Installing the Wireless Modules

ATTENTION
“-W” models (e.g., V2201-E2-W-T) will have a cellular card heat sink and 5 wireless SMA connectors installed during the production process.
The V2201 has two mini-PCIe sockets on the bottom panel. One socket supports USB signals only, using the MC9090, MC7354, or MC7354 mini-PCIe cards. Another socket supports standard USB + PCIe signals.
STEP1: Loosen the four screws in the middle of the bottom panel and open the bottom cover.

There are two mini-PCIe sockets: Socket 1: USB signal, for 3G/LTE mini-PCIe card (Sierra Wireless MC9090, MC7304, or MC7354).

NOTE: The cellular card heat sink is installed in socket 1.
Socket 2: Standard USB + PCIe signals, for Wi-Fi mini-PCIe card (SparkLAN WPEA-252NI).STEP 2: Insert the wireless module card at an angle.
STEP 3: Push the wireless module card down and fasten it with the 2 screws that were included with the product.
STEP 4: Connect the connectors with the corresponding wireless module cards.5 connectors are attached to the mini-PCIe sockets:
No. 1 & No. 3:
Wi-Fi mini-PCIe card
No. 2 & No. 4:
3G/LTE mini-PCIe card
No. 5: GPS
STEP 5: Replace the bottom cover.
STEP 6: You may also purchase external 3G, 4G, and Wi-Fi antennas from Moxa. Please contact a Moxa sales representative for information. After installing the wireless modules and wireless external antennas, the computer should appear as follows:

Installing the V2201

DIN-rail Mounting
The DK-DC50131 die-cast metal kit, which is shipped with the product, enables easy and robust installation of the V2201. Use the six M4*6L FMS screws included attaching the DIN-rail mounting kit tightly to the side panel of the V2201.
Installation:
STEP 1: Insert the upper lip of the DIN rail into the DIN-rail mounting kit.
STEP 2: Press the V2201 towards the DIN rail until it snaps into place.

Removal:
STEP 1: Pull down the latch on the mounting kit with a screwdriver. STEP 2 & 3:
Use a screwdriver to pry the V2201 slightly forward away from the DIN rail, and then lift the V2201 upwards to remove it from
the DIN rail.STEP 4: Press the recessed button on the spring-loaded bracket to lock it into position until the next time you need to install the V2201 to a DIN rail.Wall or Cabinet Mounting
The V2201 comes with two metal brackets for attaching it to a wall or the inside of a cabinet. Four screws (Phillips truss-headed M3*6L nickel-plated with Nylok®) are included in the kit.
Step 1: Use two screws for each bracket and attach the bracket to the rear of the V2201.Step 2: Use two screws on each side to attach the V2201 to a wall or cabinet. The product package does not include the four screws required for attaching the wall-mounting kit to the wall; they need to be purchased separately. We recommend that you use M3*5L standard screws.
ATTENTION
This equipment is intended to be used in Restricted Access Locations, such as a computer room, with access, limited to SERVICE PERSONAL or USERS who have been instructed on how to handle the metal chassis of equipment that is so hot that special protection may be needed before touching it. The location should only be accessible with a key or through a secure identity system.

Connector Description

Power Connector
Connect the 9 to 36 VDC LPS or Class 2 power line to the V2201’s terminal block. If the power is supplied properly, the Power LED will light up. The OS is ready when the Ready LED glows solid green.
ATTENTION
The power cord of the adapter should be connected to a socket outlet with earthing connection.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Adapter or DC power source, output rated 9 to 36 VDC, 3.5 to 1 A  minimum, Tma = 85 degrees C minimum.
Grounding the V2201
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the grounding screw (M4) to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power.

ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
SG: The Shielded Ground (sometimes called Protected Ground) contact is the right most of the 3-pin power terminal block connector when viewed from the angle shown here. Connect the SG wire to an appropriate grounded metal surface.

HDMI Outputs
The V2201 comes with a type A HDMI female connector on the front panel to connect an HDMI monitor.
The screw hole above the HDMI connector is used to attach a custom lock to the HDMI connector; a custom lock is needed since the shape of different HDMI connectors is not the same. Please contact a Moxa sales representative for details.
The lock appears as shown below:

The lock should appear as follows after it is attached to the V2201:
Ethernet Ports
The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports use RJ45 connectors.

Serial Ports
The serial ports use DB9 connectors. Each port can be configured by software for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. The pin assignments for the ports are shown in the following table:

SD Slot
The V2201 has an SD slot for storage expansion. The SD slot allows users to plug in an SD 3.0 standard SD card. To install an SD card, gently remove the outer cover from the left, and then insert the SD card into the slot.
USIM Slot
The V2201 has a USIM slot for 3G/LTE wireless Internet connections. To install a USIM card, gently remove the outer cover from the left, and then insert the USIM card into the slot.
USB Hosts
The V2201 has 1 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0 Type-A connectors. 2 USB 2.0 ports are located on the front panel, and 1 USB 3.0 port is on the right panel. The port supports keyboard and mouse, and can also be used to connect a Flash drive for storing large amounts of data.
Audio Interface
The audio output of the V2201 is combined with the HDMI connector.
DI/DO
The V2201 comes with 4 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs on a 2×5 terminal block.Reset Button
Press the “Reset Button” on the left side panel of the V2201 to reboot the system automatically.
Real-time Clock
The V2201’s real-time clock is powered by a lithium battery. We strongly recommend that you do not replace the lithium battery without help from a qualified Moxa support engineer. If you need to change the battery, contact the Moxa RMA service team.
ATTENTION
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type of battery.

Powering on the V2201

To power on the V2201, connect the “terminal block to power jack converter” to the V2201’s DC terminal block (located on the side panel), and then connect the 9 to 36 VDC power adapter. The computer will be automatically turned on once the power adapter is plugged in. If it does not, press the Power Button to turn on the computer. Note that the Shielded Ground wire should be connected to the top pin of the terminal block. It takes about 30 seconds for the system to boot up. Once the system is ready, the Power LED will light up.

Connecting the V2201 to a PC

Power on the V2201 computer after connecting a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and verifying that the power source is ready. Once the operating system boots up, the first step is to configure the Ethernet interface. The factory default settings for the V2201’s LANs are shown below (W7E uses DHCP).

Configuring the Ethernet Interface

Linux users should follow these steps:
If you use the console cable to configure network settings for the first time, use the following commands to edit the interfaces file:
#ifdown –a
//Disable the LAN1~LAN2 interface first, before you reconfigure the LAN settings. LAN1 = eth0, LAN2 = eth1//#vi /etc/network/interfaces //check the LAN interface first//
After the boot setting of the LAN interface has been modified, use the following commands to immediately activate the LAN settings:
#sync; ifup –a
W7E users should follow these steps:
STEP 1: Go to Start → Control Panel → Network and Internet → View network status and tasks → Change adapter setting.
STEP 2: In the Local Area Connection Properties screen, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then select Properties. Select Internet Protocol Version 4, and then click Properties.
STEP 3: Click OK after inputting the proper IP address and netmask.

NOTE Refer to the V2201 user’s manuals for other configuration information.
