Note
: After completion of the installation
process the LED will only be lit for a short pe-
riod at power-up and then be off until a new
installation process is started.
Note: This drawing is just an example. Your configuration may use other types of equipment.
C1D2:
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D
OR non-hazardous locations only.
This equipment must be installed using wiring methods as required for Class I,
Division 2 as per the NEC and/or CEC.
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD –
Do not connect or disconnect
equipment unless power has been removed or the area is known to be non-
hazardous.
AVERTISSEMENT – RISQUE D’EXPLOSION –
Ne pas brancher ou
débrancher un équipement sauf si le courant a été coupé ou la zone est
réputée non dangereuse.

Cable requirements
If the
LED
turns
steady yellow
, it means the installation failed, e.g. because the terminal was
unable to detect a stable BGAN signal or veriify the network connection.
If you connect a computer locally to the terminal, you can use the built-in web interface to follow
the progress on screen during installation, and to see warning messages if the installation failed.
1. Connect your computer to the LAN interface of EXPLORER 540.
2. Open your browser on the con-
nected computer.
3. Power up the terminal.
4. Access the web interface
at the local IP address (de-
fault192.168.0.1).
5. Enter the user name:
User
and
password: <serial number of the
terminal>.
