4.1 Power supply connector
Depending on the specific modem you are using, you will dispose of one of the connectors described
in the sections below. Please read them carefully.
4.1.1 RJ11 (base MTX‐3G‐JAVA)
An RJ11 6‐way connector, as shown and described below, serves as a means of supplying and
controlling DC power to the modem.
The power supply voltage (VCC) required by the modem is in the range of 6.5 to 40VDC. We
recommend a 12V DC power supply. The power supply has to be a single voltage source capable of
providing a current peak during an active transmission. The uplink burst causes strong ripples (drop)
on the power lines.
By default, the MTX‐3G‐JAVA will automatically switch on when power supply is applied at PIN 1 and
PIN 6.
