device setup
SETTING UP THE SA 2100
The SA 2100 comes with the SIM installed and activated. To set up the device:
1. Connect the battery by removing the battery compartment lid and plugging
the white battery connector into the white jack. Route the battery cable
around the retainer and replace the lid.
2. Connect the cellular antennas to the RF1 and RF2 connectors.
3. Connect the power cable to the I/O connector on the SA 2100 and the power
supply. Connect the power supply to a wall outlet.
4. Connect the Ethernet cable between the SA 2100 and either the host device
(if the SA 2100 is your primary connection) or to a WAN Ethernet port on an
existing router or firewall (if the SA 2100 is used for failover).
Connecting via Wi-Fi:
To connect the device via Wi-Fi, connect to the SA 2100 using the SSID and Wi-Fi
password printed on the label on the bottom of the device. The default SSID is in the
format SA2100-XXXX. Navigate to 192.168.1.1 or http://my.sa2100/.

SA2100 configuration
CONFIGURING THE SA 2100
The SA 2100 can be configured as the primary or failover connection. You can optimize
the device settings for your application using the SA 2100 Web Interface as described
in “Customize Settings.”
Using the SA 2100 as a failover connection:
The SA 2100 can be configured to perform Network Address Translation
(NAT) or to operate in IP Passthrough mode. If the SA2100 is configured for IP
Passthrough mode, the WAN IP address assigned to the SA 2100 and all traffic
is passed directly through to the connected device attached on the Ethernet
port, such as another router.
The default configuration is NAT. If you are unsure if you need IP Passthrough,
we recommend using the default NAT configuration. IP Passthrough is most
useful in applications where a site-to-site VPN tunnel is required.
Configuring the SA 2100 for Wi-Fi:
The SA 2100 can optionally provide Wi-Fi access. For tablet based Point of Sale
solutions you may elect to simply configure the tablets to connect to the Wi-Fi
network via the SSID and Wi-Fi password printed on the SA 2100 label.
