Chapter 1 – Product Description and Specifications

Front Panel

The front panel contains Power and Status LEDs, two Ethernet LEDs, two modem LEDs, and three signal LEDs. The Power
LED indicates that DC power is present and the Status LED blinks when the unit is functioning normally. The two Ethernet LEDs
indicate transmit and receive activity and connection speed of 10 or 100Mbps on the Ethernet link. The two modem LEDs
indicate carrier detection and link status. The three signal LEDs display the signal strength level of the wireless connection. The
SIM door on the right side of the router provides access to the SIM card holder on the E1, G2, and H4 versions.
