HUBBOX Connect X2 4G/LTE Installation and Connection Guide

Please follow the connection diagram and technical steps below to correctly complete the installation of your HUBBOX Connect X2 4G/LTE device.

1. Device Interface and Connector Structure

The hardware interface consists of the following components:

• Antenna Inputs (SMA): Two SMA inputs on the far left for Wi-Fi and 4G/LTE antennas.
• USB Port: For external device integration or configuration.
• Ethernet Ports:
  • LAN: Dedicated for local network/machine connection.
  • WAN/LAN: Internet input or second local network port.
• Video Output: Micro HDMI port for monitor access.
• Micro SD Slot: Located at the back (DIN Rail section). Supports up to 256GB.
• SIM Card Slot: Located at the back (DIN Rail section). Designed for a Nano SIM card.

2. Power and I/O Connections

The terminal connections on the right side must be wired as follows:

• Pin 8 (DO): Digital Output.
• Pin 7 (DI): Digital Input.
• Pin 6 (GND): Ground/Chassis connection (-).
• Pin 5 (24VDC+): Positive power input (+).

3. Status LED Indicators

Real-time system monitoring via four multi-colored LEDs:

• Green (DI / DO): Digital Input and Output activity.
• Red (Status): System status and Wi-Fi connection activity.
• Blue (Internet): Successful cloud/internet access.
• Orange (4G/LTE): Cellular connection status (Simcom module).

4. 4G/LTE Specific Installation Instructions

SIM and SD Card Installation

• Location: The combo slot is in the internal compartment at the back, behind the DIN Rail bracket.
• Nano SIM: Ensure power is OFF before insertion. Follow the orientation guide on the PCB.
• SD Card: Use high-quality Micro SD cards for reliable log recording.

Antenna & Signal Optimization

• Connection: Mount the high-gain LTE antenna to the designated SMA input.
• Metal Cabinets: If the device is inside a metal enclosure (Faraday cage), you must use an external wired magnetic antenna moved outside the cabinet.
• Tightening: SMA connectors should be hand-tightened firmly. Loose connections cause signal loss and module overheating.

Status Verification (Orange LED)

• Flashing: Searching for network or validating SIM.
• Steady ON: 4G/LTE connection established and ready for data traffic.

6. Final Installation Steps

1. Power: Connect 24V DC to Pin 5(+) and Pin 6(-).
2. 4G/LTE Setup: Insert SIM card. Access the Local Panel > Mobile Settings to enter APN and PIN.
3. Wi-Fi Access: To use the factory "hbbx" profile, set your router SSID to hbbx and password to the device Serial Number.
4. Verification: A steady Blue LED confirms the device is online and reachable.
