Warning: Explosion Hazard - Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off or
the area is known to be non-hazardous.
4.2 Connecting to a Computer or other Device
Your RLXIC-SV's full-speed (12 Mbit) USB 2.0 port can
be connected directly to most computers or other devices
using a standard full-speed USB 2.0 cable. If the
computer or device you are connecting or the cable is not
rated for full-speed, the modem will communicate at a
reduced speed to match. The RLXIC-SV functions as a
device, not a host.
When it is connected to a computer, the USB port should be seen as a COM port
or Ethernet port after the applicable driver is installed.
The RLXIC-SV has a standard mini-B connector.
Warning: The USB port can only be used in a non-hazardous environment.
4.3 Indicator Lights
When your RLXIC-SV is connected to power and
an antenna, there is a specific pattern to the lights
to indicate its operation mode.
 Network - Indicates a successful connection
to the cellular network with an IP address
given, and a channel acquired.
 Signal - Light shows the strength of the
signal, and may be nearly solid (strong signal)
or flashing (weaker signal). A slow flash
indicates a very weak signal.
