A) Installation in the glove compartment
Antenna and cabling installation
It is recommended to install the antennas as shown in the following
diagram below (please ensure to use the adhesive pads provided).
All connection cables mentioned are to be laid in the glove compartment.
The Wi2U is delivered with a cable set for connection to the on-board
electronics (12V or 24V) and a connection for the cigarette lighter.
Select the right cable and connect it to the corresponding connections in the vehicle. Please ensure that ignition on/off recognition
does not function when connected via the cigarette lighter.
Option 1: (Connection to the cigarette lighter)
Connect the UMTS antenna, and, if required, the optional GPS antenna according to the colour coding of the Fakra connector to the
GPS (optional) UMTS

appropriate connector socket on the Wi2U. Take the cable for the
cigarette lighter and insert the 4-pin connector into the corresponding
socket of the Wi2U. Plug the other end of the cable into the cigarette
lighter socket of your vehicle.
Option 2: (Connection directly to vehicle on-board electrical
system)
Connect the UMTS antenna and the optional GPS antenna according to the colour coding of the Fakra connector to the appropriate
connector socket on the Wi2U. Take the cable for the on-board electronics and insert the 4-pin connector into the corresponding socket
of the Wi2U. Connect the other cable to the on-board electronics of
your vehicle. When doing so, please observe the following connections:
Yellow cable to terminal 15 (ignition on/off)
Red cable to terminal 30 (vehicle battery 12V or 24V)
Black cable to ground

Wi2U mounting
The Wi2U router can either be afxed in the glove compartment by
using the Velcro strips provided, or screwed through the housing bore
in the plastic casing using the screws. When mounting the Wi2U with
the screws provided, the existing device screws must be removed
beforehand. When using the Velcro strips ensure the surface is free
from grease and apply the Velcro strips with high pressure.

Before mounting, please disconnect all connection cables according
to the drawing on the Wi2U router above.
The Wi2U router is precongured to operate only when the ignition is
switched on. The start-up time is approximately 30 seconds.
B) Installation in the boot
The Wi2U router can alternatively be installed in the boot of the vehicle.
1. Afx the UMTS antenna and optional GPS antenna to the inside
of each side window (if possible, one antenna on the left side of the
vehicle, the other on the right side of the vehicle to prevent mutual
interference).
2. Further installation procedures for connections and mounting are
identical to glove compartment installation.

Start-up
1. Insert the SIM card into the
SIM card slot (pictured on the right).
2. Switch on the ignition.
Wi2U will start (Power LED and WLAN LED light up).
3. Establish a WLAN connection to the Wi2U.
The Wi2U is precongured with the following settings:
SSID (Network name)
WPA (TKIP) / WPA2 (AES) (WLAN key)
The device-specic settings can be found on page 23 of this manual
and also labelled on the underside of the device. Use the normal
WLAN application on your computer to connect. Search for a network and click on Connect with the SSID of the Wi2U router. Enter
the WPA2 key.
4. Launch the Internet Browser on your computer and enter the following address http://192.168.1.1 or http://router.wi2u.
The start window of the Wi2U web server will open and you will be
prompted to enter the PIN for your SIM card.
10
After clicking on the „Save“ button, the PIN will be automatically
stored.
This is followed by automatic provider recognition. When you accept
the settings by clicking on the „Yes“ button, these settings are automatically saved to your SIM card and the overview page is displayed.
The settings for the SIM card can later be changed under menu item
Settings/3G UMTS.

Connection name
The settings for your SIM card are administered under a freely denable connection name. By default, this is usually the name of your
provider. The connection name can be changed manually.
Access Point Name (APN)
The Wi2U tries to determine the access settings automatically based
on your SIM card and stores them in the SIM card prole. You can
change the settings here manually.
Roaming
You can switch on data roaming by activating the check box. With
data roaming switched off, the router will not establish a connection
when you are located outside of your home network. By default, roaming is deactivated.

Regulatory Information
CE Approval
The Wi2U router is tested in accordance with the regulatory requirements of the European Union (EU) according to the R&TTE Directive
(1999/5/EC) and complies with all CE marking requirements.
E-Mark Approval
The Wi2U router is certied in accordance with the regulatory
requirements of the European Union (EU) under the EMC Directive
72/245/EEC and 2009/19/EC, as well as the standard ECE R10 324
Rev. 3 for use in vehicles and complies with all E-marking requirements.
The Wi2U router sends out radio signals in normal operation that
can produce interference with other radio-based devices. The device
should therefore be operated only as described in the handbook. The
manufacturer gives no guarantee that interference will not occur with
other devices.

Important Notes
Notes for end user: Any change or modication to the Wi2U router,
which was not explicitly released by an authorised certication body
as conforming to regulatory requirements, may terminate the operating license of the device.
Safety guidelines: Do not operate the Wi2U router in any area where medical equipment, life-saving devices or other devices are used
which are sensitive to interference from radio signals.
Operation in the vehicle: The driver or person operating the vehicle
should not operate the Wi2U router while driving. The operation of
the Wi2U router diverts the attention of the driver from trafc ahead
and control of the vehicle. In some countries, the use of such communication devices while operating a motor vehicle is prohibited. Please observe the country-specic conditions.
Please note: the position of the UMTS antenna should not be operated near another antenna. The UMTS antenna should have a minimum distance of 2 cm from metal and 20 cm distance from the body.
The correct antenna position in the vehicle has a signicant inuence
on connection quality. The existence of an Internet connection is dependent on the use of a mobile tariff with integrated data option.
The transmission speed depends on the infrastructure of the network
operator, the current signal strength and the number of users in a radio cell. The Wi2U router does not have a SIM lock and can therefore
be used with any SIM card with a data tariff.
