Choose the appropriate cable type and length. The table below provides can help pre-determine the loss to expect.

All Rights Reserved. 11 IndustrialPro Router Hardware Guide Installation and verification When installing the antenna, follow the FCC and Industry Canada guidelines and keep the following in mind: Mount the antenna(s) at least 30 cm (12 inches) from other antennas Do not install the antenna in a closed metallic enclosure (such as a cabinet or the trunk of a car). Once a modem has a signal, the Signal LED indicator will start flashing according to the signal strength. Additionally, the Web Interface can display the received signal strength (RSSI) on the status page. The modem should have at the very least one bar of signal strength. Antenna diversity The Sixnet 6000 series modems except for the BT/SN-64xx series have two antenna connectors available, labeled Antenna and Diversity. Antenna: This is the main antenna that is used for data transmission. It is mandatory to have the Antenna port connected to an antenna. Diversity: This is the diversity antenna, used to improve on the signal strength obtained from the main antenna. This antenna is not mandatory however it will improve throughput in low signal and fringe areas. Diversity is a transmission technique that consists of using two separate antennas to achieve the most robust cellular signal possible. Diversity will help achieve fast, reliable data throughput in applications that require a high amount of bandwidth. To get the best performance, the Diversity antenna should be placed at a minimum of 5/8 of a wave length away from the other antenna. Therefore, the minimum spacing for antennas in the 800 MHz frequency is 5/8 * 13.5” = 8.5”. The diversity antenna can be spaced further away than this, ideally in increments of 13.5”: 22”, 35”, etc. For a 1900 MHz only network, the optimal distance would be 5/8 * 6.2” = 4”. 2.3 Ethernet cable If you are connecting to the modem via the Ethernet port, you will need a straight or crossover category 5 cable with two 8-pin RJ45 connectors on each end. To visually confirm that Ethernet cabling was done properly, check the LED indication on the Ethernet port located at the rear panel of the modem. The Link LED should be on when the right cable is used. 2.4 USB cable This is an Ethernet-over-USB connection which behaves like an Ethernet connection. It can only be connected to a PC with Windows XP or Windows Vista installed. If you are connecting to the modem via the USB port, you will need a Type A plug to Type B plug USB cable for the mini Type B plug to Type A plug for the BT/SN6000 series modems. In order for the USB connection to work, you need to install the Sixnet USB driver which is available at www.sixnet.com.

All Rights Reserved. 12 IndustrialPro Router Hardware Guide 2.5 Serial cable The modem has all its serial port pins enabled. If all the pins are enabled on the attached serial device, it is important to know whether the device is using DTE or DCE as a communication mode. The modem is a DCE device, so use a straight-through serial cable between the modem and a DTE device such as a terminal. Use a NULL modem cable adapter between the modem and a DCE device such as another modem. If using custom wiring or if some pins are disabled, follow the guidelines below. The wiring will vary depending on whether the attached serial device is a DTE or DCE. 2.6 Power source IMPORTANT Any installations involving electrical wiring and connections should be done by someone who is experienced in this field. As described in the Power specifications and consumption section, the modem can be powered using: 4-pin Molex connector for the BT/SN-6x00 models 4-pin screw terminal for the BT/SN-6x01, BT/SN-6x01EB and BT/SN-6x21 models DC 2.5mm round plug for all models PoE (Power over Ethernet) for BT/SN-6x01EB models WARNING DC 2.5mm Barrel Adapter shall not be used in hazardous locations. Powering up the modem The modem will power up as soon as an 8 to 30 VDC voltage is applied to one of its power inputs and shuts off when this input voltage is below 4 VDC. Testing the power connection Check the PWR light on the modem: if it is turned on then the modem is powered. If it’s off, then review the installation procedures, or contact Sixnet Technical Support for further assistance. Sixnet, LLC Corporate Headquarters 331 Ushers Road, Ballston Lake, NY 12019 FLEXIBLE.
