Reset Button

Reset button is designed for resetting parameters to factory values. To reset parameters press a Reset button with a keen object and hold it during a device turning on.

SIM Slot

SIM Card slot is designed to install a SIM card. A SIM card is installed contacts down. A truncated edge of a SIM card should be inside a device. Correct installation of a SIM card is shown on the picture.

GSM OK LED

When lighting, it means a successful connection to a GSM network and readiness to receive/send SMS messages.

GSM ANT Socket

GSM ANT socket is designed for connecting an external GSM antenna to a device.

LAN Socket

An Ethernet 10/100 BASE-T port is used for connecting to a network.

An Ethernet port has two LEDs. The left one – CPU, when lighting, it means a device is turned on and when blinking it means transferring packages to a network. The right one – Link, when lighting it means having a link on the port, and when blinking, it means receiving packages from a network.

EXT BAT STATUS Terminal Block

The functionality of this terminal block is not implemented in the firmware of the device, so in practice it cannot yet be used.

EXT BAT STATUS terminal block is designed to connect IO STATE lines of a NetPing mini-UPS device.

Terminal 1 –. GND

Terminal 2 – IO Line 2

Terminal 3 – IO Line 1

Logic level 0 – no more than 0.3 V. Logic level 1 – no more than 0.7 V. A maximum allowable voltage is 5 V.

Electric parameters of IO lines

In the «output» mode:

  • the voltage of logic «1»: maintains +3,3V 2mA (is not used as the output);
  • the voltage of logic «0»: maintains 0 V, 2 mA (is not used as the output).

In the «input» mode:

  • voltage of logic «1»: > 2,31 V;
  • voltage of logic «0»: < 0,99 V.
