2: Powering the oMG On and Off
2.1 Powering On
The oMG has a factory default configuration that enables it to establish a WAN
connection if a cellular modem is installed along with an appropriate SIM card, and
the APN is configured correctly. Note that additional configuration is always
recommended.
Start the unit using the following steps:
1.
Apply power to the system: if the oMG has been installed and wired into a
vehicle’s electrical system, turn on the ignition. If the oMG is not in a vehicle, an
optional AC power adaptor can also be used to supply 12V-DC power to the
system.
2.
Turn on the unit: by default the oMG should start up automatically once it receives
power. If it does not, press the reset button on the back of the unit. Once power
up is complete the amber and green LED's will remain solid. For more information
on the LED patterns see
3.
Test the unit: connect a test device such as a PC, equipped with Ethernet or WiFi,
to the oMG LAN. An oMG with factory default settings will provide an unsecured
WiFi access point (AP) broadcasting its own Serial Number as the SSID (e.g.
H100109D0002) and will also provide LAN access using Ethernet ports 1 to 3.

Once these steps have been completed, the oMG is ready for use, however further
configuration of the unit should be performed using the sections provided in this
document.
2.2 Powering Off
When powering down the unit, ensure that at least three minutes have elapsed since
the unit’s green
Status
light began to blink or at least two minutes have elapsed since
the light went solid.
This is necessary to ensure proper preparation of configuration files, in particular,
upon the first boot after a factory reset which takes longer than normal to prepare
these files. If this process is interrupted by a premature shutdown and/or removal of
power from the oMG, the process will repeat on subsequent boots until it is
successfully completed.
