1. Starting up the Router
1.1 Cable connection
1. Mount a 2G/3G or two LTE SMA antenna –according to the module type - to one of the
Antenna titled SMA-M interfaces (in case of LTE module all the two antenna must be
mounted).
2. If there is a WiFi module presented, then connect a WiFi antenna to the WiFi titled
antenna connector.
3. Insert an activated data SIM card to the SIM holder, placed the chip-side up and the
cutted edge towards to inside and push until it sleeves.
4. Connect an UTP cable to the RJ45 port (Ethernet titled), the other side of the cable
must be plugged to the PC or a current network device.

1.2 First starting of the router
1. Plug the 12V DC power adapter chord to the POWER interface, then plug the adapter
to the 230V electrical network.
2. The router has a pre-installed system (contains uploaded firmware and system software).
By plugging the power adapter to the 230V AC socket, the router begins to work, whereas its
LED signals are showing the current activity during the operation.
3. When power up the router, the upper ST titled LED will be flashing slowly and continuously
with green light, which means that the system is booting and it is loading the system.
4. The system starting then takes about 2 minutes while it will be ready for usage. When the ST
LED will not lighting (but the other LEDs are active), then the system is ready for operating.
Then the router is available on the web user interface and operating well.
5. In case of availability of the WiFi (if WiFi module is presented in the device) then the lower
WiFi LED lighting continuously by green light. This assigns that the WiFi/Access Point is
available for the connecting clients –for accessing the public Internet.
6. The mobile network availability is signed by the middle Cell LED. When the SIM card network
registration was successfully performed by the modem, the middle LED lights continuously by
green.
7. As soon as you can, configure the internet settings of the wireless module (SIM and
APN) for connecting to the 2G/3G/LTE network –in other case the router will be
restarting in every 10 minutes!
If you notice any failure or unusual LED flashing, then go to the Troubleshooting chapter.
In case of restart or manual restarting of the router, all the three LEDs will lighting for 1
second with red colour, then will be blank for a couple of seconds. Then the boot sequence
repeats from the point nr. 3 as it is written here above.
1.3 Web infterface of the router
1. Then now you can connect to the router’s local web interface (LuCi) through the Ethernet
interface –on its default address. The web user interface can be accessed only (!) in a Mozilla
Firefox web browser on this address: https://192.168.127.1:8888
Attention! The ethernet IP address can be modified after login from the OpenWrt.

2. Allow the accessing of the router default IP address in your browser by pushing to the Special
button, then allow the safety exclusion into the pop-up window.
3. The LuCi web user interface (OpenWrt) login data are the following:
Username: root Password: wmrpwd ), then push to the Login button.
When connecting to the public network, it is recommended to change the login
password!
1.4 Accessing the router on ssh connection
The router can be accessed through an ssh connection, when it is available on its IP address –by
a terminal utility (e.g. putty ) –at 192.168.127.1:22 (Login: root , Password: wmrpwd ).

2. Router configuration on the OpenWrt user interface
2.1 Login
1. Login with: Username: root , Password: wmrpwd then push to the Login button.
2. After login to the web interface, the startup screen appears with the current status of the
router.
Check the Build Date (OpenWrt) statuts that it is 2017-02-10 or newer and the STM32
Firmware version. At the Network part you can identify the Modem model, the RSSI (signal
strength value), and the SIM-card logon data ( AT+COPS? ), with the IPv4 WAN status of
the network (as connection Type, IP address).

2.2 Menu
By the menu you can access the following features:
-Status –Status data, operation logs, operation monitoring
-System –System settings, administration, software and fw-refresh, backup/restrore of the
configuration settings
-Router –Device Manager settings, Modem and Logging parameters, Ping an IP address,
Daily restart, Factory settings
-Services –DynDNS (dinamic DNS) settings, Ser2net configuration (RS232/RS485)
-Network –network interface settings, Wifi settings, DHCP, DNS, Route rules, diagnostics,
firewall

3. Network configuration of the router
3.1 Interface settings
The list of the available network interfacescan be found at the Interfaces / Interface
Overview menu item.
The LAN interface meaning the Ethernet port connection ( eth0 ), the WAN interface is the public
wireless Internet connection (as 3g-wan, in case of LTE: eth1 ) –which means the 2G, 3G, LTE
module by physically.
In case of WiFi the proper related interface is also available.
Modifying the interface settings
At the interfaces, at right you can modify the settings with the button.
The Stop button stops the communication on the current interface, the Connect button
reconnects the related interface connection.
