7. FIRST USE
7.1
Starting the Router
Connect power to the router. In the default setting the router will start to login automatically
to the preset APN. The Ethernet port DHCP server will assign device addresses. The behavior
of the router can be modified by means of the Web, Telnet or SSH interface, as described in
the
Configuration manual
.
The power consumption in receive mode is 2.3 W (LTE models) or 2.6 W (3G models). The
peak power consumption during data transmission is 5.5 W. For correct operation the power
source must be able to supply a peak current of 1A.
7.2
Configuring the Router
Attention!
The cellular carrier and network must be configured in the router prior to use.
For UMTS and LTE networks, the router will not operate without a SIM card. The SIM card
must be provisioned for the necessary network (LTE/HSPA+/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS). For 3G
CDMA networks, the router is provisioned over-the-air. Refer to the Configuration manual for
details on configuring the router based on the cellular carrier and network.
If the router cannot establish a connection to the cellular network, it tries to reconnect. The
retry interval prolongs with more retries. First two retries are done after 1 minute. Then the
interval prolongs to 2, 8 and 15 minutes. The ninth and every other retry is done in 90 minutes
interval.
Configuration over Web browser
Monitoring of the status, configuration and administration of the router can be done via the
Web interface. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1. The username is "root".
The password is "root".
