Hughes Satellite IP Modem R-BGAN User Manual

 

 

The figures below illustrate where the Control Buttons and Lights are located on the Satellite IP 
Modem and the functions of each. 

 

 

The Power Button turns the Satellite IP Modem power on and off. To turn on the Regional BGAN 
Satellite IP Modem, push the Power button down until the Power Light illuminates. To turn off the 

Satellite IP Modem, push the Power button down until the Power Light darkens (at least two 
seconds). The Modem will shut off a few seconds later.  

When the Satellite IP Modem is first connected with the AC Main power, the Modem will power 
on immediately. Note that when the Satellite IP Modem is attached to AC Main power, the 

Modem still supports battery charging while the Modem is turned off. 

When the Satellite IP Modem is powered down, the Power Light is off. 

Normal Operational Mode: The Power Light is green if the Modem is running on AC Mains power 

and flashing green if the Modem is on battery power.  

Pointing Mode: The Power Light displays as one of two “switching colour” states related to GPS 
acquisition. If the Light is switching between red and amber, then the GPS location has not been 

updated since power up. If the Light is switching between amber and green, then the GPS 

location has been updated since power up. 

In any mode, if the Power Light is flashing red, there is a fault or error in the Satellite IP Modem.
