Installation must be in accordance with the National Electric Code (NFPA 70, Article 504) and ANSI/ISA-RF 12.6. (When the Fusion is located in a non-hazardous location, the maximum voltage is ±30 V and maximum current is 1 A.) The following table shows accessories that, when approved by the manufacturer, represent antennas and cables used with modules in UL testing. - Page 105 Table 17 Fusion Accessories used in UL testing Accessory Part Number / Description Quantity 401-9300-001 Antenna, LTE, LProfile, HGain (Band 13/Band 17), Mag Mount with ground plane disc, SMA, 15 ft., 3G Fallback 401-7100-003 GPS SMA Mag-Mount Antenna 401-7100-004 WiFi Mag-Mount Antenna...

Page 106: Appendix D - Firmware Upgrades
For upgrades of the WWAN cell module, the WWAN interface will be down for the duration of the upgrade procedure, which may require up to 15 minutes to complete. Caution: It is important to have a stable power source and ensure that power to the Fusion is not interrupted during a firmware upgrade. - Page 107 Alternatively, you may perform firmware upgrades via direct cable connection. Normally for a Fusion firmware upgrade (and for cell module firmware upgrades with Fusion firmware version 1.1.7), only 12 V power to the Fusion and an Ethernet cable connection are required, as shown in the following figure.

Fusion out of service during approximately one to two minutes. Unless otherwise stated, the user is not expected to take any special precautions. Caution: It is important to have a stable power source and ensure that power to the Fusion is not interrupted during a firmware upgrade. -

7. Wait for the Fusion to reboot, then wait a full minute after it has rebooted, and then access the Fusion Web interface again as in steps 2 and 3, earlier in these instructions. - Page 110 1. Connect a PC running Windows XP or Windows®7 to the Fusion as shown in Figure 77 for OTA firmware upgrade or as shown in Figure 78 for direct cable connection firmware upgrade. a. For direct cable connection firmware upgrade, connect the Ethernet cable from the PC to the Ethernet jack labeled ETH1 (center of the three Ethernet jacks).
- Page 111 Figure 85 WWAN1 Cell Module Model and Firmware Version (if a second cell module is present) All of the Fusion configuration settings are preserved through the firmware upgrade and the Fusion should return to functioning the same as it was before the upgrade (only better and with more versatility).

Page 113: Appendix E - Wifi Concurrent Configuration As Access Point And Client
Point mode and Client mode is that the WiFi component of the Fusion has only one radio. Figure 86 In Concurrent WiFi mode (both Client and Access Point active), the Fusion WiFi Client can only connect to external access points using the same channel that the internal Access Point is configured to use. -
Page 114: Wifi Nonconcurrent Mode - Client Mode
WIFI NONCONCURRENT MODE – CLIENT MODE If only the WiFi Client of the Fusion router is enabled, there is no restriction on the channel selection for the external WiFi access points. Figure 87 In Non-Concurrent mode (Client mode only), the WiFi client may use any valid channel as necessary to connect to an access point. -
Page 115: Wifi Nonconcurrent Mode - Access Point Mode
If only the WiFi Access Point of the Fusion router is enabled, the external WiFi access points have no importance and may be set to any valid channel. Figure 88 In Non-Concurrent mode (Access Point mode only), the Fusion router can use any valid channel independent of any external access points. -

As a result, applications residing behind either end of this secure tunnel can continue to have direct access to each other without needing to know which interface the Fusion is currently using to access the Internet or what IP address is currently assigned to the Fusion’s WAN interface. -
Page 117: Ipsec Tunnel
WWAN1 – Wireless Wide Area Network 1 In the diagram below, the Fusion powers up, connects to both cellular providers, AT&T and Verizon. Since no WiFi is available and AT&T (WWAN0) is the highest priority available interface, the IPsec tunnel is established between the Fusion and the IPsec server using WWAN0. - Page 118 Suppose later in the day the user arrives at a satellite office in another town. The Fusion can be programmed to connect to the local WiFi hotspot, allowing all traffic to be routed through the WiFi access point and avoiding cellular data usage fees.
- Page 119 Figure 94 Multiple Fusion routers with IPsec tunnels The IPsec tunnels create the effect of simplifying the network shown above. Since traffic is routed through the IPsec tunnels automatically, devices located in the end networks view the network as if all the networks were connected through a single router.

One or many devices can be connected to a Fusion router. Each device will have complete access to and from the corporate network without complicated routing or port-forwarding rules. -
