2. At Internet connection mode, select Modem mode or Router mode. Router mode

is the default setting and is recommended for most purposes.

• Select Router mode if one or more computers are connected and the EXPLORER 510

should act as a router. When Router mode is selected, the EXPLORER 510 uses the built-

in NAT module for making the necessary address translations.

• Select Modem mode if only one computer is connected, and the EXPLORER 510

should act as a modem, or more than one computer is connected using an external

router.

3. Under Local IP address, type in a new IP address if you want to change the Local IP

address of the terminal. This is the address used to access the web interface. The default IP

address is 192.168.0.1.

4. To enable automatic activation of your data connection, select Automatic activation.

•When you select automatic activation and connect to the WLAN interface, the data

connection is automatically established as soon as the EXPLORER 510 and its BGAN

connection are ready.

•When you disable automatic activation (default), you can control the data connection

manually from the startup page  .

5. Under DHCP, select DHCP Enabled (recommended for most purposes).

•If you select DHCP Enabled, the terminal assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices

connected to the terminal.

•If disable DHCP, you need to set up a static IP address in the connected device.

1. Note that in modem mode the local IP address is assigned by the external network (see drawing

in the beginning of this section), so when the terminal is connected to the external network you

cannot access the web interface with the usual local IP address. When the external network

is disconnected, the local IP address falls back to the address mentioned in step 3. (next step).

Note

Do not connect more than one computer in Modem mode, unless you have an

external router.

Note

If the EXPLORER 510 is in modem mode and connected to the BGAN network

(see previous step), you cannot use this address to access the web

interface, because the network dynamically assigns the IP address for the

EXPLORER 510.

So to access the web interface in modem mode, you must do one of the

following:

• Access the web interface when there is no data connection on the BGAN

network

• Check the IP address of your connected equipment and add 1 to the last

number. This is the IP address to access the web interface. (See the drawing

in the previous page).

Note

You are charged for the data transferred. You may want to disable automatic

updates in your WLAN device to avoid unnecessary charges.
