3. Getting Started

Unpacking the Arctic

Arctic is delivered in a bulk package containing only the device itself (with possible internal options).

A separate Arctic Accessory Kit (ordered separately) contains the following items:

• Power supply and cable

• Cross-over Ethernet Cable

• Null modem cable.

If any of the items are missing or are damaged, please contact Viola Systems Ltd. All packaging

materials are recyclable. Viola Systems urges its customers to follow environmental regulations

regarding the disposal of all materials.

Installation of the Arctic

The Arctic can be installed horizontally on a flat surface e.g. on a desk or a rack.

When installing Arctic models with wireless connectivity options it should be remembered that high-

frequency radio waves need to be taken into account. The surrounding environment affects the range

of radio signals. Therefore, if you are using an Arctic with antennas directly mounted to the antenna

connector, try to avoid placing the Arctic where the radio signal might be disturbed (“shadowed”) by

nearby obstacles. Also large metallic surfaces (racks) may have a highly detrimental effect on the

antenna performance. In case of metal racks or surfaces it is recommended to use an external

antenna with an appropriately selected cable. By following these precautions the Arctic may be

installed more freely.

The aluminum case of the Arctic contains rails for wall mounting. Both broad sides contain two rails

and the narrow side opposite to the LED panel contains one rail. These rails allow a flexible selection

of the optimum mounting direction. To mount the Arctic on a wall using optionally available mounting

tools can be used.
