Installation of the SeaWire RouDem
STEP 1 –INSERTING THE MICRO-SIM CARD
You find the SIM card slot at the bottom of the RouDem.
1. Carefully click out the SIM card in Micro SIM format.
IMPORTANT: press on the top of the SIM card to make sure there is a smooth surface.
2. RouDem’s SIM card slot is a click system. Do not use tweezers, pliers, or other tools to
force the SIM card in/out. Use the click system to gently insert/remove the SIM card by
using your fingers by clicking it into place and clicking it out. Any resistance other than
the smooth pressure of the spring is a warning that something is not correct. When
installing/removing the SIM-card the RouDem must be turned off.
a. IMPORTANT: Insert the SIM card with the angled corner facing the left and the gold
area facing down. When it is placed correctly you will hear/sense a ‘click’.
3. Check if the device is working with the purchased SIM card. Turn on the RouDem by
pressing the on/off button and wait for the LED to light green. It takes a few minutes. If
the LED remain red, please read the troubleshoot section.

STEP 2 –PREPARING MOUNTING BRACKET AND CONNECTING THE
ETHERNET CABLE
IMPORTANT: It is required to mount the mounting bracket to avoid humidity and dirt entering the
RouDem.
1. Pass the cable through the cable gland.
a. Unscrew the sealing nut and use a small tool such as an Allen key or a pen to get
the seal out.
b. Pass the cable through the body and the sealing nut, mount the seal on the cable
and place the seal back into the claw.
c. Screw on the sealing nut and make sure it is tightened very tight.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port in the RouDem.
3. Affix the mounting bracket to the RouDem with the five screws using the supplied Torx 10
Key. IMPORTANT: it is important that the mounting bracket is secured with all five
screws to maintain waterproofness.
4. Tighten the mounting bracket to a pole Ø38mm/1.5” pole by tightening the two grub
screws with the supplied Unbraco 4 Key.

STEP 3 –MOUNTING THE SEAWIRE ROUDEM
In the following you can see examples of installation on different types of vessels. The installation
examples are for inspiration. Before installing the SeaWire RouDem permanently you should
determine the suitability of the location for installing.
Installation considerations:
•Install the SeaWire RouDem outdoors at the highest spot possible on a pole, a mast, or
another appropriate platform with opportunity to accommodate a pole of Ø38mm/1.5”.
•Place the RouDem where there is a good all-round view. It is rarely possible to place the
RouDem where a completely clear view in all directions are available, but as good as
possible to obtain best performance.
•The RouDem should always be installed in a horizontal position and upright.
•Where possible install the RouDem away from radiocommunications antennas,
radiotelephone equipment, satellite, VHF’s and GPS antennas to prevent electrical noise
and interference.

STEP 4 –CABLE WIRING
Cable wiring considerations:
•Where possible avoid routing the cables near other electrical equipment and cables.
•If possible, all cable routing must be done in a cable duct.
•Do not apply any load to the connectors.
•Cable specification:
Network cable type
CAT6 or above, UV- and water resistant, double shielded,
grounded
Connector 1
RJ45 (male)
Connector 2
RJ45 (male)
Length
The length of the cable depends on the location for
installment. In the System Configuration section, you will find
an overview of the set up. Max. length is 100m.
STEP 5 –POWERING THE ROUDEM
1. Connect the ethernet cable from the RouDem to the POE port of the PoE adapter.
2. Plug the PoE adapter into an indoor power outlet 100-240VDC. If not the RouDem is
already turned on or turns on automatically as it is powered, turn the RouDem on by
pressing the on/off button in the bottom of the RouDem. If you do not have access to the
on/off button please read the restart/reboot part in the troubleshoot section.
3. Optional: connect to local LAN/network equipment via the LAN port of the PoE adapter.
Battery feature:
In case of power outage, RouDem is battery powered. Full charging takes 4h 30min after which it
can operate for at least 8 hours on battery power. Note: the device will not charge at
temperatures below 10°C and above 45°C.
Installation of the SeaWire RouDem User Guide SeaWire RouDem
MiWire ApS 11
Powering the RouDem with a DC converter:
When purchasing SeaWire RouDem is it possible to buy a 12 V DC converter.
•Input Voltage 9-36VDC; Output 18V, 24V
or 48VDC, Max output 500mA
•12V / 24V Battery Systems
•Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
•Size / Dimension: 86.4mm L x 76.2mm W
x 35.6mm H
1. Connect the ethernet cable from the
RouDem to the PoE port of the converter.
2. Connect the DC Power Supply to the
VDC IN terminals.
3. Optional: connect to local LAN/network

MiWire user interface
After installation of the SeaWire RouDem has been performed, the system is fully operational. In
this section there will be a description of system settings which are configurable from the Web
Server/MiWire user interface.
MiWire user interface presents an overall status of the RouDem and allow the user to configure
WiFi and network related settings, see SIM card information and perform device commands. You
can only access the user interface if you are connected to a MiWire related network either by
WiFi or cable.
1. Open MiWire user interface by entering 192.168.2.1 in a web browser.
2. Log in with Username: admin & Password: 1234 (IMPORTANT: for optimum security, we
recommend changing the password). The system will always be delivered from the
factory with this default log in.
3. The menu bar in the top of the page consists of six tabs: Status, WiFi, Network, SIM,
Compass & Map and Admin. We do not recommend changing the settings if you are not
familiar with the configurations parameters or have been trained or consulted with an
expert. In the following each menu tab will be explained. Settings noted with default and
marked with bold are factory settings.

Status
The status page presents an overall status of the RouDem. The lamps in the left side can light
red, yellow, and green (see the Troubleshoot section if some of the lamps are red). The right side
shows unique information for the specific RouDem. Your SeaWire RouDem is working correctly
when all lamps on the status page are green.
IMPORTANT: If there is no WAN IP Address shown it is most likely because the APN settings
are incorrect. Go to the Network tab and set the correct APN settings according to the current
operator. The information can usually be found by looking up the MCC and MNC at the internet.
