because the risk of disturbing the GSM network or external devices or having impact on the security.
Should there be any doubt, please refer to the technical documentation and the regulations in force.
Every unit has to be equipped with a proper antenna with specific characteristics. The antenna has
to be installed with care in order to avoid any interference with other electronic devices and has to
guarantee a minimum distance from the body (20 cm/8”). In case this requirement cannot be
satisfied, the system integrator should assess the final product against the SAR regulation.
The European Community provides some Directives for the electronic equipment introduced on the
market. All the relevant information available on the European Community website:

Disposal of waste by users in private households within the European Union
According to Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Union on waste electrical
and electronic equipment (WEEE) this product must not be disposed off with
your other household waste, it is your responsibility to dispose of your waste
by taking it to a collection point designated for the recycling of electrical and
electronic appliances.
Separate collection and recycling of your waste at the time of disposal will
contribute to conserving natural resources and guarantee recycling that
respects the environment and human health.
For further information concerning your nearest recycling centre, please contact your nearest local
authority/town hall offices.
Installation
Mechanical
The device must be installed in a location that is sufficiently ventilated so that there is no risk of
internal heating. Place the device against a flat, firm and stable surface. It is not recommendable to
install the device on a strongly vibrating surface. Suitable dampening and/or isolation materials
should be used in cases where the installation surface will be subjected to vibration.
Electrical (wiring)
To prevent damage both the device and any terminal devices must always be switched OFF before
connecting or disconnecting the connection cable. Before connecting any power cables the output
voltage of the power supply should be checked.
The product has no disconnecting device. An external disconnecting device must be installed. This
must be close to the equipment.
The product has to be supplied with a stabilized voltage source and the wiring has to be conforming
to the security and fire prevention regulations.
Antenna
The device’s antenna must be free and at least 10 cm away from any conducting material. When the
antenna is installed outside, it is essential to connect the cable screen to the building’s earth. We
recommend using lightning protection. The protection kit chosen must permit the coaxial cable to
be earthed (eg: coaxial lightning arrester with earthing of the cable at different places on the antenna
at the base of pylons and at the entry, or just before entering the premises).

1.3.1.1
SMA antenna connector placed on front panel is used to connect external GSM. To establish
connection with GSM network an external antenna must be used. Type of antenna depends on GSM
coverage. In good circumstances (level of received signal is high) use antenna which is attached in
the package. If range of GSM is low or none, an outdoor directional/omnidirectional or indoor (for
instance in place where GSM range is sufficient) antenna should be used.
Note: If there is no antenna connected to SMA connector, the connection with GSM network is
impossible.

After you connect all necessary cables (see Setting up the modem Setting up the modem) you can
set up connection. Connect UTP cable to your computer and go to Internet protocol TCP/IP
properties (Network connections -> Local Area Connection ->Internet protocol TCP/IP->
Properties) and set your IP address as 192.168.1.x. Please read how to change TCP/IP settings of
your network card in this thread (for Windows 7):
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-tcp-ip-settings#1TC=windows-7
Now modem will connect your computer and its configuration page can be seen by going to default
IP address in your browser 192.168.1.234.
3.2.2 Modem status page
Go to your web browser and put IP address 192.168.1.234. You will be asked for username and
password. By default it is:
Username: admin
Password: 12345
If everything is configured correctly you should see following screen:

On ISP Master page you can define internet connection parameters (APN, username, password,
CSD, ISP IP and Modem band) for one or two SIM cards (depending on modem version). To use
internet you should know those parameters - they are essential for getting access to internet. The
parameters should be ensured by your mobile network provider. You can find them by contacting
your GSM network provider or visiting its website.
To enter the PIN for SIM card you need to mark “Enable” field and then fill the field below with
correct PIN. Outgoing calls are made always on MASTER SIM card.
3.2.5 WiFi network
“WiFi network” tab is available only in U/L/H with WiFi option. In this menu you can set parameters
of your WiFi connection. To scan all available networks please use “Scanning” button. You will
redirect to a page with a list of networks. You can set a WiFi mode (Access point or Station), fill a
