Safety Warnings Ethernet Ports Caution The Ethernet ports are not designed to be connected to a Public Telecommunication Network or used outside the building. RF Safety The remote modems are cellular devices. It is important to follow any special regulations regarding the use of radio equipment due in particular to the possibility of Radio Frequency (RF) interference.
Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices Potential interference Radiofrequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is electromagnetic interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard.
Cellular Information Antenna System for Cellular Devices The cellular/wireless performance is completely dependent on the implementation and antenna design. The integration of the antenna system into the product is a critical part of the design process; therefore, it is essential to consider it early so the performance is not compromised. If changes are made to the certified antenna system of the MultiConnect, then recertification will be required by specific network carriers such as Sprint.
Installing the Router 1. To use the router’s cellular features, connect a suitable antenna to the antenna connector. 2. Some routers support Wi-Fi. To use the router’s Wi-Fi access point features, install a suitable antenna to the Wi-Fi antenna connector on the router. The Wi-Fi antenna connection is reverse polarity. If you use a standard antenna on the Wi-Fi connector, you can damage the antenna and the connector. Five Wi-Fi devices can concurrently use your Wi-Fi access point. 3.
10. You can mount the device to a flat surface, if desired. a. Locate the groove on the bottom of the device. b. Slide the mounting rod through the groove. c. To secure the rod to the desired surface, place and tighten two screws in the holes on either end of the mounting rod. The dimensions illustration in this guide shows the mounting rod, as well as the dimensions for placement of the screws. Account Activation for Wireless Devices Refer to Multi-Tech’s Cellular Activation Web site at http://www.
Installing the SIM Card If you want to operate the router on a GSM/HSPA network, install a SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module). To install the SIM: 1. Locate the SIM card slot on the side of the router. The slot is labeled SIM. 2. Using a slim blunt item, press the SIM tray eject button and slide the tray out of the device. 3. Place the SIM card onto the tray. 4. Slide the SIM tray and card back into the device.
Setting up Wi-Fi and GPS Some models have Wi-Fi capability. If your device supports this feature, you need use the device’s web management interface to enable Wi-Fi. Then, see the online help file for information on working with Wi-Fi. If your model can support a GPS, also see the online help file for information on working with a GPS. Resetting the Device To reset the device, when desired: 1. Find the hole in the panel labeled RESET. The reset button is recessed into the case. 2.
