First Use
Before applying power to the router, connect all the components that you need for your
applications.
Do not run the router without an antenna connected to the main antenna connector as the
energy from the transmission is effectively reflected by the open end and can damage
the equipment.
1. Antenna
Use an SMA connectors to connect the antennas to the router, see the figure below. The
main antenna is connected to the ANT connector. The second diversity antenna can be
connected to the DIV connector to improve the quality and reliability of a wireless link.
2. SIM card
The SIM card reader for two Mini SIM cards (2FF with size of 25.0 x 15.0 x 0.76 mm)
is 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 into the SIM card
reader. Push your SIM card into the SIM1 or SIM2 slot until it clicks into place. 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
+9 and +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.

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
Configuration
1. Configuring the Device Using the Web Browser
You can use a web browser running on your PC to get access to the router web interface.
Here you can perform router monitoring, configuration, and administration. First, connect
the PC to the default LAN interface as 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.
By default, there is just the root user account created on the router. 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. Configuration Settings via WebAccess/DMP
Your router has been pre-installed with the WebAccess/DMP client. For its activation,
enable it in the router’s web interface (Customization -> User Modules -> WebAccess/DMP
Client). For more information see the configuration manual of your router.
The activated client periodically uploads router identificators, its configuration, and cel-
lular network statistics to the WebAccess/DMP server. If you have purchased a part
number ending with "-SWH", the DMP client is activated by default.
1If the label does not contain a unique password, use "root" string as the password.

With the WebAccess/DMP client activated, you may configure the router from WebAc-
cess/DMP portal. Navigate your browser to https://www.wadmp.com.
If this is your first time, please self-sign-up with the site. If not, please log in with your
username and password. Once logged in, further assistance can be found at https://docs.
wadmp.com.
3. Restoring and Backing up the Router Configuration
If you reset the router, the current configuration will be replaced by the default factory
settings. We recommend you to back up the router configuration before resetting the device.
Refer to the configuration manual for more information.
Once the router boots up and the PWR LED starts blinking, you can restore the default
router configuration. To do so, press the RST button on the rear panel of the router. After you
press this button, all settings are 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, 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.
