2. Computer access via Telular's Intranet:
Dealers may access their Telguard customer database via
Telular's Intranet. The pertinent customer account information and serial number can be completed and
submitted on-line. After an approval acknowledgement is issued, usually within 10-minutes, the Telguard is
ready to install.
3.1 GETTING READY
Before attempting to connect Telguard to the host C/C, please note the following:
1. Be sure your unit has cellular service activated. (See Section 3.0)
2. Be sure you have all the proper parts before you go to the job site. The following items are shipped with
each Telguard unit:
"
Basic Telguard unit (Model T100C001 in plastic enclosure).
"
16.5 VAC, 20 VA UL Listed plug-in transformer (Revere, P/N: RT-1620SL).
Note: The 20 VA transformer is required for proper operation since the Telguard is
capable of transmitting at 3 watts of output power. Do not use the C/C power
transformer to provide AC power to the Telguard.
"
Antenna: Whip antenna for T100C001.
"
3-foot modular plug-to-plug cord for connecting Telguard to RJ31X jack.

3. You must also have certain installation test tools.
•
A standard telephone or lineman's buttset is required at the job site for use in programming the unit.
•
Optimal signal strength is determined by placing the unit where the most LEDs (up to four) are
lighted when using Telguard's on-board Signal Strength Indicator feature so that the unit can be
easily placed during installation where signal strength is greatest.
NOTE: Your unit may be subject to airtime charges for unintended use. Telular offers several cellular
service rate plans. Check the Activation and Programming form that was shipped with your unit
or call us to determine what rate plan each unit is operating under.

service is activated.
This is the most important step in the installation, since the programming parameters
contain all the necessary information for successful communications.
Also, you will confirm that Telguard has
adequate cellular signal strength.
