data connections to remain
active until manually deactivated.
•
Ability to choose automatic or manual satellite selection, when in areas of two satellite coverage.
•
Ability to work in multiple modes: Network Address Translation (NAT) Mode (for direct computer
connections), Relay Mode (for direct router connection), and Bridge Mode (for direct Harris Radio
connection).
•
Configuration of the Streaming Inactivity timer, allowing the automatic shutdown of any Streaming
connection when not in use for a specific duration.
•
View and reset the terminal's air-time usage meters.
•
Configure the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) settings of the terminal.
•
Perform a diagnostic self-test of the BGAN terminal.
•
Note that the ISDN, Universal Serial Bus (USB), and Ethernet interface are active when the unit is turned
on.
4.2.1
RF-7800B-VU104 Land Mobile BGAN Terminal
RF-7800B-VU104 is equipped with a tracking antenna. Additional capabilities are:
•
Bypass Antenna Pointing (On) and automatically register with the network: The BGAN terminal will
automatically attempt to register with the network once the tracking antenna has acquired the satellite signal
and obtained a Global Positioning System (GPS) fix.
