Sofia and Virena Surveillance Installation Overview
There are a few simple steps required in order to set up your Virena Router and Sofia.
Let’s begin with the Virena Router:
Virena Router Installation and Connection
1.
Connect the Cellular (WWAN) Antenna(s):
Connect the cellular antenna to the “WWAN PRIMARY”
and “WWAN Secondary” (Figure 1) connector on the router. The dual antennas provide improved
signal strength resulting in better performance.
2.
Connect the Power Supply:
Connect the barrel plug end of the power supply to the power
connector on the router, then plug the other end into a wall outlet (Figure 2).
Note:
The barrel plug end of the power supply has a twist lock connector which can be secured by
rotating it 90 degrees once installed into the Virena Router.
3.
Connectivity Verification:
After powering on the Virena Router wait five (5) minutes before
confirming the following lights are illuminated for connection purposes (Figure 3).
n
POWER – solid green light
n
SERVICE – solid green light
n
WWAN – this light should flash three (3) times, pause and repeat
n
SIGNAL – for the initial connection, verify a minimum of two (2) bars illuminated
Note:
The connection provisioning time may take up to 30 minutes. If there is no internet access or if
LAN connection is preferred, please contact Quidel Technical Support at 800.874.1517 (in the U.S.),
858.552.1100 (outside the U.S.) or e-mail [email protected].
