To access and control the uSee unit, connect using a web browser on an external device, such as a laptop or tablet PC. You can connect either via: - a direct wired Ethernet network connection or - a wireless LAN connection (802.11b/g) 4.1: Connecting to a direct wired Ethernet network (optional) 1. Plug the Ethernet cable from the local computer network in to ‘LAN Port 2’ on the uSee unit. 2. Push the cable into the rubber grommet as it exits the enclosure. 3. Leave sufficient clearance around the uSee unit to give enough space to ensure the cables are not crushed or bent in a manner that may affect their performance.

4.2: Connecting the external antenna for wireless networking (recommended) 1. Screw the external antenna cable in to the socket of the uSee unit 2. Push the cable into the rubber grommet as it exits the enclosure 3. Screw the antenna into the base. The base is magnetic for secure mounting on ferrous materials 4. Leave sufficient clearance around the uSee unit to give enough space to ensure the antenna cable is not crushed or bent in a manner that may affect performance. Siting the antenna: recommendations These recommendations will help in optimizing the performance and reliability of the wireless connection: 1. Set up your router as close as possible to the centre of the area you want to provide wireless networking for. 2. Keep the antenna away from objects that cause wireless interference. Large metal objects, fluorescent or halogen lights, microwaves, cordless phones and their base stations, and wall ducting or vents can block or interfere with wireless signals. 3. Place the antenna in an elevated location. 4. Point the top of the antenna upwards if it is positioned below the coverage area. Point the top of the antenna down if it is positioned above the coverage area, e.g., if it is wall-mounted near the ceiling. Wireless antenna connector, RP-SMA Rubber grommet
