To connect a phone
Your smartphone or IP handset can be set up to make and receive calls over the BGAN network,
using the terminal’s phone number.
To connect your smartphone for making calls
To use your phone to make calls through the EXPLORER 510 using WLAN, do as follows:
1. Start up the EXPLORER 510 terminal.
2. Connect your smartphone to the wireless access
point of the EXPLORER 510.
See To connect your WLAN-enabled device on
page 8.
3. Start the EXPLORER Connect app and select
Satellite Phone (or start another SIP application).
If it is the first time you use the EXPLORER Connect
app, you must select Register when prompted.
You should now be ready to make and receive calls over BGAN.
For details on initial setup of your smartphone and the
EXPLORER 510, see First time SIP setup on page 16.

• First time SIP setup on page 16

Note
Make sure your phone has an integrated SIP client. Cobham SATCOM offers the
EXPLORER Connect app with a built-in SIP client that is ready to use with the
EXPLORER 510. You can also find other SIP applications on the Internet.
Note
If you are using the EXPLORER Connect app for the
first time, make sure that Enable Reception of
Incoming Calls is selected in the settings page of
the EXPLORER Connect app. This is to prevent your
smartphone from closing the WLAN connection when
not in use. This is necessary in order to be able to
receive calls on your smartphone.
