Firstly power off the router, and press the out button of the SIM/UIM card outlet with a needle
object. Then the SIM/UIM card sheath will flick out at once. Put SIM/UIM card into the card
sheath (Pay attention to put the side which has metal point outside), and insert card sheath back to
the SIM/UIM card outlet.
Warning: Forbid to install SIM/UIM card when powered!
Installation of antenna:
Screw the SMA male pin of the cellular antenna to the female SMA interface of the router
with sign “WWAN”.
Screw the SMA female pin of the WIFI antenna to the male SMA interface of the router with
sign “WIFI”.
Warning: The cellular antenna and the WIFI antenna can not be connected wrongly. And the
antennas must be screwed tightly, or the signal quality of antenna will be influenced!
Installation of cable:
Insert one end of the network cable into the switch interface with sign “Local Network”, and
insert the other end into the Ethernet interface of user’s device. The signal connection of network
direct cable is as follows:

3.1 Configuration Connection
Before configuration, you should connect the router and your configuration PC with the
supplied network cable. Plug the cable’s one end into the Local Network port of the router, and
another end into your configure PC’s Ethernet port. The connection diagram is as following:
Please modify the IP address of PC as the same network segment address of the router, for
instance, 192.168.1.9. Modify the mask code of PC as 255.255.255.0 and set the default gateway
of PC as the router’s IP address (192.168.1.2).
3.2 Access the Configuration Web Page
The chapter is to present main functions of each page. Users visit page tool via web browser
after connect users' PC to the router. There are eleven main pages: Setting, Wireless, Service, VPN,
Security, Access Restrictions, NAT, QoS Setting, Applications, Management and Status. Users
enable to browse slave pages by click one main page.
Users can open IE or other explorers and enter the router's default IP address of 192.168.1.2
on address bar, then press the botton of Enter to visit page Web management tool of the router.
The users login in the web page at the first name, there will display a page shows as blow to tip
users to modify the default user name and password of the router. Users have to click "change
password" to make it work if they modify user name and password.
