Connecting to the LAN interface
This section does not describe configuration of the LAN interface. For information on
configuration, see Configuring the LAN interface on page 112.
To connect to the LAN interface, do as follows:
1.
Connect the LAN cable to the network interface of your computer.
A suitable cable is provided with your EXPLORER 700.
2.
Connect the other end of the
cable to one of the LAN
connectors on the
EXPLORER 700.
3.
Power up the EXPLORER 700 and point the antenna as described in Pointing the antenna on
page 26.
After pointing, the connection is automatically established. By default, the connection is a
Standard data connection.
4.
Check the connection, e.g. by starting your Internet Browser.
If connection fails, check that the interface is enabled in the EXPLORER 700. If the LAN icon is not
present in the display Main screen and in the Dashboard in the web interface, the interface is
disabled. See Enabling or disabling an interface on page 54.
If connection still fails, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page 162.
Important
The ISDN interface and the LAN interface use the same connector type. Be
careful not to connect to the wrong interface.
