| Industrial IoTNTC-140 - 4G M2M Router Step 4: Access the routers web interface In your web browsers address bar enter http://192.168.1.1/ or http://my.router/. The login page is displayed. There are two system management accounts (Root Manager and Admin) with different management capabilities. Root Manager account Grants full privileges such as firmware upgrades, device configuration, backup and restore, and reset to factory default settings. To access the Root Manager account, use these login details. http://192.168.1.1 or http://my.router Username Password root admin Admin account Allows updates to general settings. To access the Admin account, use these login details. http://192.168.1.1 or http://my.router Username Password admin admin Enter the username and password for the admin or root manager account and click Log in. The Status page is displayed. 10

| Industrial IoT 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. 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

| Industrial IoTNTC-140 - 4G M2M Router 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 button. The Data connection profile settings screen is displayed. 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. 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. 12

| Industrial IoT 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!

| Industrial IoTNTC-140 - 4G M2M Router 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

(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 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. 18

| Industrial IoT 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 users 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 governments 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. External antenna (transmitters equipped with detachable antennas) 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:
