Properties
The PROPERTIES section of the DASHBOARD shows the following information:
• Airtime provider. The name of your Airtime Provider.
• GPS position. The GPS position of your EXPLORER 325 system.
• Status. The status of the EXPLORER 325 system.
The status can be one of the following:
• Scanning. The terminal has instructed the antenna to scan for a BGAN signal. (The antenna
status will show “Sky scan”)
• Searching. The antenna has found a BGAN signal and the terminal is searching for a BGAN
network in order to perform a registration. (The antenna status will show “Tracking”)
• Registering. The terminal is attempting to register with the Satellite Access Station (SAS).
• Ready. The terminal has registered and connected to the SAS and is ready to accept a service
request (a call or a data session).
• Data active. The terminal has established a call or a data session through the BGAN
network.
• No GPS fix. The GPS receiver has not yet achieved position fix. It may take some time to
achieve GPS fix depending on a number of conditions. First of all, the antenna should have
an unblocked view to as much of the sky as possible.
The terminal will not be able to register with the SAS without a GPS fix.
• Not registered. The terminal has not been able to register with the BGAN network.
• Satellite selection. The satellite selected for logon. For further information, see Selecting the
preferred BGAN satellite on page 101.
• Current satellite. The satellite to which the system is currently logged on.
• Unit serial number. The serial number of the terminal.
• Software version. The version of the software embedded in the terminal.
• Local IP address. The local IP address of the terminal. This is the IP address used to access the
terminal from a device connected to the terminal.
• IMEI number. The IMEI number (International Mobile Equipment Identity) of the terminal. This
is a unique number that identifies your terminal.
• Antenna status. The status of the antenna.
The antenna status can be:
• Sky scan. The antenna is searching for the BGAN signal.
• Tracking. The antenna has found and locked to the BGAN signal. The antenna is now
tracking the BGAN signal.
• No antenna. No known antenna is detected by the terminal.
Note
In some cases, the BGAN network does not allow the position to be displayed to the
user. If this is the case, the display may just show GPS acquired. This means that the
GPS position is received, but not shown.
This also applies if the EXPLORER is not yet registered on the BGAN network, but the
GPS position is received.
