ROUTER Configuration 

The router is provided with an operating configuration. Should you need to change the parameters, proceed 
as follows: 

 

activation of a flat contract with a traffic threshold greater or equal to 500Mb monthly and suppression 
/ bandwidth limitation if the threshold upper limit is exceeded 

 

insert the SIM ensuring that it is PIN free 

 

connect the router to the power supply 

 

user a crossover cable to connect the router to the LAN port of a PC 

 

connect the antenna to the “GSM MAIN” output

 

 

type in the following address in your browser: http://192.168.1.1

 

 

You will be prompted to enter your access data: 

o

 

Username: admin 

o

 

Password: admin01 

Upon accessing for the first time, a configuration wizard will help you to quickly set the basic information to 
ensure router operation. Check the connection status to ensure the presence of a signal. From the menu at the 
top, press Status followed by Network Information. A window will appear, as shown in Figure 59. 

 

Figure 59 - Network Information 

For an acceptable Internet connection which allows internet browsing, you need to have at least two green 
bars on the Signal Strength line. If not, connect the second antenna provided with the router to the GSM AUX 
output. A strong enough signal allows for Internet connection. Having a signal with the above requirements 
provides  an  internet  connection  suitable  to  the  service  to  provide,  the  absence  of  an  IP  address  in  the  IP 
Address line involves failure to network connection. 

The Network section includes the sections in the initial wizard together with other functions. The following 
screen refers solely to the 3G area. Figure 60 shows the 3G CONFIGURATION submenu to enter the APN. For 
each service provider is associated an APN.
