Ethernet Cable
An Ethernet cable is connected to both the Ethernet port on the 6200-FX and the end device (client
computer, AT&T VPN 8200, router, etc.). If the device is a router or AT&T VPN 8200, the Ethernet
cable should be inserted into either the Internet, WAN, or Uplink port (see device’s User Guide)

Power
A 12-volt AC power supply, a passive PoE injector cable, or an optional 12-volt battery pack must be
used to power the 6200-FX.
The 6200-FX device can only operate with one supply of power.
DO NOT supply power to the device with both the PoE cable and the 12-volt battery/12-volt
AC power supply.
The optional 12-volt battery supplied with the 6200-FX device typically has a life of 2-3 hours.
The 12-volt battery is not intended to be a permanent power source for the unit. If the 12-
volt battery is being utilized be sure you are using a new battery.

Ethernet Options
The 6200-FX device is by default configured for Auto-negotiation, but can be configured for a different
Ethernet negotiation setting. Below is a list of the Ethernet negotiation settings that the 6200-FX can
be configured to.
10 Mbps Full Duplex
100 Mbps Full Duplex
10 Mbps Half Duplex
100 Mbps Full Duplex
Auto-negotiation
While in this setting, the 6200-FX device communicates with the device connected
to the other end of the Ethernet cable and chooses the highest performance
transmission mode that both devices support. This is typically 100 Mbps Full
Duplex.

Location
The placement of the 6200-FX device at a particular site greatly affects the signal received from the
cellular network. To maximize signal strength, do the following:
Ensure that a cellular network tower is in the vicinity of the site where the 6200-FX is located.
Contact your cellular provider for further information.
Place the 6200-FX in an open space as far from the floor as possible within the site. Ensure that
the location where the unit is placed is free of electrical interference (magnetic fields, other
cellular devices, etc.)
