General Safety Guidelines for EMS Hardware Equipment
The following guidelines help ensure your safety and protect the hardware equipment from damage. The list
of guidelines might not address all potentially hazardous situations in your working environment, so be alert
and exercise good judgment at all times.
Perform only the procedures explicitly described in this documentation. Make sure that only
authorized service personnel perform other system services.
Keep the area around the chassis clear and free from dust before, during, and after installation.
Keep tools away from areas where people could trip over them while walking.
Wear safety glasses if you are working under any conditions that could be hazardous to your eyes.
Do not perform any actions that create a potential hazard to people or make the equipment unsafe.
Never install or manipulate wiring during electrical storms.
Never install electrical jacks in wet locations unless the jacks are specifically designed for wet
environments.
Operate the hardware equipment only when the chassis is properly grounded.
Do not open or remove chassis covers or sheet metal parts unless instructions are provided in this
documentation. Such an action could cause severe electrical shock.
Do not push or force any objects through any opening in the chassis frame. Such an action could
result in electrical shock or fire.
Avoid spilling liquid onto the chassis or onto any hardware component. Such an action could cause
electrical shock or damage the hardware equipment.
Do not use the device where inflammables or explosives are stored, for example, in a fuel station, oil
depot, or chemical plant. Otherwise, explosions or fires may occur.
Use only the accessories supplied or authorized by the device manufacturer. Otherwise, the
performance of the device may get affected, the warranty for the device or the laws and regulations
related to telecommunications terminals may become null and void, or an injury may occur.
Do not use the power adapter if its cable is damaged. Otherwise, electric shocks or fires may occur.
Do not use the antennas if the connectors, cables, or antennas are damaged. Otherwise, radio
frequency interference or electric shock may occur.
Installation Safety Guidelines and Warnings
Read the installation instructions before you connect the hardware equipment to a power source.
Rack-Mounting Requirements (Optional)
Ensure that the equipment rack into which the chassis is installed is evenly and securely supported, to avoid
the hazardous condition that could result from uneven mechanical loading.

Operating Temperature Warning
To prevent the hardware equipment from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the
maximum recommended ambient temperature of 40°C. To prevent airflow restriction, allow at least 2 inches
of clearance around the rear ventilation grille.
Do not expose to direct sunlight.
Do not place containers of liquids on the device or allow the device to come in contact with liquids.
Do not place near or on a source of heat.
Product Disposal Warning
Disposal of this product must be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
See Appendix C for details.
General Electrical Safety Warnings for EMS Hardware Equipment
Radio Frequency Interference
You can reduce or eliminate the emission of radio frequency interference (RFI) from your site wiring by using
twisted-pair network cabling with a good distribution of grounding conductors. If you must exceed the
recommended distances, use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data
signal when applicable.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
If your site is susceptible to problems with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), particularly from lightning or
radio transmitters, you might want to seek expert advice. Strong sources of electromagnetic interference
(EMI) can destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the router and conduct power surges over the lines into
the equipment, resulting in an electrical hazard. It is particularly important to provide a properly grounded
and shielded environment and to use electrical surge-suppression devices.
AC Power Electrical Safety Guidelines
The i-MO requires an AC supply of 100-240Volts, 50/60Hz and can draw a current of up to 2 Amps.
i-MO routers are shipped with a three-wire electrical cord with a grounding-type plug that fits only a
grounding-type power outlet. Do not circumvent this safety feature. Equipment grounding should comply with
local and national electrical codes. The power cord serves as the main disconnecting device. The socket
outlet must be near the router and be easily accessible.

1) Installing the Rack mount kit (optional)
This stage is only required if you plan to mount the appliance in a communications rack. The rack mount kit
includes 2 brackets and 8 screws.
The brackets are symmetrical and can be installed on either side. See pictures below.
2) Attach WiFi antennas (optional)
The i-MO appliance is supplied with a WiFi interface. This can be enabled on request at time of order. If the
WiFi interface is enabled install the two antennas on the aerial connectors numbered 4 and 5 as shown
below.

3) Attach 3G/4G antennas and cables
Up to 3 antennas may be provided dependent upon the number of modems installed. The antennas must be
mounted outside and as high as possible. The antennas should be spaced at least 1 metre apart from each
other.
The connector on each aerial cable should be attached to the aerial sockets (1-3) as shown below.
Note: Connectors should be touch tight only! Do not over tighten.
4) Attach network cables (optional)
The i-MO appliance provides six Ethernet ports at the rear. Each of these can be individually configured as
WAN or LAN ports. Network cables (not provided) can be connected as shown below. The default
configuration is all ports configured for LAN usage (6 port network hub).
Note: The first port on the left as viewed from the rear is a Console (RS232) Port available for unit
configuration purposes only. This port is NOT available for network use.

5) Install SIM cards
The appliance supports up to 6 SIMs which are installed in the SIM card slots on the rear of the appliance as
illustrated below.
Note: Please ensure you insert the SIM cards carefully in their slots and ensure that they are
pressed in as illustrated above
Note: Up to six SIMs can be inserted - starting with slots SIM 1, SIM 3 and SIM 5
6) Power cable
The appliance is powered by a standard 200~240V supply. The power input is switched. Please ensure the
switch is set to the off position (0) before inserting the power cable as shown below.
Note: We recommend the use of UPS units where power regulation cannot be guaranteed (e.g. use of a
generator)

7) Power switch
Mains power to the unit is supplied via a power input at the rear of the unit as shown below. To switch the
unit on the power switch should be set to the on position (1).
The power switch at the front of the unit is used to turn the appliance on (boot) or off (shutdown). As soon as
the button is pressed it will illuminate to show that the appliance is powering up. Press the button again to
start the power off sequence. The message on the status display will change and when the power off
sequence has completed the light in the button will extinguish.
Note: Do NOT hold the power button in unless specifically instructed to do so by a support engineer

7) Status display
The LCD display shows the status of up to three mobile connections plus the overall status of the link.
Link Status
This shows the overall status of the link which can either be UP or DOWN. When
the link is DOWN the appliance is not able to send or receive data.
Just to the right of the link status the letters T and R will flash when the appliance
is Transmitting or Receiving data.
Mobile Status
This shows the status of each mobile channel. The letter U will be displayed when
the link is UP and D is displayed when the link is DOWN.
The status will also flash T and R when the channel is transmitting or receiving
data.
Network
This shows the name of the network the appliance is using.
Mode
The standard appliance currently supports five network protocols: GPRS, EDGE,
3G, HSDPA and HSPA+.
The letter G is displayed for GPRS, E for EDGE, 3 for 3G and H for HSDPA or
HSPA+ modes.
Note: If one or more 4G compatible modems are fitted then those channels will
also support the 4G protocol. The digit 4 will then be displayed.
Signal Strength
This shows the strength of the signal being received from the mobile network.
