5. Bench test / Step-by-Step guide
Before starting to work with the HW please be sure that you have a SIM card enabled for data and you
have all the necessary information from the mobile operator (PIN, APN, login, passwd)
5.1. Connecting the hardware
5.1.1. Install the SIM card
Insert a SIM card into the SIM socket. If the router has two SIM card sockets, use the first one. Make
sure the SIM is enabled for data transmission.
There are two reasons for installing the SIM card as the first task: a) the SIM card could be damaged
when inserted into the powered equipment, b) the information from SIM card are read only after a power
cycle.
5.1.2. Connect the GSM/UMTS antenna
Fit a GSM/UMTS antenna. For details see Section 4.6, “Accessories” or contact RACOM for suitable
antennas.
5.1.3. Connect the LAN cable
Connect one M!DGE/MG102i Ethernet port to your computer using an Eth cat.5 cable.
5.1.4. Connect the power supply
Connect the power supply wires to the M!DGE/MG102i screw terminals, ensuring correct polarity.
Switch on the power supply.
5.2. Powering up your wireless router
Switch on your power supply. The status LED flashes for a few seconds and after 8 seconds it starts
blinking to a green light. After approximately 30 seconds your router will have booted and will be ready;
the Status LED remains shining.
When the Mobile Connection is enabled the Connect LED starts blinking while connecting to the
GPRS/UMTS network – the color (green/orange/red) represents the signal strength (excellent, medium,
weak).
You’ll find the description of the individual LED states in Section 4.3, “Indication LEDs”.
5.3. Connecting MG102i to a programming PC
a.
Please connect the Ethernet interfaces of your computer and MG102i.
b.
If not yet enabled, please enable the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) so that your
computer can lease an IP address from MG102i. Wait a moment until your PC has received the
parameters (IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server).
Alternative: Instead of using the DHCP, configure a static IP address on your PC (e.g.
192.168.1.10
mask
255.255.255.0
) so that it is operating in the same subnet as the MG102i.
