7 First Use
7.1 Connecting the Router Before First Use
Before putting the router into operation it is necessary to connect all of the components that
are required to run your applications. Don’t forget to insert a SIM card.
The router can not operate without a connected antenna, SIM card and power supply. If
the antenna is not connected, the router may be damaged.
Be very careful when tightening the antenna. If you over tighten the antenna, then you can
twist the antenna connector off of the circuit board.
7.2 Start
The router will start when a power supply is connected to the router. By default, the router will
automatically start to log on to the default APN. The DHCP server will start to assign addresses
for devices connected through the Ethernet port ETH0. Router’s behavior can be changed via
the web interface. This is described in detail in the
"Configuration OWL 4G Family"
user manual
that you can download at:

7.3 Configuration
If no SIM card is inserted in the router, it is not possible for the router to operate. Any
inserted SIM card must have active data transmission.
7.3.1 Configuration using a Web Browser
For status monitoring, configuration and administration of the router a web interface is avail-
able which can be accessed by entering the IP address of the router into the web browser. The
default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0.
Use the HTTPS protocol to help maintain secure communication.
