Work through these checks
Separate status stages
The Home page separates registration/data status, signal, GPS and temperature. Record each field before attributing a connection failure to the antenna. A local console and satellite registration do not by themselves establish an active data session.
What the result means: Record Home status, signal, GPS, temperature, exact failure message and time. Export logs privately for support; do not publish credentials, SIM identifiers or location.
Separate APN and console credentials
Manual pages 30–32 distinguish Data Profile/APN credentials from Web Console login. Static-IP APN credentials come from the provider for the corresponding subscription; they are not console passwords. Preserve installed profiles and obtain provider confirmation instead of copying example APNs.
What the result means: Do not activate billable data as a diagnostic test or change firewall, APN or pointing settings without the installed-system procedure. Historical documentation does not confirm current airtime availability. Keep credentials private.
Preserve event and error evidence
Menu > Settings > Terminal Info > Logs separates Event Log and Error Log; Export all Logs saves the evidence. Preserve both categories and the observed Home state before any support-directed changes. Exporting logs is not a repair or evidence that the network account is active.
What the result means: Record Home status, signal, GPS, temperature, exact failure message and time. Export logs privately for support; do not publish credentials, SIM identifiers or location.
When to stop and get help
Do not activate billable data as a diagnostic test or change firewall, APN or pointing settings without the installed-system procedure. Historical documentation does not confirm current airtime availability. Keep credentials private.
What to tell support
Record Home status, signal, GPS, temperature, exact failure message and time. Export logs privately for support; do not publish credentials, SIM identifiers or location.
