Remote activation
If you want to remotely control the terminal, it must have activated a connection. You can do
this by sending an SMS to the terminal. The terminal must be powered up and logged on to the
satellite services to receive the SMS and then start the connection. The SMS activation is
always protected by a password. You can set up the terminal to send an SMS confirmation on
the status of the connection, whether it is activated successfully or the activation failed.
To set up the terminal for remote activation with SMS, do as follows:
1. From the left navigation pane, select ADMINISTRATION > Remote activation.
2. Select whether remote activation should be Enabled or Disabled.
You must activate a data connection in the terminal before
you can access the terminal.
The terminal must be logged on to the satellite services
to receive and accept an activation SMS. If the SMS is
considered too old or sent before the terminal has been
switched on and has logged on, the SMS will be ignored.
This service is available if the service provider has
an interoperability agreement with Inmarsat and
allows for roaming. If in doubt, contact your mobile
provider.
