1. Starting 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 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.
5. The DHCP service is turned off for the
router Ethernet interface, by default. Therefore,
you have to configure an IP
address for you PC, manually.
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.
Add for. e.g. the 192.168.127.10 IP address to your computer’s Ethernet interface for connecting
to the router.
(If you have the WiFi onboard version of the router, then you can configure your router on WiFi
(DHCP activated).

3. When the router is booting, the upper ST LED will be flashing once per seconds with green
light, which means that the system is loading the system. The system starting then takes about
2 minutes while it will be ready for usage.
4. When the ST LED will not flashing anymore (but the other LEDs are active), then the system is
ready for operating. Then the ST LED will blink once in every 10 seconds. 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!
8. 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 user interface 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.
Default web user interface (LuCi) address is: https://192.168.127.1:8888
The login data are the following:
Username: root
Password: wmrpwd
then push to the Login button.
Attention!
For accessing the web user interface we offer the Mozilla Firefox web.

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.
1.4 Dashboard / Main page (Status overview)
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 2017-04-20 or newer and the STM32 Firmware
version.
At the Network part you can check the Modem model, modem identifier (IMEI), the SIM
identifier ICC (SIM ID), the Modem RSSI (mobile network signal strength), the Modem SQ
(signal quality CSQ) values, and the SIM-card logon data ( AT+COPS? ), with the IPv4 WAN
status of the network (as connection Type, IP address).
1.5 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
Attention!
When connecting to the public network, it is recommended to change the login password!
The ethernet IP address can be modified after login from the OpenWrt.

1.6 Network configuration
The list of the available network interfaces can 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 3G, 4G, LTE
450 module by physically. In case of WiFi the proper related interface is also available.
At the interfaces, at right you can modify the settings with the button.
At the upper WAN, WIFI, LAN titles you will found further settings related to the chosen interfaces.
1.7 Mobile internet settings (modem, SIM, APN)
Open the WAN item from the upper selection. Then at the General Setup tab you can see the
current status of the interface and the transmitted data amount.
Configure the module to the wireless internet and for the 3G/4G/LTE network connection (by the
modem type and network behaviour) here for the WAN interface.

For configuring end enabling the roaming settings –in case of international or country border
usage –you may need to setup the Mobile country code and Mobile network code parameters
–even if you are attempted to use only a prefered mobile network.
The international country codes can be found here: http://mcc-mnc.com
Ask your mobile operator about the available international settings.
You can define the SIM #1 APN account name, and the SIM #1 PIN code if it is necessary for
the connection.
Here you will found some examples for the APN settings.
M2M APN (enclosed)
APN name: wm2m

Public Internet APN (opened)
APN name: net
The LTE450 communication needs special network and an LTE capable SIM-card for the
succesful connection!
Automatic mode
When you not set any value for the APN, the router will connect by the SIM-card automatically
to the next available network’s available APN.
Authentication
The PAP/CHAP username and PAP/CHAP
password settings can be also configured
here –if it is required for the connection.
When you are attempted to use a DUAL-
SIM version router
This can be used well as an alternative –or
spare - network path, when the operation can
be granted with better change instead of the
field coverage (adding further mobile
operator service).
Check in the Dual SIM option and define the SIM #2 APN and PIN code parameters.
When you modified the settings, save them by the Save & Apply button. Then the router will try
to connecting to the mobile network.
Only in case of using the LTE450 modem:
- After the SIM switching, the modem cannot registered for more than 2 minutes
- After 1 minute of the registration it still does net gets WAN IP address to the eth1 interface (still
will be 10.0.0.10)
Attention!
After doing the SIM, APN settings, and saving the settings, the router and the modem will not
be automatically restarted futhermore!

1.8 WiFi settings (optional)
Choose the WiFi option from the menu, then at the General Setup tab you can define a different
IP address range for the IPv4 address.
The WiFi feature is optiona for the router. In case of presense of the WiFi, the default mode is the
AccessPoint, where clients can connect to the router. The default WiFi password for the
M2M_Pro3 SSID is: M2MPro_123
The interface of the WiFi module is bridged to the ethernet by default.
When you modified the settings, save them by the Save & Apply button.
1.9 Ethernet (LAN) settings
For the LAN interface, at the LAN menu item at the General Setup tab you can define an own IP
range (IPv4 address), with the related IPv4 netmask (subnet mask).
The detailed LAN interface settings can be performed by the Network Interfaces menu item at
the LAN interface button.
Change the default 192.168.127.1 router IPv4 address to an own IP address, regarding the current
subnet.
Check the IPv4 netmask to be proper for the selected and required network class which you are
attempted to use.
If you are not attempted to use a fixed IP address for the router, and if you are attempted to use
DHCP given IP by a different network device, then modify the IPv4 address to the connecting
gateway –or other network device - IP address, and choose the Static address at the Protocol, the
DHCP client setting, and push the button.
Attention!
The reconfiguration of the SSID is highly recommended, which can be initiated by the
button.
Important!
The DHCP service is turned off for the router Ethernet interface, by default. Therefore, you have
to configure an IP address for you PC, manually.

Then the DHCP client will be activated for ethernet interface.
When you modified the settings, save them by the Save & Apply button.
1.10 DHCP, DNS settings
The DHCP service allows the automatic IP address providing for the connecting devices in the
current IP segment by the router.
The DHCP settings can be found at the Network menu, DHCP and DNS item.
If you attempted to enable the DHCP service, uncheck the Disable DHCP for this interface
option. Then the related parameter settings will be visible with their default settings.
The Start field means the starting IP addres in the subnet for the connecting devces (by default
192.168.x…). You can Limit how many IP addresses will be provided. The router will be providing
addresses for the connecting devices in the 192.168.x subnet within the Start and between the
Start+Limit address range (especially important for WiFi).
Save the settings with the Save & Apply button.
The further DHCP settings can be achieved at the Network menu, at the DHCP and DNS item,
General Settings tab.
Further settings can be found in the detailed the User Manual document:
http://www.m2mserver.com/en/products/m2m-router-pro
Important!
The DHCP service is disabled by the factory default configuration. First, you have to enable the
DHCP service for the usage and performing the further DHCP settings!
