To connect to the LAN interface
Before connecting to the LAN interface
The LAN interface on the EXPLORER 710 comprises two connectors. If more than one LAN or
WLAN user is connected to the EXPLORER 710, the terminal should be in Router mode. Refer to
Configuring the LAN interface on page 44 and User group settings (LAN and WLAN) on
page 47.
To connect to the LAN (Local Area Network) interface, use a shielded cable mounted with an
RJ-45 connector.
For specifications, refer to LAN interface, 2-port on page 73.
For the LAN interface to work without any further setup, the computer must be set up to
obtain an IP address and a DNS server address automatically.
To connect 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 44.
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 710.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the LAN connectors on the EXPLORER 710.
If the EXPLORER 710 is registered on the BGAN network, and automatic activation is enabled in
the terminal, the connection to the Internet is established automatically. The status text in the
display shows if there is an active data connection.
Important
The ISDN interface and the LAN interface use the same connector type. Be
careful not to connect to the wrong interface.
