### Setup  


1. Attach GSM Antenna to Connector \[1\] on the router’s rear panel.   
    Note: when lacking imprints, usually the GSM Antenna is the »thicker« one.
2. Attach Wi-Fi Antenna to Connector \[2\] on the router’s rear panel.  
    Note: by default, the preconfigured routers come with Wi-Fi deactivated, when not ordered with an alternative configuration, attaching the Wi-Fi Antenna is not required.

3. Connect the Raindancer Beacon(s) via Ethernet cable to one of the ports \[2\], \[3\] or \[4\] on the router’s front panel.  
    Note: Do not connect the Beacon(s) to the WAN Ethernet Port \[5\]!
4. Connect the power Adapter to the rocket on the  
    router’s front panel \[1\].  
    **Pay attention to polarity**, when connecting to an alternative power source   
    (9W/9VDC min, 12V rec., 18V/30V max, depending on router model type)!
