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, use the first one. Make sure the SIM is enabled for data trans-
mission.
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 cellular antenna
Fit a cellular antenna. For details see
or contact RACOM for suitable antennas.
5.1.3. Connect the LAN cable
Connect one M!DGE 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 screw terminals, ensuring correct polarity. Switch on
the power supply.
5.2. Powering up your wireless router
Switch on your power supply. The STAT 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 STAT LED remains shining.
When the Mobile Connection is enabled the WAN LED starts blinking while connecting to the cellular
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 M!DGE to a programming PC
a. Please connect the Ethernet interfaces of your computer and M!DGE.
b. If not yet enabled, please enable the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) so that your
computer can lease an IP address from M!DGE. 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 M!DGE.
