QK-R041 Manual The R041 wireless marine 4G router multiplexer has the following options for inputs, outputs and host devices. • Power supply • 1x 4G SIM card slot • 2x digital inputs and 2x digital outputs • 1x RS232 interface, supports NMEA 0183 protocol •... -
Page 6: Network Connections
QK-R041 Manual When inserting a SIM card, ensure the SIM card has the correct orientation. Do NOT insert the SIM card at an angle or use force. There is also an SD card slot next to the SIM card slot, the use of this is not currently supported by the firmware. -
Page 7: Digital Inputs
QK-R041 Manual used for switching, rather than driving other inputs. 3.5.1. Digital inputs DI1 and DI2 are two digital inputs. Digital Inputs allow the R041 to detect logic states (low or high) when GND is connected to or disconnected from the DI1/2 terminals of the router. Using the R041’s configuration interface, the operator can set up the input parameters and specify what actions should be executed when the digital input is triggered. -
