F8X14 IP MODEM is a kind of data terminal device that provides data transfer function by
public cellular network and ZigBee network.
It adopts high-powered industrial 32 bits CPU and embedded real time operating system. It
supports RS232, RS485 (or RS422) and ZigBee port that can conveniently and transparently
connect one device to a cellular network, allowing you to connect to your existing serial and
ZigBee devices with only basic configuration. It has low power consumption states in which the
power consumption could be 1ower than 1mA@12VDC. It has compatible digital I/O channel,
ADC, input pulse counter and pulse wave output function.
It has been widely used on M2M fields, such as intelligent transportation, smart grid,
industrial automation, telemetry, finance, POS, water supply, environment protection, post,
weather, and so on.

Installation of SIM/UIM card:
Firstly power off the IP MODEM, and press the out button of the SIM/UIM card outlet with a
needle object. Then the SIM/UIM card sheath will flick out at once. Put SIM/UIM card into the
card sheath (Pay attention to put the side which has metal point outside), and insert card sheath
back to the SIM/UIM card outlet.
Warning: Forbid to install SIM/UIM card when powered!
Installation of antenna:
Screw the SMA male pin of the antenna to the female SMA outlet of the IP MODEM tightly.
Warning: The antenna must be screwed tightly, or the signal quality of antenna will be influenced!

2.4 Power
The power range of the IP MODEM is DC 5~35V. When we use other power, we should make
sure that the power can supply power above 4W.
We recommend user to use the standard DC 12V/0.5A power adaptor.
2.5 Indicator Lights Introduction
The IP MODEM provides three indicator lights: “Power”, “ACT”, “Online”.
