Before you begin the installation
Plan component locations
Before you begin, determine the best location for the TrafficLink Antenna, SmartLink,
and TrafficLink Interface (if necessary). You might need to move some of the existing
equipment in the cabinet to accommodate the devices.
If you prefer to review these steps in a video tutorial, see Device placement and
TrafficLink antenna installation.
For best ventilation, install the SmartLink and TrafficLink Interface vertically.
Place the components so that there is a minimum of 12.7 mm (1/2 in) around them for
ventilations, for cable connections, so that all cables can reach, and so that you can
access the components during maintenance.
You might have to move some of the existing equipment in the cabinet to
accommodate the SmartLink and TrafficLink Interface.
6.11.19
5
If you cannot install the SmartLink next to the TrafficLink Interface, install them no more
than 1.2 m (4 ft) apart.
Use caution when moving components to avoid disconnecting cables.
Make sure that you have access to terminal block wiring or an 110V-240V uninterrupted
(non-GFCI) power supply for the SmartLink and TrafficLink Interface.
Required tools
●Drill and drill bit
●Small container to catch filings
●Industrial-strength cleaner
●Heat gun if installing in under 5°C (41°F) weather
●Small container or cloth
Please bring a copy of the Installation Checklist to your installation.
Install the TrafficLink Antenna
If you prefer to review these steps in a video tutorial, see Device placement and
TrafficLink antenna installation.
1. Mark a location for the antenna hole on top of the cabinet, at least 152.4 mm (6
in) from any edge. Make sure that you choose a location so that your drill bit or
punch will not drill through or puncture any equipment in the cabinet.
2. To contain sharp steel burrs that can cut wire and cause an electrical short, place
a small container or cloth inside the cabinet below the drill location to catch any
loose debris from drilling.
3. Drill or punch a hole at the marked location.
4. To provide a smooth surface for good adhesion, clean the surface where you are
installing the antenna with industrial strength cleaner. Remove any burrs from
drilling.
Note: Make sure to completely remove any dirt, moisture, frost and steel burrs
from drilling before continuing.
5. Remove the twist ties, nut, and washer from the antenna cables.
6. Guide the antenna cables through the hole in the cabinet as shown in the
following illustration.
6.11.19

7. If the ambient temperature is below 5°C (41°F), use the heat gun to warm the
surface where you are placing the antenna.
8. Remove the protective film from the adhesive pad on the bottom of the antenna
and then firmly press the antenna onto the top of the cabinet.
9. Slide the washer and nut around the antenna cables.
10.Hand tighten the nut.
11.Using the wrench, tighten the nut one full turn.
12.Visually inspect the antenna to make sure that the adhesive forms a tight seal on
top of the cabinet.
Follow the procedure that matches your installation scenario:
●Install the SmartLink (travel time only)
●Install the SmartLink with a TrafficLink Interface
●Install the SmartLink without a TrafficLink Interface
Install the SmartLink (travel time only)

cable or the appropriate Serial Cable for your device.
1. If the component supports Ethernet connections, connect one end of the cable
into an open Ethernet port on the SmartLink.
2. If the component supports serial connections, connect one end of the cable into
an open Serial port on the SmartLink. If you are connecting an MMU over serial,
connect it to Serial Port 4.
Complete the installation
Perform a final review of the cabinet
1. Before closing the cabinet door, verify that the TrafficLink Antenna is securely
fastened.
2. Confirm that the LEDs on SmartLink appear as follows:
●LED 1 (POWER) is solid indicates that there is power to the SmartLink
●LED 2 (STATUS) blinking indicates ‘heartbeat’
●LED 3 (SERIAL) solid indicates internet connectivity

●See SmartLink on-site troubleshooting for more information.
3. Use the SmartLink diagnostic tool to make sure SmartLink is installed
successfully. If any of the tests fail, check that all cables and power supplies are
properly connected. If issues still exist, contact Miovision Support.
Document the location of the TrafficLink components
After you install the TrafficLink components, take the following photos to record the
component locations. The photos will be uploaded to TrafficLink.
