Connecting kiBox2A

Internet

Kibox2A has two SIM card slots. If you wish to connect to the internet via a mobile network, you will need to use at least one of these card slots. Kibox2A has a dual SIM option to ensure internet connection in case one of the cards fails and blocks the internet connection.

NOTE: the antennas must be connected to the device to ensure correct operation.

Optionally, a RJ45 cable can be connected between the kiBox2A and a switch/router to receive a wired internet connection. In this case, one end of the cable will connect to the router/switch and the other end will enter through the WAN tab.

Controls

To connect one or more controls to our kibox2A, we can use either the Modbus port or the LAN ports to use the TCP/IP protocol.

To make the connection using the Modbus protocol, we will do it through the RS-485 port. Connect your device through a 2-wire shielded cable, connecting the shield to the GND pin (3). More information about Modbus connection and wiring can be found in ModbusRTU-RS485.
