DR6400 Series Installation Guide

2 Installation
The DR6400 series products are designed for indoor use (office or home). The router
should be positioned on a smooth, level surface making sure that there is adequate
ventilation. Do not expose the router to extremes of heat or cold, strong magnetic fields or
liquids.
It is important to remember that these products are wireless devices just like a mobile
phone, so they will only operate reliably over the GSM network if there is a good signal.
For many applications the stub aerial provided will be suitable but in some circumstances
it may be necessary to use a window-mounted or magnetically mounted aerial with an
extended cable to allow the aerial itself to be positioned to provide the best possible signal
reception. Sarian Systems can supply a range of suitable aerials.
Safety notice
A separation distance of at least 20cm should be maintained at all times between the
GSM/3G antenna (if used) and personnel using the unit.
Important Note
If you are going to be using the Sarian Connection Wizard to configure the unit’s Ethernet
port and also connect it to your GSM/3G network, skip this section and proceed to
Configuration.
Step 1a - Installing the SIM card(s) (GSM/EDGE/3G/UMTS/HSDPA
wireless option)
The router incorporates two separate SIM card holders so that if your application
demands it, you may install SIM cards for two different networks. This means that one
wireless service may be used as a back-up service in the event that the primary service
fails in some way. By default, SIM 1 is the default SIM used for access to the primary
network and SIM 2 is used for the back-up network.
Note:
SIM 1 and SIM 2 cannot be used to access two networks simultaneously.
Step 1b - Installing the R-UIM(s) (CDMA EV-DO 450 wireless option)
Note:
Some CDMA-450 networks do not require or support the use of Removable User Identity
Modules (R-UIM’s), commonly referred to as SIMs on GSM networks. If your service
provider does not support R-UIMS, your router will be “provisioned” for use on your
chosen network when you receive it and this stage of the installation procedure will not be
required. If your router has not been provisioned, you will need to contact your service
provider to obtain an IMSI and NAI in order to provision the unit manually. See the
configuration section for more details.

The router incorporates two separate cardholders for R-UIM’s (SIMs) so that if your
service provider and application demand it, you may install R-UIM’s for two different
networks. This means that one wireless service may be used as a back-up service in the
event that the primary service fails in some way. By default, R-UIM 1 is the default R-UIM
that is used for access to the primary network and R-UIM 2 is used for the back-up
network.
The R-UIM / SIM card(s) should be inserted into R-UIM / SIM cardholders on the right of
the front panel as illustrated below.
In both cases, the end of the R-UIM / SIM card with the chamfered corner should be
inserted first. For R-UIM / SIM 1 the contacts should be face down. For R-UIM / SIM 2 the
contacts should be face up.
Step 2a – Fitting the GSM/EDGE/3G/UMTS/HSDPA wireless antenna (if
applicable)
The router is supplied with a “stub” antenna suitable for with the model you have ordered.
Alternatively you may have ordered a different type of antenna separately. In either case
this should be screwed onto the SMA aerial connector on the rear of the unit.
Step 2b – Fitting the CDMA antennas (if applicable)
