  • Page 13: Hardware Installation

    4 Hardware Installation The OWL-IPG-AMERICAS should be mounted in a position that allows easy access for the cables so they are not bent, constricted, in close proximity to high amperage, or exposed to extreme temperatures. The LEDs on the front panel should be visible for ease of operational veri- fication.
  • Page 14 Note: When wiring the supplied Power Connector, be sure to observe the proper polarity mark- ings. Incorrect wiring can cause serious damage to the gateway, which will not be covered under the warranty. The Power Connector is shown on the left. Note the + and – polarity markings. The Wire Install- ation Tool, shown on the right, is helpful for installing wires into the spring-loaded contacts inside the Power Connector.

    (FCC), Industry Canada, or your country's regulatory body (if used outside the US). The OWL-IPG-AMERICAS will work with most quad-band GSM/CDMA cellular antennas with a female SMA connector. Connect the primary antenna or primary RF cable directly to the 'ANT A' antenna connector on the front of the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS.

    Connecting the Radio to a Network Device The application ports are located on the front of the radio. The Ethernet port uses a standard RJ45 connector The serial port uses a standard DB9 connector for serial connectivity Installation OWL IPG Release 01, 01/2020...
  • Page 17: Ethernet Cable Specifications

    4.3.1 Ethernet Cable Specifications The recommended Ethernet cable is category 5 or better. A category 5 cable has four twisted pairs of wire that are color-coded and cannot be swapped. The module only uses two of the four pairs when running at 10 MBit or 100 MBit speeds. The Ethernet port on the module is Auto-Sensing.

There may be a situation when you may see a “Disconnect, will retry” indicator on the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS webpage, even when the WWAN LED light is on (solid green). This indicates that the module was able to make a physical connection to the tower, but the logical connection was not made between the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS and the cellular provider.

    1. Remove the SIM Card Slot cover by removing the two screws holding it into place. 2. Insert the SIM card (size 2FF, Mini-SIM) into the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS and cycle power. The SIM card is read by the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS upon boot up.
  • Page 27 4. Enter the APN (Access Point Name) in the Configuration > Basic, Gateway Settings. The APN is provided by your cellular provider. 5. After the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS reboots, it establishes a link to your cellular provider net- work, also called registering on the network, and then receives an IP address.

    To protect a SIM card from others using it for phone calls or cellular data, a SIM PIN can be used. When a SIM PIN is used, the SIM card will automatically lock upon an OWL-IPG-AMERICAS reboot. The PIN protection enablement, PIN (Personal identification number), and PUK (PIN unlock key) codes are saved on the SIM card.

    By default, this feature is not enabled. The following steps show how to enable (and disable) this feature: 1. On the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS webpage, navigate to the CONFIGURATION > BASIC webpage. 2. Under SIM Settings, click on the PIN Verification setting and select ENABLE.

When the SIM card is blocked, you will not be able to access the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS configuration webpage via the WAN connection. You can connect via the LAN (Ethernet) port until the SIM card is unblocked.
  • Page 31: Unblocking A Sim Card

    If the wrong PIN Code is entered more than three times, the SIM card becomes blocked. During this time, OWL-IPG-AMERICAS WAN (cellular) connectivity is disabled. The SIM PIN status shows “SIM Blocked” on the STATUS > SYSTEM STATUS webpage (WAN section). You can unblock it by entering the PUK code assigned to the SIM card by your service operator.
  • Page 32 2. The link takes you to the CONFIGURATION > BASIC webpage (SIM Settings section). 3. Contact your service provider to provide you with the PUK code. You will need the phone number that is assigned to the SIM card. Note: It is recommended to keep the PUK written down in a safe place from the device. Entering an incorrect PUK code ten times in a row will permanently lock the SIM card, requiring a new one.
