CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Introduction to your Router
Congratulations on your purchase of the RIDGEWAVE 6900 (Outdoor 4G/LTE Router).
This unit is a light-weight, an industrial-grade outdoor fixed wireless router with an IP67 rated
enclosure to withstand extreme weather conditions and harsh rugged deployments. With integrated
IEEE802.3at power over Ethernet (PoE) support, the RidgeWave 6900 provides an easy installation
from eliminating the need for a separate power and data cable.
In addition to outdoor, it can be installed in environments such as: manufacturing plants, industrial
automation, stadiums, convention halls, stadium facilities, school campuses or virtually any venue
requiring a robust wireless solution. The RidgeWave 6900 integrates a high performance device with
an embedded LTE module and advanced IP networking features enabling support of multiple high
bandwidth applications at peaks speeds up to 100 (150) Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink.
Lightweight, Compact and unobtrusive Design
With multiple mounting options and a lightweight, it is easily to install the RidgeWave 6900 by single
person. The RidgeWave 6900 also has a built-in passive Gigabit Power of Ethernet (GPoE) so both
data and power can be sent from the unit.
Designed for Challenging / Rugged Deployments
The RidgeWave 6900 is designed for the toughest industrial environments. With IP67 hardened
enclosure with industrial-grade components, the RidgeWave 6900 can be installed in manufacturing
plants, industrial automation, stadiums, convention halls, stadium facilities, school campuses, etc.
4G/LTE Mobility
With 4G/LTE-based Internet connection (4G/LTE embedded module, requires an additional SIM card),
you can access to the Internet through 4G/LTE whether you are seated at your desk or taking a cross-
country trip.
4G/LTE Management Center
RidgeWave 6900 (4G/LTE Outdoor Router) Mobile Management Center visually displays its current
4G/LTE signal status also calculates the total amount of hours or data traffic used per month, allowing
you to manage your 4G/LTE monthly subscriptions.
IPv6 Supported
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed IPv4.
IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. The router is already supporting IPv6, you can use
it in IPv6 environment no need to change device. The dual-stack protocol implementation in an
operating system is a fundamental IPv4-to-IPv6 transition technology. It implements IPv4 and IPv6
protocol stacks either independently or in a hybrid form. The hybrid form is commonly implemented in
modern operating systems supporting IPv6.

Basic Installation
Network Configuration

RidgeWave 6900 User Manual
CHAPTER 3: BASIC INSTALLATION
The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard
application in the following operating systems: Windows 98 / NT /2000 / XP / ME / 7 / Vista, Linux,
Mac OS, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly
or through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed or configured to obtain an IP address
through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The
default IP address of the router is 192.168.0.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached
PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.0.50 to
192.168.0.199). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically
from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it
may also be advisable to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause
problems accessing the 192.168.0.1 IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions
on how to best protect their network.
Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please check
your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be
installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or
through the RidgeWave 6900
. To configure other types of
workstations, please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
