2.1 Environmental Conditions
The following precaution must be taken before installing NetBox:
Avoid direct solar radiation.
Protect the device from humidity, steam and aggressive fluids
Grant sufficient circulation of air around NetBox.
For indoor use only

Temperature range NB1310 and NB2210: 0 °C to +55 °C
Humidity: 0 to 95% (non condensing)
Altitude up to 4000m

Pollution Degree: 2
2.2 Installation of the Router
NetBox is designed for mounting to a panel using through holes or to be put on a worktop. Please consider
the safety instructions (chapter 1.1) and the environmental conditions (chapter 2.1).
2.2.1 Installation of the SIM Card(s)
The router incorporates two separate SIM card sockets so that if your application demands it, you may install
SIM cards for two different networks. If you only use one SIM card insert it in SIM socket 1. Make sure the
SIM is suitable for data transmission.
2.2.2 Installation of the UMTS/GSM Antenna
NetBox Wireless Routers will only operate reliably over the GSM network if there is a good signal. For many
applications the flexible stub antenna provided will be suitable but in some circumstances it may be neces-
sary to use a remote antenna with an extended cable to allow the antenna itself to be positioned to provide
the best possible signal reception. NetModule can supply a range of suitable antennas.
Consider the effects caused by Faraday cages such as large metal surfaces (elevators, machine housings,
etc.), close meshed iron constructions.
Fit the antenna or connect the antenna cable to the GSM antenna connector.
2.2.3 Installation of the GPS Antenna
Use active GPS antennas for best signal reception.
2.2.4 Installation of the Local Area Network
Up to four Ethernet devices can directly be connected to the NetBox.
2.2.5 Installation of the Power Supply
NetBox can be powered with the included power supply or another external source supplying between 9 and
32 Volts DC (9-28 Volts DC NB2210). NetBox is for use with certified (CSA or equivalent) power supply,
which must have a limited and SELV circuit output.
