To connect a smartphone, do as follows:
The EXPLORER 540 does not have a WLAN interface, so you must connect and set up a
WLAN access point in order to be able to connect your smartphone to the
EXPLORER 540.
To use your phone to make calls through the EXPLORER 540 using WLAN, do as follows:
1. Start up the EXPLORER 540 terminal.
2. Connect your smartphone to a wireless access point connected to the
EXPLORER 540.
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.
Note
You should now be ready to make and receive calls over
BGAN.
First time SIP setup
If it is the first time you connect your phone to the EXPLORER 540 for making calls, you
must first set up the SIP server details in your phone. For information how, see the user
documentation for your phone. You may be asked to enter some of the following
details:
• SIP server address and port: Default address: 192.168.0.1, Port: 5060
• User name: Local number in EXPLORER 540 (0501 to 0516)
• Password: Default same as user name
• Codec priority: Highest priority codec type: G.711

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.
The user name and password must match the IP handset settings in the
EXPLORER 540. See To manage VoIP phones or smartphones on page C-8.
