HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Step 1. Connect Network Interfaces
Connect the device to a local network using any of the available physical
network interfaces. All interfaces will receive a dynamic
address via DHCP and DHCPv6.
Additionally, the device can be accessed from a computer or local network via
interface NET1 with a static IPv4 address 192.168.0.1/24.

LAN | NET2 |
Table: Default firewall zones for interfaces
Step 2. Connect Cellular Antennas
For -L models, attach the included antennas or external mount to the CELL
(MAIN) and CELL (AUX) connectors.
If you have a data plan, insert a carrier-provided mini-SIM into the first SIM
card slot (slot 1) with contacts facing upward.
Note : You will hear a click when it is correctly inserted.
Step 3. Connect Serial Devices
Connect managed devices to the serial interfaces on the front of the unit.
Step 4. Connect USB Devices
USB serial devices can be connected to the USB slots at the front of the unit
if required.
Note: USB ports A and B are USB 2.0 and ports C and D are USB 3.0.
Step 5. Connect The Power
Connect the power cable to the rear of the unit.
On dual power supply units, a second power cable can be connected if
redundancy is required. The power cables can be connected in any order.
Note: On devices with a single power supply, the LED power status indicator will be green at all times.
ACCESS THE DEVICE
Step 1. Log in via the Web UI
