The Satellite IP Modem Launch Pad menu will appear after you have completed the installation 
steps and clicked the Finish or Done button on the last Installation panel. Alternately the Launch 

Pad can be started by a double click on the Satellite IP Modem desktop icon. 

The QuickStart Wizard is always there to guide you through the Satellite IP Modem setup 
procedures. Should you experience problems after the initial setup or if you are required to set 

up or reinitialize the Satellite IP Modem from scratch, you can again run through the steps 

outlined in the Wizard to ensure correct Modem performance. 

The Control Pad is used for modem administration tasks. This programme gives you the ability to 

check the current Satellite IP Modem status and performance, manage Modem security, 
initialize and update network parameters, and review the “properties” of your system.  You can 

also access the Control Pad by typing 192.168.128.100 in your browser’s address window. 

The Upgrade Satellite IP Modem option allows you to connect to the Regional BGAN website 

and compare the software version currently installed in your Satellite IP Modem with the latest 
version available for use. You can then download and install the latest version at your 

convenience. 

The Upgrade System Information option allows you to connect to the Regional BGAN website 
and compare the System Information versions currently installed in your Satellite IP Modem with 

the latest System Information versions available for use. You can then download and install the 
latest version at your convenience. 

The View Documentation option allows you to view this and other documents on-line rather than 
having to search for the printed versions. 

Choosing the Exit option ends the Launch Pad programme and returns you to your computer 
desktop.
