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.

Illustration of OM1200 network interfaces: NET1(S), NET1(C), NET2(S), NET2(C).

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. [serial]

Step 4. Connect USB Devices

USB serial devices can be connected to the USB slots ? on 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.
