Chapter 2 – Installation

Insert the SIM Card into Holder, If required

The router requires the power supply connection to begin operation. It also requires a SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module) to
operate on a GSM network. To install the SIM, do the following:
1. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the two SIM door screws and remove the SIM door.
Note: When changing a SIM, ensure that power is removed from the unit.
2. Insert the SIM card into the card holder. The above graphic illustrates the correct SIM card orientation.
3. Verify that the SIM card fits into the holder properly and then replace the cover.

Making the Connection

MTCBA-XX-EN2
1. Connect a suitable antenna to the SMA connector (see antenna specifications in Appendix B).
Optional: If you have the GPS version, connect a suitable GPS antenna to the GPS connector. Ensure that when
you position the GPS antenna, that it can see the sky to locate the satellites for accurate values.
2. Using an Ethernet cable, connect one end of the cable to the ETHERNET connector on the back of the router and
the other end to your pc either directly or via a switch or hub.
3. If you are connecting a customer's serial legacy device to the router, connect the serial, RS-232 cable from the
customer's device to the RS232 connector on the back of the router.
4. Depending on the power source, connect either the power supply module with the appropriate blade or the
optional DC power cable. If you are using the power supply module, remove the protective shipping cover. Attach
the appropriate interchangeable blade piece to the power supply module.
