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
youndthesignalstrengthisweak,trymovingtheroutertoadifferent
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.
