Getting Started

Network and System Requirements

Before continuing with the setup of your NetComm m1, please confirm that you comply with the minimum system requirements below.

•

Compatible 3G USB modem with an activated SIM card

•

Computer or smart phone with Windows, Nokia Symbian, Android, Macintosh or Linux-based operating systems with TCP/IP

protocol installed and working, and a IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11n compatible wireless adapter

•

Web browser such as Internet Explorer, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome, Netscape Navigator etc.

Placement of your NetComm m1

Your wireless connection and performance will degrade as the distance between your NetComm m1 and connected devices increases.

This may or may not be directly noticeable, and is greatly affected by the individual setup environment.

If you have concerns about your network performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer (or

WiFi device) to a position between 3 to 5 metres from your NetComm m1 in order to see if distance is the problem. If difficulties persist

even at close range, please contact NetComm Technical Support.

Note:

While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from functioning; if you are concerned that your

network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help.

It is highly recommended that the NetComm m1 must be kept at least 20cm distances away from human body. This is a regulatory requirement and applies to all 3G /

WiFi capable devices meeting standard regulatory compliance – Please see the section on Safety and Legal Information for more information.

Place your NetComm m1 as close as possible to the centre of your wireless network devices.

To achieve the best wireless network coverage for your "wireless clients" (i.e. computers with built-in or USB wireless adapters, laptops with

built-in or USB wireless adapters, wireless enabled PDAs / Phones or wireless enabled gaming consoles, etc); ensure that your NetComm

m1 is positioned vertically. You can do this by detaching the front faceplate and using it "clip" onto a surface.

•

In multi-storey homes, place your NetComm m1 on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This may mean

placing your NetComm m1 on an upper floor.

•

Try not to place your NetComm m1 near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the NetComm m1

(2.4GHz).
