Grounding the Device

Grounding will help to prevent the noise effect due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Connect the device to the site ground wire by the grounding screw before powering on. [Grounding Diagram]

Power Supply Installation

Following the color of the head, connect the cable marked red to the positive pole through a terminal block, and connect the yellow one to the negative in the same way. The last step is to plug the power adapter into your socket. Note: The range of power voltage is 9 to 60V DC. [Power Cable Connection Diagram]

Login to the Device

Connect the router's Ethernet port to a PC with a standard Ethernet cable.
Before logging in, manually configure the PC with a static IP address on the same subnet as the gateway address, click and configure "Use the following IP address". [IP Configuration Screenshot]
To enter the gateway's web interface, type http://192.168.0.1 into the URL field of your Internet browser.
Use login information shown in the product label when prompted for authentication.
After logging in, the home page of the web interface is displayed, then you can view system information and perform configuration on the device. [Web Interface Screenshot]
The automatic APN selection is ON by default. If you need to specify your own APN, please go to the menu Interface->Link Manager->Link Setting->WWAN Settings to finish the specific setting.
For more configuration details, please refer to RT123_SM_RobustOS Software Manual. (END)
