Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to your Router
Embedded Dual 4G LTE Industrial Router
MX-1000, Embedded Dual 4G LTE Industrial Router, is integrated with the 802.11n Wireless Access
Point and Dual WAN interfaces featuring reliable connectivity and network expandability. This
cutting-edge networking device provides multi-GNSS engine for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS
system for remotely tracking and monitoring vehicles. M1000 is uniquely installed dual 4G LTE
modules enabling an extensive range of mission-critical markets to enjoy a robust, always-on Internet
experience by plugging dual SIMs. Fallback and Failover between dual 4G LTE connections supports
a seamless wireless connection and is perfectly suitable for industrial M2M applications, ranging from
fleet management, public safety, smart bus & transportation, automotive, agriculture, construction,
and retail services.
Extraordinary Connectivity with Solid Data Protection
The MX-1000 features a rugged, compact design with integrated dual 4G LTE WAN ports, 4-port
Gigabit Ethernet switch, 802.11n Wi-Fi access point with multiple SSID supports, and two
multi-function USB 2.0 host interfaces for Storage/NAS. SPI firewall, and advanced VPN integration
provide security needed to enhance the operations of Public Safety, Energy Wellhead and Gas
Industry, Industrial M2M Segment, PoS/Kiosks/ATM, Fleet Management, and Smart
Transportation/Bus.
Vehicle Tracking System
MX-1000 is embedded with a GNSS receiver for GPS or GLONASS. To co-work with On-Board
Diagnostics(OBD) system, it eases the central control of geographically-dispersed fleets by presenting
individual vehicles' detailed information, including remaining fuel levels, rapid accelerations, and
locations.
Robust Design to Withstand in the Harshest Environments
The industrial-grade enclosure is designed to resist heat, dust, moisture and provides long-term
operation in the toughest of environments. M1000 supports an extended temperatures range from -40
to 140º F ( -40 to 60º C) for extremely challenging conditions such as industrial automation, mining
plants, wellhead & gas drilling, manufacturing factories, and virtually anywhere that requires a robust
wireless connection.
The Future of Internet Connectivity - 4G LTE
To offer an advanced network solution that meets the growing demands of M2M services, MX-1000
exclusively features dual WAN - load balance or auto-failover/failback to provide extraordinary,
always-on internet connectivity. In addition to the deployment of dual 4G LTE modules and dual SIMs,
MX-1000 broadens wireless coverage to rough terrains and rural areas and persists seamless
connectivity without interruptions.

Secure VPN Connections
The MX-1000 supports comprehensive and robust IPSec VPN (Virtual Private Network) protocols for
business users to establish private encrypted tunnels over the public Internet to secure data
transmission between headquarters and branch offices. It also supports VPN dial in from smart
phones for secure remote Internet connection via your home broadband. With a built-in DES/3DES
VPN accelerator, the router enhances IPSec VPN performance significantly.
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.

The detail instruction in Reset Button
Recovery procedures for non-working routers (e.g. after a failed firmware upgrade flash):
Power on the router, once the Power LED lit red, please press this reset button using the end of paper
clip or other small pointed object immediately.
The router’s emergency-reflash web interface will then be accessible via http://192.168.1.1 where you
can upload a firmware image to restore the router to a functional state.
Please note that the router will only respond with its web interface at this address (192.168.1.1), and
will not respond to ping request from your PC or other telnet operations.
Note:
Before starting recovery process, please configure the IP address of the PC as 192.168.1.100 and
proceed with the following step-by-step guide.
1. Power the router off.
2. Press reset button and power on the router, once the Power lights Red, keeping press reset button
over 6 seconds.
3. Internet led flashes Green, router entering recovery procedure and router's IP will reset to
Emergency IP address (Say 192.168.1.1).
4. Open browser and access http://192.168.1.1 to upload the firmware.
5. Internet led lit Red, and router starts to write firmware into flash. Please DO NOT power off the
router at this step.
6. Internet led lit Green when successfully upgrade firmware.
7. Power the router off and then on.

Cabling
One of the most common causes of problems is bad cabling. Make sure that all connected devices are
turned on. On the front panel of the product is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and LEDs are
lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper cables.

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 XP / Vista / 7 / 8, 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 and 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 192.168.1.254 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 192.168.1.1 to
192.168.1.253). 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 192.168.1.254 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 MX-1000. To configure other types of workstations,
please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
