Chapter 1 Description
1.1 Introduction
The Teldat G1N routers family is composed of a range of IP routers for general purposes with a wide application
area: personal environments, SOHO/SME and corporative. The Teldat G1N is an additional member of this family.
The main characteristic of this router family lies in the possibility in accessing data networks through cellular or mo-
bile telephony technologies. The Teldat G1N routers are suitable for a wide variety of IP scenarios: from providing
simultaneous access to Internet for private LAN users to the adaptation of teleprocess networks. Their most common
applications are:
• Access router
• Backup for LAN networks
The Teldat G1N range gives answer to access needs for cellular technologies (GPRS, GPRS, and EDGE). This
range incorporates a four port Ethernet LAN Switch for local area networks (LAN) and can incorporate a Wireless
LAN MINI-PCI Module.
This manual will show you how to install and connect these devices.

Workplace Conditions. Main Characteristics
• Excessive cold and heat should be avoided, as should humidity and dust.
• Direct exposure to sunlight should be avoided as well as other heat sources. The device should not be placed
amongst papers, magazines or other elements that could hinder natural air circulation.
• The device should not be placed very close to strong electromagnetic fields such as speakers, engines, etc.
• Knocks and/or strong vibrations should be avoided during transport, operation and storage.
Warning
The electric current in power cables, telephone lines and communication cables is dangerous. To pre-
vent electric shocks, before installing, handling or opening the equipment covers, connect and discon-
nect the cables as follows:
To Connect To Disconnect
Make sure that the device’s power supply switch is in the
OFF position
Turn the power switch to the OFF position
Make sure that the power supply is not connected either
to the main electricity source or to the device
Disconnect the power supply from the main electricity
source
Connect all data cables Disconnect the power supply to the device
Connect the power supply to the device Disconnect the data cables
Connect the power supply to the main electricity source
Turn the power supply switch to the ON position
2.1.1 Power Source Connection
The Teldat G1N router is powered with an external AC/DC source.
To avoid electric shocks, residual current circulation and other unwanted effects, also affecting communications, the
following is recommended:
Warning
All interconnected communication devices should be plugged to THE SAME GROUNDED POWER
OUTLET, which should at the same time be of good quality (lower than 10 ohms).
Whether the workplace is provided with an uninterrupted power supply system (UPS), regulated supply
or it is independent from the rest (such as lighting, etc.); it is highly recommended that all data devices
should be connected to the same power source. This will avoid operating and premature aging prob-
lems of drivers and other components.

To connect the power source to the device, follow the steps listed in the earlier table: ensure that the switch is OFF
(0) and the power supply is NOT connected to the main electricity supply; find the 12 V DC connector, located on the
rear panel of the device, and plug it into the power source.
2.1.2 Data Connection
The Teldat G1N router family has the following available connectors. Some of these connectors may not be avail-
able depending on the model:
SWITCH:
The Teldat G1N routers can incorporate a 4 port Switch, 10/100BaseT with automatic MDI/MDIX to connect to a loc-
al area network (LAN); this device has a 100 LED indicating connection at 100 Mbps and a 10 LED indicating con-
nection at 10 Mbps.
Please pay careful attention to the labeling to avoid confusing this switch with other types of ports.
This is available depending on the model.
Fig. 3: LAN Switch ports (4)
2.1.3 Connecting the WWAN antenna
The Teldat G1N routers have one connector in order to connect the WWAN antenna. To assemble and dismantle
the antenna, simply screw them to the connectors labeled WWAN main, which is located on the rear of the device.
Antenna installation is essential in the Teldat G1N routers in order to improve the quality of the signal received and
transmitted by the Wireless WAN module (GSM).
Note
To obtain optimum performance, the router should always have the WWAN antenna installed.
The device must have the corresponding software license installed to ensure the Wireless WAN inter-
2 Installation Teldat S.A.

face is operative.
The following image shows you where to locate the antenna connector.
Fig. 4: Antenna connector for Wireless WAN
In order to achieve optimum features, the installed radio frequency accessories (antenna and cables) should be
those recommended by Teldat.
Teldat has a series of accessories (90º mount antennas, exterior antennas, ceiling antennas, extension cables, etc.)
enabling the Teldat G1N routers to be installed in different locations.
2.1.3.1 Positioning the antenna
The antenna orientation, its location with respect to other wireless devices and radiation devices, such as communic-
ation devices, personal computers, etc., can significantly influence device performance.
The antennas transmit and receive radio signals. Performance is also affected by environmental factors such as the
distance between the device and the base station, physical obstacles and other interferences due to radio frequen-
cies (RF).
In order to achieve the best coverage, carry out the following instructions:
• Whenever possible, place the antenna where there are no physical obstacles. Obstacles between the antenna and
the base station degrade the wireless signal. Situate the antenna above ground level and ensure that it is suitably
orientated towards the nearest base station.
• Density of materials also affects the antennas. Place them away from any type of wall, metal screens, mirrors, etc.
• Do not place the antenna near columns that can produce shadow areas and reduce the coverage zone.
• Keep the antenna away from metal pipes such as canals, air-conditioning, etc.
• Please bear in mind that other wireless devices such as telephones, microwaves, etc., can temporarily interfere
with the quality of the wireless signal.
• We do not recommend that you install the antennas near or between racks containing communication devices,
computers, etc. Use an extension cable and position the antenna outside.
The following recommendations are applicable to all wireless devices:
• Do not touch or move the antenna while the device is transmitting or receiving.
• Do not touch any equipment that contains devices which radiate where the antenna is very close to or touching any
exposed part of the body, particularly the face and eyes, when it is transmitting.
• Do not install the device in areas where the atmosphere is potentially explosive.
• Wireless devices can cause interference in other devices. Do not use the device in areas where medical equip-
ment is installed.
• In order to ensure that you are complying with the R&TTE 1999/5/EC norm, the device must be at least 15 cm
away from any person when operating.

Teldat Router G1N 5

2.1.4 Connecting to the WLAN antenna
The Teldat G1N router has two connectors for an external antenna. This improves the quality of the signal received
and transmitted through the Wireless LAN module. This module is optional; your device may not have Wireless LAN
and, consequently, no antennas. To assemble and disassemble the antennas, simply screw them into the connect-
ors labeled WLAN located on the rear of the device.
Fig. 5: Antenna connectors for the Wireless LAN
So that the Wireless LAN interface is operative, the device must have a plug-in Wireless LAN card and the corres-
ponding software license. Depending on the model, the antennas could be an original factory setting. If your device
does not have the Wireless LAN module incorporated, you can obtain this later on. The manual accompanying this
module will indicate how to install it in the device, together with the corresponding antenna cables.
2.1.5 Connecting for configuration
The Teldat G1N routers have a RJ45 female connector on the front panel referred to as “ Conf.” which provides ac-
cess to the device local console. In order to configure this, you must connect the “ Conf.” port to an asynchronous ter-
minal (or to a PC with terminal emulation).
Fig. 6: Teldat G1N configuration connector
Note
Configuration for the terminal must be as follows:
- Speed: 9600 bps.
- Eight data bits.
- One stop bit.
- No parity bit.
- No type of flow control.
Connection to the configuration port can be carried out using the RJ45 connectors cable, provided with the device,
together with the RJ45 Female-DB9 Female adapter also provided with the device. In cases where the terminal has
DB25 connectors, you will need to use an additional adapter.

2.2 Installing the SIM card
The Teldat G1N routers have a Wireless WAN interface that, in order to operate, may require at least one SIM card
that must be inserted into the device.
The Teldat G1N routers have two SIM trays. One is accessible from the outside and the other is located inside the
device.
You must always insert at least one SIM card. When only one SIM card is going to be used in these devices, it can
be inserted into either of the two SIM trays. However you must remember that you will need to suitably configured
the router so it selects the appropriate tray.
Warning
Never install the SIM card when the device is switched on.
Always disconnect the device from the main power supply before inserting the internal SIM.
Always disconnect the device before removing the casing to get to the internal SIM.
When inserting the SIM card, please protect yourself against electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Do not touch the SIM card connectors.
2.2.1 Installing the internal SIM
To access the internal SIM you need to open the upper casing of the device. To do this you need to undo the four
screws which are on the underside of the device. You’ll find the tray just below the WWAN antenna connector and
situated on the device’s main motherboard.
In order to insert a SIM card in the internal tray, locate the retaining flange (metal fastening with OPEN and LOCK on
it) so you can open the tray and place the SIM card on it. The steps are as follows:
(1) Push the fastening to the right (OPEN) until the tray is released.
(2) Open the upper part of the tray.
