2.3 Installation
The C365-5G-MINI should be installed and configured properly before using. The installation and
configuration should be done under supervision or by a qualified engineer.
Attention:
Do not install or connect/disconnect the cable when its power is turned on.
2.4 SIM/UIM card installation
If your router has a SIM/UIM card protector, please remove it, insert the sim card correctly, and close.
If your router has no SIM/UIM card protector, please insert the sim card correctly.
Attention: If the SIM/UIM card is not fully inserted, the router cannot identify the card normally.
Please check that the card is fully inserted.

2.5 The installation of the terminal block
Only applicable if the router requires a terminal block. The C365-5G-MINI is provided with a DB9
connector as standard. Please use the DB9 cable to connect the C365-5G-MINI and the equipment
directly.
The following is for use with a terminal block:
The C365-5G-MINI uses a pluggable terminal to connect the user’s data and the power supply.
Spacing: 3.81mm, 10 Pin; User data and power supply suggestion: 14~24AWG. Please refer to the table
below for the interface definition of the power cable and connection sequence. The the power cable
specification and the connection sequence can be read on the labels of the C365-4G-H685. Using a
14~24AWG cable and referring to the C365-5G-MINI product label or the below interface specification,
you will need to use a screwdriver to fix the cable to the connecting jacks of the terminal. After
achieving a successful connection, you need to insert the terminal into the corresponding position in
the bottom of the C365-5G-MINI router.
Notes: The connection sequence should be
accurate. Cable’s insulating striping length is
about 7mm. (For safety, the length of the wire
should be at least 7mm long.)
Attention:
1. The power cable should be connected correctly. We “suggest double checking it before
switching it on. An incorrect connection may destroy the equipment.
2. Power terminals: Pin 1 and Pin 2;
3. Pin 2 is “GND”, PIN 1 is power input “Vin” (DC5~40V, or DV5~50V).

2.6 Grounding
To ensure the safe, stable and reliable operation of the C365-4G-H685, the router casing should be
grounded properly.
2.7 Power Supply
The C365-5G-MINI can be used in difficult environments and usually the power range is very large.
So, in order to overcome troublesome environments and improve the stability of the system, the
C365-5G-MINI is designed with advanced power management technology. The DC power supply to
the device is transferred using the terminal, PIN 2(GND) and PIN 1(Vin). Please refer to the above table
for specifications of the terminal.
Normally, the C365-5G-MINI router inputs a power supply of +5～+40V (if your H685 support 50V, the
option is +5~+50V). In most cases, the standard configuration is 12V/1A.
2.8 LED and Check Network Status
Please connect the antenna after you successfully connect the cable. Insert the valid SIM/UIM card
and provide the power to the router via the cable. When the power is turned on the SYS LED starts to
blink after a few seconds, this means that the system start-up has been started; if the CELL LED lights
up, this means that the network is online; if the VPN light works, this means that the VPN tunnel has
been set up. Please refer to the below table as a guide for the indication lights.

3. Software Configuration
1. Overview
2. How to log into the Router
3. How to config the web
3.1 Overview
The C365-5G-MINI router has a built-in WEB interface configuration, management and debugging
tools. The parameters require configuring first; these parameters offer flexibility for software
upgrades and testing. Users can set up and manage the parameters of the router on its interface,
detailed steps are below:
3.2 How to log into the Router
Network Configuration of the Computer
The router default parameters are as follows: _Default IP: 192.168.1.1, sub mask: 255.255.255.0.
There are two ways to set the PC’s IP address.
