2. CONFIGURING TW-3G Router

2.1. Installation Considerations

TW-3G Router allows you access your network using a wireless connection,
from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind however,
that the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects
that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit this range.
Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials used, and
background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business.

To maximize your wireless range, please follow these guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the TW-3G Router and
other network devices to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce the
TW-3G Router’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters).

Note! The same considerations apply to your broadband EVDO connection.

2. Keep your product aware from electrical devices (such as microwaves, air
conditioners, and televisions) that emit large quantities of RFI (Radio
Frequency Interference).

2.2 Installation Instructions

Connect the Wireless Router to Your Network
Note: DO NOT connect TW-3G Router to power before performing the

installation steps below.

1. Connect an USB modem with service to the TW-3G Router

Note! Always use, at least 10 cm long USB cable between your 3G
modem and 3G router.

2. Insert the Ethernet patch cable into LAN Port on the back panel of
the TW-3G Router, and an available Ethernet port on the network
adapter in the computer you will use to configure the unit.

3. Connect the power adapter to the receptor on the back panel of your
TW-3G Router. Then plug the other end of the power adapter into a
wall outlet or power strip.

When router’s power has been applied, LEDs will flash ON and OFF as

the TW-3G Router performs initialization and Internet connection
processes. This will take a few minutes. When complete, the
following LEDs will illuminate green: Mobile and LAN. WLAN LED will
illuminate blue when device is ready.
