7) RMS (Remote Management System)
8) DI/DO (Digital Input /Output): H820 does not include DI/DO feature default. Please skip
this feature in the manual.
2) Find the modem type info at the back cover of the router. This will be used while do
configuration.
For example: the following label indicates the version, type and inside module modem.
The module modem name is “ME909s-120”, remember this and will select this module name while
do configuration.
1.2 Prepare SIM Card and working condition
1. H820 router has different version. Study your router version before installation.
2. For GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA/HSUPA/HSPA/HSPA+/4G LTE version, please get a SIM
card with data business.
3. For CDMA2000 EVDO/CDMA1x version, please get a UIM card with data business or
inform us before order if the network uses non-ruim (nam-flashing).

4. Make sure the sim card or uim card is with enough data business and balance.
5. Make sure the signal is good enough where you test or install the router. Weak signal will
make the router no work. If you find your signal strength is not good, please contact us for
high gain antenna.
6. Different countries and carriers use different network band and frequency. E-Lins packs
units with free world-wide-use antenna. It can work, but the data speed or signal may not be
good at your sites. Please buy dedicated high gain antenna from your local suppliers or
contact E-Lins to OEM/ODM the antenna.
1.3 Highly recommendation for the configuration
The wireless cellular is unstable sometimes with some uncertain issue. In order to keep the
router working in the best condition, it is highly recommended that the Cell ICMP Check
feature is activated. Please refer to chapter 3.5.1 to configure.

2.4 SIM/UIM card installed
If your router has SIM/UIM card protector, please remove it, insert the sim card correctly,
and fix the protector.
If your router has no SIM/UIM card protector, please insert the sim card correctly.
Notes:
SIM/UIM card does not reach the designated position, the equipment can not find a card,
can't work normally, therefore inserted a try to check again for a SIM Card is stuck fast.
2.5 The installation of terminal blocks
This chapter is for version with terminal blocks only. Default, the H820 is with DB9
connector. Please use DB9 cable to connect H820 and the equipment directly.
The following is for version with terminal blocks only:
H820 uses pluggable terminals to connect the user’s data and the power supply. Spacing:
3.81mm, 2 Pins; User data and power supply suggestion: 14~24AWG. Please refer to the
table 2-4 for the interface definition of the power cable and connection sequence. Specific
interface definition of the power cable and connection sequence you can read on the
labels of H820 products. Using 14~24AWG cable and referring to H820 products labels
or the bellowed interface definition and connection sequence, you need to use the oblate
screw driver to fix the cable to the connecting jacks of the pluggable terminal. After
successfully connection, you need to insert the terminal into the corresponding position in
the bottom of the H820 products.
Notes: Connection sequence should be accurate。 Cable’s insulating striping length is
about 7mm. (For safety, insulating striping length should be too long). Please refer to the
picture.

2.6 Grounding
To ensure a safe, stable and reliable H820 series operation, Router cabinet should be
grounded properly.
2.7 Power Supply
H820 series can be applied to complicated external environment and usually the power
range is very large. So in order to fit the complicated application environment and improve
the stability of the system, H820 series is designed with advanced power management
technology. The DC power supply electronic to the device via the pluggable terminal PIN
2(GND) and PIN 1(VCC). Please refer to the above table for the detail definition of the
terminal.
Normally, H820 series input powers supply is +5～+40V (if your H820 support 60V, the
option is +5~+60V). In most cases, the standard configuration is 12V/1A.
2.8 LED and Check Network Status
Please connect the antenna after you successfully connect to the cable. And then insert the valid
SIM/UIM card and provide the power to the H820 series via the cable. After provide the power to
Attention:
1.The power cable should be connected correctly. We “suggestion double check
before switch it on. Wrong connections may destroy the equipment.
2.Power terminals: Pin 1 and Pin 2;
