Chapter 2: Getting started
Using a remote on/off switch
Note
In the 19" Rack version of the terminal the remote on/off function is
normally not available, because it is used for the front switch.
If an external switch is connected to the remote on/off pins in the DC
connector, you may leave the power switch in the connector panel in the "on"
position and use the remote switch to turn the terminal on and off. When the
remote switch is off, the terminal is off. However, if you leave the power switch
on the terminal in the "on" position, you can always switch the terminal back
on with the remote switch. The standby current when the remote switch is off
is max. 2 mA. For further information on the remote on/off function, refer to
the installation manual for the TracPhone systems.
Power up completed
When the terminal is switched on, the Power indicator in the LED panel of the
terminal lights green.
You can now access the terminal settings, but the terminal is not ready for
making calls or running data sessions until the system is registered on the
BGAN network. You may have to enter a SIM PIN before the system can
register. For further information, see Entering the SIM PIN for the terminal on
page 29 and Registering with the BGAN network on page 33.
To switch off the terminal flip the Power switch back. It takes 5 to 10 seconds
to power down the terminal. Alternatively use the ignition or remote on/off
function described above.
