Power supply for router is required between +10 V to +60 V DC supply. Protection against reversed polarity without signaling is built into the router. SPECTRE v3 LTE can be put into low power mode using a special command. Router can be awakened for example by an activity on binary input.
5. ROUTER DESIGN 5.8.3 Antenna connector ANT, DIV, GPS and WIFI Main, diversity and GPS antennas are connected to the router using the SMA connector on the front panel. There is also available R-SMA antenna connector through which the additional antenna can be connected, if the router is equipped with WiFi module.
5. ROUTER DESIGN 5.8.4 SIM card reader Two SIM card readers for 3 V and 1.8 V SIM card are placed on the rear panel of the router. For getting the router to work is necessary to insert an activated SIM card with an unblocked PIN code. The SIM cards might be of different adjusted APN (Access Point Name).
5. ROUTER DESIGN Changing the microSD card: Use the flat end of a spudger, or your fingernail, to press the microSD card slightly deeper into its slot until you hear a click. After the click, release the card and it will pop out of its slot. Remove the microSD card and push any other microSD card into the slot until it clicks in place.

After pressing this button the default configuration is restored and then router reboots (green LED will be on).
5. ROUTER DESIGN 5.9 Interfaces description Besides the basic version of SPECTRE v3 router there are available versions with one of the following interfaces: RS232 interface RS232-RS485/422 interface SWITCH interface 5.9.1 RS232 interface This interface is physically connected on RJ45 connector. RS232 converter is protected against overload the bus.

5. ROUTER DESIGN 5.9.3 SWITCH interface Three LAN ports of SWITCH interface intended for v3 routers (RJ-45 connectors for connecting ethernet devices) act as it is a typical switch device. This means that the router with internal switch desk reads ethernet frames (a data packets on an ethernet link) from any port and transmits them on other ports of the switch board.
6. FIRST USE 6. First Use 6.1 Connecting the router before first use Before putting the router into operation it is necessary to connect all components which are required to run your applications. Don’t forget to insert SIM card. The router can not operate without connected antenna, SIM card and power supply. If the antenna is not connected, router can be demaged.
6. FIRST USE 6.2 Start The router is put into operation when the power supply is connected to this router. By default, the router will automatically start to log on to the default APN. DHCP server will start to assign addresses for devices on the Ethernet port ETH0.
