The NetCom device is powered by a single 9-30V power supply. It 
requires 200 mA up to 1500 mA of current, depending on the device 
type and voltage supplied. A suitable power supply adapter is part of 
the packaging. Connect the cable to the power jack at the rear side of 
NetCom, and put the adapter into the socket. For the 19” devices of 
course just plug the power cord into the socket. 
The Power LED on NetCom (red) will light. 

 

You can connect a power supply of your choice, providing the technical 
requirements are met. 

The NetCom may use WLAN or Ethernet at customers choice. By 
factory settings both interfaces are enabled, and the priority is set for 
Ethernet (via cable). If no cable is connected here, the Wireless 
interface is active. Both interfaces use the same MAC Address, to allow 
for seamless failover from cable to wireless operation. 

The connector used for the WLAN Antenna is known as SMA-Reverse. 
This is a standard type to allow for simple connection of different 
equipment. Just fit the supplied antenna by carefully screwing it to the 
connector. You are free to connect a cable and a different antenna of 
your choice, as long as it is designed for WLAN. When the NetCom 
detects an operational WLAN it can connect to, the Blue LED lights. 

The pre-defined operation mode is ad-hoc, which means you do not 
need an Access Point to get access to the NetCom. Any computer with 
WLAN equipment may contact the NetCom. The configuration of the 
NetCom is done with the tools described later. This is the most easy 
way of installation. 
However the Ad-hoc mode is not encrypted by definition. As a result 
any station can read the data transferred to the NetCom. This also 
includes the passwords. Further in case of problems, it is harder to find 
the source of the problems. Therefore the recommended method is to
