Installation and configuration
of the 3G Light Industrial M2M
router
Powering the router
The 3G Light Industrial M2M router can be powered in one of three ways:
1. Power over Ethernet (802.3af PoE) (available on the NWL-12-01 only)
2. DC power input via 6-pin connector (8-40V DC)
3. DC power input via field terminated power source (8-40V DC)
The green power LED on the router lights up when a power source is connected.
Power over Ethernet (802.3af PoE) (available on the NWL-12-01 only)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a method of connecting network devices through Ethernet cable where power and data are passed along a single cable. This may be a desirable method of
powering the device if PoE is available, or if it’s most convenient in the desired installation environment to only have a single cable running to the 3G Light Industrial M2M router.
There are 5 power classes defined in the IEEE 802.3-2005 standard, of which the 3G Light Industrial M2M router is a class 3 device.
CLASS CLASSIFICATION CURRENT POWER RANGE CLASS DESCRIPTION
3 26-30 mA 6.49 – 12.95 W Mid power
Table 7 - PoE power classes
To use PoE to power the 3G Light Industrial M2M router, simply connect your router to a PoE injector or PoE network switch using the bundled yellow Ethernet cable 8P8C.
DC power via 6-pin connector
The DC input jack can accept power from a separately sold DC power supply. Both a standard temperature range DC power supply and an extended temperature range DC power supply are
available to purchase as accessories.
To power the device via DC Power via the 6-pin connector, remove the attached green terminal block from your router and connect the external DC power supply to the router’s green DC power
jack.
DC power via field terminated power source
If an existing 8-40V DC power supply is available, you can insert the wires into the supplied terminal block to power your router. Use a No. 3 flathead screwdriver to tighten the terminal block
screws and secure the power wires, making sure the polarity of the wires are correctly matched, as illustrated below.
