2. Installation
2.1. Environmental Conditions
The following precaution must be taken before installing M!DGE/MG102:
•
Avoid direct solar radiation
•
Protect the device from humidity, steam and aggressive fluids
•
Grant sufficient circulation of air around M!DGE/MG102
•
For indoor use only
•
Temperature range MG102-1xx: −20 °C to +70 °C
•
Temperature range MG102-2xx: −20 °C to +65 °C
•
Temperature range M!DGE: −20 °C to +65 °C
•
Humidity: 0 to 95 % (non condensing)
•
Altitude up to 4000 m (MG102)
•
Mains Voltage Ripple less than ±10 % of the nominal voltage
•
Overvoltage Category: II
•
Pollution Degree: 2
2.2. Installation of the Router
MG102 is designed for mounting to a panel using through holes or to be put on a worktop for installing
to DIN rails use DIN rail bracket. M!DGE is designed for mounting to a DIN rail. M!DGE is designed for
mounting to a DIN rail. Please consider the safety instructions and the environmental conditions.
2.2.1. Installation of the SIM Card(s)
The MG102 router incorporates two separate SIM card sockets so that if your application demands it,
you may install SIM cards for two different networks of two different mobile network operators. If you
only use one SIM card insert it in SIM socket 1.
M!DGE has only one SIM card socked. For instalation of SIM card the cover has to be removed. Make
sure the SIM is suitable for data transmission.
2.2.2. Installation of the UMTS/GSM Antenna
MG102 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 necessary to use a remote antenna with an extended cable to allow the antenna itself to be positioned
to provide the best possible signal reception. MG102 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.
Note
Be sure that the antenna was installed according to the recommendation of antenna producer
and all parts of antenna and antenna holder was properly fasten.
