First Use
Before applying power to the router, connect the components that you required for your
applications. You cannot operate the router without a connected antenna, inserted SIM card,
nor a connected power supply.
If you do not have connected the main antenna during operation of the router, the router
can be damaged!
1. Antenna
Use an SMA connector to connect the antennas to the router. The main antenna is con-
nected to the router by screwing on the ANT connector (see the figure below). A second
diversity antenna can also be connected to the DIV connector to improve performance.
2. SIM card
The SIM card readers, for 3 V and 1.8 V SIM cards, are located on the rear panel of the
router. If you intend to use this device to communicate over a cellular network, please place
an activated data-provisioned SIM card with an unblocked PIN into the SIM card reader. Push
your SIM card into the SIM1 or SIM2 slot until it clicks in place.

Before handling the SIM card disconnect the router from the power supply!
3. Power
The router requires an external DC power supply. The DC voltage required is between
+9 to +36 V DC. The router has built-in protection against reverse polarity without signaling.
Connect the power supply cable to the PWR connector on the front panel of the router (see
the figure below).

entering the IP address of the router into the web interface. The default router IP address is
192.168.1.1 (netmask 255.255.255.0). Configuration access is allowed for the user "root". The
default password is printed on the router’s label.1Attention, it is necessary to use HTTPS
protocol for secure communication over a network! For a detailed description and exam-
ples of the router configurations, see the Configuration manual.

When the PWR LED starts blinking, it is possible to restore the default configuration of the
router by pressing the RST button on the rear panel. After pressing this button, the default
configuration is restored and then the router reboots (green LED will be on).
Important Notes
After logging on to the device for the first time, we strongly recommend changing the
default password due to security reasons. Simultaneously, you will gain access to all
functions of the router.
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.
