5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Network Connectivity
The RUTM50 supports various connectivity options:
- 5G/4G LTE: Once SIM cards are installed and antennas connected, the router will automatically attempt to establish a cellular connection. Monitor the Mobile Network Type and Signal Strength LEDs.
- Ethernet WAN: The dedicated WAN port can be connected to an existing wired network for primary or backup internet access.
- Wi-Fi: The router broadcasts a Wi-Fi network for wireless client devices.
5.2 Automated Failover
The router features automated failover between Ethernet, Cellular (Dual SIM), and Wi-Fi connections to ensure continuous internet access.
Figure 5.1: The RUTM50 router automatically switches between available internet sources (5G SIMs, Wi-Fi, Wired WAN) to maintain an uninterrupted connection.
You can configure the priority of these connections in the router's web interface. If the primary connection fails, the router will automatically switch to the next available and configured backup connection.
5.3 GPS and GNSS Functionality
The built-in GPS and GNSS (Galileo, Glonass, QZSS, and Beidou) capabilities allow for real-time location tracking of remote assets. Ensure the GNSS antenna is properly connected for optimal performance.
