CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
3.4 USB PORT CONNECTION
Most console servers have external USB ports. LES1700 Series Console Servers have USB 3.0 ports. On other models, these ports
are mostly USB 2.0. They can be used for:
connecting to UPS or PDU managed devices (for managing UPS supplies, for example).
connecting an external USB memory stick
connecting to USB Consoles.
The LES1700 series models have two front-facing USB 3.0 ports.
Some console server models also come with internal USB connections to cellular modem and/or flash memory.
The LES1600 models have an internal 4 GB USB flash drive as well as four unallocated external USB 2.0 ports. These four
unallocated USB ports are labelled 1–4 on the device itself and in the Web interface.
3.5 FITTING CELLULAR SIM AND ANTENNAS
The LES1700-V/-T/-R-I models all have an internal 4G LTE cellular modem that requires at least one SIM card to be installed and two
external cellular antennas to be attached.
The LES1700 models also have an internal 802.11 wireless modem that requires at least one external WiFi antenna to be attached.
3.5.1 LES1604A-V/-T/-R MODELS
LES1600s come with internal 4G LTE modems and dual mini-SIM card slots (LES1604A-V, -T, -R).
The -T models work with AT&T USA. The -Vmodels work with Verizon USA and the -R models work with global 4G LTE carriers.
NOTE: Some models are also multi-carrier. The LES1604A-T, for example, works with AT&T USA by default but can be reset to work with
Verizon USA.
Whichever carrier you choose, their SIM card activates the data plan and must be installed before powering on the device.
Dual-SIM models use a SIM cradle. The cradle holds the SIM card or cards and slides into the dual-SIM-card slot on the front of the
device. The bottom slot is the default slot. If you have a dual-SIM LES1600 and only one SIM card, insert the card into the bottom slot of
the SIM cradle. No matter the specific configuration, SIM cards go into the cradle with the contacts upwards and the notch inward and
adjacent to the longer cradle arm.
LES1600 models also come with two external 7-band cellular antennas. Screw the provided antennas on to the main Cell (M) and
diversity Cell (A) SMA connectors on the rear panel. An external GPS passive antenna with magnetic base, SMA connector and 2 meter
cable is available (not included). Screw it on to the GPS SMA connector on the rear panel.
