MegaTron Quick Steps
Our cell router packages are a plug and play
setup. The controller CAT5 is connected to
the ROUTER-3 CAT5 via a coupler. Then plug
in the ROUTER-3’s electrical cord to power.
Troubleshooting (additional on back)
Step 1:
This is the RUN Screen. When the controller
is communicating with our network correctly,
there will be a steady DR (DA) code displayed.
If the code alternates DR/DL (or a steady DC)
this usually means that the cellular signal is
not strong enough. The ROUTER-3 box and
antenna may need to be relocated to an area of
regular cell reception. CAT5 cable run over 328
ft. requires a repeater or switching appliance.
