5) Voice/SMS contro
6) DC7V~50V
7) BGP, OSPF.
2) Find the modem type info at the back cover of the router. This will be used while do configuration.
For example: the following label indicates the version, type and inside module modem.
The module modem name is “EM820w”, remember this and will select this module name while do
configuration.

1.2 Prepare SIM Card and working condition
1) For GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA/HSUPA/HSPA/HSPA+/4G LTE networks or TD-SCDMA
networks, please get a SIM card with data business.
2) For CDMA2000 EVDO/CDMA1x networks, please get a UIM card with data business or inform
us before order if the network uses non-ruim (nam-flashing).
3) Make sure the sim card or uim card is with enough data business and balance.
4) Make sure the signal is good enough where you test or install the router. Weak signal will make
the router no work. If you find your signal strength is not good, please contact us for high gain
antenna.

2.4 SIM/UIM card installed
If your router has SIM/UIM card protector, please remove it, insert the sim card
correctly, and fix the protector.
If your router has no SIM/UIM card protector, please insert the sim card correctly.
Attention: SIM/UIM card does not reach the designated position, the equipment
can not find a card, can't work normally, therefore inserted a try to check
again for a SIM card is stuck fast.
2.5 The installation of terminal blocks
This chapter is for version with terminal blocks only. Default, the RF-R586 is with
DB9 connector. Please use DB9 cable to connect RF-R586 and the equipment
directly.
The following is for version with terminal blocks only:
RF-R586 uses pluggable terminals to connect the user’s data and the power
supply. Spacing: 3.81mm，10 Pin; User data and power supply suggestion:
14~24AWG. Please refer to the table 2-4 for the interface definition of the power
cable and connection sequence. Specific interface definition of the power cable
and connection sequence you can read on the labels of RF-R586 products. Using
14~24AWG cable and referring to RF-R586 products labels or the bellowed
interface definition and connection sequence, you need to use the oblate screw
driver to fix the cable to the connecting jacks of the pluggable terminal. After
successfully connection, you need to insert the terminal into the corresponding
position in the bottom of the RF-R586 products.
Notes: Connection sequence should be accurate
。
Cable’s insulating striping length
is about 7mm. (For safety, insulating striping length should be too long).
Please refer to the
