TravelNet’s Cellular Router System is Preconfigured

And Ready to Install with these Easy Steps

Installation Instructions:

1. Install the TravelNet Router and Edimax Router equipment in a convenient place such
as upper cabinet (Velcro works well on the base of the each unit). Mount
the unit so that the diagnostic lights can be viewed without moving the TravelNet Router
and the Edimax Wireless Router.

2. Locate the 2 antennas on the roof away from other obstructions
Also, you will need sealant as recommended by your coach manufacturer, stainless
screws (4) to anchor the aluminum ground plane to roof, cable clips to anchor cable,
cable entry cover plate.

Warning – You must connect antennas to the SMA style antenna connectors on the

TravelNet Cell Router before turning it on. Failure to do this could result in erratic start up
behavior and could possibly damage the unit.

Figure 1

Position the antennas near the cable entry point. Here the TravelNet unit was located in

the front overhead (Figure 1) with the antennas mounted close by on the roof.
