INSTALLATION STEPS
Before beginning installation:
If you are not yet an Uplink dealer, register by visiting
www.uplink.com and click on the “new dealer account” tab.
Step 1.
Activate the system. The Uplink 2500EZ operates “out of the box” with
most commercial panels. No additional programming or equipment is required. To
activate with default functions, go to www.uplink.com (or ex.uplink.com for web-
enabled mobile phones), or call 1-888-987-5465. Consult the Quick Installation
Guide included with the 2500EZ.
Step 2.
Install the antenna on the top of the unit.
Step 3.
Position the unit for maximum signal strength. Connect the unit to a 12V DC,
500mA power supply. Be sure the area is dry and free from interference of metal
objects and obstructions.
Step 4.
Determine network availability and signal strength.
a) GSM signals strength should be -100dB minimum. Relocated the unit or install a
high-gain antenna if necessary.
