1. BASIC INFORMATION
1. Basic Information
SmartMotion is Twin cellular module LTE router designed for reliable and backed up com-
munication across cellular networks using LTE, HSPA+, UMTS, EDGE or GPRS technology.
There are applications where mobile communication is used as the main communication line
even for important applications requiring a high degree of reliability. SmartMotion router is
equipped with two independent cellular modules – it is like two devices in one (main and
backup). Each module can and should use the infrastructure of another cellular service
provider. The definition of the main and backup lie can be made using a configuration in-
terface of router described in this manual.
Data transfer speed in cellular network is up to 100 Mbps (download) and up to 50 Mbps
(upload). The router is an ideal solution for the wireless connection in transportation, secu-
rity systems, camera systems, individual computers, LANs, automatic teller machines (ATM),
other self-service terminals, and many other devices.
1.1 Standard Equipment
Standard features include two cellular modules (both with main and diversity antenna con-
nectors and one with GPS antenna connector), two Ethernet 10/100 ports, one USB 2.0 Host
port, two binary inputs, one binary output (I/O connector), four SIM card readers for 3 V and
1.8 V SIM cards (two for every cellular module). The router also has microSD memory card
reader that increases the router’s storage space by up to 64 GB when using SDXC card or up
to 32 GB when using SDHC cards. The router is provided in metal casing.
1.2 Optional Features
If desired, the router can be configured with a WiFi module when the router is manufac-
tured. (Note that routers cannot be retrofitted with this feature at some point in the future.) See
the router’s technical manual for details.
1.3 Advantages in Relation to v2 Concept Routers
The most considerable progress for a new generation of routers is four times more pow-
erful CPU providing significantly higher throughput and faster encryption. The router can also
boast substantially larger memory (512 MB RAM and 256 MB flash). As already mentioned
above, the storage space can be further increased using a memory card. The fact that the
router supports POE (Power over Ethernet) is also worthy of notice. This means that it is pos-
sible to power over data network cable without using any other cable for power supply. It just
depends on the customer whether he gets "v3" router supporting PSE mode (Power Source
Equipment), PD mode (Powered Device) or the router which does not support POE.

1. BASIC INFORMATION
1.4 Configuration
Configuring SmartMotion routers is made easy by name and password protected web
interface. The interface provides detailed statistics about router activities, signal strength,
system logs and more. The router supports both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, the creation of
secure VPN tunnels using technologies that include IPsec,OpenVPN and L2TP. The router
also supports DHCP,NAT,NAT-T,DynDNS client,NTP,VRRP, control by SMS, backup of
primary connection, multiple WANs and many other functions.
Additional diagnostic features designed to ensure continuous communication include au-
tomatic inspection of PPP connections, an automatic restart feature in case a connection is
lost, and a hardware watchdog that monitors the status of the router. Using a start up script
window, users can insert Linux scripts for various actions. Users may insert multiple scripts
and the router can switch between configurations as needed. Examples would include using
SMS or checking the status of the binary input. SmartMotion routers can automatically update
their configurations and firmware from a central server, allowing for mass reconfiguration of
multiple routers at the same time.
1.5 Configuration Options
Routers can be configured via web browser or Secure Shell (SSH). Configuration via Web
Browser is described in this Configuration Manual. Commands and scripts applicable in con-
figuration via SSH are described in Commands and Scripts for v2 and v3 Routers – Application
Note [1]. Technical parameters and description of the router can be found in User’s Manual of
your router. You can use additional software – communication VPN server SmartCluster [2]
and software for router monitoring R-SeeNet [3, 4].
1.6 IPv6 Support
There is independent IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack implemented in the router’s firmware. It
means you can configure traffic in both IP protocols independently and both are supported.
Additional EUI-64 IPv6 addresses of network interfaces are generated automatically the stan-
dard way. There is NAT64 internal gateway network interface for automatic translation between
IPv6 and IPv4 (see Chapter 3.5 for more information). It works together with DNS64 seam-
lessly (domain names translation).
For cellular IPv6 connection see Mobile WAN Configuration in Chapter 4.4.1. For IPv6 LAN
configuration see LAN Configuration in Chapter 4.1, DHCPv6 server/client is supported. IPv4
is default, but IPv6 can be enabled or used at all features and protocols in the router, except
for non-secured tunnels GRE, L2TP and PPTP. Using secured tunnels OpenVPN and IPsec
you can run IPv6 traffic inside the IPv4 tunnel and vice versa. Configuration form for NAT,
Firewall and Up/Down Scripts is totally separated for IPv4 and IPv6 stack. ICMPv6 protocol is
supported. IPv6 configuration is mentioned in every particular Chapter below when possible.

1.7 This Configuration Manual Describes
•Configuration of the router item by item according to the web interface (chapters 3to 6).
•Configuration in typical situations examples (chapter 7):
–Access to the Internet from LAN (Local Area Network) via mobile network, Ch. 7.1.
–Backed up access to the Internet (from LAN), Ch. 7.2.
–Secure networks interconnection or using VPN (Virtal Private Network), Ch. 7.3.

2. ACCESS TO THE WEB CONF.
2. Access to the Web Configuration
Attention! Wireless transmissions work only when you activate the SIM card for data
traffic and insert it into the router. Remove the power source before inserting the SIM
card.
You may use the web interface to monitor, configure and manage the router. To do so,
enter the router’s IP address in your browser. The default address is 192.168.1.1. Only ac-
cess via secured HTTPS protocol is permitted. So the syntax for the IP address must be
Figure 1: Example of the Web Configuration
4

2. ACCESS TO THE WEB CONF.
https://192.168.1.1. When accessing the router for the first time you will need to install a se-
curity certificate if you don’t want the browser to show you a domain disagreement message.
To avoid receiving domain disagreement messages, follow the procedure described in the
following subchapter.
The default username is "root". The default password is "root". Change the default
password as soon as possible.
For increased security of the network connected to the router, change the default router
password. When the default password of the router is still active, the Change password
title is highlighted in red.
When you successfully enter login information on the login page, web interface will be
displayed. The left side of the web interface contains a menu tree with sections for monitor-
ing (Status), configuration (Configuration), customization (Customization) and administration
(Administration) of the router.
Name and Location items in the right upper corner display the name and location of the
router in the SNMP configuration (see 4.19). These fields are user-defined for each router.
After the green LED starts to blink you may restore the initial router settings by pressing
the reset (RST ) button on the back panel. If the reset button is pressed, all configuration will
revert to factory defaults and the router will reboot (the green LED will be on during the reboot).
2.1 Certificates and Preventing the Security Message
There is the self-signed HTTPS certificate in the router. If you want to use your own
certificate (e.g. in combination with the dynamic DNS service), you need to replace the
/etc/certs/https_cert and /etc/certs/https_key files in the router.
If you decide to use the self-signed certificate in the router to prevent the security message
(domain disagreement) from pop up every time you log into the router, you can take the fol-
lowing steps. Note: You will have to use the domain name based on the MAC address of the
router and it is not guaranteed to work with every combination of an operating system and a
browser.
•Add the DNS record to your DNS system: Edit /etc/hosts (Linux/Unix OS) or
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows OS) or configure your own DNS
server. Add a new record with the IP address of your router and the domain name
based of the MAC address of the router (MAC address of the first network interface seen
in Network Status in the Web interface of the router.) Use dash separators instead of
colons. Example: A router with the MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55 will have a domain
name 00-11-22-33-44-55.
•Access the router via the new domain name address (E.g. https://00-11-22-33-44-55).
If you see the security message, add an exception so the next time the message will
not pop up (E.g. in Firefox Web browser). If there is no possibility to add an exception,
export the certificate to the file and import it to your browser or operating system.
