They allow switching as needed between mobile radio routers with high and medium
bandwidth and LAN routers
Advantages at a glance:
•Easy expansion of protected networks
•High-security data transfer via IPsec or OpenVPN tunnel, plus integrated
firewall
•Easy and identical configuration of router family over integrated web server, USB
stick or "remote"
•Compatible with mobile networks world-wide - can be used internationally
•Event alerts by SMS and email
•Top-hat rail mounting
•Integrated logbook records device-specific events
•Use of applications with RS232, RS485 or M-Bus interfaces on demand
•Use of integrated GPS receiver for positioning on demand (only MC-MRH)
•Delivered ready-to-use, including power supply plug, Ethernet connecting
cable and mobile radio antenna
•SIM cards are not included in standard scope of delivery.

1. Configuration via the integrated web interface
1.1 Preparations
1. Hook the router up to the power supply using connection P1 or P2.
2. To configure, connect the PC and the router to Ethernet port ETH1 or ETH2 using an Ethernet cable.
3. For configuration, you will need a browser (i.e. Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc.) on a PC
The router must be connected to the power supply. The PC to be used for configuration must be connected to an
Ethernet port on the router.
1.2 Configuration
1.2.1 Configuration via web interface
1. The PC must be set to "obtain IP address automatically." This setting is
the normal setting of a PC.
2. Open a browser on the PC.
3. Type the IP address (default: 192.168.0.1) in the address field.
4. A username and password must be entered for authentication. In the basic settings, the username "admin" and
password "admin" have been preset. Enter these into the corresponding fields. For your protection, this
password can be reset at anytime in the web interface at the following point in the menu: System/User (see
page 35.)
1.2.2 Local IP address is not known (or no longer known) - configuration button
To configure the router via the standard IP address again you will need the configuration key on the backside of the
device. This function does not reset the configuration. It just allows you temporary access to the integrated web
server with the standard access data, as described under
point 1.2.1.
1. Unplug the router from the power supply.
2. Use a pointy object to hold down the configuration button.
3. Plug the power supply back in.
4. Keep the configuration button pressed down until the LEDs on the router blink LED-
Test.)
You now have web management access with the standard access data. Please, check IP address parameters,
username and password for the router, and make any changes necessary.
1.2.3 Resetting all parameters
To reset all the parameters of the router to factory default settings, use the internal web interface. In the menu,
under System/Configuration Up-/Download, please click the Apply button for the "Reset to Factory Defaults"
function.

1.5.7 DynDNS
The router IP address in the cellular network/Internet is allocated dynamically by the mobile service operator. A
name can be allocated to the dynamic IP address through a DynDNS provider, through which the router can then
be reached over the Internet. The DynDNS Client must be saved and activated in the router accordingly.
Note: For this to work, the provider must have allocated a public IP address to the router, not a private one. This is
not the case with all providers. DynDNS cannot replace
a static IP address and has limited reliability.
DynDNS
Disable: Deactivate DynDNS client.
Enable: Activate DynDNS client.
Select the name of the provider with which you are registered,
i.e. DynDNS.org, TZO.com, dhs.org.
Enter the username for your DynDNS account here. Enter the
password for your DynDNS account here.

Your router can then be reached under this hostname.
