3 Services and Applications
3.1 Data Services
The B535-333 can access the Internet through mobile networks and Ethernet networks. By connecting to the B535-333 using Wi-Fi or a network cable, users can obtain access to high-speed Internet services and establish a local area network (LAN).
3.1.1 Accessing the Internet through a Mobile Network
The B535-333 can access the Internet through mobile networks.
Diagram description: Diagram showing LTE/UMTS connection to the B535-333 CPE, which then connects to devices like laptops and smartphones via Wi-Fi and Ethernet.
3.1.2 Accessing the Internet through an Ethernet Network
The B535-333's LAN/WAN port can be connected to a wall-mounted Ethernet port using a network cable.
Diagram description: Diagram showing an Ethernet cable connecting a wall-mounted Ethernet port to the LAN/WAN port of the B535-333 CPE, which then connects to a computer.
3.2 Voice Services
The B535-333 provides one telephone port that can be connected to telephones for calling.
3.3 SMS
The B535-333 supports message writing/sending/receiving and group sending (up to 50 contacts at a time).
3.4 Security Service
The B535-333 supports comprehensive and robust security services. It provides a firewall function and PIN protection mechanisms. These features allow users to connect their computers to the Internet and simultaneously protect their computers against security threats from the Internet.
3.4.1 Firewall Service
The B535-333 supports the enabling or disabling of a firewall on the network connection, which protects the device and network from attacks by hackers on the Internet and controls access to the Internet.
3.4.2 MAC Filtering
The B535-333 supports configuration of the Media Access Control (MAC) address to restrict network access.
3.4.3 Wi-Fi Authentication
The gateway supports the following user authentication protocols for Wi-Fi:
- No encryption.
- WEP, WPA2-PSK (AES), WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES), WPA3-SAE, WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE.
3.5 VPN Function
3.5.1 VPN Client
VPN tunneling involves establishing and maintaining a logical network connection (that may contain intermediate hops). On this connection, packets constructed in a specific VPN protocol format are first encapsulated within some other base or carrier protocol, then transmitted between the VPN client and server, and finally decapsulated on the receiving side.
The B535-333 supports L2TP and PPTP tunneling protocols.
Diagram description: Diagram illustrating VPN tunneling: PC -> LTE VPN Client (B535-333) -> SGW -> PGW -> VPN Server (Internet).
3.5.2 VPN Pass-Through
The B535-333 supports L2TP/PPTP/IPsec VPN pass-through for the LAN side device. The LAN side device can create a VPN tunnel to the VPN server.
3.6 IP Pass-Through
The LTE CPE obtains the WAN IP address and passes it through to the PC (Case 1) or Router (Case 2), and then the PC (Case 1) or Router (Case 2) can directly use the WAP IP address.
3.7 IPv6 Only and IPv4v6 Dual Stack
3.7.1 IPv4v6 Dual Stack
CPE provides dual stack function.
Diagram description: Diagram showing dual stack: IPv4-only device and IPv6-only device connecting to the B535-333 CPE, which routes traffic to IPv4 and IPv6 internet gateways.
3.7.2 IPv6 Only (CLAT)
The LTE CPE supports IPv6 only with the transition solution CLAT for IPv4 device.
Diagram description: Diagram showing IPv6 only with CLAT: IPv4-only device -> LTE CPE (with CLAT) -> Internet IPv4.
NOTE: When the IPv6 only (CLAT) function is enabled, NAT-based functions (like DMZ/Port Forwarding/Port triggering) cannot be used. When an IPv4 device accesses the Internet, the performance is degraded because packets need to be packetized and unpacked. However, IPv6 devices are not affected.
3.8 Multi-APN
The B535-333 supports the establishment and maintenance of three APNs. These three APN connections isolate data, voice, and remote management services on an operator's network.
The B535-333 supports an independent APN for CPE internal/VoIP/TR-069.
Diagram description: Diagram illustrating Multi-APN: Devices connect to the B535-333 CPE, which establishes separate APN connections for Data, VoIP, and TR-069 services to the Internet.
3.9 5GHz Preferred
Priority usage of 5 GHz Wi-Fi band over 2.4 GHz band when signal strength is equal to increase connection speeds.
The product will support two SSIDs when 5 GHz preferred is enabled. The first SSID includes 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and 5GHz Wi-Fi, which provides 5 GHz preferred capabilities. The second SSID ending with '_5G' is an independent 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Customers can choose according to their needs.
The product also supports two SSIDs when 5 GHz preferred is disabled. The first SSID is only 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, the second SSID is 5 GHz Wi-Fi ending with '_5G'. Customers can choose according to their needs.
3.10 HiLink
- Supports up to 5 HiLink devices to connect to B535-333 through the H button to create an expanded network.
- Supports quick connection between a HiLink device (such as Honor set-up boxes and Honor handsets running on EMUI 5.0 and later) and B535-333 through the H button.
3.11 Customer management
3.11.1 WebUI
The B535-333 supports local configuration through the Web UI. You can perform device management and network configuration to ensure normal and stable performance.
3.11.2 HUAWEI AI Life APP
Scan the QR code (can be found in the Quick Start Guide, giftbox and Web UI) to download the HUAWEI AI Life APP and configure the router from your phone.
3.12 Operator maintenance
The B535-333 supports Operator maintenance through the TR-069. Operator remote manages the CPE software update/parameters configuration via TR-069.
Diagram description: Diagram showing operator maintenance: CPE connects to an Auto-Configuration Server (ACS) via the Internet for remote management.
3.13 HOTA
The B535-333 supports the HOTA feature, which allows users to remotely update the device firmware through the HOTA server.
4 System Structure and Scenario Constraints
4.1 System Architecture
Diagram description: Diagram illustrating the system architecture, showing Internet connectivity via LTE/Ethernet, DHCP/DNS, IP routing/NAT, Web management, AP function, LAN access, and Voice function, connecting to devices like laptops, computers, and telephones.
The following describes the modules shown in the system architecture diagram:
- LTE access function: The B535-333 adopts the LTE access technology at the WAN side.
- LAN access function: One 10/100/1000 Mbps high-speed Ethernet ports are provided at the LAN side. The B535-333 provides the switching function for local networking and sharing of the broadband network when it is connected to terminal devices.
- AP function: An 802.11b/g/n/a/ac -compliant Wi-Fi AP interface is provided for wireless networking at home. The interface is compliant with the IEEE 802.11b/g/n/a/ac standard and the WEP, WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA3-SAE, WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE security authentication mechanisms.
- DHCP/DNS: The DHCP server dynamically allocates IP addresses to PCs.
- Web-based management: You can configure the B535-333 and modify and view the configuration of the B535-333.
- IP routing protocol and NAT: The B535-333 has high-speed routing capability. With the built-in NAT, the B535-333, together with LTE terminals, can provide flexible broadband access solutions and networking schemes.
- Voice function: The B535-333 supports voice services.
4.2 Scenario Constraints
The B535-333 is a household wireless broadband access product designed for use in scenarios with relatively few network access devices and relatively low network reliability requirements, such as homes or small office and home offices (SOHOs).
The B535-333 is not an enterprise-grade product. It cannot be used by medium- or large-sized enterprises or in scenarios with high network reliability requirements, such as banks, securities agencies, traffic control, and communications device backhaul.
The B535-333 has the following constraints:
- When the IP Pass-Through mode is enabled, the HOTA function cannot be used.
- When the L2TP/PPTP VPN client function is enabled, the throughput performance will slow down.
- A maximum of 64 devices can be connected to the Wi-Fi in theory; the actual number of devices that can be connected and served depends on actual conditions.
