I. Introduction

The ETP-CI-4G-V is used in conjunction with an ETP-500 Series ADA-compliant, hands-free Emergency

Phone.

II. Prerequisite Cellular Service Requirements

Prior to installation and setup, the ETP-CI-4G-V Cellular Interface has the following perquisite requirements:

(1) 4G Voice over LTE service (i.e. voice and data) from Verizon;

(2) An activated 4G micro-SIM (3FF) card provided by Verizon.

III. Contents

Before beginning installation, make sure you have all the included components. The ETP-CI-4G-V includes:

WARNING: Currently due to the modem chipset and the Verizon certification process, the ETP-CI-4G-V Cellular Interface cannot dial

911. Phone number strings must consist of a ten-digit phone number that includes an area code. Eleven-digit dialing is accepted when

the first digit is a ‘1’.

Support for 911 dialing will be provided as a firmware update and is anticipated for Q4 2020/Q1 2021.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

(1) This model supports programming of the ETP-110/ETP-500 Series Analog Call Stations through a remote call to the ETP-CI-

4G-V Cellular Interface. This remote programming feature is only supported on the 4G LTE Cellular Interface for the Verizon

Network.

(2) The built-in auto-dialer of the ETP-110/ETP-500 Series Analog Call Station cannot dial a secondary number in round robin

fashion when used in conjunction with the ETP-CI-4G-V Cellular Interface.

(3) All programming, diagnostics, and identification of the ETP-110/ETP-500 Series Analog Call Stations are accomplished through

the transmitting and receiving of DTMF signals. Cellular transmissions and cellular networks may interfere with and distort

these tones. As a result of these irregularities, model ETP-TAL Talk-A-Lert Polling and Listening may not function as intended

and, therefore, may not be appropriate in that application or environment.

IV. Installing the Antenna

The ETP-CI-4G-V Cellular Interface includes a remote-mounting MIMO antenna. The remote-mounting MIMO

antenna should be attached to the Talk-A-Phone enclosure (e.g., ETP-MTE-W, ETP-MT/R-SOLAR, ETP-MT/R-

PCS, etc.) via the built-in antenna mounting hole. To install the remote-mounting MIMO antenna, please follow

the separate antenna mount instructions included with the remote-mounting MIMO antenna.

Figure 1. An example of mounting the remote-mounting MIMO antenna onto the cap of an ETP-MT/R-PCS tower.

The remote-mounting MIMO antenna will be connected to the ETP-CI-4G-V Cellular Interface through the ports

listed in Section V.2.

V. Installing the Cellular Interface

1. The front panel of the ETP-CI-4G-V Cellular Interface provides the following:

(1) Cellular signal strength indicator;

(2) LED indicators for POWER, STATUS, CELL, and GPS;

(3) DATA port reserved for future use;

(4) MODE button reserved for future use;

(5) RESET button for rebooting the cellular interface;

(6) PHONE-FXS port for connecting to an ETP-500 Series Phone.

2. The rear panel of the ETP-CI-4G-V Cellular Interface provides the following:

(1) Input terminal for 12VDC;

(2) CELL 1 connector for remote-mounting MIMO antenna;

(3) CELL 2 connector for remote-mounting MIMO antenna;

(4) GPS connector for remote-mounting MIMO antenna;

(5) SIM slot for micro-SIM (3FF) card;

(6) CONFIG port for a mini-USB connection (for Talkaphone Technical Support purposes only).

Figure 3. Rear panel of the ETP-CI-4G-V Cellular Interface.

3. Insert the micro-SIM (3FF) card into the slot labeled SIM (see Figure 3 –Item 5).

IMPORTANT: The orientation of the micro-SIM card should be angled notch entering the slot first with

the metal contacts facing down.

4. Using a plastic spudger or a small flat head screwdriver, push the micro-SIM card into the slot until a

click is heard. To remove the micro-SIM card, push the card until a click is heard and the card springs

out of the slot.

5. Connect the cables from the remote-mounting MIMO antenna to the CELL 1, CELL 2, and, GPS

connecters (see Figure 3 –Items 2, 3, and 4.On the built-in cable assembly of the remote-mounting

MIMO antenna, there are two (2) cables labeled CELL –connect those cables to the CELL 1 and

CELL 2 connectors. Any of the two CELL cables can connect to either connector.

6. Connect the ETP-500 Series Phone to the PHONE-FXS port.

7. If the interface is being powered by an SLR Series (solar) kit, connect the LOAD terminals of the solar

controller to the appropriate polarity markings on the POWER terminal (12VDC input) of the ETP-CI-

4G-V Cellular Interface. Otherwise, connect a 12VDC power source appropriately with respect to

polarity.

8. Using the built-in mounting flanges, attach the ETP-CI-4G-V Cellular Interface onto the internal

mounting panel of the Talk-A-Phone enclosure (e.g., ETP-MTE-W, ETP-MT/R-SOLAR). The ETP-CI-

4G-V Cellular Interface should be mounted so that the 12VDC input terminal is on the lower right corner

(i.e. toward the Earth).
