• 

Wait until the GSM LED flashes; if the LED does not flash after a few minutes, see the chapter of the GSM antenna.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

• 

Check that the Hub appears on the console: the presence indicator of the Hub changes from red to green.

 

• 

If the Hub appears on the console, it is functional; you can go to the connection step of the Hub to the equipment and/or the network of 
the building.

 

• 

If the Hub does not appear on the console, see the GSM Antenna chapter.

 

 

GSM Antenna

 

 

The Hub is supplied with a standard GSM antenna.

 

 

For the United States, please use an antenna with 

 

a gain not exceeding that shown in the table: 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

• 

If the quality of the GSM signal is good: keep the original antenna installed on the Hub.

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

• 

If the signal quality is insufficient: move the original antenna out of the cabinet; use an RF extension cord with SMA connector, up to 2 
meters, + 1 adhesive support to hold the antenna.

 

• 

If the signal quality is still insufficient: use a high

-

gain antenna with a maximum of 10 meters of cable; this antenna can, for example, 

be moved to the outside or to the other floors to obtain a better signal quality. Please note that, beyond 15 meters of cable, the GSM 
signal is significantly weakened.
