Installing the Wireless Modules
ATTENTION
The
“-W” models (e.g., V2201-E2-W-T) come with a heat sink
for the cellular card and five wireless SMA connectors installed.
The V2201 has two Mini PCIe sockets on the rear panel. One socket
only supports USB signals using the MC9090, MC7354, or MC7354
Mini PCIe cards. The other socket supports standard USB and PCIe
signals.
STEP1: Loosen the four screws
located at the middle of the rear
panel and open the cover.
STEP 2: Insert the wireless module
card at an angle.
STEP 3: Push the wireless module
card down and fasten it with the
two screws included with the
product.
The V2201 has the following two Mini PCIe sockets.

- 5 -
Socket 1: USB signal, for 3G/LTE
Mini PCIe card (Sierra Wireless
MC9090, MC7304, or MC7354).
NOTE: The cellular card heat
sink is installed in socket 1.
Socket 2: Standard USB + PCIe
signals, for Wi-Fi Mini PCIe card
(SparkLAN WPEA-252NI).
STEP 4: Connect the corresponding
wireless module cards to
connectors of the Mini PCIe
sockets.
The following five connectors are
available:
No. 1 & No. 3:
For the Wi-Fi Mini PCIe card
No. 2 & No. 4:
For the 3G/LTE Mini PCIe card
No. 5:
For the GPS module
STEP 5: Replace the rear cover.
You can also purchase and install external 3G, 4G, and Wi-Fi antennas
from Moxa. Contact a Moxa sales representative for information.
After installing the wireless modules and wireless external antennas,
the computer should appear as follows:
Installing the V2201
DIN-rail Mounting
The DK-DC50131 die-cast metal kit (shipped only with V2201-E4-W-T-
LX; purchase separately for all other models), enables easy and robust
installation of the V2201. Use the six M4*6L FMS screws included to
attach the DIN-rail mounting kit to the side panel of the V2201.

- 6 -
Installation:
STEP 1:
Insert the upper lip of the DIN rail into
the DIN-rail mounting kit.
STEP 2:
Press the V2201 towards the DIN rail
until it snaps into place.
Removal:
STEP 1:
Pull down the latch on the
mounting kit with a screwdriver.
STEP 2 & 3:
Use the screwdriver to pry the
V2201 slightly forward
away from
the DIN rail, and then lift the
V2201 upwards to remove it from
the DIN rail.
STEP 4:
Press the recessed button on the spring-
loaded bracket to lock it into position until
the next time you need to install the
V2201 on to a DIN rail.
Wall or Cabinet Mounting
The V2201 computers (with the exclusion of the V2201-E4-W-T-LX
model) come with two metal brackets for attaching to a wall or the
inside of a cabinet. Four screws (Phillips truss-headed M3*6L nickel
plated with Nylok®) are included in the kit.
Step 1:
Use two screws for each
bracket and attach the bracket
to the rear of the V2201.

- 7 -
Step 2:
Use two screws on each side to
attach the V2201 to a wall or
cabinet.
The product package does not
include the four screws required
for attaching the wall-
mounting
kit to the wall or cabinet; they
need to be purchased
separately. We r ecommend
using standard M3*5L screws.
ATTENTION
This equipment is intended to be used in Restricted Access
Locations, such as a computer room, with
access limited to
SERVICE PERSONAL or USERS who have
been instructed on
how to handle the metal
chassis of equipment that is so hot
that special protection may be needed before touching it. The
location should only be accessible with a key or through a
security identity system.
Connector Description
Power Connector
Connect the 9 to 36 VDC LPS or Class 2 power line to the V2201’s
terminal block. If the power is supplied properly, the Power LED will
light up. The OS is ready when the Ready LED glows a solid green.
ATTENTION
The power cord of
the adapter should be connected to a socket
outlet with earthing connection.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power
Adapter or DC power source, output rated 9 to 36 VDC, 3.5 to 1
A minimum, Tma = 85 degree C minimum.
Grounding the V2201
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from
the grounding screw (M4) to the grounding surface prior to connecting
the power.

- 8 -
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well
-grounded
mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
SG: The Shielded Ground (sometimes called
Protected Ground)
contact is the right most
one
on the
3-pin power terminal block connector
when viewed from the angle shown here.
Connect the SG wire to an appropriate
grounded metal surface.
HDMI Outputs
The V2201 comes with a type A HDMI female connector on the front
panel to connect an HDMI monitor.
The screw hole above the HDMI connector is used to attach a custom
lock to the HDMI connector; a custom lock is needed since the shape of
different HDMI connectors are not the same. Please contact a Moxa
sales representative for details.

DI/DO
The V2201 comes with four digital inputs and
four digital outputs on a 2 x 5 terminal block.
Reset Button
Press the “Reset Button” on the left side panel of the V2201 to reboot
the system automatically.
Real-time Clock
The V2201’s real-time clock is powered by a lithium battery. We
strongly recommend that you do not replace the lithium battery without
help from a qualified Moxa support engineer. If you need to change the
battery, contact the Moxa RMA service team.
ATTENTION
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an
incorrect type of battery.
Powering on the V2201
To power on the V2201, connect the “terminal block to power jack
converter” to the V2201’s DC terminal block (located on the side
panel), and then connect the 9 to 36 VDC power adapter. The computer
is automatically switched on once the power adapter is plugged in. If it
does not, press the Power Button to turn on the computer. Note that
the Shielded Ground wire should be connected to the top pin of the
terminal block. It takes about 30 seconds for the system to boot up.
Once the system is ready, the Power LED will light up.
Connecting the V2201 to a PC
Power on the V2201 computer after connecting a monitor, keyboard,
and mouse, and verifying that the power source is ready. Once the
operating system boots up, the first step is to configure the Ethernet
interface. The factory default settings for the V2201’s LANs are show
below (W7E uses DHCP).

Configuring the Ethernet Interface
Linux OS
If you use the console cable to configure network settings for the first
time, use the following commands to edit the interfaces file:
#ifdown –a
//Disable LAN1~LAN2 interface first, before you
reconfigure the LAN settings. LAN1 = eth0, LAN2 = eth1//
#vi /etc/network/interfaces
//check the LAN interface first//
After the boot setting of the LAN interface has been modified, use the
following commands to immediately activate the LAN settings:
#sync; ifup –a
