SKYUS 100 SERIES USER GUIDE MKT-00034 Rev 2 20

Installation Precautions and Guidelines

As you determine the mounting location and prepare to install the device, be sure to heed the following precautions and guidelines:

Locate the router in an area free from liquids, dust, and extreme temperatures. If it is possible for the device to experience contact with fluids, extreme mechanical shock, or extreme thermal conditions (outside of the thermal specs listed in this User Guide), you run the risk of damaging the device and/or the battery. If the battery is subject to these conditions, the battery may fail and cause significant damage to the device and the surrounding area.

Store the router back in its box when not in use.

Do not block any ventilation openings by applying adhesives or labels to the router as this might cause the device to overheat or it might interfere with antenna performance.

Clean only with a clean, dry cloth.

Protect the cord from being crushed or pinched.

Take care to locate and route cords and wires to minimize the risk of damaged caused by users or other objects that are located near the device.

Avoid dropping or shaking the router to reduce the risk of damaging the device or disrupting operation.

SKYUS 100 SERIES USER GUIDE MKT-00034 Rev 2 21

Mounting Methods

WARNING! While performing these steps, do not apply excessive force to the mounting brackets

as this may cause the tabs to fail. Installation is recommended to be completed by a professional.

Installation

SKYUS 100 SERIES USER GUIDE MKT-00034 Rev 2 22

Mounting Equipment

Two (2) #4 or #6 screws

Double-sided tape (3M VHB or similar)

Mounting Instructions - Screws

CAUTION!

If using rigid mounting hardware, apply pressure only to the ends of the device.

Limit the mounting pressure only to the amount needed to secure the device.

1. Identify the optimal installation location. Make sure you consider the physical space

requirements of the device, any needed connectors, cables, and antennas. In addition, make sure you consider mounting location to optimize cellular coverage.

2. Identify the optimal mounting equipment. Depending on installation location, you may want

to select wood screws, metal self-tapping screws, drywall anchors, concrete anchors, or others.

3. Locate and install a screw for Hole 1. Make sure the screw head remains 1/8” (3mm) away

from the wall.

4. Install the device onto the screw using Hole 1 and slide the device all the way the slot of Hole

5. Install a screw into the mounting surface through Hole 2. Tighten screw to 5 in-lbs. to ensure

a snug fit. Take caution to ensure the device will be installed level.

6. Install the final screw into the mounting surface through Hole 3. Tighten screw to 5 in-lbs. to

ensure a snug fit.

Double-Sided Tape

CAUTION! If securing the device using double-sided tape or a method not described in this

manual, note the following precautions:

Using adhesive tape may cause damage to the device or battery door when removed from its install location.

Ensure the device and the installation surface is free of debris and is cleaned and allowed to dry using a rubbing alcohol solution prior to application.

Connecting to the Device

SKYUS 100 SERIES USER GUIDE MKT-00034 Rev 2 24

Powering the Device

When a power source is connected, the Skyus 100 Series powers up automatically. When loaded with an active SIM, it may take up to two minutes for the device to power up and register on the cellular network.

Turning on the Device

To power on the device using an external power source:

Connect the device to a power source. The LEDs will all blink white, signaling the device is starting up. When LEDs stabilize with

green/yellow/blue/red colors, the device is ready for use. The power button should be green showing the device has sufficient external power.

To power on the device without an external power source (using the battery):

Press and hold the power button on the front of the device until the LEDs start blinking.

The LEDs will all blink white, signaling the device is starting up. When LEDs stabilize with

green/yellow/blue/red colors, the device is ready for use. The power button should show

blue/yellow/red to indicate battery level status.

SKYUS 100 SERIES USER GUIDE MKT-00034 Rev 2 25

Positioning Your Device

The size and mounting options allow this device to be installed in the location that suits your needs because the reception and coverage range depends on where you place your router. The placement of furniture, the thickness of walls, and the number of walls a signal must travel through can limit cellular, Wi-Fi, and BLUETOOTH range.

For best results, place your router:

away from interference such as microwaves, ceiling fans, security systems, or cordless phones

away from large containers of glass or concrete (fish tanks, mirrors, brick or concrete walls)

away from large metal surfaces (cook tops, metal doors, aluminum studs, appliances)

close to a window but out of the way of direct sunlight (great for 4G LTE reception)

close to an AC outlet and near Ethernet computer cables

in an elevated location

in line-of-sight to wireless devices

near the computers or other devices that communicate with the router

on an upper floor (if applicable)

NOTE: When using multiple points of access, use different radio frequency channels for adjacent

access points. We recommend leaving 5 spaces between channels (e.g. 1 and 6, or 3 and 8).

SKYUS 100 SERIES USER GUIDE MKT-00034 Rev 2 26

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.

SKYUS 100 SERIES USER GUIDE MKT-00034 Rev 2 27

Connecting using Wi-Fi

To connect using Wi-Fi:

Ensure the Skyus 100 Series router is powered on. Connect to the router using the SSID and Password information provided on the label. It is strongly recommended to change the SSID and Password from the default for security

reasons after initial use. Make sure to save the updated information in a secure location.

Connecting using Bluetooth

NOTE: This feature is currently being developed and will only be available for Bluetooth enabled models

(Skyus 110B and Skyus 140B).
