EK-5209-5 Evaluation Kit User’s Guide 2-3
Hardware Installation
Hardware Installation
The following procedures describe in order, how to install the various hardware components of
the evaluation kit. When initially setting up the hardware, it is recommended that the i-Bean
Gateway, i-Bean Routers, and i-Bean Endpoints be placed close to the host PC. This will make
verifying proper network installation and operation easier when first establishing a session with
iB-5209 Network Monitor. The devices can then be moved away from the host PC as needed.
i-Bean Gateway Setup (GW-5209)
The i-Bean Gateway, model number GW-5209, is shipped enclosed in a case that has openings
for instant access to the antenna and RS-232 connectors as shown in Figure 2-1. The case cover
only needs to be removed should you decide to power the device with batteries instead of the
factory-installed AC adapter, as explained in the following setup procedure.
Figure 2-1. i-Bean Gateway components (external)
During the setup procedure, refer to Figure 2-1 for location of the various i-Bean Gateway
components.
To install the i-Bean Gateway:
1. Attach one of the included antennas to the REV-SMA antenna connector. The antenna
screws onto the connector.
Caution
When attaching the antenna, only hand-tighten the antenna to the connector.
Using excessive force may damage the connector.
