Start Guide
First Use
Before applying power to the router, connect all the components you need for your appli-
cations.
Do not run the router without an antenna connected to the main antenna connector. The
energy from the transmission is effectively reflected by the open end and can damage
the equipment.
XR5i v2 routers are not equipped with a cellular module, which means that SIM card
readers and antenna connectors are not available on the router.
1. Antenna
Use an SMA connector to connect the antennas to the router; see the figure below. First,
connect the main antenna to the ANT connector. Next, connect the second diversity antenna
to the DIV connector to improve the quality and reliability of a wireless link.

2. SIM Card
The SIM card reader for one or two Mini SIM cards (2FF with size of 25.0 x 15.0 x 0.76 mm)
is located on the router’s front panel. The full version of the router contains two readers. If you
intend to use this device to communicate over a cellular network, please place an activated
data-provisioned SIM card into the SIM card reader. Insert your SIM card into the SIM1 or
SIM2 holder and push it to the reader, see the figure below. You can install two SIM cards
simultaneously to utilize the SIM card switching feature.
Disconnect the router from the power supply before handling the SIM card!
3. Power
The router requires an external DC power supply. The DC voltage required is between
+10 and +30 V DC. The router has built-in protection against reverse polarity without signaling.
Connect the power supply cable to the PWR connector on the router’s front panel (see the
figure below) and tighten the locking screws.

4. Ethernet
For an initial configuration made in a web browser, connect a PC by an Ethernet cable to
the default LAN interface, use the ETH port; see the figure above. By default, this interface
has the following configuration:
Connector Purpose Default Setting
ETH LAN port (default)
Connect your PC to this port to get the
router web interface.
DHCP Server
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
NetMask: 255.255.255.0
If the router is equipped with any expansion port, connect the appropriate cable to the port
PORT1 or PORT2. The pin assignments for expansion ports is described in manual for corre-
sponding expansion port.
Configuration
1. Configuring the Device Using the Web Browser
You can use a web browser running on your PC to access the router web interface. Here
you can perform router monitoring, configuration, and administration. First, connect the PC to
the default LAN interface described in the Ethernet chapter. 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.
There is just the root user account created on the router by default. See the product
label on the router for its default password1. Log in to the web interface by the root user
and his password. See the configuration manual of the router for a detailed description and
examples of the router configuration.
2. Configuring the Device Using the SSH or Telnet
Device management can be done by accessing the device through the Secure Shell (SSH)
or the Telnet protocol. The default IP address of the device is 192.168.1.1. Standard TCP
ports are used, 22 for the SSH and 23 for the Telnet. Please note, that access is permitted for
users of the admin role only and that the Telnet protocol is disabled by default. For a detailed
description of SSH and Telnet configuration, see the Configuration Manual.
1If the label does not contain a unique password, use "root" string as the password.

2. Configuration Settings via WebAccess/DMP
Your router has been pre-installed with the WebAccess/DMP client, which has activated
the connection to the WebAccess/DMP server by default. You can disable this connection on
the Welcome page when logging into the router’s web interface or on the (Customization ->
Router Apps -> WebAccess/DMP Client) configuration page. For more information see the
configuration manual of your router, chapter Basic Information -> WebAccess/DMP Configu-
ration.
The activated client periodically uploads router identifiers and configuration to the Web-
Access/DMP server.
4. Restoring and Backing up the Router Configuration
The default factory settings will replace the current configuration if you reset the router.
Therefore, we recommend you back up the router configuration before resetting the device.
Refer to the configuration manual for more information.
You can restore the default router configuration once the router boots up and the PWR
LED starts blinking. To do so, press the RST button on the router’s front panel for more than
4 seconds. After you press this button, all settings reset to the default values, and the router
will reboot.
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, we highly recommend updating the router’s firmware to the latest
version regularly. Downgrading the firmware to an older version than the production
version or uploading firmware intended for a different device may cause the device’s
malfunction.
