Remote Power (PPoE)
One of the biggest limitations in laying out a robust cellular network is the availability of power.
Running power cabling is also a primary cost driver of cellular installations. All Accelerated
Concepts products provide delivery of both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. This
allows deployment of devices exactly where they are needed to provide the best cellular coverage
at a much lower installation cost.
It is not necessary to co-locate the 6200-FX with other telecommunication equipment. The 6200-
FX is designed to be positioned for optimal cellular signal strength. The built-in signal strength
meter and optional temporary battery pack are to be used to identify the optimal installation
location. The 6200-FX should be powered either directly using the included 12V power adapter or
over an Ethernet Category 5 cable via Passive Power over Ethernet (PoE) and the included power
injector cable. This allows the device to be mounted on high walls, suspended from the ceiling,
or even placed in a building attic. Below is a diagram detailing how to properly connect and apply
remote power to the 6200-FX through the Passive PoE injector cable.

Setting Up the 6200-FX
Some 6200-FX devices are shipped with a USB Conditioner. If you are using an AT&T Beam,
AT&T Momentum or the Sprint 341U modem, you will have the USB Conditioner. Please follow
the instructions for inserting your modem in section “A” of this guide. All other modems please
skip to section “B” for instructions.
A: Inserting the Cellular Data Card / Modem
Remove the modem cover by loosening the Phillips head screw on the bottom of the case,
turning it counter clockwise.

First, insert USB optimizer into 6200-FX device. For the AT&T Beam, fold the USB connector to
its open position. Then position USB modem with logo facing downward. Once this is done, twist
USB connector that is attached to the AT&T Beam clockwise (turn toward yourself) TWO clicks.
