Connecting the hardware5.1.1. Install the SIM cardInsert a SIM card into the SIM socket. If the router has two SIM card sockets, use the first one. Makesure the SIM is enabled for data transmission.There are two reasons for installing the SIM card as the first task: a) the SIM card could be damagedwhen inserted into the powered equipment, b) the information from SIM card are read only after a powercycle.5.1.2.

Connect the LAN cableConnect one M!DGE/MG102i Ethernet port to your computer using an Eth cat.5 cable.5.1.4. Connect the power supplyConnect the power supply wires to the M!DGE/MG102i screw terminals, ensuring correct polarity.Switch on the power supply.5.2. Powering up your wireless routerSwitch on your power supply. The status LED flashes for a few seconds and after 8 seconds it startsblinking to a green light. After approximately 30 seconds your router will have booted and will be ready;the Status LED remains shining.When the Mobile Connection is enabled the Connect LED starts blinking while connecting to theGPRS/UMTS network – the color (green/orange/red) represents the signal strength (excellent, medium,weak).You’ll find the description of the individual LED states in Section 4.3, “Indication LEDs”.5.3. Connecting MG102i to a programming PCa. Please connect the Ethernet interfaces of your computer and MG102i.b. If not yet enabled, please enable the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) so that yourcomputer can lease an IP address from MG102i.
