To configure the connected equipment for PPPoE
On the equipment connected to the EXPLORER 540 you must enter a few settings for
your PPPoE connection. For example you need to set up which service to use (e.g.
64 kbps Streaming) and a user name and password. How to configure your equipment
depends on the type of equipment. Refer to the user documentation of the equipment.
The user name and password can be left blank (or insert user name: void and
password: void). Then the registration on the Access Point is most commonly done in
such a way that the data connection is established with a dynamic IP address from the
airtime provider.
Note for MAC OS: User name and password are required. For some service providers
you can use user name void and password void. Contact your airtime provider for
further information.
To request a static IP (if subscribed to) from the Access Point you must type in the user
name and password from your airtime subscription.
On the EXPLORER 540 you must set up the APN to use before you can establish a
PPPoE connection. See To change the APN for PPPoE (BGAN only) on page 4-20.
To send commands with PPPoE
You can use the command XBB:<AT String> to send AT commands over PPPoE.
Example: To start a Standard data connection with the Context identifier "1", type
Note that there are two commands involved, +CGDCONT and +CGEQREQ.
+CGDCONT defines the context ID (1), the connection type (IP) and the APN
(bgan.inmarsat.com).
+CGEQREQ starts a data connection for the defined context ID (1) using traffic class
Standard data (3).
Note that because the traffic class is 3 (Standard data), the remaining parameters
(max. and guaranteed bit rates etc.) are omitted. See also Context management AT
commands on page B-18.
No further configuration is needed to make a Standard IP data connection to the
Internet.
See the table below for information on how to configure specific services for your
PPPoE connection.
If you need a certain service, for example a Streaming class (not available in M2M
subscription), you must type in a specified text string when asked for a service name.
The following table shows the service names supported by the terminal.
