After power is applied, the Hughes-9350 Terminal and Hughes Tracking Antenna will begin their

start-up sequence. The tracking antenna will begin its search of the BGAN satellite and the

antenna motors may be heard during this time. Note that the tracking antenna must have line

of sight of the BGAN satellite. Once the antenna has locked onto the BGAN satellite, it will

continue to make minor adjustments to acquire optimum signal strength. The antenna may be

heard ‘twitching’ during this time. Eventually the antenna will sit at an optimum position while

the vehicle is stationary.

Once the vehicle starts moving, the Hughes Tracking Antenna will automatically track the

satellite signal and keep the antenna pointed towards the satellite. During short outages (e.g.

while driving under a bridge, etc.) the antenna will remain in the same position and will pick up

the satellite signal immediately. For longer outages the antenna may need to repeat the search

pattern to reacquire the satellite signal.

Note

Circuit switched and packet switched connections will typically recover from signal

outages of less than 60 seconds. User intervention may be required to reactivate

connections for outage longer than 60 seconds.

ONNECTING THE

ERMINAL TO THE

OMPUTER

You can connect your computer to the 9350 terminal with one or more of the following

interfaces

 USB

 RJ-11

 Ethernet

 Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)

 WLAN



Note

There is no need to check the active interface. All interfaces can be used

simultaneously to accommodate multiple users.



Note

During initial setup, the terminal can only be configured using either a USB or an

Ethernet connection. Once the terminal has been configured, all five interfaces

(USB, RJ-11, Ethernet, WLAN and ISDN) can be used for data transfer depending

on the service required.

Your computer must be configured to support your chosen connection method.
