2.2.1 Attaching the COR to the Mounting Bracket
1) Attach the bracket to the wall or other surface with screws.
NOTE: Screws are not provided because the type of screw required
depends on the mounting surface.
2) Place the router’s edge
against the bottom of the
bracket.
3) Press the router down
firmly, then push it inside
the bracket. It should
latch.
2.1. ATTACHING THE MCS-WIRELESS-MODEM TO THE MOUNTING BRACKET
1) Attach the bracket to the wall (indoors, dry location) or other surface with screws.
NOTE: Screws are not provided because the type of screw required depends on the
mounting surface.
2.2. LOCATION- DRY/INDOORS
2) Place the router’s edge against the bottom of the bracket.
3) Press the router down rmly, then push it inside the bracket.
It should latch.

Chapter - 3. REMOVING FROM MOUNTING BRACKET
3.1. Removing the MCS-WIRELESS-MODEM from the Mounting Bracket
From the top of the bracket, press down rmly on the router using your thumb(s) and pull the device
out.

Chapter - 4. BASIC SETUP
4.1. QUICK START
Attach the Dual Band Antenna, thumb tight only.
4.2. CONNECT TO MCS-MAGNUM
4.3. NETWORK ADDRESS ON MCS-MAGNUM
THE NETWORK ADDRESS FOR YOUR
NEW MCS-WIRELESS-MODEM HAS BEEN
FACTORY SET AND IS SUPPLIED WITH THE UNIT.
YOU MUST SET THE NETWORK ADDRESS ON YOUR CONTROLLER TO MATCH THIS FACTORY
ADDRESS.
4.4. CONNECTING CROSS OVER CABLE
Connect the end of the supplied CROSSOVER ETHERNET CABLE to the ETHERNET DATA
SOURCE connector on the rear of the MCS-WIRELESS-MODEM and the other end to the IO port on
the MCS-MAGNUM CONTROLLER.
4.5. POWER SUPPLY
Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet and connect it to the router.
Make sure the power is switched on.
O = OFF
I = ON
4.6. ACTIVATE YOUR MODEM
A wireless broadband data plan has been added to your MCS-WIRELESS-MODEM through Verizon
Wireless. THIS IS A FACTORY PRE-INSTALL.
If there are any problems or questions about the intallation of the data plan, please consult MCS
support at: [email protected]

Chapter - 5. MUPLIPLE CONNECTIONS
5.1. ETHERNET SWITCH (NOT SUPPLIED)
An Ethernet switch, provides a central connection in an Ethernet network in which each connected device has
its own dedicated link with full bandwidth. Switches divide LAN data into smaller, easier-to-manage seg-
ments and receive data from the controller. As a result, every port on the switch represents a dedicated
10- or 100-Mbps pathway. Because users connected to a switch do not have to share bandwidth, a switch
offers relief from the network congestion a shared hub can cause.
5.2. CONNECTING TO MULTIPLE MCS-MAGNUMS
With the NEW MCS-WIRELESS-MODEM you can connect multiple MCS-MAGNUMS to the MCS-WIRE-
LESS-MODEM using an Ethernet Switch (not supplied) that will enable you to communicate with each
MCS-MAGNUM anywhere in the Continental United States as long as your MCS-WIRELESS-MODEM is hard
wired to an existing ethernet network. (see wiring diagram on page 9).
