Unauthorized modifications or unapproved utilization of accessories can
result in the termination of the guarantee.
Before handling the SIM card, disconnect the router from the power
supply.
Do not exceed the maximum voltage of 30 V DC at the power
connector of the router.
Do not expose the router to extreme ambient conditions. Protect the
router against dust, moisture and high temperature. See table 8 on
page 28.
It is recommended that you should create an appropriate copy or
backup of the important settings that are stored in the memory of the
device.
Caution! The SIM card can be swallowed by small children.
It is recommended that you do not use the router at petrol filling
stations. We recommend observing local restrictions concerning the
use of radio-based devices while working with explosive material for
example, at petrol filling stations, or in chemical plants.
While using the router close to personal medical devices, such as
cardiac pacemakers or hearing aids, proceed with heightened caution.
Note: Insert the SIM Card holder in the SIM card slot very carefully. When
inserted improperly, you can damage the SIM card slot. Also, the SIM
card can fall out of the holder and end up in the router.

1 Router Description
Hirschmann has designed the OWL router for wireless communication in
mobile networks that make use of the following technologies:
HSPA+
UMTS
EDGE
GPRS
Due to the high speed data transfer, up to 14.4 Mbit/s (download) and up to
5.76 Mbit/s (upload), this router is an ideal wireless solution for connecting
the data stream and security camera systems, individual computers, LAN
networks, automatic teller machines (ATM) and other self-service terminals.
As a standard, the router is supplied in a metal casing.
The cellular router is also equipped with the following interfaces located on
the front panel:
2 Fast Ethernet 10/100BaseTX ports, RJ45
2 SIM Cards readers, for 3 V and 1.8 V SIM cards
2 SMA antenna connectors, Main + Rx Div
1 Connector (2-pin) for the power supply adapter
1 Reset button
Configuring the cellular router is possible using a graphical user interface
which is password protected. The graphical user interface provides, after
logging in, detailed statistics about the activities of the router such as, signal
strength, and a detailed system log. This device supports the creation of VPN
tunnels using technologies such as IPSec, OpenVPN and L2TP for secure
communications. The router also supports the following functions:
DHCP
NAT
DynDNS
IPSec
OpenVPN
NTP
VRRP
control by SMS
primary/backup connection
Diagnostic functions, which provide for continuous communication, include
an automatic inspection of a PPP connection, offering an automatic restart
feature in case of an unexpected termination of the connection. Another
diagnostic function is the hardware watchdog, which monitors the status of
the router.

Installation OWL 3G
Release 3 06/2017 11
Using a special window, the start up script window, you can insert Linux
scripts for various actions. For some applications, it is crucial to create
several different configurations for a router. You can exchange these
configurations as necessary for example, using SMS. The router can
automatically upgrade a configuration and firmware from a server. This
allows you to configure several routers at a time.
Note: For the system time backup the device contains a 3 V Lithium Battery
(Li/MnO2).

We recommend you bind every cable in a bunch according to the following
figure. For this use we recommend you observe the following rules:
The length of the combination of power supply and data cables can be a
maximum of 1.5 m. If the length of data cables or power cable exceeds
1.5 m, we recommend that you install surge protectors.
Do not use data cables which conduct working voltage 230 V/50 Hz.
Use twisted pair cables for sensor communications.

3.4 Removing from the DIN rail
Default position of holder, used for mounting the router on a DIN rail, is
shown in the following figure:
Figure 7: Default position of DIN holder
To remove the router from the DIN rail, it is necessary to lightly push the
router downward so that the bottom part of the holder clears the rail. After the
holder clears the rail rotate the bottom part of the router out away from the
DIN rail.

3.5.2 Power Connector
Panel socket 2-pin.
Figure 10: Power connector
The power supply for the router should be between +12 V to +24 V DC
supply. Protection against reversed polarity without signaling is built into the
router.
The power consumption during receiving is 2.3 W. The peak power
consumption during data sending is 5.5 W. For correct operation, it is
necessary that the power source is able to supply a peak current of 0.9 A.
Circuit example:
Figure 11: Power connector pin-outs
3.5.3 Grounding the device (functional earth)
Ground the device by connecting the minus pole (GND) of the power supply
to earth. When you mount the device on a grounded DIN rail, then the DIN
rail provides the ground.The shield of a shielded twisted pair cable is
connected to the housing and the minus pole of the power supply socket.
