2.2.1 Attaching the COR to the Mounting Bracket
1) Attach the bracket to the wall or other surface with screws.
NOTE: Screws are not provided because the type of screw required
depends on the mounting surface.
2) Place the router’s edge
against the bottom of the
bracket.
3) Press the router down
firmly, then push it inside
the bracket. It should
latch.
2. INSTALL
2.1 LOCATION- DRY/INDOORS
1) Attach the bracket to the wall (indoors, dry location) or other surface with screws.
NOTE: Screws are not provided because the type of screw required depends on the
mounting surface.
2.2. ATTACHING THE MCS-WIRELESS-3G TO
THE MOUNTING BRACKET
2) Place the router’s edge against the bottom of the
bracket.
3) Press the router down rmly, then push it inside
the bracket. It should latch.

3. REMOVING FROM MOUNTING BRACKET
3.1 Removing the MCS-WIRELESS-3G from the Mounting Bracket
From the top of the bracket, press down rmly on the router using your thumb(s)
and pull the device out.

4. BASIC SETUP
4.1 QUICK START
Attach the modem antennas, thumb tight only.
4.2 CONNECT TO MCS-MAGNUM
4.3 NETWORK ADDRESS ON MCS-MAGNUM
THE NETWORK ADDRESS FOR YOUR
NEW MCS-WIRELESS-3G HAS BEEN
FACTORY SET AND IS SUPPLIED WITH THE UNIT.
YOU MUST SET THE NETWORK ADDRESS ON YOUR
CONTROLLER TO MATCH THIS FACTORY ADDRESS.
4.4 CONNECTING CROSS OVER CABLE
Connect the end of the supplied CROSSOVER ETHERNET CABLE
to the ETHERNET DATA SOURCE connector on the rear of the
MCS-WIRELESS-3G and the other end to the IO port on the
MCS-MAGNUM CONTROLLER.
4.5 POWER SUPPLY
Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet and connect it to the router.
Make sure the power is switched on.
O = OFF
I = ON
4.6 ACTIVATE YOUR MODEM
Ethernet Cross Over
Cable supplied
A wireless broadband data plan has been added to your MCS-WIRELESS-3G
through Verizon Wireless. THIS IS A FACTORY PRE-INSTALL.
If there are any problems or questions about the intallation of the data plan,
please consult MCS support at: support@mcscontrols.com

5. MUPLIPLE CONNECTIONS
5.1 ETHERNET SWITCH (NOT SUPPLIED)
An Ethernet switch, provides a central connection in an Ethernet network in which each
connected device has its own dedicated link with full bandwidth. Switches divide LAN
data into smaller, easier-to-manage segments and receive data from the controller. As a result, every port on the switch represents a dedicated 10- or 100-Mbps
pathway. Because users connected to a switch do not have to share bandwidth, a switch
offers relief from the network congestion a shared hub can cause.
5.2 CONNECTING TO MULTIPLE MCS-MAGNUMS
With the NEW MCS-WIRELESS-3G you can connect multiple MCS-MAGNUMS
to the MCS-WIRELESS-3G Modem using an Ethernet Switch (not supplied) that will
enable you to communicate with each MCS-MAGNUM anywhere in the Continental
United States as long as your MCS-WIRELESS-3G is hard wired to an existing
ethernet network. (see wiring diagram on page 9).
