The M!DGE router is equipped with two antenna connectors. The ANT connector serves as a main antenna connection, the AUX connector is auxiliary and serves for better communication with BTS (diversity).

The M!DGE router is equipped with two MicroSIM (3FF) cards slots which are placed under a SIM card cover. Use PH0 screw driver for its opening. If using only one SIM card, use holder one.
The SIM card holder has a locking mechanism – for opening pull the front part of the holder down and then you can open it. After inserting of SIM card (cropped edge left, connectors down), close the holder and lock it.

|---|---|
Power off the router before inserting the SIM card. |

Tab. 4.5: Screw terminal pin assignment
| pin | pin description | signal |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 12-24 VDC + | Power input plus: 12–24 VDC (−20% +20 %) = 9.6–28.8 VDC |
| 2 | 12-24 VDC – |
Power input minus – internally connected with casing |
| 3 | RS232 GND | RS-232 GND (non-isolated) |
| 4 | RS232 RxD | RS-232 RxD (non-isolated), received data |
| 5 | RS232 TxD | RS-232 TxD (non-isolated), transmitted data |
| 6 | DI – | Digital input – Negative signal input (isolated to GND) |
| 7 | DI + | Digital input – Positive signal input (isolated to GND) |
| 8 | DO NO | Digital Output isolated, Relay contact normally open |
| 9 | DO COM | Digital Output isolated, Relay common |
| 10 | DO NC | Digital Output isolated, Relay contact normally closed |
Polarity Reversal protection circuit (PTC fuse) used on pin 1 and pin 2, but the reverse polarity with soft power supply could cause damage after a few minutes of wrong polarity attached.
Pins 2 and 3 Pins are internally connected.
RS232: behaves as a DTE device.
Pin 5 voltage -5.4 V (without a
connected device ) from HW version 1.5. In earlier HW versions was 0 V.
Pins 6 and 7 are galvanically isolated (1.5 kVAC). If voltage between the + and – pins is bigger than 60 VDC, the input circuit could be damaged. Reversed polarity will not harm the circuit.
Tab. 4.6: Digital input levels
| logical level 0 | 0 to 3 VDC |
| logical level 1 | 9 to 32 VDC |
| Note: Negative input voltage is not recognised. | |
Tab. 4.7: Digital output parameters
| Maximal continuous current | 1 A |
| Maximal switching voltage | 32 VDC |
| Maximal switching capacity | 32 W |
The Reset button is placed close to the USB connector. Use a blunt tool no more than 1 mm in diameter (e.g. a paper clip) to press the button.
The reset button has two functions:
Reboot the system
Press at least 3 seconds to release a system reboot.
The reboot is indicated with the red blinking STAT LED.
Factory reset
Press at least 10 seconds to release a factory reset.
The start of the factory reset is confirmed by all LEDs lighting up GREEN for a second.
Recovery procedure
Press at least 15 seconds to release a recovery procedure.
The start of the recovery procedure is confirmed by all LEDs lighting up RED for a second.

|---|---|
Contact our technical support (support@racom.eu) for recovery procedure details and required files. |
The following table describes the default M!DGE status indicators.
Tab. 4.8: M!DGE interfaces and status indicators
| Description | State | Function |
|---|---|---|
| STAT | green blinking | Device busy device is in startup, software or configuration update |
| green on | Device is ready | |
| WAN | off | Hotlink is disabled |
| blinking | Hotlink connection is being established | |
| on | Hotlink connection is up | |
| LAN | green | ETH: enabled as LAN and link status is up |
| off |
No ETH LAN-connection is up | |
| VPN | green on | VPN connection is up |
| green blinking | VPN connection is being established | |
| off | VPN connection down | |
| EXT | on / off / blinking | EXT LED indicates the state of the extension
interfaces. Hint: Cellular (WWAN) signal strength can be indicated (green = excellent, orange = medium, red = weak). |
| SYS |
Shows the overall system state. This could be derived from health
indicators such as: | |
| green on | System operation state: normal | |
| green blinking | System operation state: warning or in a transition | |
| red on | System operation state: emergency, watchdog, failure |
