RTU-1
4G Data Station
Overview
Thank you for purchasing the TrolMaster’s RTU-1 4G Data
Station. Using a cellular SIM card, RTU-1 will provide a resilient,
high speed 4G connection to Internet for your devices through
the Ethernet cables or WiFi signal within range if your location
does not have network connectivity. Currently only AT&T SIM
cards are supported.
Once the SIM card is inserted correctly and the 4G signal is
available, any device with a network port such as Hydro-X Control
System can access to the Internet with a standard Ethernet cable
through one of the 5 Ethernet ports on the back panel. The
Ethernet LED indicators on the front panel will indicate the working
status accordingly. With the application of WiFi antenna (accessory
included), any device with a wireless Internet module can also get
access to the Internet directly.
With the use of 4G cellular antenna (accessory included), you
can enhance the 4G signal and network stability. The 4G signal
LED indicator will indicate the 4G signal strength (1 light indicates
signal week, 2 lights indicates signal medium, 3 lights indicates
signal strong).

We suggest you use TrolMaster standard power adapter
(1.5A/12VDC). If you have to use your own power supply, make
sure the power range is 5-35VDC and it is stable enough (ripple
shall be less than 300mV, and Instantaneous voltage shall not
be larger than 35V).
Cellular Antenna
Screw the SMA male cellular antenna to 4G Data Station (SMA
female port), make sure it is screwed tightly to ensure the strength
of signal.
WiFi Antenna
Screw the SMA femaleWIFIantenna to 4G Data Station (SMA
male port), make sure it is screwed tightly to ensure the strength
