Optional: To set up cellular network for data
The EXPLORER 510 is a BGAN terminal by default. However, if you are within coverage of a
cellular network, you may want to acquire an EXPLORER Cellular Modem as an alternative to
the BGAN network. Note that you need a separate SIM card for the cellular network, the
EXPLORER 510 SIM card can only be used for the BGAN network.
To enable the EXPLORER 510 to use the cellular network, do as follows:
1. Acquire an EXPLORER Cellular Modem from Cobham SATCOM.
2. Insert your cellular SIM card into the modem and plug the modem into the USB connector
on the EXPLORER 510.
3. Connect your computer, smartphone or tablet to the EXPLORER 510, e.g. using WLAN (see
To connect your WLAN-enabled device on page 8).
4. Start the EXPLORER Connect app and select Terminal Access, or access the web
interface.
5. Depending on the configuration you may have to select the cellular network by clicking
the signal bars
 in the top right corner and selecting the EXPLORER Cellular Modem.
For details on Cellular/BGAN network selection, see Startup mode (select network) on
page 47.
6. When the modem is connected, the opening page of the web interface shows a new tile
with the cellular connection.
Note
The EXPLORER 510 does not provide automatic switch-over between BGAN and
cellular network, so you have to select the network you want to use.
