CONFIGURING THE
ROUTER
All specialist electronic devices must be operated with due care to avoid damage or injuries and should be installed and
operated by a trained personnel.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT IN ENVIRONMENTS CONTAINING POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE GASES OR
LIQUIDS, EXAMPLE, GAS STATIONS AND CHEMICAL PLANTS AND EXPLOSIVE STORES.
Inadequate current or dips in voltage may cause the device to fail to connect to data services even if the LEDs are
lighted up. Supply over 30 VDC will damage the device.
Never remove or insert SIM card when device has PWR switched in “ON” position. Damage caused to device or SIM in
such case will not be warranted.
Do not reboot/power-down the device until the writing process is acknowledged as completed.

This is a 4-way general purpose
switch available to user application
program. DIP #4 (right-most) is
dedicated as ‘TEST MODE’ *which
is activated when DIP #4 is in
‘OFF/down’ position during power
up.
*
During ‘TEST MODE’, after power up is
stable (e.g. 1 minute) a program will
monitor a switch (contact between #3
and #4 of Serial Input Port)
Press #1, if INPUT (#3 of Serial Input
Port) is working, LED ‘YES’ will blink
once
Press #2, with a ‘loop back’ wire
connected between #1(TX) and #2(RX)
of the Serial Input Port. The LED ‘YES’
will blink twice
Press #3, once a 3G/GPRS/EDGE
session is established, LED ‘YES’ will
blink three times

Setup the FATBOX G3 to automatically
assign IP addresses to your connected LAN
devices.
This would be the starting address for con-
nected devices. For the example above, the
rst device connected would be assigned
192.168.1.100.
This would be the limit for number of con-
nected devices. For the example above, the
last device connected would be assigned
192.168.1.150

IP masquerading allows internal machines
that don’t have an ofcially assigned IP ad-
dresses to communicate to other networks
and especially the Internet. Set this to the
specic device on your network.
