To switch on the EXPLORER 323
To use the ignition system
If you have connected the ignition system of your vehicle to the Remote on/off wire (blue wire
in cable) and enabled the Remote on/off function in the web interface, the terminal will switch
on/off when you start/stop the ignition of your vehicle.
When the ignition is switched off the terminal is in power save state, unless other conditions
keep the EXPLORER 323 from going into power save state. see
page 34. For information on how to connect Ignition to the EXPLORER 323 cable, refer to
If you are not using the EXPLORER Mobile Gateway, you must enable the Remote on/off
function in the web interface. For further information, see
To use a remote on/off switch
If an external switch is connected to the remote on/off pin in the DC connector, you may use
the remote switch to turn the terminal on and off. When the remote switch is off, the terminal
is in power save state, same function as with the Ignition described above.
Power up completed
When the terminal is switched on and ready, the LED in
the bottom of the terminal lights steady green.
If the LED is flashing green it has started up but is not
yet ready to communicate on the network. You can
access the terminal settings, but the terminal is not
ready to make calls or running data sessions until the
system is registered on the BGAN network. You may
have to enter a SIM PIN before the system can register.

Note
In some cases, the system may reboot after power-on because of the high start-up
current.
