2.9 M2M application examples

When an M2M SIM card is installed, the EXPLORER 540 uses the BGAN M2M service (see
BGAN M2M services on page 1-6).
If a PoE switch is not included in the connected M2M equipment, you must provide
power either through the LAN interface with a PoE injector or a PoE switch connected,
or from a battery connected to the DC input. The following sections show examples.
2.9.1 Separate battery supply
Another example is the scenario below, where power is supplied from a separate
battery connected to the DC input of the EXPLORER 540. This solution may be used e.g.
if you want to limit the power consumption, or if a PoE source is not available. For
specifications and pinout for the DC input on the EXPLORER 540, see DC power input
(X4) on page A-4.
For installation instructions, see the supplied EXPLORER 540 Installation guide. Note
that you must use a fused or current-limiting DC power supply (battery).
