2.3 Connecting to your Cellular Provider

The ICX30-HWC supports 3G GSM/GPRS and CDMA (where applicable)
networks. It uses your cellular provider as an ISP (Internet Service Provider) to
connect you to the Internet.

 Cellular devices using GSM technology, such as AT&T, require a SIM

(Subscriber Identity Module) card to be installed in the radio.

 Cellular devices using CDMA technology, such as Verizon, do not require a

SIM card.

2.3.1 Steps of a connection using GSM/GPRS

The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) in the ICX30-HWC is a smartcard that
securely stores the key identifying a cellular subscriber. Generally, you will only
need to install a SIM once in the life of the cellular gateway, and it may be pre­installed by your ProSoft Technology Representative.

The SIM card slot is located on the front of the cellular gateway.

1 Insert the SIM card into the ICX30-HWC and cycle power. The SIM card is

read by the ICX30-HWC upon boot up.

2 Open the Network Interface > WAN Configuration webpage.

information is provided from your cellular provider. Click APPLY CHANGES.
The ICX30-HWC will reboot.

4 After the ICX30-HWC reboots, it establishes a PPP (Point to Point Protocol or

"dial" up connection) link to your cellular provider network, also called
registering on the network, and receives an IP address.

5 When the ICX30-HWC has received its IP address from your cellular

provider, a connection to the Internet or the cellular network is also available
for computers or other devices to connect directly to the ICX30-HWC.

3G Cellular (M2M) User Manual

3 Hardware Installation

The ICX30-HWC should be mounted in a position that allows easy access for the
cables so they are not bent, constricted, in close proximity to high amperage, or
exposed to extreme temperatures. The LEDs on the front panel should be visible
for ease of operational verification. You should ensure that there is adequate
airflow around the device but kept free from direct exposure to the elements,
such as sun, rain, dust, and so on.

Caution: The ICX30-HWC is in a hardened case, and designed for use in industrial and extreme
environments. However, unless you are using cables expressly designed for such environments,
they can fail if exposed to the same conditions the ICX30-HWC can withstand.

3.1 Antenna Installation

Antennas selected should not exceed a maximum gain of 5 dBi under standard
installation configuration. In more complex installations (such as those requiring
long lengths of cable, and/or multiple connections), it is imperative that the
installer follow maximum dBi gain guidelines in accordance with the radio
communications regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC),
Industry Canada, or your country's regulatory body (if used outside the US).

Your ICX30-HWC will work with most quad-band GSM cellular antennas with a
SMA connector. Connect the primary antenna or primary RF cable directly to the
'ANT A' antenna connector on the front of the ICX30-HWC.

A secondary antenna port labeled 'ANT B' is provided to attach an additional
antenna. Use of a secondary antenna is not required, but will often increase
cellular reliability and throughput performance.

This device is not intended for use within close proximity of the human body.
Antenna installation should have at least 20 cm separation from the operator.

Tip: When using a cable to an antenna placed away from the modem, minimize the length of your
cable. All gain from a more advantageous antenna placement can be lost with a long cable to the
modem.

3.2.2 Ethernet Cable Specifications

The recommended Ethernet cable is category 5 or better. A category 5 cable has
four twisted pairs of wire that are color-coded and cannot be swapped. The
module only uses two of the four pairs when running at 10 MBit or 100 MBit
speeds.

The Ethernet port on the module is Auto-Sensing. Use either a standard Ethernet
straight-through cable or a crossover cable when connecting the module to an
Ethernet hub, a 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet switch, or directly to a PC. The
module will detect the cable type and use the appropriate pins to send and
receive Ethernet signals.

Ethernet cabling is like U.S. telephone cables but have eight conductors. Some
hubs have one input that can accept either a straight-through or crossover cable,
depending on switch position. In this case, ensure that the switch position and
cable type agree.

3G Cellular (M2M) User Manual

4 GSM Communication (AT&T®)

Many GSM Networks have been upgraded to support HSUPA. GSM Networks
use SIM cards which are smart cards containing the account holder's details. A
SIM can generally be moved from one device to another allowing for account
flexibility.

4.1 HSUPA

HSUPA (High-Speed Uplink Packet Access) is a cellular technology which most
closely resembles a broadband synchronous connection. The upload and
download speeds are maximized to provide a faster throughput, reaching speeds
up to 2.0 Mbit/s for the uplink and 7.2 Mbit/s for the downlink. Please check with
your network provider on the availability of HSUPA.

4.2 HSDPA

HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) is a cellular technology allowing
for higher data transfer speeds. In HSDPA mode of operation, max speeds are
up to 7.2 Mbit/s in the downlink and 384 kbit/s in the uplink. HSDPA uses
Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC), fast packet scheduling at the Node B
(Base Station) and fast retransmissions from Node B (known as HARQ-Hybrid
Automatic Repeat Request) to deliver the improved downlink performance vs.
UMTS and EDGE.

HSPDA (and HSUPA) falls back to UMTS, EDGE or GPRS (in order of
precedence). This feature allows you to have seamless connectivity no matter
where your ICX30-HWC is located.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 43 of 64
June 22, 2015

GSM Communication (AT&T®) ICX30-HWC ♦ Industrial Cellular Gateway
User Manual 3G Cellular (M2M)

4.3 UMTS

UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) supports up to 1920 kbit/s
data transfer rates, although most users can expect performance up to 384
kbit/s. A UMTS network uses a pair of 5 MHz channels, one in the 1900 MHz
range for uplink and one in the 2100 MHz range for downlink.

4.4 EDGE

EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) provides end-to-end packet
data services with an enhanced connectivity building on GPRS technology and
using the established GSM networks. EDGE provides higher transmission rates
and better transmission quality for data than GPRS. EDGE can carry data at
speeds typically up to 384 kbit/s in packet mode.

When EDGE is not available, your ICX30-HWC will fall back to GPRS for the
connection to your cellular provider to provide continued connectivity.

4.5 GPRS

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is packet-switched with many users
sharing the same transmission channel, but only transmitting when they have
data to send. This means that the total available bandwidth can be immediately
dedicated to those users who are actually sending at any given moment,
providing higher utilization where users only send or receive data intermittently.
GPRS provides speeds of 30-70 kbps with bursts up to 170 kbps.

3G Cellular (M2M) User Manual

5 CDMA Communication (Verizon®)

CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), where applicable, is the underlying
digital radio network technology used by many cellular providers across the globe
and is prevalent in North America. To provide backward compatibility and
seamless connections in a wider range of locations, your ICX30-HWC will fall
back to 1x when EV-DO is not available.

ICX30-HWC is certified with the prominent North American 1x and EV-DO
carriers.

5.1 EV-DO

EV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized) provides a broadband-like cellular data
connection that is 10 times faster than 1x/CDMA service. With the high-speed
connection, users can experience faster downloading when accessing the
Internet and retrieving e-mails, including large attachments and other bandwidth­intensive applications. EV-DO is often referred to as Mobile Broadband and
Cellular Broadband.

EV-DO revision A is an enhancement on the original revision 0 adding expanded
upload capabilities and a more robust connection overall. In addition to
increasing the downlink speed, revision A also increases the uplink speed. In
addition, it is backwards compatible and automatically connects with existing and
broadly deployed EV-DO Rev. 0 and 1x networks ensuring reliable and pervasive
connectivity.

Note: Your ICX30-HWC does not have a second antenna for received diversity. Received diversity
is disabled by default.

5.2 1x

1x provides a digital cellular telephony system and can provide wireless Internet
access at speeds between 60 and 80 kbps, with bursts up to 144 kbps.

User Manual 3G Cellular (M2M)

5.3 Security

1x and EV-DO data transmissions are highly secure. Originally developed based
upon the "spread spectrum" pioneered by the US Department of Defense,
security in CDMA technologies is obtained by spreading the digital information
contained in a particular signal of interest over multiple coded paths, over a much
greater bandwidth than the original signal.

Converting latitude and longitude coordinates to decimal degrees:
The latitude and longitude values are both displayed in the following format:

dddmm.mmmm where d = degrees and m = minutes
To convert the number of minutes to a decimal value, use the following formula:
Decimal value = Minutes / 60

Example:
ProSoft Technology Headquarters: Bakersfield, California, USA

Latitude: 3522.086288,N
Longitude: 11903.627399,W

Latitude decimal degrees: 35 + (22.086288 / 60) = 35.36810
Longitude decimal degrees: 119 + (3.627399 / 60) = -119.06046
