The different features of the RST button are described below.
3.4.1 Rebooting the device
Once the device is operating normally, if you press the RST button, it will restart.
3.4.2 Default Configuration
The RST button allows you to boot the device with its default configuration through the following steps:
• With the device switched off, maintain the RESET button pressed and it will switch on.
• The POWER LED (green) will light up and the W LED will begin to blink. This blinking will continue for 10 seconds.
• For the device to boot with the default configuration, release the RESET button while the W LED is blinking (i.e. be-
fore the 10 second period expires).
Once the default configuration is running, you need to know what type of license the device has. Depending on the li-
cense, the device will operate as:
• Router: If you have a router license, the device will behave as a router. In this case, the default configuration estab-
lishes the following access IP address and the mask:
IP address: 192.168.1.1
IP mask: 255.255.255.0
• 4Ge: If you have a 4Ge license, the device will have a special configuration. Please see manual bintec Dm592-I -
bintec elmeg 3 Components and Power Supply
bintec 4Ge-LE 13

bintec 4Ge-LE User Manual for further information on its configuration and how to access the device.
To find out what type of license you have, execute a ping to IP address 192.168.1.1. The device, previously con-
figured with the default configuration and correctly connected through an Ethernet cable, will respond to the ping in-
dicating whether you are dealing with a router or a 4Ge.
Note
Some devices leave the factory with customized settings for a client. This personalization means that
the device may have a different default configuration from the one shown above.
3.5 Connecting data
The bintec 4Ge-LE has the following data connections.
3.5.1 ETHERNET Connection
The bintec 4Ge-LE incorporates an Ethernet 10/100/1000 BaseT Switch port with automatic MDI/MDIX.
Fig. 12: Ethernet Port
3.5.2 Connecting the WWAN Antenna
The bintec 4Ge-LE has three connectors to connect WWAN antennas. To assemble and dismantle the antennas,
simply screw them into the connectors labeled Cell (located on the front panel of the router).
The installation of these antennas in the bintec 4Ge-LE is essential to improve the quality of the signal received and
transmitted by the cellular model.
Note
To obtain a good quality performance, the bintec 4Ge-LE device should always have the WWAN an-
tennas installed.
Some cellular telephony technologies use the antenna diversity technique to improve the quality of the signal re-
ceived (HSUPA, CDMA EV-DO, etc.). Consequently, the bintec 4Ge-LE incorporates various WWAN connectors.
Fig. 13: WWAN connectors seen from the front panel
When the antennas are not directly connected to the router but installed through extension cords, the minimum dis-
tance between the two of them must be 7 cm. The maximum recommended distance between the two is 25 cm.
To achieve an optimum performance, the radio frequency accessories installed (antennas and cables) should be
those recommended by bintec.
3 Components and Power Supply bintec elmeg
14 bintec 4Ge-LE

bintec has a series of accessories (90º mount antennas, antennas for exterior installation, antennas for ceiling install-
ation, extension cables, etc.) that allow you to install the devices in different locations.
3.5.2.1 Placing the Antenna
The orientation of the bintec 4Ge-LE device and its location with respect to other wireless and radiation devices
(such as communication devices, personal computers, etc.) can significantly influence device performance.
The bintec 4Ge-LE device transmits and receives. Performance is also affected by environmental factors (such as
distance between the device and the base station), physical obstacles and other interferences caused by radiofre-
quencies (RF).
For optimum coverage, follow these steps:
• Whenever possible, place the antenna where there are no physical obstacles. Obstacles between the antenna and
the base station degrade the wireless signal. Place the antenna above ground level facing the nearest base sta-
tion.
• The density of materials also affects antennas. Place them away from walls, metal screens, mirrors, etc.
• Do not place the antenna near columns, which may throw shadows and reduce the coverage area.
• Keep the antenna away from metal ducts such as canalization, air-conditioning.
• Please bear in mind that other wireless devices such as telephones, microwaves, etc., can temporarily interfere
with the quality of the radio signal.
• We do not recommend installing antennas near, or between, racks containing communication devices, computers,
etc. Use an extension cable and place the device outside.
The following recommendations are applicable to all wireless devices:
• Do not touch or move the antenna while the device is transmitting or receiving.
• When the antenna is transmitting, do not touch any equipment that contains devices that radiate very close to, or
touching, any exposed part of the body (particularly face and eyes).
• Do not install the device in areas where the atmosphere is potentially explosive.
• Wireless devices can cause interferences with other devices. Do not use the device in environments where medic-
al equipment is installed.
• •To ensure compliance with the R&TTE 1999/5/EC norm, the device must be at least 1.5 cm away from a human
body when operating.
3.6 Installing the SIM card
A SIM card needs to be inserted in the bintec 4Ge-LE so the WWAN interface operates correctly. The router is
equipped with an external tray for SIM cards.
When inserting the SIM card, make sure you are protected against electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Warning
Do not touch the SIM card connector.
