1.4 Power Requirements
The ICX30-HWC accepts voltages between 10 and 24 VDC (300 mA @ 12 VDC,
150 mA @ 24 VDC), with an average power draw of 6 watts or less. A
detachable power connector comes with the radio, as shown below. The
connector terminals are labeled + (positive DC connection) and - (DC ground
connection).
The AC-to-DC power supply adapter may be used. DC power wires must be less
than 2 meters in length to meet regulatory requirements.
Important: When wiring the power connector, be sure to observe the proper polarity markings on
the power connector. Improper connector wiring can cause serious damage to the ICX30-HWC
which will not be covered under the ProSoft Warranty.
The power connector (ProSoft P/N 002-0116) and wire installation tool (ProSoft
P/N 357-0061) are shown in the following graphic. The wire installation tool is
helpful when installing wires into the spring-loaded contacts inside the power
connector.
1 To use the wire installation tool, insert it into the connector as shown.
2 Press down on the installation tool to use it as a level which opens the
connector's contacts to insert a wire. A properly wired connector is shown.

First-time setup must be performed over a wired network, where provider-specific
cellular configuration details are configured. Once initially setup, you can access
the webserver over the LAN and cellular networks (unless LAN access is
disabled).
Key benefits of the web based configurator include:
Login and configure device parameters
Adjust network settings
Change security settings
Update events reporting
Update firmware

2.1 Configuration Webpage Setup
1 The default IP address of the ICX30-HWC is 192.168.0.250. If your PC is on
a different subnet, temporarily set the IP address of your PC to 192.168.0.xxx
with a subnet of 255.255.255.0.
2 Open a web browser and enter the ICX30-HWC default address of
http://192.168.0.250:8080
3 Once the ICX30-HWC homepage opens, enter the USERNAME and
PASSWORD to log in. You will be able to customize these later.
4 The default USERNAME is 'admin' and the default PASSWORD is 'password'.
5 After successful login, the homepage displays data from the Status tab.

2.3 Connecting to your Cellular Provider
The ICX30-HWC supports 3G GSM/GPRS and CDMA (where applicable)
networks. It uses your cellular provider as an ISP (Internet Service Provider) to
connect you to the Internet.
Cellular devices using GSM technology, such as AT&T, require a SIM
(Subscriber Identity Module) card to be installed in the radio.
Cellular devices using CDMA technology, such as Verizon, do not require a
SIM card.
2.3.1 Steps of a connection using GSM/GPRS
The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) in the ICX30-HWC is a smartcard that
securely stores the key identifying a cellular subscriber. Generally, you will only
need to install a SIM once in the life of the cellular gateway, and it may be pre-
installed by your ProSoft Technology Representative.
The SIM card slot is located on the front of the cellular gateway.
1 Insert the SIM card into the ICX30-HWC and cycle power. The SIM card is
read by the ICX30-HWC upon boot up.
2 Open the Network Interface > WAN Configuration webpage.

Configuration Webpage ICX30-HWC ♦ Industrial Cellular Gateway

3 Enter the Access Point Name (APN) information in the APN NAME field. This
information is provided from your cellular provider. Click APPLY CHANGES.
The ICX30-HWC will reboot.
4 After the ICX30-HWC reboots, it establishes a PPP (Point to Point Protocol or
"dial" up connection) link to your cellular provider network, also called
registering on the network, and receives an IP address.
5 When the ICX30-HWC has received its IP address from your cellular
provider, a connection to the Internet or the cellular network is also available
for computers or other devices to connect directly to the ICX30-HWC.

2.3.2 Steps of a connection using CDMA (where applicable):
1 When your ICX30-HWC is powered on, it automatically searches for cellular
service using CDMA-based cellular technology.
2 Your ICX30-HWC establishes a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol or "dial" up
connection) link to the Verizon network, also called registering on the
network, and receives an IP address.
3 When your ICX30-HWC has received its IP address from your cellular
provider, a connection to the Internet or the cellular network is also available
for computers or other devices to connect directly to the ICX30-HWC.
