NWL-11 - M2M CDMA Router
Installing your device
Step 1
Mount your router in a suitable location using the options listed in the
Mounting options section of this guide.
When selecting a location to mount the NWL-11 router, keep in mind
that it houses two high performance internal antennas designed to
provide optimum signal strength in a wide range of environments. If you
nd the signal strength is weak, try moving the router to a different place
or mounting it differently. If signal strength doesn’t improve, you may
need to attach an external antenna (not included) to the router’s female
SMA connector.
Note: If you connect an external antenna to the female SMA connector, the
main internal antenna disables automatically but the auxiliary internal
antenna remains connected to provide (where possible) diversity
assistance.
Step 2
Connect power to your router using one of three options.
Power over Ethernet (802.3af PoE)
Connect your router to a PoE injector or PoE network switch using the
bundled yellow Ethernet cable 8P8C. This method uses the Ethernet
connection to power and transfer data to and from the router.
DC power via 2-pin connector
Remove the attached green terminal block from your router and connect
to the router’s power socket using a DC power supply, sold separately.

DC power via eld terminated power source
If an 8-35V DC power supply is available, you can insert the wires into
the supplied terminal block to power your router. Use a no. 3 athead
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.
Polarity for the two-way terminal block
The green power LED on the router lights up when a power source
is connected.
Tip: You can connect both the PoE and DC power sources at the same time.
When both are connected, the DC power acts as backup to the PoE input.
