3. First Use
3.1
Accessories Connection
Before putting the router into operation, it is necessary to connect all the components
required to run your applications; see Chapter
for the hardware overview. Remember to
insert a SIM card for the cellular connection; see Chapter
Do not run the router without antenna connected to the main antenna connector as the
energy from the transmission is effectively reflected by the open end and can damage
the equipment.
3.2
Router Configuration
Initial router configuration can be made via a web browser on your PC. Here you can
perform router monitoring, configuration, and administration.
Connect the power supply to the router, see Chapter
, and the router will boot up.
By default, the router will automatically log on to the default APN of the inserted SIM card.
Configure your PC to get the IP settings automatically from the network. Connect the network
card of your PC to the default router LAN interface, Ethernet port ETH0, and the DHCP server
will assign an IP address to your PC.
To get the router web interface, enter the
address in a web browser.
Please note that usage of the HTTPS protocol for secure communication over the network is
required.
There is just the
root
user account
created on the router by default. See the
product
label
on the router for its
default password
. Log in to the web interface with the
root
user and his password. If logged in successfully, the user will have access to the router web
interface, see Figure
. See the router configuration manual
for a detailed description and
examples of the router configuration.
After logging on to the device for the first time, we strongly recommend changing the
default password due to security reasons.
For security reasons, we recommend regularly updating the router’s firmware to the latest
version. Downgrading the firmware to an older version than the production version or
uploading firmware intended for a different device may cause the device’s malfunction.
All routers have the
WebAccess/DMP
client pre-installed by default. The activated client
periodically uploads router identifiers and configuration to the
WebAccess/DMP
server.
See the configuration manual
, chapter
Basic Information -> WebAccess/DMP Config-
uration
, for more information.
