1.7 Mounting Recommendations
The router can be placed: · on a flat surface, · on a wall using the wall mounting clip (see Chapter 1.8), · on a DIN rail EN 60715 with the metal DIN rail clip (see Chapter 1.9) For most applications with a built-in router within a switchboard, it is possible to recognize
two kinds of environments: · A non-public, industry environment of low voltage with high interference, · a public environment of low voltage and without high interference. For both of these environments, it is possible to mount the router to a switchboard, af-
ter which there is no need to have examination immunity or issues in connection with EMC according to EN 61439-1:2011.
In compliance with the EN 61439-1:2011 specification, it is necessary to observe the following assembly instructions for a router attached to a switchboard:
· For whip antennas it is recommended to observe a minimum distance of 6 cm from cables and metal surfaces on every side in order to avoid interference. When using an external antenna separate from the switchboard it is necessary to fit a lightning conductor.
· When mounting a router on sheet-steel we recommend using a cable antenna. · For all cables, we recommend to bind the bunch, and for this we recommend:
The length of the bunch (the combination of power supply and data cables) should be a maximum 1.5 m. If the length of data cables exceeds 1.5 m or if the cable is leading towards the switchboard, we recommend installing surge protectors.
Data cables must not have a reticular tension of 230 V/50 Hz or 120 V/60 Hz. · Sufficient space must be left between each connector for the handling of cables, · To ensure the correct functioning of the router we recommend the use of an earth-
bonding distribution frame for the grounding of the grounding screew, see Chapter 2.4.

ICR-2431
2.2 Cellular Antennas
Main (ANT) and diversity (DIV) antennas can be connected to the router using the SMA connectors located on the front panel.
Do not run the router without connected cellular antenna connected to the main antenna connectors as the energy from the transmission is effectively reflected by the open end and can damage the equipment.
Recommended tightening moment for screwing the antenna to the SMA connector is 0.9 Nm. The diversity antenna improves the radio capability of the router at low signal strength.
2.3 Ethernet Interfaces
The panel socket of RJ45 is used for Ethernet interface. The pinout of the socket is shown in Figure 6 and described in Table 2.

3. First Use
3.1 Powering up the Router
The router will start up when a power supply is connected to it. By default, the router will automatically log on to the default APN of the inserted SIM card. The DHCP server will assign an addresses to the devices connected through the Ethernet port ETH0.
3.2 Router Configuration
Initial router configuration can be made via a web browser running on your PC. Here you can perform router monitoring, configuration, and administration. First, connect the PC to the default LAN interface as described in the Start Guide application note [1]. To get the router interface, enter the https://192.168.1.1 address in a web browser. Please note that usage of the HTTPS protocol for secure communication over the network is required.
By default, there is just the root user account created on the router. See the product label on the router for its default password. Log in to the web interface by the root user and his password. If logged in successfully, the user will have access to the router web interface, see Figure 13. See the configuration manual [2] of the router for a detailed description and examples of the router configuration.
After logging on to the device for the first time, we strongly recommend changing the default password due to security reasons.
For security reasons, it is highly recommended to update the firmware of the router to the latest version regularly. Downgrading the firmware to an older version than the production version or uploading a firmware intended for a different device may cause the malfunction of the device.
All routers have the WebAccess/DMP client pre-installed by default. The activated client periodically uploads router identificators, its configuration, and cellular network statistics to the WebAccess/DMP server. See the configuration manual [2], chapter Basic Information -> WebAccess/DMP Configuration, for more information.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting
If you cannot connect to the router from your PC, your network card may be configured in such a way that it is not possible to connect to the router. Take one or more of the following steps in order to solve the problem:
· Make sure your PC's network card is configured to obtain the IP address form the DHCP server (by default the DHCP server is running in the router).
· Set the communication rate to 10 MB/s in the properties of your network card. · Connect the router to the PC via Switch. · Connect the router to the PC, start the router first and then start the PC after the
router's initialization.
The router reboots itself and the Ethernet connection fails.
· The router will not work well without an antenna. Keep the antenna as far as possible from the power supply.
Ethernet connection fails or is not establishing.
· It is possible to turn auto negotiation off and set a rate and duplex manually on the Ethernet interface of the router. Available on "LAN Configuration" page in the router.
Mobile WAN connection fails.
· Check the signal power ("Mobile WAN status" page). If the signal power is weak, you will have to use a better antenna. If the neighbouring cells have a similar signal strength, you will need to use a directional antenna. For proper operation, the signal levels have to be good.
· Try to enable automatic ping from the router, which will check the connection when there are no data running and in the case of a failed ping, restart the connection. This can be done on the "Mobile WAN Configuration" page in the router in the "Check connection" section. "Enable + bind" option is to ensure the ping goes always through Mobile WAN network interface.
Mobile WAN connection cannot be established.
· Check the "Mobile WAN Configuration" APN, name, password and IP address (all can be blank).
· Try to enter the SIM card PIN verify that the SIM card has the PIN code entered. Available on "Unlock SIM Card" page in the "Administration" section.
· In a private APN it is not recommended to get the DNS settings from operator (on "Mobile WAN" page)
28
ICR-2431
· Go to "System Log" page in "Status" section and observe where the error occurs.
I cannot connect from the Internet to the device behind the router. I have NAT
enabled. · The device's gateway has to be configured so it points to the router.
I can't access my Web server placed behind the router over NAT.
· The remote HTTP access to the router has to be disabled on "NAT Configuration" page in the router. Also enable "Send all remaining incoming packets to default server" feature and fill in the IP address of your Web server. On the Web server, the default gateway has to be the IP address of the router.
DynDNS doesn't work.
· With private APN this will not work. · If the same IP address is recorded in your canonic name as a dynamically assigned
address, it means that the operator is using NAT or a firewall. · You can verify NAT using ping to your server with static address and then compare
with router's IP address. · You can verify a Firewall by accessing remotely to the router's Web interface. · The operator may not provide the address of DNS server and without DNS server's
address it is impossible to connect to the dyndns.org server. The following messages will be shown in the System Log:
DynDNS daemon started Error resolving hostname: no such file or directory Connect to DynDNS server failed
L2TP or IPSec isn't establishing.
· Check the "System Log" page for error messages.
IPSec tunnel establishes but the communication does not run.
· Probably there are bad routing rules defined in the connected devices, or the default gateway.
I switched the router to offline mode by SMS message, but the router is in online
mode after reboot. · SMS messages do not change the router configuration. They remain in effect only until the router is rebooted.
29
ICR-2431
Serial communication is not working.
· Verify that the router model supports serial communications. Also verify the serial communication settings. To do so, open the router's configuration menu via the web browser, select the appropriate "Expansion Port" from "Configuration" part of the menu and verify the settings.
Is the router Cisco compatible? Can I use the Cisco configuration?
· No, the Firmware in the router (Conel OS) is based on Linux with BusyBox. Thus the Cisco configuration cannot be used. But network connections are defined by standards so connecting the router to the Cisco or other networking devices is possible and will be compatible.
FTP or SFTP does not work
· FTP will work on v2 routers only. You can use SFTP on all routers to transfer files to/from the router. If having troubles with FTP on v2 routers, make sure you have FTP enabled: "Configuration" section, "Services", "FTP". Then you can connect with any client on port 21 with name and password same as for the Web interface. If having troubles with SFTP, make sure you have SSH enabled: "Configuration" section, "Services", "SSH". Then you can connect with any client on port 22 with name and password same as for the Web interface.
How can I connect to the router's command line? (SSH, Telnet)
· You can use SSH on all routers or Telnet on v2 routers only. SSH is enabled by default, but you can verify in Web interface in "Configuration" section, "Services", "SSH". Then connect with any SSH client on port 22 of the router. User and password is the same as for the Web interface. Telnet on v2 routers can be enabled here: "Configuration" section, "Services", "Telnet".
