4. Installation
The NB3000-Line-Hd (with IP65 compliant case) is designed for mounting it on a worktop,
a wall or in a switch cabinet. Please consider the safety instructions in chapter
and the
environmental conditions in chapter
The following precautions must be taken before installing a NB3000-Line-Hd router:
• Avoid direct solar radiation
• Protect the device from aggressive fluids and gases
• Guarantee sufficient circulation of air around the device
• Guarantee that the compensating valve is not blocked
Attention:
NetModule routers are not intended for the end consumer market.
The device must be installed and commissioned by a certified expert.
4.1. Installation of the SIM Cards
Up to four SIM cards can be inserted in a NB3000-Line-Hd router.
SIM cards can be inserted by sliding it into one of the designated slots on the front panel.
You have to push the SIM card using a small paper clip (or similar) until it snaps into place.
To remove the SIM, you will need to push it again in the same manner. The SIM card will
then rebounds and can be pulled out.
SIMs can be assigned flexibly to any modem in the system. It is also possible to switch a
SIM to a different modem during operation, for instance if you want to use another provider
upon a certain condition. However, a SIM switch usually takes about 10-20 seconds which
can be bypassed (e.g. at bootup) if SIMs are installed reasonably. Using only a single SIM
with one modem, it should be preferably placed into the SIM 1 holder. For systems which
should operate two modems with multiple SIMs in parallel, we recommend to assign
MOB 1
to SIM 1 and
MOB 2
to SIM 2 and so on.
Further information about SIM configuration can be found in chapter
Attention:
After a SIM Switch the SIM Cover of the NB3000-Line-Hd router has
to be mounted again and screwed with 0.4Nm to get IP65 protection class.
4.2. Installation of the GSM/UMTS/LTE Antenna
NetModule routers will only operate efficiently in the cellular network if there is a good sig-
nal. A stub antenna will be suitable for most applications. However, in some circumstances
it might be necessary to use remote antennas together with an extended cable to reach a
