To connect to the LAN interface
There is only one wired LAN interface in the EXPLORER 323, so you may want to connect a
switch in order to connect more devices. If you want to use a wired VoIP/SIP handset you may
need to connect to a PoE switch for power; the EXPLORER 323 LAN interface
does not
supply PoE .
Before you connect to the LAN interface
For the LAN interface to work without any further setup, the connected device must be set up
to
obtain an IP address and a DNS server address automatically .
To connect a computer to the LAN interface
To connect a computer to the LAN interface, do as follows:
1. Power up your computer.
2. Connect your LAN cable between the network connector on your computer and the LAN
interface from the terminal (or a switch connected to the terminal).
For details on the physical LAN interface, see
To connect Ethernet on page 14.
3. When the computer and the terminal are ready and the terminal is registered on the BGAN
network, you can start a data connection, e.g. from the web interface. See
To start and
stop data connections on page 24.
4. When you have started a data connection, you are ready to access the Internet over the
BGAN Standard data connection.
For information on how to configure the LAN interface on the terminal, see LAN interface
setup on page 65, Terminal settings on page 61 and Advanced LAN on page 68.
Note
This section only describes a Standard Internet connection with default settings on
the terminal. For information on other scenarios, see
To control data connections
from web interface on page 47.
