Important Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data
may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare
when wireless devices such as the gateway is used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the
gateway should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind
to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Robustel
accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received
using the gateway, or for failure of the gateway to transmit or receive such data.
Safety Precautions
General
The gateway generates radio frequency (RF) power. When using the gateway, care must be taken on safety
issues related to RF interference as well as regulations of RF equipment.
Do not use your gateway in aircraft, hospitals, petrol stations or in places where using cellular products is
prohibited.
Be sure that the gateway will not be interfering with nearby equipment. For example: pacemakers or medical
equipment. The antenna of the gateway should be away from computers, office equipment, home appliance,
etc.
An external antenna must be connected to the gateway for proper operation. Only uses approved antenna with
the gateway. Please contact authorized distributor on finding an approved antenna.
Always keep the antenna with minimum safety distance of 20 cm or more from human body. Do not put the
antenna inside metallic box, containers, etc.
RF exposure statements
1. For mobile devices without co-location (the transmitting antenna is installed or located more than 20cm
away from the body of user and nearby person)
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
1. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
2. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the
radiator and human body.
Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open.
Gateway may be used at this time.
Using the gateway in Vehicle
Check for any regulation or law authorizing the use of cellular devices in vehicle in your country before installing
the gateway.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the gateway while driving.
Install the gateway by qualified personnel. Consult your vehicle distributor for any possible interference of
electronic parts by the gateway.
The gateway should be connected to the vehicle’s supply system by using a fuse-protected terminal in the
vehicle’s fuse box.
Be careful when the gateway is powered by the vehicle’s main battery. The battery may be drained after
extended period.

communication
Use a USB cable to connect the gateway's mini USB interface to an external
communication device.
Power supply
Use a USB cable to connect the gateway's mini USB interface to external power supply.
Note: In general, a notebook computer USB 2.0 interface output current and output voltage are only 0.5
A and 5 V, so when using the USB interface for configuration, you should use power supply input interface
for power supply; and when using the USB interface for configuration and power supply, the output
current of USB interface should be at least 1 A, output voltage at least 5 V.

use 2 pcs of M3 drywall screws to mount the gateway associated with the wall mounting kit on the wall.
Note: Recommended torque for mounting is 1.0 N.m, and the maximum allowed is 1.2 N.m.
DIN rail mounting (measured in mm)
Use 3 pcs of ST3*8 flat head self-tapping Phillips screws to fix the DIN rail to the gateway, and then hang the DIN
rail on the mounting bracket. It is necessary to choose a standard bracket.
Note: Recommended torque for mounting is 1.0 N.m, and the maximum allowed is 1.2 N.m.

Chapter 3 Initial Configuration
The gateway supports webpage configuration. The supported browsers are IE8.0 or above, Google, Firefox, etc. The
supported operating systems are Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10. For M1200, the method of connecting to
the gateway is to use a PC to make a PPP dial-up connection to the device so that users can configure it on the web
page through the mini USB port.
3.1 Configure the PC
Establishing a PPP Server on the device side to monitor dialing request from the serial port, then use the serial port
to establish a PPP connection with PC to establish IP channel. On the PC side, configure the following for different
operating systems:
Here take Windows 7 as example, and the configuration for windows system is similar.
1. After the device is powered on, the PC detects the new serial port and tries to install the driver. If the PC can not
automatically install the driver, as shown in the figure below, you need to manually add the driver; please follow
the readme operation tips under m1200_ppp_configure\usb_driver in the attachment. Please download from
the official website or consult technical support for the corresponding attachments.
