The light indicator (LED) between the two cable glands shows the status during
startup.
• Green flashing rapidly: Starting up
• Yellow flashing: BGAN pointing
2. When the LED flashes yellow and you hear the pointing sound, you can start
pointing the antenna.
3. Turn and tilt the EXPLORER 540
until you have obtained the
highest possible signal strength
(when the pointing sound is
continuous you have the optimum
signal, see the next section Audio
assisted pointing).
4. Tighten the screws to fix the
EXPLORER 540 in the pointed
position.
When the signal has been stable
for about 60 seconds
attempts to register on the network and verify the satellite connection (LED
flashing green).
5. When installation is completed successfully, the LED turns steady green and then,
after a few minutes, the light goes off. If you have enabled Automatic Context
Activation, the data connection is established automatically.

EXPLORER 540 from a remote location, see To access the terminal from a remote
location on page 3-4.
After successful installation, the EXPLORER 540 will automatically register on the
BGAN network at every power-up and, if Automatic Context Activation is enabled,
establish a data connection again. This is also the case following one of the "wake-on"
actions after power save.
1. If you have a computer connected to the EXPLORER 540, you can follow the process
in the web interface, see To restart the installation process (BGAN) on page 4-12.
2. If the terminal detects a signal but the signal is not stable, it will stop the pointing
process after 8 minutes and proceed with the installation process. If no signal is
detected within 10 minutes, the pointing and installation process will stop and the
installation status will be shown as failed.

CAUTION!
When the connection is established, keep the minimum
safety distance of 1 m/ 3.2 ft from the antenna front
face. The antenna radiates microwave power as soon as
the pointing procedure is completed.
The LED is off after successful installation. The LED only comes on again
during reboot or if you restart installation.
If the LED is steady yellow after pointing, it means the installation failed.
