Installing
your device
Step 1
Mount your router in a suitable location using the options listed on
page 5.
When selecting a location to mount the MachineLink 3G router, keep in
mind that it houses two high performance internal antennas designed
to provide optimum signal strength in a wide range of environments. If

place or mounting it differently. If signal strength doesn’t improve, you
may need to attach an external antenna (not included) to the router’s
female SMA connector.
Step 2
Connect power to your router using one of three options.
1 Power over Ethernet (802.3af PoE)
Connect your router to a PoE injector or PoE network switch
using the bundled yellow Ethernet cable 8P8C. This method
uses the Ethernet connection to power and transfer data to and
from the router.
2 DC power via 2-pin connector
Remove the attached green terminal block from your router and
connect to the router’s power socket using a DC power supply,
sold separately.
Note: If you connect
an external antenna
to the female
SMA connector,
the main internal
antenna disables
automatically but
the auxiliary internal
antenna remains
connected to provide
(where possible)
diversity assistance.
