Connecting to the Skyus 100 Series Router
Users can connect to the Skyus 100 Series router using either the USB cable or a Wi-Fi connection.
Connecting using USB
To connect using USB (connecting to a host):
Using the USB A to USB Micro-B cable, connect the Micro-B side to the device and the A
side to the host system.
When plugged in to a USB 2.0 port, the device should automatically turn on and be ready
for use in Windows-based (8 or later) or Linux-based (kernel 2.6.32 or later; Ubuntu 14.04 or
later) environments.
NOTE: If the device is not connected through a powered USB port, the device can still
operate via USB while using the 4 Pin power cord to power the device.
To connect using USB (connecting to a device):
Using the appropriate USB cable (Micro-B on the Skyus 100 series device side), connect to
the external device.
With USB OTG, the Skyus 100 series can power the external device using USB 2.0 (5 VDC @
1A), but the Skyus 100 device must be plugged into power using the 4 Pin connector.
This situation is useful when connecting an external USB modem (e.g. Skyus DS, Skyus DS2,
or Skyus SC) for failover and/or load balancing.
Connecting using Ethernet
To connect using Ethernet
1. Connect an ethernet cable from the device to the host system.
2. Connect the device to a power source.
a. If the host system offers PoE or PoE+, the device can be powered by the host system
and pass traffic via ethernet.
b. If PoE or PoE+ is not available from the host system, the device needs to be powered
using the 4 Pin power port.
3. When powered and plugged in, the device should automatically turn on and establish a
connection.
