ANT ports (Modena Hub+ only)

The Modena Hub+ features two ANT ports for attaching each of the provided WiFi antennas.
The antennas can be connected to the ANT ports by inserting them and gently hand-twisting clockwise to secure. Once
the Modena Hub+ base unit is in its final installation location, the antennas can be rotated and pivoted at their hinge to
adjust the WiFi signal coverage area.
Further information on utilizing a wireless network with the Modena Hub+ can be found here.

DCIN and power

To power Modena, connect the power cord to the AC/DC power supply, then plug the power supply into Modena's DCIN
port and connect the power cord to a standard electrical wall socket. Modena will automatically power on and the LED
power indicator on its front panel should turn green.
The first time a new Modena system is powered on, it will automatically begin its firmware installation procedure. This
operation may take several minutes to complete.
Every time Modena is powered on after its initial firmware installation, it will reach out to Biamp's software/firmware
repository to check for updates (note: this will require a valid internet connection on Modena's Network port). If a more
recent version of firmware is found, the device will automatically install it.
Note that both the initial firmware installation and any subsequent system updates may take several minutes to
complete, during which time the device may appear to be unresponsive. The length of time needed to check for,
download, and install updates will be partially dependent on available internet speed to the device. When this process is
complete, the HDMI port will output its "Welcome" screen.
To turn Modena off, press and hold the power button down for 5-10 seconds. To turn Modena back on, press and
release the power button once.

Setup recommendations

• Only tested, known-good cables should be used for any Ethernet, HDMI, or USB connections.
• Modena Hub+ should not be placed near potential WiFi obstacles (walls, metallic surfaces, other radio equipment or
signals, etc.).
• Conducting a WiFi site survey can help discover potential issues with interference levels in the local WiFi
environment.
• On some corporate networks with active Rogue Access Point (AP) Detection, connecting an unknown AP such as
Modena may result in an alarm being raised that there is a potential security breach. This may also result in the
network connection Modena is using to connect to the corporate network being disabled. It is best practice to
communicate with the local IT administrators before adding Modena or any other devices to their corporate network.
