. Hardware Setup and Installation
This sectio details how to i stall the BrioCo ect™ Gateway before use.
.1. SIM Card Insertion
The BrioCo ect™ Gateway requires that a valid 3FF Micro-SIM card be i stalled i order to establish a
wireless co ectio with the cellular service provider.
I sert the 3FF Micro-SIM Card with the co tacts faci g up as show below. A “click” will be felt whe
the SIM card has bee fully i serted. Improper i stallatio may cause i termitte t co ectio or failure
to co ect to the cellular etwork.
Figure 3-1. 3FF Micro-SIM Card Installation
.2. Antenna Installation
O e or two a te a(s) must be co ected to the device, depe di g o model, to the SMA co ectors
located o the fro t of the u it. The first a te a is used for tra smissio a d receptio while the
seco d a te a is used for receptio diversity. It is recomme ded to i stall both a te as i order to
improve the sig al stre gth a d get better performa ce. Good quality coaxial exte sio cable may be
used if eeded to positio the a te a(s) farther from the device. The SMA co ectors have sta dard
polarity (i.e. are ot reverse polarity).
The
SMA co ectors
must be mated

device. The followi g helps u dersta di g a d i terpreti g the sig al i fo parameters:
- For 2-3G cellular etworks:
- The lower EC/NO value, the better the quality.
- The higher RSCP value, the better the sig al stre gth.
The two parameters eed to be i terpreted i co ju ctio s. For example, low RSCP a d high
EC/IO is bad, but low RSCP a d low EC/IO is great.
- For 4G (LTE) cellular etwork: The higher the values of RSRP a d RSSI are, the better are the sig al
