INTRODUCTION TO GETTING STARTED
This guide outlines the procedure to connect to the Inmarsat network. It will guided you through the
procedure for powering up your terminal, obtaining a GPS position fix, connecting your computer to the
terminal and registering with the BGAN network. You are then ready to start using voice and broadband
services.
SETTING UP YOUR TERMINAL
Set up the GX-9 terminal as follows.
1. Verify that the ADU and BDU are
properly connected by the coaxial
cable. And the BDU is connected to a
suitable source of dc power. Refer to
the GX-9 Installation Instructions for
details.
2. Press the power ON/OFF switch
(located at the left corner of the BDU
front panel). The power LED will
illuminate. The flashing READY LED
indicates that the antenna is
automatically scanning the sky, the
GPS receiver is acquiring a position
fix, and the software is preparing the
terminal for operation. When the
satellite signal has been acquired the
READY LED will change from flashing
to steady on. The terminal is now
ready to operate.

AUTO START CONFIGURATION
The terminal is configured by default to automatically attempt to register with the Inmarsat network once
the antenna has acquired the satellite signal and obtained a GPS position fix.

Note
These default configurations are accessible through LaunchPad or the web Man-Machine
Interface (MMI). It is recommended that these settings be retained for convenient operation
of the GX-9 Terminal.
POWER UP AND CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET
When power is first applied GX-9 will begin a start-up sequence. The antenna will begin its search for the
satellite and the antenna motors may be heard during this time. Note that the antenna must have line of
sight view towards the satellite.
When the vessel is at a fixed location after acquiring the satellite signal the antenna will continue to make
minor adjustments to optimize the signal strength. During this time the you may hear the antenna motors
“tweaking” its direction toward the satellite. If the vessel is completely stationary the antenna will find an
optimum position and stop searching.
When the vessel is underway the antenna will automatically track the satellite signal and keep the
antenna pointed towards the satellite. During short outages (caused by moving under a bridge) the
antenna will remain in the same position and will re-acquire the satellite signal immediately after the
blockage is removed. For longer outages the antenna may need to repeat the search sequence to
reacquire the satellite signal.

Note
Circuit switched and packet switched connections will recover from signal outages of less
than 60 seconds. User intervention may be required to reactivate connections for outage
longer than 60 seconds.
CONNECTING THE TERMINAL TO THE COMPUTER
You can connect your computer to the GX-9 with one or more of the following interfaces

CONNECTING THE ANALOG PHONE/FAX MACHINE

Glocom GX-9 (FB250 Class) Operating Manual 7
BGAN provides circuit switched fax service via an ISDN 3.1KHz audio channel. You may connect your
analog fax machine to either an ISDN terminal adaptor which is connected to the GX-9 ISDN port or
directly to the TEL1 (RJ-11) port. Even though it is more convenient to connect an analog fax to a RJ-11
port be aware that the BGAN fax calls are charged at ISDN rate (usually higher than the BGAN low rate
voice service).
A voice call made via TEL1 will be charged as an ISDN 3.1kHz audio service – if user did not
used the forced service dialing sequence (see below).

Note: This
parameter should not be checked unless you have a critical need to keep the PDP context alive
for critical information. This is not a good use of satellite resources.

n: This parameter is used within a satellite overlap region and allows the user to
override the default satellite (normally selected by the GX-9 based upon elevation angle/GPS
location) and select a different satellite. Note:
Note:Note:
Note: This change does not take affect until the GX-9 is
reset. When set to AUTO the GX-9 will select the satellite based on the GPS position. When set
to a specific satellite it will attempt to use that satellite only. Be careful to select the correct
satellite for your position and note the time periods when the specific satellites are valid.
10. Net mode
Net modeNet mode
Net mode: Most users will use NAT mode for their application. Bridge mode requires the PC or
other TE to be intelligent enough to handle two IP addresses and to be able to route traffic to
either address. One address is the GX-9’s private IP address and the other is the public IP
address assigned by the network when a PDP context is activated.

STATISTICS
This web page provides an estimate of the amount of Packet Switched data sent and received, along with
time spent on a CS call. The data is divided into three types:
Session:
Session: Session:
Session: The PS session statistics track the cumulative PS data sent and received on background PDP
contexts since the unit was powered on. CS sessions statistics track the time of the last call.
Trip:
Trip: Trip:
Trip: The trip counter is similar to the trip counter on your vehicle. It can be set to zero at anytime by the
user and it will track the statistics until the User resets it.
Lifetime:
Lifetime: Lifetime:
Lifetime: The Lifetime counter is similar to the odometer on your vehicle. It shows the statistics of the
terminal since the software version that added this feature was loaded onto the UT. The User cannot

Note: If the GX-9 power is abruptly disconnected for some reason, it will not be able to save the
statistics to flash memory and hence the statistics for the session maybe inaccurate.
