To connect to the WLAN interface
3. Start the
EXPLORER Connect
app and select
Satellite Phone
(or start another SIP application).
If it is the first time you use the EXPLORER Connect
app, you must select
Register
when prompted.
You should now be ready to make and receive calls over BGAN.
For details on
initial setup
of your smartphone and the
EXPLORER 710, see

Note
Make sure your phone has an integrated SIP client. Cobham SATCOM offers the
EXPLORER Connect
app with a built-in SIP client that is ready to use with the
EXPLORER 710. You can also find other SIP applications on the Internet.
Note
If you are using the EXPLORER Connect app for the
first time, make sure that “Enable Reception of
Incoming Calls” is selected in the settings page. This is
to prevent your smartphone from closing the WLAN
connection when not in use. This is necessary in order
to be able to receive calls on your smartphone.
