• The IM4200-X-G model has an internally integrated quad band 3G GSM modem (+ external antenna) which will work with major 3G GSM carriers globally - outside USA

• The IM4200-X-G-USA model comes with an internally integrated quad band 3G GSM modem (+ external antenna) which will work with AT&T and other major GSM carriers in USA. The IM4200-X-GV-USA model comes with an internally integrated 3G CDMA modem (+ external antenna) which will work with Verizon in USA. Similarly the IM4200-X-GS-USA model comes with an internally integrated 3G CDMA modem (+ external antenna) which will work with Sprint in USA.

Installing and configuring the IM4200-X-G/GV/GS

The IM4200-X-G console server is supplied with:

• an internal 3G-GSM HSUPA/UMTS cellular modem with dual SMA antenna connectors (which can be used for either receive diversity or GPS)
• an internal 16GB flash memory
• an additional USB2.0 port at the rear
• a USB adapter cable, and
• an external antenna with 10 foot low loss coaxial interconnecting cable and magnetic base

The IMX42xx-G Quick Start Addendum.pdf Quick Start Guide walks you through installing and configuring the cellular capabilities in these console servers. 

Note: If cellular signal strength is an issue, an additional diversity antenna is available (as are GPS antennas). Also higher gain and directional antennas can be sourced. Refer faq 385-3G-Antenna. 

 
 

Note: If cellular signal strength is an issue, higher gain and directional third party antennas can be sourced. Refer faq 385-3G-Antenna. However these antennas and cables may use larger SMA connectors rather than TS9 which is the tiny connector on the modem, and you may need to purchase a TS9 to SMA pigtail adapter e.g. www.wifi-link.com/product.php?action=product&class1_id=11&class2_id=766&class3_id=767&product_id=2143.
