Prerequisites
Ensure that you have the following items
ready before installing your terminal:
•
Active Internet access from a telephone
service provider (3G/4G data package).
•
Configuration settings for the SIM card(s) see below.
•
Computer configured for DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol, see appendix).
REQUIRED SIM CONFIGURATION
Depending on how your SIM card(s) are
configured, you will need one or more configuration settings to connect your terminal
to the Internet:
•
APN setting (Access Point Name).
•
PIN code (Personal Identification Number).
Your telephone service provider should have
given you all the necessary information to
enable you to connect to the Internet. Please
contact your service provider if you cannot find
this information.
Getting started
Your terminal can be configured in five steps:
➊
Insert the SIM card(s).
➋
Connect the terminal.
➌
Install the terminal on its mounting.
➍
Configure the terminal.
➎
Connect to internet.
Ask your telephone service provider for your
SIM card’s configuration settings before you
start.
Ensure that you check the network coverage and compare the offers available
from different service providers.
Stay at least 20 cm away from
the terminal when it is switched on.
INSERTING THE SIM CARD
Follow the steps below to insert either of
the SIM cards into your terminal.
This terminal is designed to accept one or
two Mini SIM cards.
Using an incompatible SIM card may
damage your terminal or your card.
➊
Switch the device off.
➋
Unscrew the center cover to access the
SIM card slots.
➌
Insert the SIM card into its slot. The chip
must be positioned with its cut-off edge
facing towards the terminal, as shown in
the figure below. When using only one chip,
insert it in the slot marked "1".
➍
Screw the cover back on.
➎
Switch the device back on.
8
Inserting a second SIM card:
REMOVING THE SIM CARD
Follow the steps below to remove either of
the SIM cards from your terminal.
➊
Switch the device off.
➋
Unscrew the center cover.
➌
Push in then release the SIM card to remove
it from the slot.
➍
Screw the cover back on.
➎
Switch the device back on.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The terminal can be powered in two ways:
•
Power supply through the 12-24 V DC
socket.
•
24 VDC Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection using a passive injector.
Stay at least 20 cm away from the terminal when it is switched on.
If you have the PoE option, do not connect the PoE injector and the standard
power supply at the same time.
For passive PoE power supply, do not
connect/disconnect the power cable when
the injector is on.
Before installing the terminal blocks and
plugging in, the cable(s) used must be
threaded through the cover’s grommet (one
cable per gland).
The grommets are delivered unpierced. The
cable must be pushed through to open the
grommet at the center. When using PoE, do
not puncture the unused grommet.
Never remove the SIM card when the
terminal is switched on, as this may
damage the card and/or the terminal.
EMI Suppressor Ferrites must be installed on
each cable, at the output of the device.
Typical Impedance on each cable:
3 kOhm at 100 MHz
1.5 kOhm at 25 MHz
(e.g. 12 ferrites No. 7427007 from Würth
Elektronik).

➌
Plug the end of the cable into your PoE
injector’s Power+Data ("PD") port. Install
the 9-point terminal block in the matching
baseplate. Tighten the two holding screws
fitted to the ends of the terminal block.
The terminal must be supplied with a
voltage of between 12 and 24 VDC.
10
