Data connection
Router function
The terminal has a router function which routes traffic between the local network connected
to the terminal and the BGAN network connection.
The router contains NAT (Network Address Translation) which allows sharing of a public IP
address between a number of local network users.
Standard or Streaming data
The BGAN network supports different classes of data connection to the Internet. The main
classes are Standard data and Streaming data.
•Using a Standard data connection, several users can share the data connection
simultaneously. This type of connection is ideal for TCP/IP traffic such as e-mail, file
transfer, and Internet and intranet access.
The user pays for the amount of data sent and received.
•Using a Streaming data connection, you get an exclusive, high-priority connection,
ensuring seamless transfer of data. This type of connection is ideal for time critical
applications like live video over IP.
The user pays for the duration of the connection (per minute charge).
To start and stop data connections (BGAN)
By default, you must activate your data connection from the EXPLORER Connect App or from

To configure the connected equipment for PPPoE
How to configure your equipment depends on the type of equipment. Refer to the user
documentation of the equipment. As a minimum, you need to configure the following
parameters in your equipment in order to make PPPoE work with the terminal:
• User name and password.
The user name and password can be left blank (or insert user name: void and password:
void). Then the registration on the Access Point is most commonly done in such a way that
the data connection is established with a dynamic IP address from the airtime provider.
To request a static IP (if subscribed to) from the Access Point you must type in the user
name and password from your airtime subscription.
Note for MAC OS: User name and password are required. Use user name void and
password void. This works for some ISPs. Contact your airtime provider for further
information.
• For setups that have a check box for “Enable LCP extensions”, deselect this.
No further configuration is needed to make a Standard IP data connection to the Internet.
See the table below for information on how to configure specific services for your PPPoE
connection.
If you need a certain service, for example a Streaming class, you must type in a specified text
string when asked for a service name. The following table shows the service names supported
by the terminal.
Text to type in the Service
Name field Function
(Blank) Initiates a Primary Standard Data connection (default)
XBB:BACKGROUND Initiates a Primary Standard Data connection (same as blank)
XBB:STREAM32K Initiates a Primary Streaming 32 kbps connection
XBB:STREAM64K Initiates a Primary Streaming 64 kbps connection
XBB:STREAM128K Initiates a Primary Streaming 128 kbps connection
XBB:<AT String> This allows the PPPoE clients to enter a full AT context
activation string.
Examples:
XBB:AT+CGDCONT=1,ip,”bgan.inmarsat.com”
XBB:AT+CGEQREQ=1,1,64,64,64,64

interface.
To help the EXPLORER 510 obtain
GPS fix, it should be placed flat on
an even surface pointing straight
upwards, with a clear view to as
much of the sky as possible.
When the EXPLORER 510 has
obtained GPS fix, you can point
the antenna towards the BGAN
satellite.
No signal or weak signal
from the BGAN satellite.
The view to the satellite is
blocked.
Make sure the EXPLORER 510 has
a clear view to the satellite. Be
aware that window glass may
reduce the signal level.
The antenna is pointed in the
wrong direction.
Check that the antenna is pointed
according to the position data.
Adjust the position to the highest
possible signal strength.
Connection to the
Internet cannot be
established.
The signal strength is too low. Check that the antenna is pointed
according to the position data.
Adjust the position to the highest
signal strength you can obtain.
As a rule of thumb, you should
have a a signal strength of
45 dBHz or more to be able to
make a call or data session.
