Chapter 2: To get started
98-148232-B Installation process 13
6. The EXPLORER 540 is now ready for use. For details on how to access the EXPLORER 540
from a remote location, see To access the terminal from a remote location on page 20.
After successful installation, the EXPLORER 540 will automatically register on the BGAN
network at every power-up and, if automatic activation is enabled, establish a data connection
again. This is also the case following one of the “wake-on” actions after power save.
Audio assisted pointing
By default, the EXPLORER 540 uses a pointing sound to indicate the signal level during the
pointing procedure (Audio assisted pointing). The sound pattern is as follows:
• Poor signal strength: • • • •
• Good signal strength: •••••••••••••••••••
• Optimum signal strength: (continuous sound instead of single “beeps”)
You can disable the pointing sound using the web interface. For details, see To enable or
disable the pointing sound on page 52.
To repoint the antenna
You may need to point the antenna again later, e.g. if the terminal has been moved or the
signal is blocked.
To start the installation process again, you can do one of the following:
• Use the web interface (
(Control panel) and then Installation). See To restart the
installation process on page 47.
• Reset the EXPLORER 540 using the Reset button inside the interface enclosure on the back
of the terminal. See Reset button on page 77.
Do you need a PIN?
To avoid having to enter a PIN at startup, you have two options:
•Enable Auto SIM PIN validation. See Auto SIM PIN validation on page 64.
With this option enabled, the EXPLORER 540 automatically sends the PIN to the SIM card
at every startup. Note that if you later want change the SIM card, you should first disable
Auto SIM PIN validation.
• Disable the use of a SIM PIN. See To enable or disable the use of a SIM PIN on page 64.
When the SIM PIN is disabled, the SIM can be used by other terminals without a PIN.
If you are using a SIM PIN in your system, you can enter the SIM PIN from the built-in web
interface. For details, see To enter the SIM PIN on page 74.
Important
If your EXPLORER 540 is used in an unmanned M2M system, you will not be able
to enter a PIN code. In this case we strongly recommend enabling Auto SIM
PIN validation in the web interface before using the system. See below.
Note
If you are asked for a PIN in the web interface and you select Cancel, you cannot
communicate on the network, but you can access all settings.
