which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Per FCC requirements the antenna gain including cable loss must not exceed 7.5 dBi in the cellular band, 3 dBi in

the PCS band, 5.5 dBi for LTE Band 4, and 9 dBi in the LTE Band 17 for RF exposure purposes of 2.1091. The

antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all

persons. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other

antenna or transmitter except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter evaluation procedures

There are three connection methods available for first time connection to configure your new Sixnet Series device:

• Autonet (new with version 4.27)

• Ethernet Port(s) with Static IP(s)

• USB Device port

Set Up

Connect a CAT-5 or CAT-6 Ethernet cable between the local PC and the Red Lion RTU or router’s Ethernet port(s).

Note: If the Ethernet port’s green LED is lit, this indicates that the connection is running at 100Mb speed. If

the Ethernet port’s green LED is not lit, this indicates that the connection is running at 10Mb speed. The

yellow LED indicates the “link” status of the connection.

Yellow steady= Link established. Yellow flashing = Data packets are being transferred.

This section outlines the required method to manually install the correct RNDIS driver for your Red Lion device.

This will enable the unit to connect via USB and behave as an Ethernet device.

Power on the Red Lion device and connect to your Windows PC via the USB mini cable.

Observe the Microsoft

Windows behavior to see if the unit is properly detected. An audible sound, as the cable is

connected, should be heard and Microsoft Windows begins searching for the correct USB driver.

Most Windows systems will automatically locate and install a driver. The device would appear in the Windows

Device Manager as seen below:

Right-click on the USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget adapter, and select Update Driver Software.

At this point, you are connected to the Red Lion RTU or router and can configure it to meet your needs.

If the ppp0 or wwan0 interface do not show an IP address, this could indicate that the internal SIM/Module has not

been properly activated. Low or invalid signal strength may also contribute to the issue. Please contact your

service provider to ensure proper activation. You may need to enter provisioning information in the

NetworkingCellularProvisioning screen. Consult Section 2.1 for more information.

For alternative connections to the Red Lion RTU or router, please contact Red Lion Technical Support for additional

documentation.

Note: The SN/RAM 6000 and RAM 9000 series have many modes of operation which can cause the power

consumption and corresponding heat dissipation to vary greatly. This factor, along with others, can

affect the performance and longevity of the unit. The SN/RAM 6000 series and RAM 9000 series are

rated for operation from -40° to 75°C in typical applications where the cellular communication is

moderate. Please see the respective hardware guides for more details.
