Getting started
Switching on the terminal
To switch on the terminal, use the Power switch in the connector panel. It
normally takes one or two seconds for the terminal to switch on.
If a switch for the remote on/off function is installed, you may leave the power
switch in the “on” position and use the remote switch to turn the terminal on
and off. For further information on the remote on/off function, refer to the
installation manual for the SAILOR FleetBroadband systems.
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. This normally requires that you enter a SIM PIN. For further
information, see Entering the SIM PIN for the terminal on page 24 and
Connecting to the BGAN network on page 27.
To switch off the terminal tip the Power switch back, or use the remote on/off
function mentioned above. It takes 5 to 10 seconds to power down the
terminal.
