• Primary LTE Antenna Connector – This is the radio's receive and transmit
port. For best results, use the included antennas, placed in a V formation. You
can attach the antennas directly to the ES440, or you can use a bracket and
SMA coax cable to connect antennas located away from the ES440.
• Secondary LTE Antenna Connector – This is required for LTE MIMO
(multiple-input and multiple-output).
Note: For more information, see
• Ethernet Connector – This RJ-45 connector connects any Ethernet-enabled
network equipment to the ES440 using a standard Ethernet cable. This is
also used to connect a PC to the ES440 for configuration and monitoring,
using ACEmanager, the ES440's web-based management utility.
This connector complies with the IEEE 802.3 specification for 100 Mbps
speed (Fast Ethernet) with fallback to 10 Mbps and includes auto-crossover
support. It is auto-sensing and auto-detects the speed of the connecting
device for 100 baseT or 10 baseT.
The connector has two LEDs that indicate speed and activity. For more infor-
mation, see Ethernet LEDs
• Power Connector – Connect the AC adapter.
The ES440 automatically starts when power is supplied.
• Serial Port – This 9-pin connector provides standard RS-232 DCE communi-
cation. For out of band management, you can connect this serial port to an
enterprise router. You can also connect a computer to the serial port to
configure the ES440 using AT commands.
• USB Port – The ES440 has a Micro AB connector that complies with version
2.0 of the USB standard for high-speed operation. It accepts Micro A and
Micro B plugs. You can connect a Windows PC to it to monitor and configure
the ES440.
When connected to a PC, it becomes either a:
