2.0 Quick Start
This QUICK START guide will walk you through the setup and process required to access the
WebUI configuration window and to establish a basic wireless connection to your carrier.
Note that the units arrive from the factory with the Local Network setting configured as
‘Static’ (IP Address 192.168.168.1, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, and Gateway
192.168.168.1), in DHCP server mode. (This is for the LAN Ethernet Adapter on the back of
the IPnXGii unit.
2.1 Installing the SIM Card
 Before the IPnXGii can be used on a cellular network a valid SIM Card for your Wireless
Carrier must be installed. Insert the SIM Card into the slot as shown, the top SIM slot is
for SIM1:
2.2 Getting Started with Cellular
 Connect the Antenna’s to the applicable ANTENNA jack’s of the IPnXGii.
 Connect the power connector to the power adapter and apply power to the unit, the CPU
LED will flash during boot-up, once on solid, proceed to the next step.
SIM Card Slot
To reset to factory
defaults, press and hold
the CFG button for 8
seconds with the IPnXGii
powered up. The LED’s
will flash quickly and the
IP4G will reboot with
factory defaults.
Use the MHS-supplied
power adapter or an
equivalent power source.
The unit can also be powered
via PoE using a MHS PoE
injector.

2.0 Quick Start
 Connect A PC configured for DHCP directly to the LAN port of the IPnXGii, using an
Ethernet Cable. If the PC is configured for DHCP it will automatically acquire a IP Address
from the IPnXGii.
 Open a Browser Window and enter the IP address 192.168.168.1 into the address bar.
 The IPnXGii will then ask for a Username and Password. Enter the factory defaults listed
below.
192.168.168.1
The factory default network
settings:
IP: 192.168.168.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.168.1
The Factory default login:
User name: admin
Password: admin
The factory default login:
User name: admin
Subnet: admin
It is always a good idea to
change the default admin
login for future security.

 Once successfully logged in, the System Summary page will be displayed.
 As seen above under Carrier Status, the SIM card is installed, but an APN has not been
specified. Setting the APN to auto (default) may provide quick network connectivity, but
may not work with some carriers, or with private APN’s. To set or change the APN, click
on the Carrier > Settings tab and enter the APN supplied by your carrier in the APN field.
Some carriers may also require a Username and Password.
 Once the APN and any other required information is entered to connect to your carrier,
click on “Submit”.
 Verizon Models do not require a APN and will Auto Connect if a valid SIM card is inserted.
2.0 Quick Start
Auto APN: The IPnXGii will
attempt to detect the carrier
based on the SIM card
installed and cycle through a
list of commonly used APN’s
to provide quick network
connectivity.

 On the Carrier > Status Tab, verify that a WAN IP Address has been assigned by your
carrier. It may take a few minutes, so try refreshing the page if the WAN IP Address
doesn’t show up right away. The Activity Status should also show “Connected”.
 If you have set a static IP on your PC, you may need to add the DNS Servers shown in
the Carrier Status Menu to you PC to enable internet access.
 Congratulations! Your IPnXGii is successfully connected to your Cellular Carrier.
 To access devices connected to IPnXGii remotely, one or more of the following must be
configured: IP-Passthrough, Port Forwarding, DMZ. Another option would be to set up a
VPN.
 Ensure that all default passwords are changed to limit access to the modem.
 For best practices and to limit data charges it is critical to properly set up the firewall.
(Especially important for Public Static IP addresses.)
2.0 Quick Start
Ensure the default
passwords are changed.
Set up appropriate firewall
rules to block unwanted
incoming data.
