BGAN or cellular network
The EXPLORER 510 is a BGAN terminal. However, you have the option of connecting an
EXPLORER Cellular Modem to the USB interface of the EXPLORER 510, making it possible to use
the cellular network when it is available. See Optional: To set up cellular network for data on
page 64.
Connection to the EXPLORER 510
WLAN is the primary interface on the EXPLORER 510 for connecting computers, smartphones
or tablets: For information on how to connect, see To connect your WLAN-enabled device on
page 8.
If you need to connect your device with a LAN cable, you can use the USB to LAN Converter
Cable delivered with the EXPLORER 510 and connect that to the USB interface of the
EXPLORER 510.
