Chapter 2 – Getting Started

Step 2. Connect Antenna, Ethernet, & Power

Antenna

Connect a suitable antenna to SMA connector. An antenna is supplied with the bundled package ship kit. If you purchase a single unit, you must supply your own antenna. See the User Guide for antenna/RF specifications.

Ethernet

Using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable, connect the 10/100 jack to an internal network switch or hub.

Power

Plug one end of the power cord into the device and the other end onto a live power outlet.

Notes

The PWR LED. The PWR LED lights after power-up.

The Reset Button. Pressing and holding the Reset button for 5 seconds will restore all factory default settings.

Power Supply Cable

Ethernet Cable

This part of the power supply cable varies by the region of the world to which the product is shipped: NAM / EU / GB / IE

Note: Units shipped with the universal AC power supply are not suited for installation in hazardous locations.

Fused DC Power Connection

Connect the direct-DC power supply cable into the DC power source on the vehicle or machine in which you are mounting the modem. Be sure the GND connection is correct.

Connect red wire to + (positive) and black wire to – (negative).

Note: For automotive application: according to the type of application, you can use permanent “+” or key- switched “+”. Connect the power supply to its source (for example, in a mobile situation, to the vehicle’s DC fuse/terminal block).

Warning: Do not connect your wireless modem directly to a vehicle’s battery for your power source. Doing so may cause power spikes. If you wish to use the battery as a power source, add a filtering device to the DC input.

RJ-9, RJ-45 specifications

Multi-Tech Systems offers a range of communication solutions, prominently featuring the RJ-45 and RJ-9 connectors that are crucial in networking and telecommunications. These connectors are foundational to many applications, enabling efficient data transfer and ensuring reliable voice communications.

The RJ-45 connector is primarily used in Ethernet networks. It features eight pins and is designed for high-speed data transmission, making it the standard for wired local area networks (LANs). This connector supports various Ethernet standards including Fast Ethernet (100BASE-T), Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T), and even 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T). An essential characteristic of the RJ-45 is its versatility, as it can be used with both straight-through and crossover cable configurations. This flexibility allows for straightforward connectivity between devices such as computers, routers, and switches.

Multi-Tech Systems employs advanced technology in their RJ-45 connectors, including support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). This innovation permits electrical power and data to be transmitted over the same cable, simplifying installations and reducing the need for additional wiring. The robust design of these connectors ensures durability and minimizes signal interference, thereby maximizing data integrity during transmission.

On the other hand, the RJ-9 connector, also known as the RJ-9 or RJ-10 connector, is typically used in telephone and headset applications. Characterized by its smaller size and four or six pins, the RJ-9 is optimized for voice frequency communication. It connects devices such as telephones, headsets, and other VoIP equipment, delivering clear audio quality that is essential for effective communication.

One standout feature of the RJ-9 connector is its ability to provide superior noise resistance, making it ideal for environments with significant electromagnetic interference. Multi-Tech Systems' RJ-9 connectors are designed for ease of use, allowing quick and simple connections. These connectors can often be found in various telephony devices, ensuring that they remain a staple in personal, commercial, and industrial communication systems.

In conclusion, Multi-Tech Systems continues to lead in the provision of reliable RJ-45 and RJ-9 connectors, integrating innovative technologies that enhance performance in data and voice communication. Whether in a high-speed networking environment or in everyday telephony applications, these connectors deliver the functionality and quality demanded by modern users. Their design and engineering reflect a commitment to excellence, helping users stay connected in an increasingly digital world.
