software.
4. If you have selected Immediate update (_IGETFW=1), the terminal updates the system,
reboots, installs the update and verifies the online connection.
5. When the software upgrade is successfully completed you get an AT or SMS command
response with the message Complete.

File transfer
Using AT commands, you can transfer a configuration file or a log file between the
EXPLORER 540 (local directory in EXPLORER 540 is “/”) and an FTP server over the satellite
network.
_IGETFILE tells the terminal to get a file from an FTP server (e.g. a configuration file).
_ISENDFILE tells the terminal to send a file to an FTP server (e.g. a log file).
_IUPDCFG tells the terminal to update the EXPLORER 540 configuration with the contents of
the previously downloaded configuration file.
For Syntax and parameters, see ATCO commands on page 133.
Configuration file
If you need to reuse a configuration in other terminals of the same type, you can save your
current configuration to a file, which can then be loaded into the other terminal(s).
Save configuration
To command the EXPLORER 540 to save its configuration to a file and transfer it to an FTP
server, do as follows:
1. To access the EXPLORER 540, use one of the following:
• a computer connected to the Internet, see Remote access with AT commands on
page 31, or
• equipment connected to a cellular network, see Remote access with SMS on page 25.
Note that you need a password for both access methods. For AT commands, use the
AT_ICLCK command with the admin password, for SMS, use the remote SMS password.
2. Send the command _ISENDFILE to the EXPLORER 540 to make it send the configuration
file to the specified destination on your FTP server.
Note
Be aware that if the terminals have different software versions, some of the settings
may be different than expected. If possible, use the same software version in the
terminals.
