Wireless Modem
The wireless modem Expansion Card supports the same features as connecting directly to the S530 interface,
including Telnet, FTP, SSH, and so on. It also supports PPP routing, which allows communication with devices
connected to one of the local Ethernet interfaces.
The wireless EDGE modem is for use in SiteBoss products with firmware version 2.00.240 and above.
The wireless GPRS modem is for use in SiteBoss products with firmware version 2.00.330 and above
Installation
If installing the wireless modem for the first time (not factory installed), follow these installation instructions:
•
Make sure the the host S530 is powered down.
•
Insert your SIM card into the slot on the wireless modem module, with the contacts on the bottom, using
the card outline printed on the circuit board as a guide.
•
Remove the two screws for any expansion bay cover plate and set the plate aside.
•
Carefully slide the wireless modem card into the plastic rails inside the expansion bay and push the card
in all the way. Replace the two screws previously removed so the card is held securely in the bay.
•
Screw the rubber GMS antenna (or cable to an external antenna) to the SMA connector on the modem.
The unit should not be powered up without an antenna connected to the modem.
•
Power up the host unit.
Setup
In addition to installing an activated SIM card in the wireless modem card, certain settings on the host unit need to
be configured for the wireless connection to work. These settings can be configured via either Setting Keys or the
Setup Menus as described below. Changing any of these settings should be done with
net.wireless.mode
set to OFF, otherwise unexpected behavior may occur.

be configured in the Setup menus listed in parenthesis after each.
