PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Descriptions of LEDs
The top panel contains the following LEDs:
Power and Status LEDs—The Power LED indicates that DC power is present and the Status LED blinks when
the unit is functioning normally.
Modem LEDs—Two modem LEDs indicate carrier detection and link status.
Signal LEDs—Three signal LEDs display the signal strength level of the wireless connection.
Ethernet LEDs—These LEDs are not on the top panel. See the section Ethernet LED Descriptions for
descriptions of these LEDs.
LED Indicators
POWER Indicates presence of DC power when lit.
STATUS The LED is a solid light when the device is booting up, saving the configuration, restarting,
or updating the firmware. When the Status LED begins to blink, the router is ready for use.
CD Carrier Detect. When lit, indicates data connection has been established.
LS Link Status
(for LVW2 only, not LAT1 and LEU1)
OFF — No power to the cellular radio
Continuously Lit — Not registered
Slow Blink (-0.2Hz) — Registered or connected
SIGNAL Signal strength for cellular (RSSI range: 0 - 31)
ALL OFF — Unit is off, not registered on network, or extremely weak signal (0 <= RSSI <
6).
1 Bar “ON” — Very weak signal (7 <= RSSI <14).
1 Bar and 2 Bar “ON” — Weak signal (15 <= RSSI <23).
1 Bar, 2 Bar, and 3 Bar “ON” — Good signal (24 <= RSSI >= 31).
Ethernet LED Descriptions
Two Ethernet LEDs are physically on the RJ-45 connector(s). The table that follows describes these LEDs.
Ethernet Link Right LED on Ethernet connector. Blinks when there is transmit and receive
activity on the Ethernet link. It shows a steady light when there is a valid
Ethernet connection.
Ethernet Speed Left LED on Ethernet connector. Lit when the Ethernet is linked at 100 Mbps.
If it is not lit, the Ethernet is linked at 10 Mbps.

MultiConnect®rCell 100 MTR-LTE User Guide 19
SAFETY WARNINGS
Do not place the device alongside computer discs, credit or travel cards, or other magnetic media. The
information contained on discs or cards may be affected by the device.
Using accessories, such as antennas, that MultiTech has not authorized or that are not compliant with
MultiTech's accessory specifications may invalidate the warranty.
If the device is not working properly, contact MultiTech Technical Support.
Vehicle Safety
When using your device in a vehicle:
Do not use this device while driving.
Respect national regulations on the use of cellular devices in vehicles.
If incorrectly installed in a vehicle, operating the wireless device could interfere with the vehicle’s
electronics. To avoid such problems, use qualified personnel to install the device. The installer should verify
the vehicle electronics are protected from interference.
Using an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or horn is not permitted on public roads.
UL evaluated this device for use in ordinary locations only. UL did NOT evaluate this device for installation in
a vehicle or other outdoor locations. UL Certification does not apply or extend to use in vehicles or outdoor
applications.
Radio Frequency (RF) Safety
Due to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference, it is important that you follow any special regulations
regarding the use of radio equipment. Follow the safety advice given below.
Operating your device close to other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment is
inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.
Different industries and businesses restrict the use of cellular devices. Respect restrictions on the use of
radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in process. Follow
restrictions for any environment where you operate the device.
Do not place the antenna outdoors.
Switch OFF your wireless device when in an aircraft. Using portable electronic devices in an aircraft may
endanger aircraft operation, disrupt the cellular network, and is illegal. Failing to observe this restriction
may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.
Switch OFF your wireless device when around gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps and before filling your vehicle
with fuel.
Switch OFF your wireless device in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in use.
Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices
Potential interference
Radio frequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is
electromagnetic interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the
Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.
20 MultiConnect®rCell 100 MTR-LTE User Guide
SAFETY WARNINGS
The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference
occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
Precautions for pacemaker wearers
If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:
Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm.
Cause the pacemaker to deliver the pulses irregularly.
Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart's own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate.
Based on current research, cellular devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers.
However, people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device doesn't cause
a problem.
Keep the device on the opposite side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance between the
pacemaker and the device.
Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker (for example, don’t carry the device in a shirt or
jacket pocket directly over the pacemaker).
Notice regarding Compliance with FCC, EU, and Industry Canada
Requirements for RF Exposure
The antenna intended for use with this unit meets the requirements for mobile operating configurations and for
fixed mounted operations, as defined in 2.1091 of the FCC rules for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This device
also meets the European RF exposure requirements of EN 62311. If an alternate antenna is used, consult user
documentation for required antenna specifications.
Compliance of the device with the FCC, EU and IC rules regarding RF Exposure was established and is given with
the maximum antenna gain as specified above for a minimum distance of 20 cm between the devices radiating
structures (the antenna) and the body of users. Qualification for distances closer than 20 cm (portable operation)
would require re-certification.
Wireless devices could generate radiation. Other nearby electronic devices, like microwave ovens, may also
generate additional radiation to the user causing a higher level of RF exposure.

ANTENNA INFORMATION
Chapter 4 – Antenna Information
Antenna System Cellular Devices
The cellular/wireless performance depends on the implementation and antenna design. The integration of the
antenna system into the product is a critical part of the design process; therefore, it is essential to consider it early
so the performance is not compromised. If changes are made to the device's certified antenna system, then
recertification will be required by specific network carriers.
The antenna system is defined as the UFL connection point from the gateway to the specified cable specifications
and specified antenna specifications.

Chapter 5 – Installing the Router
Installing the Router
1. To use the router’s cellular features, connect two suitable antennas to both the CELL and AUX
connectors.
2. You must use diversity because this device requires two antennas.
3. Using an Ethernet cable, connect one end of the cable to the E-NET connector on the back of the router
and the other end to your computer, either directly or through a switch or hub.
4. If you are connecting to a serial interface, connect the DE-9 connector (9-pin) of the RS-232 cable to the
RS-232 connector on the router. Then connect the other end to the serial port on the desired device.
5. Some routers support the use of a GPS receiver. If you are using a GPS receiver with the router, attach
the GPS cable to the GPS connector on the router.
6. Attach a power cable to your power supply module.
7. Screw-on the power lead from the power supply module into the power connection on the router.
8. Plug the power supply into your power source.
