Connectors and pin allocation
IMPORTANT: You must use either X1 or X2 for LAN, not both!
The EXPLORER 540 has the following connectors/terminals:
• X1: LAN/PoE, Spring-loaded terminals
• X2: LAN/PoE, RJ-45 connector
• X3: SIM card
• X4: DC input, Screw terminals
• X5: I/O, Spring-loaded terminals
• X6: USB, micro B connector
• X7: Chassis GND, Screw terminal

Verifying and troubleshooting the installation
If the LED turns steady yellow, it means the installation failed, e.g. because the terminal was
unable to detect a stable BGAN signal or veriify the network connection.
If you connect a computer locally to the terminal, you can use the built-in web interface to follow
the progress on screen during installation, and to see warning messages in case the installation
failed.
1. Connect your computer to the LAN interface of the EXPLORER 540.
2. Open your browser on the con-
nected computer.
3. Power up the terminal.
4. Access the web interface
at the local IP address (de-
fault192.168.0.1).
5. Enter the user name: User and
password: <serial number of the
terminal>.
