Package Contents
The Fusion Router package contains the following items.
(1) Fusion Router (See Fusion order information for model part number.)
(1) Power Cable, DC, 22 ft., Fused (PN 897-9300-001), includes fuse
(1) Mounting Bracket (PN 817-9300-001) or Plate (PN 817-9300-902), depending on
whether model is Fixed or Mobile, with attaching hardware
(1) Quick-Start Guide (PN 004-0001-600)
(1) Information Card (PN 004-7500-000)
Important: Before you begin, you will need an LTE account with the carrier(s) of your
choice and an active SIM or UICC card.
Device Connections
Step 1 Unscrew two screws to remove the cover plate covering the WWAN slots and
insert the SIM or UICC card(s) into the WWAN slot(s) as shown. Insert the first card into
the WWAN0 slot. If you are using a dual card solution, install the second card into the
WWAN1 slot. (Retain the cover plate and attaching screws to reattach the cover plate
after setup is complete.)
Step 2 Connect the cellular antennas to the appropriate SMA connectors on the front of
the Fusion as shown in the following figure, matching the antennas for the WWAN0
module with WWAN0 connectors and antennas for the WWAN1 module with WWAN1
connectors. For each antenna pair, connect the main Rx/Tx antenna to the connector
labeled M, and MIMO/Diversity to the secondary (unmarked) connector of the pair.
Note: Verify both cellular antennas for each module are for the correct frequency range
for the module. Standard 3G antennas may not work for LTE, and vice versa. Follow your
antenna manufacturer's recommendations for proper antenna ground-plane practices.
Step 3 Connect a GPS antenna to the SMA connector labeled GPS and connect Wi-Fi
antennas to the RP-SMA connectors: one for the Main (WiFi M) and one or more (as
equipped) for Wi-Fi MIMO/Diversity (unlabeled).
Step 4 Connect the Ethernet cable to ETH1 of the Fusion (center Ethernet connector) and
connect the other end into the Ethernet port of your PC.
Step 5 Connect the DC power cable to the modem Power port and connect to an
acceptable DC power source (10 - 30 VDC). The Fusion is shipped with a DC power cable
to connect the unit to DC power. The power cable includes a fuse holder. Insert the fuse
in the power cable fuse holder before powering the unit. Cable connections are listed in
the DC Power Cable Pin-out table that follows.

After power is applied, the Fusion Power LED will light solid red for 1 second, then turn
solid amber for 5-6 seconds, blink amber for 6 seconds, and then turn solid green. If
assistance is required, refer to the Fusion User Manual (PN 001-0000-602) or contact
technical support.
Accessing the Modem's Web Server
The Fusion is configured via a Web-browser interface and contains a DHCP server which
will automatically assign an IP address to your PC, however in some cases it may be
necessary to change the network settings on the PC to accept the IP address assigned by
the Fusion.
Step 1 Enable a network connection with the following LAN settings. In the Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window, select Obtain an IP address automatically and
Obtain DNS server address automatically. Click OK and close.
Step 2 Open a Web browser and enter 192.168.1.50 in the Address bar. When the
connection Login window appears, enter the User name: admin and the Password:
password and click OK.
Note: The Ethernet cable between the Fusion and PC must be connected to ETH1 (center
Ethernet connector) for this IP address to work.
LTE Connection
From the left side of the Home page, select WWAN0 from the main navigation menu and
select the Carrier Settings tab. In the Configuration section, mark the Interface as
Enabled and click Save. Enable your Provider(s) below, entering a Name for each and
selecting the Mode, clicking Save to save your settings.
The APN, Name, and Password fields should be left blank unless you have received
specific values from the carrier. In most cases, Mode should be automatic and
Authentication should be left as Any.
It may take several minutes to establish the connection after it has been enabled for the
first time. Verify the connection is active by clicking on the Status tab.
.
IN
If the Fusion is equipped with an optional second LTE module, select WWAN1 from the
main navigation menu, select the Carrier Settings tab, and repeat the procedure for
Provider(s) on the second LTE module.
Status LED Activity
After the modem has been successfully provisioned, the SIM or UICC card has been
accepted, and an LTE data connection enabled, the Power LED and Status LED illuminate
solid green when the unit is running normally. The status light for each active WWAN will
flash amber while connecting and then blink green while connected, indicating Rx/Tx
activity.
For more information about the Status LEDs and what they indicate, refer to the Fusion
User Manual (PN 001-0000-602).
