3. Installation and configuration

3.1. Installation step-by-step

Follow the steps below to install the GX GSM:

1. Mount the device in a place that is not covered by metal objects. Consider using the optional outdoor antenna when installing

the GX GSM in a closed metal enclosure, car, or van to increase the range.

2. Mount the supplied antenna to the SMA connector marked GSM or connect an optional external outdoor antenna if required.

3. An optional active GPS antenna is screwed onto the SMA connector labeled GPS.

4. Insert the SIM card. You will need to eject the SIM card tray with a pen or other pointy object. Be aware that the SIM card tray

sits slightly recessed inside the unit. Be sure to push it all the way in.

5. Connect the GX GSM to the GX device with the supplied USB cable. Use a USB hub if all USB sockets are already in use.

6. Connect the DC power supply (8 to 70 VDC). A 1.4 m cable with M10 cable lugs and a built-in Slow Blow fuse 3.15A 250V,

5x20mm is included. Pay attention to the correct polarity as labeled on the front sticker.

7. After power-up, the blue LED will be solid blue. Once it has registered on a network, the LED will start blinking slowly. Finally,

when the internet connection is established, the LED will blink quickly.
