Starting up the terminal
SIM card
Note that the EXPLORER 727 terminal requires a SIM card dedicated to the land vehicular BGAN
service. The terminal can only access the BGAN network when the right type of SIM card is
installed. For information on how to insert the SIM card, refer to the installation manual.
Switching on the terminal
Using the Power switch
To switch on
the terminal, use the Power switch in the connector panel. It normally takes one or
two seconds for the terminal to switch on.
Using the ignition system
If you have connected the ignition system of your vehicle to the I/O connector, you may leave the
power switch in the “on” position and the terminal will switch on/off when you start/stop the
engine of your vehicle. When the engine is stopped the terminal is in standby mode, meaning that
only the primary parts of the system are kept alive. The standby current is max. 15 mA when the
ignition is off. For information on how to connect to the I/O connector, refer to the installation
manual for the EXPLORER 727 system.
You must set up the ignition function in the web interface. For further information, see
Configuring
the I/O interface
on page 79.
Using a remote on/off switch
If a switch is connected to the remote on/off pins in the DC connector, you may leave the power
switch in the “on” position and use the remote switch to turn the terminal on and off. When the
remote switch is off, the terminal is off. However, if you leave the power switch on the terminal in
the “on” position, you can always switch the terminal back on with the remote switch. The standby
current when the remote switch is off is max. 2 mA. For further information on the remote on/off
function, refer to the installation manual for the EXPLORER 727 system.
Note
In some cases, the system may reboot after power-on because of the high start-up
current.
