OTE:N Make sure to set the COM port(s) for the attached equipment. The ORION Endpoint Utility stores equipment
connection information so it is good practice to use the same USB port(s) on the computer whenever you connect
the equipment to maintain the COM port settings.
DC power is not needed if
using the USB powered
ME mobile transceiver.
Place antenna on vehicle roof.
Keep antenna at least two feet
away from other antennas.
