Installation of the Router

MG101/102 is designed for mounting to a panel using through holes or to be put on a worktop. Please consider the
safety instructions (chapter 1.1) and the environmental conditions (chapter 2.1).
2.2.1

Installation of the SIM Card(s)

The router incorporates two separate SIM card sockets so that if your application demands it, you may install SIM cards
for two different networks. If you only use one SIM card insert it in SIM socket 1. Make sure the SIM is suitable for
data transmission.
2.2.2

Installation of the UMTS/GSM Antenna

MG101/102 Wireless Routers will only operate reliably over the GSM network if there is a good signal. For many ap-
plications the flexible stub antenna provided will be suitable but in some circumstances it may be necessary to use a re-
mote antenna with an extended cable to allow the antenna itself to be positioned to provide the best possible signal re-
ception. MG102 can supply a range of suitable antennas.
Consider the effects caused by Faraday cages such as large metal surfaces (elevators, machine housings, etc.), close
meshed iron constructions.
Fit the antenna or connect the antenna cable to the GSM antenna connector.
2.2.3

Installation of the GPS Antenna

Use active GPS antennas for best signal reception.
2.2.4

Installation of the Local Area Network

Up to four Ethernet devices can directly be connected to the MG101/102.
2.2.5

Installation of the Power Supply

MG101/102 can be powered with the included power supply or another external source supplying between 9
and 32 Volts DC (9-28 Volts DC MG101-1NN). MG101/102 is for use with certified (CSA or equivalent) power
supply, which must have a limited and SELV circuit output.
