To turn the power off, press the Power button when the appliance is on. If you press and immediately release the button,
the appliance shuts down gracefully. If you press and hold the button for a longer period, it turns off power to the
appliance ands shuts it down.
Reset Button
The Reset button on the rear panel of a CSG300 series appliance resets the appliance. The reset functionality depends
on the number of times you press it, as described in Table 3.
The Reset button is recessed so that it is not accidentally pressed while the appliance is operational.
To press the Reset button, use a sharp narrow tool. Each time you press the Reset button, you hear a buzzer sound.

LTE Modem Module
The CSG300 series LTE modem module is a high-performance Cat-6 LTE Advanced modem that provides up to 300
Mbps download speeds and 50 Mbps upload speeds. The LTE modem supports multiple carriers, and it has been
certified by major global carriers. The appliance has two externally accessible SIM card slots, one for each embedded
LTE-A modem. If the appliance is configured with two LTE-A modems, each SIM card is used to control one LTE radio
each. The appliance also has one USB slot that can be connected to an LTE dongle if desired. With two internal
modems and one USB attached modem, you can deploy up to three simultaneous LTE WAN connections.
The LTE firmware-driven modem module provides the following capabilities:
• Externally accessible SIM cards that support dual-LTE modems.
• Connects to most global carrier's network based on the SIM card inserted. For example, if a SIM card is inserted
from carrier A, the modem will auto-detect the SIM card and connect to carrier A's network. If a SIM card is
inserted from carrier B, the modem will connect to the network of carrier B.
• Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver enables tracking and location-based services.
• Stores up to three firmware versions, thereby allowing the modem to switch to other networks.
• Firmware can be upgraded over the air.
• Secure boot provides secure connectivity by preventing unauthorized code on target devices.
The LTE modem connections are metered connections, and the Versa software implementation ensures that the LTE
service is charged only when needed. Policies and scenarios that determine the use of LTE interfaces are set by
network operators and implemented by Versa FlexVNF accordingly.

You can order CSG300 series appliances with an optional LTE modem module. The LTE modem modules have either
one SIM slot or two SIM slots. For modules with one SIM slot, you insert the SIM card into the SIM1 slot, which is on the
front of the appliance. For modules with two SIM slots, you insert a SIM card into each of the two SIM slots, which are
labeled SIM1 and SIM2.
If the appliance is off when you insert the SIM card or cards, the LTE functionality is activated when you boot the
appliance. If you insert the SIM card or cards into the LTE modem module when the appliance is on and operational,
you must reboot the appliance to restart the LTE modem and LTE functionality. To do this, you must power off the
appliance, unplug the power cable, plug the power cable back in, and press the power button. Simply powering the
appiance on and off does not restart the LTE modem. Also, pressing the reset button on the appliance or rebooting the
appliance from Versa Director does not restart the LTE modem.

Wireless Options
The CSG350 appliance has two internal wireless slots which can be configured for single LTE or dual LTE. The CSG355
and CSG365 appliances have three internal wireless slots.
The CSG300 series appliances have one WiFi Access Point (AP) module. The WiFi AP module is a dual-band module
that simultaneously supports 2.4 GHz, for longer distances, and 5 GHz, for faster throughput. It provides the following
WiFi capabilities:
• WiFi radios preconfigured for 2.4GHz or 5.0-GHz operation
• DFS frequency bands, enabled by default, thereby providing more frequency bands for 5 GHz radio
• 802.11ac Wave 2 standard and 2x2:2 Multi User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) for more efficient
transmission to multiple clients
• Built-in WiFi mesh capabilities
• Bluetooth for ZTP and smartphone applications
• IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac protocols
• Channel bandwidth of 20 MHz, 40 MHz, and 80 MHz
• Channel bonding with channel bandwidths of 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 20 MHz, and 40 MHz
• Background scanning automatically selects the best and cleanest channel
• Up to 512 concurrent clients across both frequencies, while each radio supports up to 255 clients
• Up to 16 SSIDs simultaneously
• Client steering capabilities across respective frequency bands based on load and number of clients in each
frequency thereby allowing end devices to have optimum experience
• Certified for FCC and CE
The WiFi AP module has a hardware-based cryptographic engine that includes secure boot. WiFi security is provided by
802.11i, AES-CCMP, AES-GCMP, PRNG, TKIP, WAPI, WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPS based encryption methods.
You can seamlessly integrate the WiFi AP module with Versa FlexVNF features, including over-the-air traffic analysis
and other analytics. FlexVNF provides queuing mechanisms, including weighted round-robin (WRR). In addition, the
WiFi AP module has a built-in QoS feature that prioritizes and manages over-the-air traffic. It also has built-in spectrum
analyzer capabilities to detect rogue frequencies in an environment, if desired.

Power Supply and Airflow
This article describes the AC power supply and airflow requirements for CSG300 appliances.
AC Power Supply for CSG300 Series Appliances
By default, CSG300 series appliances ship with one AC power supply unit.
If you order the CSG300 series appliance with the power over Ethernet (PoE) NIC module, an additional power supply
unit ships with the appliance.
Table 1 describes the AC power supply specifications for each power supply unit.
Table 1: CSG300 Series Appliance AC Power Supply Specifications
Item Specification
AC input voltage 100–240 Volts
AC input line frequency 50–60 Hz
Typical power consumption with PoE disabled 35 Watts
Typical power consumption with PoE enabled 60 Watts
Airflow Requirements
The CSG300 series appliance is made of aluminum for optimal heat dissipation.
The appliance is cooled by a fan.
When planning your site for installing a CSG300 series appliance in a 19-inch rack, allow a minimum of 0.5 RU space on
each side of the appliance to allow hot air to flow out of the appliance.
When placing a CSG300 series appliance on a desk, ensure that the vents on the side of the unit are never blocked, to
allow hot air to flow out of the appliance. Covering the vents prevents heat from dissipating out of the appliance, which
will cause the chassis to overheat and then shut down.

Installation Guidelines
This article provides general safety standards and warnings relating to installing or connecting a CSG300 series
appliance.
General Safety Guidelines
Caution: Before installing or removing a CSG300 series appliance, ensure that the appliance chassis is electrically
connected to ground. When you are installing or removing an appliance, ensure that you wear an ESD grounding wrist
strap. To put the ESD grounding strap on properly, attach it to an ESD point and then place the other end of the strap
around your bare wrist, making good skin contact. Failure to use an ESD grounding strap could damage the appliance.
