STEP 8 (Optional): Connect the Ethernet cable.
o
If you are using a wired, Ethernet WAN connection, connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN port
on the back of the R1900. Connect the other end to your WAN source.
o
If you are using a wireless WAN (using cellular connectivity), you will need to power up the
router first, access your NetCloud Manager account, and then complete the setup.
STEP 9:
Power up the router.
The 4-pin GPIO cable is configured to allow for using a 4-wire/GPIO cable to hardwire power for DC
connections, or for using GPIO. Refer to the following for pin configuration:
•
Insert the 4-pin end of the power adapter into the 4-pin port on the router, ensuring appropriate
alignment of pins as illustrated above.
•
Connect the wires on the other end to the appropriate fuse or power source.
•
Allow 1 minute for the router to run through its bootup sequence.
