Installing the Router

connectors.
2. You must use diversity because this device requires two antennas.
3. Using an Ethernet cable, connect one end of the cable to the E-NET connector on the back of the router
and the other end to your computer, either directly or through a switch or hub.
4. If you are connecting to a serial interface, connect the DE-9 connector (9-pin) of the RS-232 cable to the
RS-232 connector on the router. Then connect the other end to the serial port on the desired device.

management interface describes how to configure your router.
Mounting the Device
1. Locate the groove on the bottom of the modem.
2. Slide the mounting rod through the groove.

mounting rod. The dimensions illustration in this guide shows the mounting rod, as well as the
dimensions for placement of the screws.
