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
the web interface before you can access the Internet. However, you can enable automatic
activation of a data connection. See To set up the connection mode on page 47.
To start and stop data connections on your EXPLORER 510, do as follows:
1. On your smartphone, start the EXPLORER Connect app and select Terminal access, or
on the connected device, open your browser and type the IP address of the terminal
(default IP address: 192.168.0.1) in the address bar to access the web interface.
2. Click
 on the connection you want to start. For details, see To control data connections
from web interface (BGAN) on page 34.
Cellular connection: If you are using the optional cellular connection with the EXPLORER
Cellular Modem, the data connection is started automatically when the cellular connection is
established. For details, see Optional: To set up cellular network for data on page 64.
