Step 2 Open your wireless network list and connect to “autonet-XXXX”. (The last 4 digits will be the same as your last 4 digits of CarFi serial number). Step 3 Open your web browser. Click on the login button.
6Configuring CarFi It is highly recommended to enable “encryption type/key security” and change the default password for CarFi Configuring CarFi’s settings Step 1 Locate CarFi’s ten digit serial number located on the back side of CarFi, or in front of the User’s guide included in the package. (If you have trouble locating the serial number of the CarFi, please call our customer support line at 1-800-977-2107 for assistance) Step 2: Open a web browser and go to: http://www.autonetrouter.com/admin Login with username “autonet” and use CarFi’s serial number as the password (e.g. 0024C76258). Click on the login button. Please note that all Alpha characters must be capitalized.
Configuring Wireless Settings Click on “Wireless Settings” The wireless settings default page will look similar to the right 7Setting ESSID The ESSID is the identifying name of a wireless network - strictly it is the identifying name of a wireless access point. It allows one wireless network to be clearly distinguishable from another. The default ESSID is autonet-xxxx, where xxxx is the last 4 digits of CarFi’s serial number. Although this can be modified, it is recommended that you keep this ESSID as the default to distinguish CarFi from other hotspots in the same vicinity. Please note that if you change this name, you may need to reset your networks list/connection on your web accessible device.
8Configuring Wireless Settings (continued) Setting the Encryption type/key By default the encryption type and key are not set at the factory. To set the current encryption type (WEP, WPA, WPA2), use the pull down menu to select the encryption type, then enter the encryption key value. Min/Max digits for each encryption type are the following: WEP-Wired Equivalent Privacy. An IEEE standard security protocol for 802.11 networks. This protocol has been superseded by WPA and WPA2. A 10 Hex digit string (i.e. 0123456789) or a 5 character ASCII string (i.e. s: smile) Security Strength:Good WPA-WiFi Protected Access. A WiFi Alliance security protocol for 802.11 networks A 8-63 ASCII character string length (the longer the character string, the stronger the encryption) Security Strength: Better WPA2-WiFi Protected Access. A WiFi Alliance security protocol for 802.11 networks. A 8-63 ASCII character string (the longer the character string, the stronger the encryption) Security Strength: Best Autonet Mobile recommends WPA2 Radio Mode This feature allows you to select whether the radio is in 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11a mode. The default setting is (g), which is backward compatible with (b) but not (a). If your system only supports (a), you will need to set CarFi’sRadio mode to (a) to operate properly. This action requires a re-boot of the CarFi if changed.
Configuring Wireless Settings (continued) Channel Direct communication between an 802.11 Radio card and an access point occurs over a common channel frequency. The FCC allows channels 1 through 11 within the U.S. An important concept to note regarding channel assignments is that the channel actually represents the center frequency that the transceiver within the radio and access point uses (e.g., 2.412 GHz for channel 1 and 2.417 GHz for channel 2). There is only 5 MHz separation between the center frequencies, and an 802.11b signal occupies approximately 30 MHz of the frequency spectrum. The signal falls within about 15 MHz of each side of the center frequency. As a result, an 802.11b signal overlaps with several adjacent channel frequencies. This leaves you with only three channels (channels 1, 6, and 11 for the U.S.) That you can use without causing interference between access points. TxPower This allows you to set the transmit power of the radio. Setting a lower value limits the range of the radio and reduces interference with other access points. (default: 19 recommended) Bit rate This allows you to set the bit rate in Mbs. The bit rate is the speed at which bits are transmitted over the medium. The user speed of the link is lower due to medium sharing and various overhead. Select a value to lock the card to a particular bit rate. If you specify auto, the driver will use all bit rates to find an optimum rate. (default: auto recommended) RTS threshold RTS/CTS adds a handshake before each packet transmission to make sure that the channel is clear. This adds overhead, but Increases performance in case of hidden nodes or a large number of active nodes. This parameter sets the size of the smallest packet for which the node sends rts; a value equal to the maximum packet size disables the mechanism. You may also set this parameter to off. (default: off recommended) 9
Configuring Wireless Settings (continued) Fragmentation threshold Fragmentation allows the splitting of an IP packet in a burst of smaller fragments transmitted on the medium. In most cases this adds overhead, but in a very noisy environment this reduces the error penalty and allows packets to get through interference bursts. This parameter sets the maximum fragment size. You may also set this to off to disable the mechanism. (default: off recommended) The Wireless Security Settings allow you to control which wireless-equipped devices may communicate with the router, depending on their MAC addresses. By default these MAC filters are disabled. If you turn MAC filters on, you should be sure and include the MAC address of the device that you are using to communicate with. Otherwise, the device that you’re using will lose its connection to CarFi’s Hotspot. To enable MAC filters, change the MAC filters option to “on” and then check the “Allowed” box next to the MAC addresses that you wish to allow to join the network. If you would like to connect devices that are not currently attached to CarFi’s Hotspot, you may add them in the text field. You can add multiple devices by separating them with a space. Select “commit changes” when finished.(Default setting: MAC filters off) Configuring Wireless Security Settings Click on “Wireless Security” 10
Disabling the Login Screen Click on “login control” Normally a device that connects to the Autonet Mobile network must first click through the login screen that comes up on your web browser. However, there are some devices that do not have a web browser (cameras, music players, etc.), so we’ve created a method for disabling the login page for those devices. To bypass the login screen for a device, check the box under “no login required” next to the MAC address of that device. If you would like to add devices that are not currently attached to CarFi’s Hotspot, then you may add them in the text field. You can add multiple devices by separating them with a space. Select “Commit Changes” when you are finished. Changing the Password Click on “Password” 11

When replacing a fuse, only use an Autonet approved fuse. Any fuse more than the approved rating may cause damage to the CarFi.  Make sure the car ignition is turned off before attempting to install the CarFi unit and its power cable/connections.  Be sure CarFi is connected to a 12V DC power source with a negative ground connection, with a minimum of 1.8A.  Connect CarFi’s ground wire to an appropriate car chassis ground point that has a direct connection to the car batteries negative terminal. 18
Installation Instructions (continued)  Connect the 12V positive power wire for CarFi, directly from the ignition power source. Installing the wiring in the inline harness may cause blown fuses, etc. Installing it directly to the car battery can deplete the battery and possibly cause a “dead” battery scenario.  When installing the wiring, do not run along any sharp chassis edges or through any exposed sharp chassis openings. Use insulation grommets or other appropriate insulation materials. Mounting Locations-Do’s and Don’ts CarFi is typically mounted in the following locations:  On the inside rear side panel in an SUV or Van.  Under the rear deck lid in a sedan.  In the trunk of the vehicle.  In a location that gives the antennas the fewest obstructions to the outside of the vehicle. CarFi should not be mounted in the following locations:  In a location that interferes with driving.  In a location that may have water intrusion.  In a location that has extreme dust intrusion  In a location that is extremely hot or has hot air flowing on the unit.  In a location that gets direct sunlight.  In a location within 20 cm of any passenger.  In a location under or surrounded by carpet.  In a location that does not allow heat to easily dissipate (glove box, etc.).  In a location near the dashboard, rear tray or air bag safety parts. 19
Installation Instructions (continued) Fastening CarFi to the Vehicle  Use the appropriate fasteners to attach the docking unit to the vehicle. Do not over tighten the screws or fasteners.  When making a hole or openings in a side panel, under a seat, in the trunk, in the rear deck or somewhere else in the vehicle, check that there is nothing hazardous on the opposite side such as a gas tank, brake line, battery or wiring harness.  Ensure that the unit is securely fastened and that it cannot be dislodged after installation. Electrical wiring  Remove the ignition key and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery when installing CarFi.  The electrical wiring must be routed to the power source in a manner that prevents the wire from being damaged or nicked in any way. It should also be ensured that the wire is not exposed in a manner that may allow it to become snagged or entangled in any way. When extending the ignition, battery, or ground wires, make sure to use automotive grade/UL approved wires with a minimum 18 AWG.  Connect the power wire (Red wire) to a circuit that only provides power when the ignition is turned on. Be sure to install the 2A protective fuse/fuse holder in line with the power wire.  Connect the Ground wire (Black wire) to an appropriate car chassis ground point that has a direct connection to the car batteries negative terminal.  After powering up CarFi, the blue indicator LED will begin to blink after about 15 seconds.  After installing the unit and wiring, check to make sure that electrical equipment such as the brake lamps, turn signal lamps and windshield wipers operate normally. Mounting and wiring this product requires the appropriate skill and experience. For safety’s sake, leave the mounting and wiring work to professionals. 20

Using the services to transmit any unsolicited commercial e-mail or unsolicited bulk e-mail. Activities that have the effect of facilitating unsolicited commercial e-mail or unsolicited bulk e-mail whether or not that email is commercial in nature are prohibited. H. Unauthorized access.

Using the services to transmit any material (by e-mail, uploading, posting, or otherwise) that Infringes any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other proprietary rights of any third party, Including, but not limited to, the unauthorized copying of copyrighted material, the digitization and distribution of photographs from magazines, books, or other copyrighted sources, and the unauthorized transmittal of copyrighted software.

This Includes “denial of service” (dos) attacks against another network host or individual user. Interference with or disruption of other network users, network services or network equipment is prohibited.It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that their network is configured in a secure manner. A user may not, through action or inaction, allow others to use their network for illegal or inappropriate actions. A user may not permit their network, through action or inaction, to be configured in such a way that gives a third party the capability to use their network in an illegal or inappropriate manner. M. News. Autonet Mobile users should use their best judgment when posting to any newsgroup. Many groups have charters, published guidelines, FAQ’s, or “community standards” describing what is and is not considered appropriate. Usenet can be a valuable resource if used properly. The continued posting of off-topic articles is prohibited. Commercial advertisements are off- topic in most newsgroups, especially regional groups not specifically named for such. The presence of such articles in a group is not indicative of the group’s “intended” use. Please familiarize yourself with basic Usenet netiquette before posting to a newsgroup. Autonet Mobile considers “multiposting” to 10 or more groups within a two week sliding window to be excessive. Autonet Mobile servers currently limit the number of allowable “cross-posts” to 9. Autonet Mobile users may not cancel messages other than their own messages. A user may cancel posts forged in that user’s name. We may cancel any postings which violate this AUP. N. Long connections and multiple logins. Using a personal account for high volume or commercial use is prohibited. The services are intended for periodic, active use of e-mail, newsgroups, file transfers, internet chat, games, and browsing the World Wide Web. Users may stay connected so long as they are actively using that connection for the above purposes. Users may not use the services on a standby or inactive basis in order to maintain a connection. Pinging is expressly prohibited. Accordingly, Autonet Mobile, Inc maintains the right to terminate any member’s connection following any extended period of inactivity as determined by Autonet Mobile, Inc. 30
