Step 5: Unlock the SIM card
If the inserted SIM card is PIN locked, a pop-up window is displayed informing you
that you must unlock the SIM before use.
Click the OK button. The SIM Security page is displayed.
| Industrial IoT
In the Current PIN field, enter the SIM PIN and then enter it again in the Confirm
current PIN field. If you do not want to enter the PIN code each time the SIM
is inserted, select the Remember PIN option. Click the Save button. After a
moment, the router displays “Success! The SIM unlock was successful”.
11
Step 6: Connect to the Internet
If the SIM Status is OK, the NTC-140 router automatically attempts to connect to
the Internet by detecting the correct APN and connection details.
If automatic configuration was unsuccessful, you must manually enter the
connection details.
To manually configure the connection profile:
1. From the top menu bar, select the Networking option.
2. Next to Profile1, click the
screen is displayed.
button. The Data connection profile settings
3. Ensure that the Automatic APN selection toggle key is set to the
OFF position.
4. In the APN field, enter the APN name that your carrier requires for mobile
broadband connection. If required, enter the Username and Password in the
Username and Password fields. Click the Save button.
The connection profile is now configured.
| Industrial IoT
Verifying the connection status
Click on the Status menu item from the top menu bar. The Status page is
displayed. The mobile broadband connection is established successfully if the
Status field in the WWAN connection status section displays Connected.

Step 7: Mount the router
Mount your router in a suitable location using the options listed in the Mounting
options section.
When selecting a location to mount the NTC-140 router, keep in mind that it
features high performance antennas designed to provide optimum signal strength
in a wide range of environments. You can check the signal strength by observing
the colour and number of LEDs illuminated on the front of the device. For a precise
reading of the signal strength, refer to the Status page on the web user interface.
If you find the signal strength is weak, try moving the router to a different place,
mounting it differently or changing the orientation of the antennas.
The signal strength LEDs update within a few seconds with a rolling average signal
strength reading. When selecting a location for the router, please allow up to 20
seconds for the signal strength LEDs to update before repositioning.

Congratulations - your NTC-140 router is now ready to use!

Configuring multiple devices
To apply your advanced configuration settings to more than one NTC-140 router,
follow these simple steps.
Step 1
Back up your router’s configuration
Log in to the web configuration interface, click on the System menu, select
System configuration and click on Settings backup and restore.
| Industrial IoT
If you want to password protect your backup configuration files, enter your
password in the fields under Save a copy of current settings and click on Save.
If you don’t want to password protect your files, just click on Save. The router will
then prompt you to select a location to save the settings file.

Regulatory information
NTC-140-01
FCC regulations
Federal Communications Commission Notice (United States): Before a wireless
device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to
the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
| Industrial IoT
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
18
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorientate or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
NTC-140 - 4G M2M Router
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
RF Exposure
Your device contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is on, it receives and
transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your device, the system
handling your connection controls the power level at which your device transmits.
• This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
• This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government.
• This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the
device must be used with a minimum of 24cm separation from the body. Failure to
observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant
guideline limits.
Any external antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a
separation distance of at least 24cm from all persons and must not be co-located
or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Please consult
the health and safety guide of the chosen antenna for specific body separation
guidelines as a greater distance of separation may be required for high-gain
antennas.
Any external antenna gain must meet RF exposure and maximum radiated output
power limits of the applicable rule section. The maximum antenna gain for this
device as reported to the FCC is:
