(Not visible) Factory Use Only

Temporarily sets the LAN IP address to 192.168.0.250.

The Two-pin Jumper should be kept on until the unit boots and becomes accessible. Itremains at this address as long as the Two-pin Jumper is in place, regardless of theLAN IP address configured on the web server.

The OWL-IPG-AMERICAS reverts to the configured server address once the Two-pinJumper is removed.Resets the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS to factory defaults.

The Two-pin Jumper should be kept until all the LEDs start to slowly blink. At thispoint, the Two-pin Jumper should be removed and the unit should be power cycled.After doing so, the front panel LEDs blink continuously, but the unit will not operateany further. Remove the Two-pin Jumper and power cycle the device to restore nor-mal operations with factory defaults.

The custom username/password will also be reset to the defaults values.


3.4 Reset (Power Cycle) ButtonThe reset button is located at the bottom of the front panel of the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS.


4 Hardware InstallationTheOWL-IPG-AMERICAS should bemounted in a position that allows easy access for thecables so they are not bent, constricted, in close proximity to high amperage, or exposed toextreme temperatures. The LEDs on the front panel should be visible for ease of operational veri-fication. Ensure that there is adequate airflow around the device but kept free from direct expos-ure to the elements, such as sun, rain, dust, etc.

Caution: TheOWL-IPG-AMERICAS is in a hardened case, and designed for use in industrialand extreme environments. However, unless you are using cables expressly designed for suchenvironments, they can fail if exposed to the same conditions the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS can with-stand.

4.1 Power RequirementsTheOWL-IPG-AMERICAS accepts voltages between 10 and 30 VDC, with an average powerdraw of 3 watts or less.

A detachable Power Connector comeswith the radio, as shown below. The terminals are labeled+ (positive DC connection) and - (DC ground connection).


Note:Whenwiring the supplied Power Connector, be sure to observe the proper polaritymark-ings. Incorrect wiring can cause serious damage to the gateway, which will not be covered underthe warranty.

The Power Connector is shown on the left. Note the + and – polaritymarkings. TheWire Install-ation Tool, shown on the right, is helpful for installing wires into the spring-loaded contacts insidethe Power Connector.


To use theWire Installation Tool, insert it into the Power Connector as shown:

Press down on theWire Installation Tool to use it as a lever to open the Power Connector’s con-tacts to insert a wire. A properly-wired Power Connector is shown:

4.2 Antenna InstallationAntennas selected should not exceed amaximumgain of 5 dBi under standard installation con-figuration. In more complex installations (such as those requiring long lengths of cable, and/or mul-tiple connections), it is imperative that the installer follow maximumdBi gain guidelines inaccordance with the radio communications regulations of the Federal CommunicationsCom-mission (FCC), Industry Canada, or your country's regulatory body (if used outside the US).

TheOWL-IPG-AMERICAS will work with most quad-bandGSM/CDMA cellular antennaswith afemale SMA connector. Connect the primary antenna or primary RF cable directly to the 'ANT A'antenna connector on the front of the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS.

A secondary antenna port labeled 'ANT B' is provided to attach an additional antenna. Use of asecondary antenna is not required, but will often increase cellular reliability and throughput per-formance.

This device is not intended for use within close proximity of the human body. Antenna installationshould have at least 20 cm separation from the operator.

Tip:When using a cable to an antenna placed away from themodem, minimize the length of yourcable. All gain from amore advantageous antenna placement can be lost with a long cable to themodem.


4.3 Connecting the Radio to a Network Device

The application ports are located on the front of the radio.

l The Ethernet port uses a standard RJ45 connectorl The serial port uses a standard DB9 connector for serial connectivity


4.3.1 Ethernet Cable SpecificationsThe recommended Ethernet cable is category 5 or better. A category 5 cable has four twistedpairs of wire that are color-coded and cannot be swapped. Themodule only uses two of the fourpairs when running at 10MBit or 100MBit speeds.

The Ethernet port on themodule is Auto-Sensing. Use either a standard Ethernet straight-through cable or a crossover cable when connecting themodule to an Ethernet hub, a10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet switch, or directly to a PC. Themodule will detect the cable typeand use the appropriate pins to send and receive Ethernet signals.

Ethernet cabling is like U.S. telephone cables but have eight conductors. Some hubs have oneinput that can accept either a straight-through or crossover cable, depending on switch position. Inthis case, ensure that the switch position and cable type agree.

5.3 Connecting to Your Cellular ProviderTheOWL-IPG-AMERICAS supports 3GGSM/GPRS and 4GLTE (where applicable) networks.It uses your cellular provider as an ISP (Internet Service Provider) to connect to the Internet. Allcellular service connections require a Subscriber IdentityModule (SIM) to be installed in the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS. This includes connections to CDMA based services like Verizon (previously didnot require a SIM). Contact your service provider to obtain a SIM.

5.3.1 Connection Using GSM/GPRSThe Subscriber IdentityModule (SIM) in the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS is a smartcard that securelystores the key identifying a cellular subscriber. Generally, you will only need to install a SIM oncein the life of the cellular gateway - and it may already be pre-installed.

Note: Your cellular provider must provide the Public APN and IP address of the SIM card.

AT&T Users: For SMS texting functionality, youmust power up theOWL-IPG-AMERICAS withthe SIM installed within 72 hours after AT&T activates the SIM card.

The SIM card slot is located on the front of the cellular gateway.

1. Remove the SIMCard Slot cover by removing the two screws holding it into place.2. Insert the SIM card (size 2FF, Mini-SIM) into the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS and cycle power.

The SIM card is read by theOWL-IPG-AMERICAS upon boot up.3. Re-attach the SIMCard Slot cover.


4. Enter the APN (Access Point Name) in theConfiguration > Basic,GatewaySettings.The APN is provided by your cellular provider.

5. After the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS reboots, it establishes a link to your cellular provider net-work, also called registering on the network, and then receives an IP address.

6. When theOWL-IPG-AMERICAS receives its IP address from the cellular provider, a con-nection to the Internet or the cellular network is also available for computers or otherdevices to connect directly to the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS.

7. TheGSMnetwork information is now displayed on theStatusweb page.


5.3.2 Connection Using CDMA1. When theOWL-IPG-AMERICAS is powered on, it automatically searches for cellular ser-

vice using CDMA-based cellular technology.2. TheOWL-IPG-AMERICAS establishes a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol or "dial" up con-

nection) link to the cellular network, also called registering on the network, and receives anIP address.

3. When theOWL-IPG-AMERICAS has received its IP address from the cellular provider, aconnection to the Internet or the cellular network is also available for computers or otherdevices to connect directly to the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS.

4. The CDMA network information is now displayed on theStatusweb page.

5.3.3 SIM Card SecurityTo protect a SIM card from others using it for phone calls or cellular data, a SIMPIN can be used.When a SIMPIN is used, the SIM card will automatically lock upon anOWL-IPG-AMERICASreboot. The PIN protection enablement, PIN (Personal identification number), and PUK (PINunlock key) codes are saved on the SIM card. Replacing the SIM card requires a reconfigurationof the SIM settings.

Most mobile devices offer SIMPIN protection. At startup, if the PIN security function is active, theuser must enter a 4 to 8 digit PIN to enable the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS’s non-emergency func-tions. You can save the PIN code in the configuration in an encrypted format.


5.3.4 SIM Card PIN VerificationThe SIMCard PIN Verification enables the OWL-IPG-AMERICAS’s non-emergency functions.By default, this feature is not enabled. The following steps show how to enable (and disable) thisfeature:
