User interfaces
The web interface is a built-in web interface for easy configuration. The web interface is
accessed from a computer connected to the EXPLORER 540, using an Internet browser. No
installation of software is needed on the computer. For further information on the web
interface, see The web interface on page 39.
With AT commands you can configure and control the EXPLORER 540 from a computer
using a Telnet session, or from connected equipment, e.g. in M2M applications. For further
details see To access the terminal using AT commands on page 19.
With SMS commands you can configure and control the EXPLORER 540 remotely. For
details, see Remote access with SMS on page 20.
The distributors may have their own Graphical User Interface, which could be built on e.g.
Inmarsat's M2M API (M2MAP) or similar. Contact your distributor for information.
Antenna
The plastic part of the EXPLORER 540 holds the antenna part comprising:
• GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) antenna supporting GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou.
• BGAN antenna.
SIM card
The EXPLORER 540 requires a SIM card to go online with BGAN. Without a SIM card you can
still configure the terminal, but you cannot make calls nor access the internet.
Your SIM card determines whether your EXPLORER 540 is operating as an M2M terminal or as
a standard class 2 terminal.
SIM lock: The supplier may have locked the SIM card to a specific provider. For further
information, contact your supplier.
