3. Setup
3.1. SIM Card Installation
- Ensure the router is powered off.
- Locate the SIM card slots (SIM1, SIM2) on the router panel (refer to Image 2.1.2).
- Insert your activated 5G/4G SIM card(s) into the designated slots until they click into place.
- Ensure the SIM cards are correctly oriented according to the diagram near the slots.
3.2. Antenna Installation
- Mounting the 7-in-1 Antenna: Choose an outdoor location, preferably on a roof, that provides a clear line of sight to cellular towers and GPS satellites. Securely mount the antenna using the screw mount mechanism. The antenna is IP67 waterproof for outdoor reliability.
- Connecting Antenna Cables to Router: Connect the 4x 5G LTE MIMO cables, 2x Wi-Fi cables, and 1x GNSS cable from the 7-in-1 antenna to the corresponding SMA Male connectors on the RUTM50 router. Refer to Image 2.1.2 and Image 2.2.2 for connector identification.
- Ensure all connections are finger-tight to prevent signal loss.

3.3. Power Connection
- Connect the power adapter to the 9-50V DC Power Input Ground Port on the router (refer to Image 2.1.2).
- Plug the power adapter into a suitable power outlet. The PWR LED on the router should illuminate, indicating power is supplied.
3.4. Ethernet Connection
For wired network access, connect your devices (e.g., computers, switches) to the LAN ports (LAN1-LAN4) on the router using standard Ethernet cables. The WAN port can also be configured as a LAN port if needed.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Initial Configuration
Upon powering on, the router will boot up. Access the router's web interface via a connected computer using a web browser. The default IP address and login credentials can typically be found on a label on the router or in the quick start guide. Follow the on-screen prompts to configure your network settings, including cellular (APN settings), Wi-Fi, and security protocols (WPA2, WPA3). The router operates on LINOVISION Proprietary OS.
4.2. 5G/4G Cellular Connectivity
The RUTM50 supports SA and NSA 5G modules, offering ultra-high speeds up to 3.4Gbps (DL) and 550Mbps (UL). It is backward compatible with 4G networks (up to 1.6Gbps DL/200Mbps UL). Once SIM cards are installed and configured, the router will automatically connect to the available cellular network. Monitor the Mobile Network Type LEDs and Mobile Signal Strength indication LEDs on the router for status (refer to Image 2.1.2).

4.3. Wi-Fi Network Setup
The router supports dual-band Wi-Fi. Configure your Wi-Fi network (SSID, password, security type) through the web interface. Ensure your Wi-Fi antennas are properly connected for optimal wireless performance.
4.4. Automated Failover
The RUTM50 supports automated failover, ensuring an uninterrupted connection by switching between available internet sources (5G SIM 1, 5G SIM 2, Wi-Fi, Wired WAN) if one connection fails. This feature enhances network reliability.

5. Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Keep the router and antenna free from dust and debris. For the outdoor antenna, periodically check for any obstructions or damage.
- Firmware Updates: Regularly check the LINOVISION website or the router's web interface for available firmware updates. Keeping the firmware updated ensures optimal performance, security, and access to new features.
- Environmental Conditions: Ensure the router is operated within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. The outdoor antenna is designed for harsh conditions (IP67 waterproof, wide temperature range).
6. Troubleshooting
- No Power: Check the power adapter connection and the power outlet. Ensure the PWR LED is illuminated.
- No Cellular Signal: Verify SIM card installation and activation. Check antenna connections. Ensure the antenna has a clear line of sight. Check Mobile Signal Strength LEDs.
- No Internet Access: Confirm cellular connectivity. Check APN settings in the router's web interface. Verify Ethernet cable connections for wired devices. For Wi-Fi, check SSID and password.
- Slow Speeds: Check signal strength. Ensure the antenna is optimally positioned. Consider network congestion in your area.
- Cannot Access Web Interface: Ensure your device is connected to the router (via Ethernet or Wi-Fi). Verify the router's IP address and your device's network settings. Try restarting the router.
