Making an ISDN data connection

Voice, audio and data can be sent and received via the ISDN interface on the terminal. To make
use of this service, you must program an MSN number into the equipment, enter the MSN number
of the equipment type into BGAN LaunchPad, and connect the equipment to the ISDN port of the
terminal.
Note The ISDN interface on the EXPLORER 700 comprises two connectors and supports
connection of up to 8 devices simultaneously. However, if you are going to connect more
than one device per interface, the devices must be self-powered. The ISDN interface can
supply a maximum 1W.
To set up and connect to the ISDN interface:
a. Program an MSN (Mobile Subscriber Number) into the equipment. Refer to the documentation
supplied with your equipment for details.

following screen displays:
c. Check the Enable interface check box to enable both ISDN interfaces.
d. Check the Power interface check box to enable 38v power. This option applies to both
interfaces. If the connected ISDN data device is self-powered, you do not need to the check this
option.
e. Check the Dual interface check box to enable connection of another BGAN terminal to one of
the ports.
f. From the Select Interface drop-down list, select either 1 or 2 depending on the interface you
want to set up.
