USB Cable Recommendations

If your device has a USB connector, to avoid enumeration or power issues:

Use a high-speed USB cable that is as short as possible.

Use a well-shielded cable with at least 24 AWG wire pair for power/ground and 28 AWG wire pair for data
lines.

If possible, use a USB port that connects directly to the motherboard rather than a USB port with added
cabling inside the computer chassis.

Use USB 3.0 ports if available. These ports are typically rated for more current.

You can order the USB cable through MultiTech. The part number is CA-USB-A-MINI-B-3

Powering Down Your Device

CAUTION:

Failing to properly power down the device before removing power may corrupt your device's file

system.

To properly power down your device, use the following sequence :

1.

Issue the AT#SHDN command.

2.

Wait 30 seconds.

3.

Power off or disconnect power.

Mounting Device to Flat Surface

1.

Locate the groove on the bottom of the device.

2.

Slide the mounting bracket through the groove.

3.

To secure the bracket to the desired surface, place and tighten two screws in the holes on either end of
the mounting bracket. The dimensions illustration in this guide shows the mounting bracket, as well as
the dimensions for placement of the screws.
