Item Description
A Adhesive rubber feet (these are not required for rack mounting).
3.2 Mounting an Anti-Theft Security Cable
The M8-Smart devices have been equipped with a standard Kensington security slot to which a security cable can
be attached. The T-bar lock of the security cable allows the device to be attached to an anchor point, thus preventing
potential thefts.
The security slot is located on the rear panel of the housing, as shown in the following figure:
Fig. 21: Security Slot
3.3 Rack installation
The M8-Smart device can be installed in a 19” rack. The necessary strips and screws are not provided by default
and must be acquired separately.
Both strips are attached to the device by means of 5 screws, as shown in the following figure:
Teldat S.A. 3 Components and Power Supply
M8-Smart 11

Fig. 22: Rack anchor bolts
3.3.1 Standalone
M8-Smart devices can be placed as standalones 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 that the power cord and
data cables can easily reach it.
3.3.2 Wall mounting
The M8-Smart cannot be mounted on a wall.
3.4 Plug-in Modules
The M8-Smart does not have plug-in modules.
3.5 Power Source
The M8-Smart router is powered through an external AC/DC power adapter.
Warning
The equipment must be used with the power supply provided by the manufacturer.
Workplace conditions. Main characteristics
• Avoid humid and/or dusty locations.
• Direct exposure to sunlight and other heat sources should 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 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 13 andDisconnecting on page 13.
3 Components and Power Supply Teldat S.A.
12 M8-Smart

3.5.1 Power Source
To connect the power supply to the device, please follow the steps set out in Connecting on page 13.
To avoid electric shocks, residual current circulation and other unwanted effects that affect communications, the fol-
lowing is recommended:
Warning
For safety and EMC purposes, the external power supply must be connected to a grounded power out-
let.
Note
We recommended plugging all interconnected communication devices to the same grounded power
outlet.
3.5.1.1 Connecting
• Ensure that the on/off power supply switch is in the OFF position (0).
• Make sure the power supply is NOT connected to the mains or to the device.
• Connect all data cables.
• Connect the external adapter power cable to the device.
• Connect the adapter power cable to the main supply (wall socket).
• Set the device's on/off power supply switch in the ON position (1).
3.5.1.2 Disconnecting
• Set the on/off power supply switch in the OFF position (0).
• Disconnect the adapter power cable to the main supply (wall socket).
• Remove the power supply cable from the device.
• Disconnect the data cables.
3.6 RST Button
The different RST button features are described below.
Fig. 23: RST button
3.6.1 Rebooting the device
Once the device is operating normally, pressing the RST button will force a restart.
Note
It will also force a restart of the embedded Access Point (if present).
Teldat S.A. 3 Components and Power Supply
M8-Smart 13

3.6.2 Default Configuration
The RST button allows you to boot the device with its default configuration (including the embedded Access Point, if
present) through the following steps:
• With the device switched off, press and hold the RST button down while you turn on the router using the ON/OFF
switch (1).
• The PWR LED (green) will light up and LED 'S' will begin to blink (amber). It will carry on blinking for 10 seconds.
• To boot the device with the default configuration, release the RST button while LED 'S' is still blinking (i.e. before
the 10-second period expires).
The router's default configuration establishes the following access IP and mask address:
• IP address: 192.168.1.1
• IP mask: 255.255.255.0
If available, the embedded access point's default configuration establishes the following parameters:
• IP address: DHCP client with no. 192.168.0.252/24 as default
• Credentials: admin / admin
• Only GUI access enabled
Note
Some devices leave the factory with customized settings. This personalization means your router's de-
fault configuration (and that of the embedded access point, where applicable) may be different from the
one shown above.
3.7 Data connections
The M8-Smart router has the following data connections.
3.7.1 4-port Ethernet switch Connections
The M8-Smart router incorporates a 4-port 10/100/1000 Base-T switch with automatic MDI/MDIX to connect to a loc-
al area network (LAN).
Please pay careful attention to the labeling to avoid mistaking this switch for other types of ports:
Fig. 24: LAN switch ports
Note
Only the LAN 1 connector is available during booting and in BIOS mode.
3.7.2 WAN Connections
The M8-Smart has 4 Ethernet interfaces for WAN connection. These ports have 2 connectors - SFP for an optical
link and RJ45 for a 10/100/1000 Base-T link - but they cannot work simultaneously. These interfaces are totally inde-
pendent from the switch and are handled as every other interface.
Please pay careful attention to the labeling to avoid mistaking these ports for other types of ports:

Note
WAN connectors do not work during booting and in BIOS mode.
3.7.2.1 Laser information
Chose SFP transceivers that meet the following regulations
• Class 1
• IEC/EN60825-1:2007 2nd Edition or later, European standard
• FCC 21 CFR Chapter 1, Subchapter J (in accordance with FDA and CDRH re-
quirements)
• Application of CE marking in accordance with the 2014/30/EU EMC Directive
and the 2014/35/EU Low Voltage Directive
• UL and/or CSA registered component for North America
• 47 CFR Part 15, Class A
Warning
Laser Radiation. Do not use optical instruments directly or without proper protection. CLASS 1 LASER
PRODUCT
The SFP modules to be installed in the card socket should be class 1 devices that comply with the IEC/
EN 60825-1:2007 standard
3.7.3 WWAN Antenna Connection (Cell connector)
The M8-Smart has two connectors for WWAN antennas in the rear panel and two connectors for WWAN antennas in
the side panels (on models equipped with this interface).
To assemble or dismantle the antennas, simply screw or unscrew them into or out of the connectors labeled Cell
(located on the rear panel and side panels of the router).
Installing these antennas in the M8-Smart is essential to improve the quality of the signal received and transmitted
by the cellular model.
Note
To achieve high-quality performance, the router should always have the WWAN antennas installed.
For the cellular interface to work, the router needs the corresponding software license.
Some cellular telephony technologies use the antenna diversity technique to improve the quality of the signal re-
ceived. The M8-Smart router family incorporates several WWAN connectors for this.
