8-Port Ethernet Switch; Wan Connection; Wwan Antenna Connection (Cell Connector) - Teldat iM8 Installation Manual

Teldat S.A.

3.7.1 8-port Ethernet Switch

The Teldat iM8 router incorporates an 8-port 10/100/1000 Base-T Switch with automatic MDI/MDIX to connect to a
local area network (LAN).
Please pay careful attention to the labeling to avoid mixing this switch with other port types:

Note
During booting and in BIOS mode, only the LAN 1 connector is available.

3.7.2 WAN Connection

The Teldat iM8 has 1 Ethernet interface for WAN connection. This port has 2 connectors - SFP for optical link and
RJ45 for 10/100/1000 Base-T link - but they cannot work simultaneously. This interface is totally independent from
the Switch and is handled as just one more interface.
Please pay careful attention to the labeling to avoid confusing these ports with other port types:

Note
During booting and in BIOS mode, the WAN connectors do not work.

3.7.3 WWAN Antenna Connection (Cell connector)

The Teldat iM8 has two connectors for 3G antennas. To assemble and disassemble the antennas, simply screw
them into the connectors labeled Cell (located on the right panel of the router).
Installing these antennas in the Teldat iM8 is essential to improve the quality of the signal received and transmitted
by the cellular model.
Note
To achieve high-quality performance, the router should always have the WWAN antennas installed.
For the cellular interface to work, the router needs the corresponding software license.
Some cellular telephony technologies use the antenna diversity technique to improve the quality of the signal re-
ceived (HSUPA, CDMA EV-DO, etc.). The Teldat iM8 router family incorporates several WWAN connectors for this.
