To set or change the APN for your cellular connection
If the APN for your cellular connection is not set up automatically, you must set it up before
you can connect to the cellular network. Do as follows:
1. Select
on the tile with the cellular connection.
2. Type in the new name for your connection.
3. Type in the name of the APN you are going to use for your cellular connection.
4. If required, type in user name and password for your APN.
5. Click Save.
To select the cellular network
1. Select (Control panel) > Terminal settings.
2. Under Connection, Mode, select Cellular modem preferred or Cellular modem
preferred (PRISM)
1
.
3. Click Save.
4. When the modem is connected, the opening page of the web interface shows a new tile
with the cellular connection. The “M” on the tile for the cellular modem indicates that it is
a cellular modem and not a BGAN connection.
5. If required, select
on the tile to set or change the name or the APN of your cellular
connection. For details, see the next section.
When the connection is established, an “M” on the signal bar in the top right corner indicates
that it is a cellular (M
odem) connection, and the tile shows details about the connection.
The data connection is automatically established when set up correctly, so you cannot start
and stop connections from the tiles as you can when the terminal is in BGAN mode.
You can now access the Internet through the cellular network from a device connected to the
EXPLORER 540. Note that the BGAN connection is still running in the background on standby.
1. PRISM requires installation and configuration of a server and configuration of the
EXPLORER 540, see EXPLORER 540 operation in Cellular modem preferred (PRISM) mode on
page 97.
The Standard data connection on the BGAN network is still running in the
background and cannot be stopped.
You may have to enter a PIN before you can use the cellular network, see To enter
the SIM PIN in the web interface on page 91.
You cannot make calls on the cellular network through the EXPLORER 540. Only data
connection is possible.
