The Teldat-iM8 router has an expansion slot. This means you may increase its features and interfaces by inserting
different cards or boards.
This slot is located on the router front panel, as shown in following figure:
Fig. 6: Expansion slot
To correctly insert cards, please follow these steps:
(1) Switch off the device and remove the data cables as described under section Disconnecting on page 15.
(2) Remove the device from the workplace and place it in a stable, safe location where it can be easily accessed
and handled.
(3) Unscrew the screws on the front panel to dismantle the tray for the expansion cards.

Fig. 15: Anchor bolts for a rack
3.3.1 Standalone
The Teldat-iM8 can be placed as a standalone on a flat, stable surface. The adhesive rubber feet must be stuck to
the underside panel to prevent the router from sliding.
Make sure there is enough space around the router (for ventilation purposes) and check the electricity cables can
reach it.
3.3.2 Wall mounting
The Teldat-iM8 cannot be mounted on the wall.
3.4 Plug-in Modules
Currently, only the 3G USB modem can be inserted in the device. To view the list of supported 3G modems, please
go to the following website: http://www.teldat.com.
Teldat S.A. 3 Components and Power Supply
Teldat Router iM8 13

3.4.1 Installation
To install the USB modem, simply insert it in the appropriate rear-panel slot (as shown in the following figure):
Fig. 16: USB modem insertion slot
3.4.2 Uninstall
To remove the device, simply remove it from the slot where it was inserted.
3.5 Power Source
The Teldat-iM8 is powered though an external AC/DC source.
Additionally, the Teldat-iM8 incorporates a card to inject PoE through the 4 ports of the 8-port Switch. In this case,
the device must be connected to an AC/DC external power source to power said module.
Workplace Conditions. Main Characteristics
• Avoid humid and/or dusty locations.
• Direct exposure to sunlight and to other heat sources must be avoided. 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 following the steps set forth in Connecting on page 15 andDisconnecting on page 15.
3.5.1 External Power Source
To connect the power supply to the device, please follow the steps set out in section Connecting on page 15.
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.
