additional licenses.
Fig. 12: LAN switch ports (6)
3.5.2 Connecting the WWAN Antenna (RF connectors)
The Regesta-PRO ER B has two connectors for RF antennas. To assemble and disassemble the antennas, simply
screw/unscrew them into/from the connectors labeled as RF1/RF2 (located on the front panel of the device).
When a device has 2 WWAN modules, each connector is connected to each of the WWAN modules (MAIN internal
connectors for both modules). Whenever a device has just one WWAN module, the RF1 connector is connected to
the module MAIN connector and the RF2 connector to the AUX connector in the same module. This configuration
means you can use diverse techniques to improve the quality of the radio connection (valid for HSDPA, HSUPA,
HSPA+ and LTE technologies).
Installing an antenna in the Regesta-PRO ER B is necessary to improve the quality of the signal received and trans-
mitted by the WWAN module (GPRS, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, etc.).
Fig. 13: WWAN antenna connectors
Caution
To achieve high-quality performance, the router must always have WWAN antennas installed.
WWAN interfaces with access to the 2G network (GPRS/EDGE) are operative in all devices in this
range. To access the 3G network (UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA) or HSPA+) the device must have additional
licenses incorporated.
3 Components and Power Supply Teldat S.A.
12 Regesta-PRO ER B Router

Teldat has a series of accessories (dipole antennas, indoor antennas, roof mount antennas, extension cables, etc.),
which allow you to install the Regesta-PRO ER B in different locations.
3.5.2.1 Positioning the Antenna
Antenna orientation, its location with respect to other wireless devices and radiation devices, such as communication
devices, personal computers, etc., can significantly influence device performance.
Antennas transmit and receive radio signals. Performance is also affected by environmental factors such as the dis-
tance between the device and the base station, physical obstacles and other interferences due to radio frequencies
(RF).
For optimum coverage, carry out the following:
• Whenever possible, place the antenna where there are no physical obstacles. Obstacles between the antenna and
the base station degrade the wireless signal. Place the antenna above ground level facing the nearest base sta-
tion.
• Density of materials also affects antennas. Place them away from any type of wall, metal screens, mirrors, etc.
• Do not place the antenna near columns, which may throw shadows and reduce the coverage area.
• 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 installing the antennas near, or between, racks containing communication devices, com-
puters, etc. Use an extension cable and place 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 containing devices that 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.
• To ensure you are complying with the R&TTE 1999/5/EC norm, the device must be at least 15 cm away from a hu-
man body when operating.
3.5.3 Connecting to the serial ports
The Regesta-PRO ER B can have one or various female DB9 connectors, depending on the model.
3.5.3.1 Console connector as serial port (CONF connector)
It’s possible to convert the console port into an RS-232 asynchronous DCE serial port. This port has the following
characteristics:
• DCE port.
• RS-232 norm.
• Maximum speed of 38400 bps.
• Only the following signals are available: RxD (pin 2), TxD (pin 3) and GND (5).

Chapter 4 Installing the SIM card
The Regesta-PRO ER B has Wireless WAN interfaces that, in order to operate, may require at least one SIM card to
be inserted into the device. There are certain services (CDMA) provided by several carriers in some countries, which
do not require SIM cards.
The Regesta-PRO ER B has two SIM trays. Both trays are located inside the device casing and are labeled SK1 and
SK2.
In installations where only one SIM card is required, we recommend it is installed in the main SK1 tray.
Warning
Never install SIM cards when the device is switched on.
Always disconnect the device from the main power supply before installing SIM cards.
Always disconnect the device before removing the casing to access the trays.
When inserting SIM cards, please protect yourself against electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Do not touch SIM cards connectors.
To access the SIM tray, you need to open the upper casing of the device. To do this, unscrew the four screws loc-
ated on the upper cover of the device.
Fig. 16: Screws on the upper casing
4.1 Identifying the SIM trays
Once you have removed the upper casing, you will be able to see the different elements illustrated below.
The Regesta-PRO ER B incorporates 2 SIM cards, which allow you to execute some special configurations. One ex-
ample is installing two SIMs and using one as backup to the other. To carry out this type of configuration, you must
assign a tray to each SIM (since they require different configuration parameters).
The SIM trays are identified as SK1 and SK2 i.e. socket 1 and socket 2.
