3.3 Installing in a rack
The bintec RM3000 router can be mounted in a 19-inch rack. Rack rails and screws are not provided and must be
purchased separately.
Both rails are attached to the device by means of 4 screws, two on each side (see Figure 11).
Fig. 11: Anchor bolts for a rack
3.3.1 Standalone
bintec RM3000 routers can be placed as standalones on a flat, stable surface. The adhesive rubber feet must be
stuck to the underside panel to prevent the router from sliding.
3 Components and power supply bintec elmeg
10 RM3000 Router

Make sure there is plenty of space around the router for ventilation and check that the electricity cables are not
pulled too tight.
3.3.2 Mounting on a wall
An optional wall mount kit is available for the bintec RM3000. The kit can be ordered separately or together with
your bintec RM3000 router.
The anchors to mount the device on the wall must be installed as shown in the following figure, using the screws
provided by the manufacturer.
Fig. 12: Wall mounting
Once the anchors are in place, the device may be secured to the wall as shown in the figure on the right above.
Warning
All screws must be screwed into wall studs (wood) or anchors. Choose a type of wall stud or anchor
that is appropriate for the wall. Screws driven directly into drywall will not be strong enough to support
the weight of the router.
The above figures show the wall-mounting features on the bintec RM3000 router.
Wall-mounting elements
Item Description
1 Wall screws.
2 23.2 cm (9.13 inches).
3 Chassis mounting holes.
4 Router chassis.
5 Mounting surface.
(1) Place the two (or four) wall studs on the wall or other vertical surface separated horizontally.
Warning
If installing the router onto drywall, use hollow-wall anchors (8mm - 5/16 inch) to secure the
screws. If the screws are not properly anchored, the strain of the cables connected to the back of
the router could pull the router from the wall.
bintec elmeg 3 Components and power supply
RM3000 Router 11

(2) Fix the router to the wall using the screws (3.5x30). The above figure indicates how to install it so that it is safe
to use.
3.4 Plug-in modules
The only module that can be inserted in the device is a 3G USB modem. A list of supported 3G modems can be
found on the following website: http://www.bintec-elmeg.com.
3.4.1 Installation
Simply insert the USB in the appropriate slot on the rear panel, as shown in the following figure:
Fig. 13: USB modem insertion slot
3.4.2 Uninstall
To uninstall the device, simply remove it from the slot where it was inserted. See Fig. 13 on page 12.
3.5 Power source
The bintec RM3000 router is powered by an external AC/DC source.
Workplace conditions. Main characteristics
• Do not expose the device to humid and/or dusty environments.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or install near any heat sources. Do not place the device amongst pa-
pers, magazines or other elements that could hinder natural air circulation.
• Do not place the device close to strong electromagnetic fields (e.g., speakers, engines, etc.).
• Avoid knocks and/or strong vibrations during transport, operation and storage.
Warning
Electrical current from power, telephone and communication cables is hazardous. To prevent electric
shock, you must connect and disconnect the cables according to the instructions set forth in Connect-
ing on page 13 andDisconnecting on page 13 before attempting to install, move or open any of the
device's covers.
3.5.1 Connecting the power supply
To connect the power supply to the device, please follow the steps outlined in the section entitled Connecting on
page 13.
To prevent electric shocks, residual current circulation, and other unwanted effects that have an impact on commu-
nications, the following is recommended:
Warning
All interconnected communication devices should be plugged into THE SAME GROUNDED POWER
OUTLET, which should also be of good quality (lower than 10 ohms).
3 Components and power supply bintec elmeg
12 RM3000 Router

We recommend connecting all data devices to the same power source, regardless of whether the work-
place has an uninterrupted power supply (UPS), a regulated supply or is independent of other power
supplies (such as lighting, etc.). This will help to prevent malfunctions and premature aging of the
drivers and other components.
3.5.2 Connecting
• Make sure the router’s power supply switch is in the OFF position (0).
• Ensure the power supply is NOT connected to either the mains or the router.
• Connect all data cables.
• Connect the power supply cable to the device.
• Connect the power supply cable to the mains.
• Set the router’s power supply switch to the ON position (1).
3.5.3 Disconnecting
• Make sure the router’s power supply switch is in the OFF position (0).
• Disconnect the power supply from the mains.
• Disconnect the power supply from the router.
• Disconnect the data cables.
3.6 RST button
The RST button on the rear of the bintec RM3000 router has various functions (described below).
3.6.1 Rebooting the device
Once the device is operating normally, pressing the RST button will make it restart.
3.6.2 Default configuration
The RST button allows you to restore your router to its factory default configuration through the following steps:
• With the device switched off, keep the RST button pressed and switch the router on using the ON/OFF switch (1).
• The PSU LED lights up in green and the LED slot starts to blink in amber. This blinking will continue for 10
seconds.
• For the device to boot with the default configuration, stop pressing the RST button while the LED slot is blinking
(i.e., before the 10-second period expires).
The router's default configuration sets up the router with the following IP address and mask:
• IP address: 192.168.1.1
• IP mask: 255.255.255.0
Note
Some devices come with customized settings. As a result, the default configuration may be different to
the one shown above.
3.7 Connecting the data
The bintec RM3000 router has the following data connections.
bintec elmeg 3 Components and power supply
RM3000 Router 13

3.7.1 4-port Ethernet switch
The bintec RM3000 router incorporates a 4-port 10/100/1000 BaseT Switch with automatic MDI/MDIX to connect to
a local area network (LAN).
Please pay careful attention to the labeling so you do not mix this switch with other port types:
Fig. 14: LAN switch ports
Note
Only the LAN 1 connector is available during booting and in BIOS mode.
Warning
The equipment must be used with the power supply provided by the manufacturer.
3.7.2 WAN connection
The bintec RM3000 incorporates an Ethernet WAN 10/100/1000 BaseT port with automatic MDI/MDIX.
The WAN port is independent from the switch and is handled like every other interface.
Please pay careful attention to the labeling so you do not mix this switch with other port types:
Fig. 15: WAN PORT
Note
The WAN connector is not operational during booting and in BIOS mode.
3.7.3 WWAN antenna connection (cell connector)
The bintec RM3000 has two 3G antenna connectors. The antennas are assembled and disassembled by screwing/
unscrewing them into/from the Cell connectors on the router's side panels.
Using these antennas with the bintec RM3000 router improves the quality of the signal received and transmitted by
the cellular model.
