1 Product Introduction
1.1
Product overview
The Comset Router CM210Q-W is an industrial grade 3G/4G/4GX LTE WiFi Modem Router
with download speeds of up to 150 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 50 Mbps. It is one of the
few routers on the Australian market that support band B28 (700MHz)*.
The Comset Router CM210Q-W is designed to suit Australian conditions. It supports the latest
LTE Advanced technology that performs fast and reliable data communication. It enables
users to quickly create a secure and fast wireless network. It features built-in WiFi N300 with
speeds of up to 300 Mbps, dual SIM card slots for backup redundancy, one Ethernet WAN port
for fixed internet connection and two Ethernet LAN ports, as well as a GPIO with two digital
input ports and one digital output port. Other features include VPN IPSEC, PPTP (Server and
Client), L2TP and Open VPN to establish a secure connection over the 3G/4G network.
The durable and rugged design makes the CM210Q-W the router of choice for remote harsh
environments. The compact design, easy integration and rich built-in features make it suitable
for a wide range of industrial M2M applications, including industrial automation, building
automation, smart metering, security, surveillance, transportation, health, mining and
environmental monitoring.
* When it comes to mobile reception, low-frequencies are the Holy Grail. The B28 (700MHz) low-frequency
radio bandwidth, also known as Telstra 4GX and Optus 4G Plus, can reach much longer distances than high-
frequency bands and is better at penetrating solid obstacles like buildings, giving you much better indoor
reception.
1.2
Typical Application Diagram
The Comset CM210Q-W 3G/4G/4GX Router is suitable for a wide range of machine-to-
machine applications (M2M). A good example is the connection of ATM machines and POS
systems back to a server over a secure 4G connection using a secure VPN IPSEC tunnel.

CM210Q-W Router User Manual
ICMP Check and Cellular Traffic Check are different.
【ICMP Check】
If you enable ICMP, the router will automatically check whether the defined IP
address is reachable every 60s. If the IP address is unreachable and the ICMP
check fails the first time, it will check twice again at a 3s interval. If the ICMP
check fails the third time, the router will implement the “fail action” as
configured.
The Check IP is a public IP or a company server IP address.
【Cellular Traffic Check】
【Check Mode】there are three modes, Rx(Receive), Tx(Transmit) and Rx/Tx
check modes.
【Rx】The router will check the 3G/LTE cellular traffic received. If no traffic is
received within the defined check interval time, the router will implement the “fail
action” selected, cellular reconnect or reboot.
【SIM Mode】
【Fail Over】When SIM 1 fails, the router will switch to SIM 2. When SIM 2
fails, the router will switch back to SIM 1.
【SIM1 Only】Just SIM1 is available.
【SIM2 Only】Just SIM2 is available.
【Backup】SIM1 is the primary SIM. When SIM 1 fails, the router will switch
to SIM 2 and stays on SIM 2 for a set period at the end of which it will switch
back to SIM 1.
