98-148232-B Installation process 12
Installation process for satellite operation
The installation process starts up automatically when you apply power to the EXPLORER 540.
The process is as follows:
1. Apply power to the EXPLORER 540 from a separate power supply or from a PoE source.
The light indicator between the two cable glands shows the status during startup.
1
• Green flashing rapidly: Starting up
• Yellow flashing: BGAN pointing
2. When the indicator flashes yellow and you hear the pointing sound, you can start pointing
the antenna.
3. Turn and tilt the EXPLORER 540
until you have obtained the highest
possible signal strength (when the
pointing sound is continuous you
have the optimum signal, see the
next section Audio assisted
pointing).
4. Tighten the screws to fix the
EXPLORER 540 in the pointed
position.
When the signal has been stable for about 20 seconds the pointing procedure
automatically ends, and the terminal attempts to register on the network and verify the
satellite connection (indicator flashing green).
5. When installation is completed successfully, the light indicator turns steady green and
then, after a few minutes, the light goes off. If you have enabled automatic activation, the
data connection is established automatically.
Note
Normally you are not required to enter a PIN code for the BGAN service, because the
SIM PIN is either disabled or set up for automatic validation. However, if the PIN is
enabled and not set up for auto validation, you have to enter the PIN before you can
access the BGAN network. For details, see To enter the SIM PIN in the web interface
on page 74.
1. If you have a computer connected to the EXPLORER 540, you can follow the process in
the web interface, see
To restart the installation process on page 47.
CAUTION! When the connection is established, keep the minimum safety
distance of 1 m from the antenna front face. The antenna radiates
microwave power as soon as the pointing procedure is completed.
Note
The LED is always off after successful installation, even after reboot! The LED
only comes on again if you restart installation.
Note
If the LED is steady yellow after pointing, the installation failed. See
Troubleshooting on page 78.
