there is any other status information to show, e.g. if a call or data session is active or there
is a warning, the display will show that instead.
If you are not going to use the LAN/WLAN connection, remove the cable or disable the
interface to avoid being charged for any transmission through this interface.
To repoint the antenna
You may need to point the antenna again later, e.g. if the terminal has been moved or the
signal is blocked.
To start the pointing process again, do as follows:
Display: Select
 and select Point now. Then go through the pointing process as described
in the previous section.
web interface: Select
 from the top right corner and select Start. Then go through the
pointing process as described in the previous section, but click Accept in the web interface
instead of OK in the display.
Using a fixed antenna installation
You can keep the EXPLORER 710 antenna in a fixed position, using the Pole mount kit for
EXPLORER 710.
Do as follows:
1. Separate the antenna from the transceiver as described in To detach the antenna on
page 9.
2. Mount the EXPLORER 710 antenna on a pole or a wall, for example using the Pole mount
kit.
3. Connect the antenna cable between the antenna and the transceiver.
4. Start up the EXPLORER 710 and point the antenna as described in To point the antenna on
page 16.
5. Accept the signal strength by pressing OK on the EXPLORER 710 keypad.
6. Fasten the EXPLORER 710 antenna in the pointed position.
You only have to point the antenna once, when you mount it. Using a computer connected to
the EXPLORER 710, you can set up the EXPLORER 710 to skip pointing at power up. Refer to To
set up pointing at power up on page 53.
Note
By default, the EXPLORER 710 automatically connects to the Internet when you
connect equipment to the LAN or WLAN interface (Standard data connection).
