SOFTWARE / UNIT OPERATION
CONFIGURING A SITRANS RD500 HSPA+
MODEM OPTION CARD
The RD500 Modem is configured as part of the RD500 system, using a
standard web browser. All modem option cards are configured to US HSPA+
frequency band (850/1900 MHz) by default. During setup of the Cellular
Modem Option card, the appropriate HSPA+ frequency band must be chosen
depending on the geographical location of the SITRANS RD500. Once the
option card is configured, the SITRANS RD500 should be power cycled for
the configuration changes to take effect. Additional information can be found
in your SITRANS RD500 hardware bulletin.
