  • Page 16: Operation Modes

    Operation Modes The RUT550 router supports various operation modes. It can be connected to the internet (WAN) via LTE, standard Ethernet cable or via a wireless network. If you connect to the internet via an Ethernet cable of Wi-Fi, you may also backup your connection with LTE for added stability.

  • Page 17: Powering Options

    To check if the jumpers were mounted, you need to remove front panel (the one with power socket). Though the device can be powered over Ethernet port it is not compliant with IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard. Powering RUT550 from IEEE 802.3af-2003 power supply will damage the device as it is not rated for input voltages of PoE standard.

  • Page 18: Using Terminal Block For Power Input

    Using terminal block for power input If you bought RUT550 with a 3.5mm contact pitch terminal block for power input instead of traditional 5.5x2.5mm power socket, below there is an instruction on how to power up router. 1. Loosen the screws on the top of the plug, so that the wires could fit into the plug holes. Use a screwdriver with a flat tip.

    4 and 5 (4 is connected to ground, 5-positive voltage).To supply power for the connected MVC300 camera(s) from RUT550, first you need to remove the front and back panels, then take the PCB out of the metal enclosure. Now place a jumper on the contact pins associated with the LAN port that you connect your camera to.
  • Page 21 Port 4 - place jumpers on J4.1 and J4.2 If all router LAN ports are to be used to connect MVC300 cameras, mount all 6 jumpers. When a jumper is mounted, the associated LAN port is dedicated only for connecting MVC300 camera. Do not connect a PC or any other device, as there is a great risk for damaging them.
