RF Exposure Compliance
The use of this device in any other type of host configuration may not
comply with the RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. During
operation, a 20-cm separation distance should be maintained between
the antenna, whether extended or retracted, and the user’s/bystander’s
body (excluding hands, wrists, feet, and ankles) to ensure RF exposure
compliance.
Caution
Change or modification without the express consent of RF Industries voids
the user’s authority to use the equipment. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in an
appropriate installation. The modem is a transmitting device with similar
output power to a mobile phone. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not used in accordance with
instructions, can cause harmful radiation to radio communication.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call
quality, damage the device, or result in violation of RF exposure
regulations.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
installation. If the equipment does cause harmful interference in radio and
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
▪ Re-orient or relocate the receiving radio or TV antenna
▪ Increase the separation distance between the equipment and
the receiver
▪ Contact Maxon Australia Technical Support for assistance.
Notes The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by Maxon Australia could void the warrantee.
* The product needs to be supplied by a limited power source
or the power supply provided. Otherwise, safety will not be en
sured
Potentially Unsafe Areas
Posted Facilities: Turn off this device in any facility or area when
posted notices require you to do so.
Blasting Areas: Turn off your device where blasting is in progress.
Observe restrictions and follow any regulations or rules.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres: Turn off your device when you are
in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or
fire, resulting in bodily injury or death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not
always clearly marked. They include:
▪ Fueling areas such as gas or petrol stations
▪ Below deck on boats
▪ Transfer or storage facilities for fuel or chemicals
▪ Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane or
butane
▪ Areas when the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,
dust or metal powders
▪ Avoid using the modem in areas that emit electromagnetic
waves or enclosed metallic structures e.g. lifts or any other area
where you would normally be advised to turn off your engine

Installation and Cable Connection
SIM card Installation
Power off the router, and press the eject button next to the SIM card tray with a
small tool such as a ballpoint pen. The SIM card tray will eject from inside of the
modem. Place the SIM card into the SIM card tray (ensure the SIM card is
properly put into the tray), and then insert the SIM card tray back into the SIM
card outlet.
Antenna Installation
Attach the cellular antenna (with SMA male connector) into the female SMA
interface on the router labelled “ANT”.
Attach the WIFI antenna (with SMA female connector) into the male SMA
interface on the router labelled “WIFI”.
RS232 Interface
The router supports an RS232 interface that utilises an RJ45 connector and is
labelled as “Console” on the router.
If required, plug the RJ45 end of the serial cable into the RS232 port on the router
and plug the DB9F end of the serial cable into the serial interface of the user’s
device.
The pin connections of the RJ45-DB9F serial cable are as follows:

Reset Button
The modems “Reset” button is used to restore the modem to its original factory
default settings. To restore the router to factory default settings, the user needs to
press the “Reset” button and hold it in for 15s, the router will then restore its original
factory default settings and restart automatically. Note that the reset button is
recessed to prevent accidental resets – to press, use a small tool such as a
ballpoint pen.
Configuration and Management
Datamax 4G is configured via a web interface. To access the Datamax 4G web
interface users will need a computer with a spare Ethernet LAN port. The LAN card
configuration should have the Internet Protocol TCP/IP set to obtain an IP Address
and DNS server address automatically.
To check these settings, users need to go to LAN adaptor properties and check
their Internet Protocol TCP/IP settings, it should look as follows:
Connection Steps:
1. Connect the Ethernet cable supplied with Datamax router to your
computer Ethernet LAN port and a “LAN” port on the Datamax
2. Computer will get an IP address from the Datamax DHCP range
automatically.
3. In web browser type 192.168.0.1 in the Address (URL) field (The Default IP
Address of the Ethernet port is 192.168.0.1). The router will prompt to
change the login credentials, the default username and password are
both “admin”.
4. After providing the correct credentials, users access to the
information main page. It is strongly recommended that users at least
change the access password to avoid security risk.
