1. Registration
1.1. The MOBILROUTER products are industrial VPN routers developed for remote management. Their
management - settings and monitoring- is done on a password protected admin interface created
for the routers on www.mobilrouter.com..
1.2. The admin right of the routers is attached to user accounts. The first step is to create a user
account on www.mobilrouter.com by clicking on ’registration’ on the ’customer login’ panel.
(Figure 1) User identification is based on the email address and password given when registering
on the website. The fields marked with * are mandatory to be registered successfully. The
registration is completed by clicking on confirmation in the registration email sent to the user’s
email address.
Figure 1 Figure 2
2. Administration-adding the router to the user account
2.1. The user enters his own admin interface, using the user data created when registering, through
the ’Customer login’ panel on www.mobilrouter.com. The interface allows you to monitor and
manage all your purchased mobilrouter as well as connected IP devices.
2.2. When a new router is purchased and it does not appear on your interface, you need to click on
’Add router’ on the upper horizontal menu bar to create access to the newly added device.
2.3. The newly purchased router can be attached to the user account by entering the ’Router
identification number’ (6 digits) and the ’Product identification number’ (7 digits) in the ’Add
router’ section of the menu bar (Figure 2). Both identification numbers can be found on the
stickers placed on the product itself and its packaging.
2.4. Any other person (on your behalf, family member, colleague, etc) is entitled to administer the
device by registering the same way as explained above.

5
2.5. Important note! The above detailed identification numbers and user details should be kept in a
secure place. The devices can be added and administered from other user accounts created on the
servers of www.mobilrouter.com by using your private identification data. Be careful and place
special emphasis on security!
3. Connecting to the VPN server
3.1. The members of the MOBILROUTER family have been optimized to be fully managed remotely in
order to avoid having to physically go to the device to implement any configuration change.
Therefore the devices cannot be administered in offline mode. The router needs to be connected
on the internet to the VPN center which provides all connecting services in order to be fully
configured. The method of connection can be via mobile internet, or ethernet cable via the WAN
port of the routerl.
3.2. Wired connection: Connect your router’s WAN port by using 10/100 ethernet cable to a router
providing dynamic IPs (DHCP), to a cable modem, to a set top box or to any other internet
network. Once the automatic network configuration is completed, the router appears on the
admin interface in a few minutes after having been connected. Further settings can be remotely
done on the interface.
3.3. Connecting via mobile internet
3.3.1. SIM card: When connecting via mobile internet place a mobile internet enabled SIM card
into the socket of the SIM card that is next to the GSM antenna of the router, as shown in the
piktogram placed on the device. The SIM card socket is based on a so-called push/push
system, which means that the card can be removed by pushing it.
3.3.2. The type of the SIM card can be a size 25x15 mm mini SIM card. The usage of SIM cards
smaller than that – micro or nano – with transformator adapter is not recommended as
full contact cannot be guaranteed, which can disable connection via mobile internet or
can lead to the mechanical damage of the socket!
3.3.3. All SIM cards of any mobile internet providers with pre-paid or post-paid services can be
used since the VPN connection provided by the MOBILROUTER technology makes it possible
to access the router and the devices connected to it. Our technology works even with mobile
internet providers using NAT – in which case a standard 3G router is not able to provide
access to the connected devices not even with dyndns service.

6
3.3.4. Important note: PIN code protected SIM cards is not supported in any way by
MOBILROUTER devices. The PIN code protection needs to be disabled if it applies. This can
easily be done before using it for a MOBILROUTER device by placing it into a mobile phone
that is unlocked or attached to the given service provider’s network and deactivate the PIN
code function under the security settings.
3.3.5. Service provider’s APN settings
3.3.5.1.APN (Access Point Name) is a setting used by mobile service providers, which depends
on the service provider and in some cases on the service type-by having the details of
which mobile connection can be created. You can find the pre-stored APN codes of
some of the service providers and you can choose one to use for settings under ’Router
data edit/Mobile internet’ menu board where you can also set your own APN (Figure 3).
For further information on APN settings contact your mobile service provider. Entering
the APN setting is only required once prior to creating the first mobile internet
connection. If you change either service type or service provider you will need to enter
the APN setting again.
3.3.5.2. APN setting via wired internet connection: Connect the router as described in
paragraph 3.2. through the WAN port of the device via wired internet. On the admin
interface attached to the router you will find the ’Router data edit/Mobile internet’
menu bar. Here you will need to choose the name of the SIM card service provider and
the type of the service or by choosing ’Other’ enter your APN setting, then click on
’save’. (Figure 4) After this leave the router on the wired connection for at least 30
seconds and only then unplug it. If the SIM card is in the router the mobil internet
connection is created in a few minutes. Important note! The above described settings
on the admin interface can only be done if the router is online, that is connected to the
internet!
Figure 3 Figure 4

7
3.3.5.3. APN setting via sending sms: If you are unable to connect your router to the admin
interface via wired internet connection, sending an sms can be the alternative you can
opt for. If choosing this method, send an sms to the SIM card used for MOBILROUTER
with the following content. ’APN: serviceproviderapnsettings’, for example: „APN:
internet”. When sending the sms the device does not necessarily have to be switched
on. When the router with the SIM card is switched on, the router gets connected in 2-3
minutes and the device appears on the admin interface. In case the router does not
appear on the admin interface in more than 3-5 minutes reset the router by switching it
off and on again and wait for the connection to be created.
4. The internet connection of MOBILROUTER
connecting MOBILROUTER devices to the internet can be done by wired connection on the WAN port
of the device or via mobile internet attached to the SIM card used. The router has an automatic ’failover
backup’ function, which means that if both the previously mentioned WAN connections are activated,
the wired route is of the higher priority and so data traffic will be routed this direction. If for any reason
internet connection is not provided in the mentioned route the router will automatically divert data
traffic to mobile internet. If wired internet connection is restored the router automatically routes data
traffic in 20 seconds to the wired WAN interface.
5. The services and usage of the admin interface
5.1. The structure of the admin interface (Figure 5)
5.1.1. Left side vertical menu bar: the routers and all connected IP devices can be managed on the
admin interface attached to the user account. The names of the routers attached to the user
accounts can be seen on the vertical menu bar on the left side. By clicking on the names of
the routers you will be able to manage the devices on the right hand side panel. The name of
the routers are the identification numbers as a default. This can be freely altered. The
horizontally crossed off router name indicates that the given router is offline. When doing the
basic settings of the routers, they can be classified into groups named individually. These will
also appear on the left side router list.

5.1.2. Right side settings panel
It consists of 4 horizontal sections, which are as follows from top to bottom:
•Router: name, internal IP, status and the edit button
•PingBrother PO switches: name, status, parameters and the edit button. This section is
optional appearing only if the given router is connected to a PingBrother switch. This
applies to the following routers: GTRP106, GTRPO106. These integrate PingBrother 104POE
switch.
•Connected IP devices section: this is where you can find the name, the status, the
parameters of the connected devices as well as the edit button. If there are no IP devices
connected to the router this section will not appear on the admin interface.
•The configuration menu bars of the router, POE switch or the connected IP devices appear
in the lower section of the right hand side field, depending on which settings menu bar of
the device or its components are opened by clicking the edit button.
5.1.3. Apart from the edit buttons you can use the icons showing the geographical position of the
router or routers on a map. The tools that offer further functionalities are underlined.
5.2. Router settings
5.2.1. Basic settings: individual name given to the router, group classification defined, GPS co-
ordinates given to show geographical position. (Figure 6)
Figure 6

10
5.2.2. Map
The router’s position appears on a map if GPS co-ordinates are given at basic settings or the
router is equipped with GPS receiver. With the help of the button in the upper right hand side
of the map, you can set the map to appear in a separate browser window.
5.2.3. Wireless
The Wifi interface of the router can be switched on or off here. Also, the most important
parameteres of the radio access point such as frequency, mode (802.11b/g/n), the method
and keys of SSID and password protection. Please bear in mind that the settings menu bar
will appear depending on the speed of the GSM network, in some cases in 2-6 seconds after
pressing the Wireless button. The data displayed is retrieved by the dispatch server from the
device via mobile internet network. (Figure 7)
Figure 7 Figure 8
5.2.4. Mobile internet
This is where you set the service provider’s APN to create mobile internet connection. As
described in 3.3.5.2.
5.2.5. IP settings
MOBILROUTER automatically allocates internal IPs to the dynamic IP devices connected to it.
These cannot be changed as the allocation of the user defined public accesses are attached
to them. If the user wants to connect his devices that belong to his own internal IP to the

11
router, it is possible to define 2 manually created internal sub-networks which are called
’Private’ and ’Hotspot’. You can switch the DHCP server on and off in your own, defined range
and can also define the IP range allocated by the DHCP server.(Figure 8)
5.2.6. Interface settings
You can categorize here the 4 internal LAN and WIFI interfaces one by one into IP sub-
networks. It can be decided if they should be in the range of the VPN allocated by the system
or of the user defined PRIVATE or HOTSPOT. If you allocate multiple interfaces to one IP range,
these interfaces connect to the group of the bridge set in the range of the chosen IP. Example
to illustrate: this way you can set that the IP cameras connected to the lan port 1 and 2 of the
router are allocated VPN internal IPs generated by the system. Public access can be defined to
this internal IP via the VPN tunnel from any other internet network, while the PCs connected
to the router WIFI and the interface of 3 and 4 ethernet are routed to the user defined range
of another IP. Avoiding the VPN tunnel, they connect to the internet directly via wired WAN or
mobile internet connection.
5.2.7. Status update
By ticking the box here you can ask for regular updates on the changes of the online and
offline statuses of the router. The system will automatically send updates to the email address
provided if the router is disconnected from the server and if the connection is back again.
5.2.8. Deleting a router
Having deleted the router it will no longer appear on the interface of the user account.
Imporant note! All settings connected to the router will be deleted and cannot be
restored!
5.3. The settings of PingBrother POE switches
5.3.1. General information on PingBrother switches:
The central admin interface attached to the MOBILROUTER products is able to remotely
manage PingBrother POE switches. This is extended functionality and service level and
therefore some of our MOBILROUTER products are distributed with these hardware
components integrated. By using this application, the following extra services are available:
•provide power for 802.3.af standard or midspan passive POE IP devices
•POE power can be switched on and off remotely from the admin interface.
•monitoring the voltage of the router and the switch
•the temperature of the environment can be monitored by optional outer temperature
sensor
•4 pieces of nc/no contact management output with the following inputs: remote
management on the admin interface; user defined automatic intervention in case of

12
change in temperature; user defined automatic intervention as an answer to the order
received from the IP watchdog function of the device.
•IP watchdog function: by setting this function it intervenes on the switch POE feed output
or by switching the contact management if a user defined monitored host ’froze’, that is it
does not respond to ping (icmp echo request) or its web server does not give regular http
answers.
•email notification and log about events and automatic interventions.
Further information about PingBrother on www.pingbrother.com. Product brochure and manual
are both available for download on www.mobilrouter.com as well.
5.3.2. The IP settings of the PingBrother switches
If you have purchased the PingBrother switch integrated into your MOBILROUTER product, its
IP settings are pre-configured in a way that its services are available and can be modified
on the admin interface. Therefore please do not change these. You can easily connect a
PingBrother switch to your MOBILROUTER product subsequently. In this case please follow
the below instructions when choosing an IP:
The first part of the switch IP is „10.”. The second and third parts are the same, as the third and
fourth parts of the connected router, and the last part can be chosen between 2-9. For
example: If you want to connect an additional POE switch to a GTRP106 router with product
number 101167, and internal IPv4 address 10.100.101.167, the IP address of the new switch
should be between 10.101.167.3-10.101.167.10, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, gateway
10.101.167.1. In this example the chosen Ip address is between 3 and 10, because the address
10.1.167.2 is already used by the originally integrated PingBrother switch. A maximum of 9
PingBrother switches can be connected to a MOBILROUTER.
5.3.3. Settings of the switches on the admin interface
The following settings are available on the MOBILROUTER admin interface:
5.3.3.1.Temperature
the temperature data measured by the temperature sensors of the POE switch is
available for to the latest half an hour, hour and the date of the given day. Or with the
help of a calendar you can go back to the day the device was installed.
(Figure 9)

13
Figure 9
5.3.3.2.LOG
The diary of the monitored events set in the POE switch and the automatic reactions to
them can be seen here.
5.3.3.3.Settings
The POE switch and the names of their output channels can be modified here. With the
help of this the exact role and function of the device can be reviewed on the user
interface. It can also be seen what further devices with which output channels are set to
be managed.
5.3.3.4.Channels
The 4 channels of the switch can be set here. Powering the connected POE devices can
be switched on and off on the admin interface depending on how the devices were
installed and what hardware settings apply. Also, other devices can be switched thanks
to the contact outputs.

14
5.3.3.5.Deleting PingBrother
The PingBrother switch can be deleted here. Once deleted the device will no longer
appear on the user interface. Important note! All settings attached to the switch will
be deleted and can never be restored!
5.4. Settings of connected IP devices
5.4.1. Connecting IP devices
It was an important goal when developing the MOBILROUTER system that installing the
products should be quick, easy and cost-effective. Therefore what you should do is easy: the
IP device that you want to remotely manage should be set to dynamic (DHCP client)
configuration and connected to MOBILROUTER or to the PingBrother switch attached to it.
The switched on IP device appears in the right hand side of the admin interface in a few
minutes under the name ’default’ while its physical address and the allocated internal IP. If
multiple devices are connected to the router it is best to connect them one after the other, re-
naming them on the admin interface in order to be able to identify them easily at a later
stage. Another alternative is if you make notes of the order of connecting the devices or the
physical addresses of the devices based on which the devices can be identified.
5.4.2. Information on allocated internal IPs
the IPs allocated to the connected IP devices do not change if connected to an interface set in
the VPN range as described in section 5.2.6. because the allocated IPs in this range remain
attached to the physical addresses of the devices until the user keeps the given device on the
admin interface. If deleted, it will no longer appear.
5.4.3. Using manually configured IP for connected devices
As per section 5.4.2. the dynamically allocated IPs themselves do not change-apart from
when the user intervenes- and so in order to ensure continuous access the connected devices
do not have to be set for a fix IP. If for any reason the connected device cannot be dynamicaly
set (DHCP client) there is a way to manually set an IP in the VPN range as well. The first part of
the devices IP is „10.”. The second and third parts are the same, as the third and fourth parts
of the connected router, and the last part can be chosen between 10.101.167.11-
10.101.167.99. For example: If you want to connect an IP device with fixed IP settings to a
GTRP106 router with product number 101167, and internal IPv4 address 10.100.101.167, the
IP address of the new IP device should be between 10.101.167.11-10.101.167.99, subnet
mask: 255.255.255.0, gateway 10.101.167.1. In this example the chosen Ip address is between
11 and 99, because the address rage 10.1.167.2 – 10.1.167.10 is already reserved for
PingBrother switces, and the address range 10.101.167.101-10.101.167.254 is the VPN address
pool of the MOBILEROUTER.

15
5.4.4. Settings of the connected IP devices on the admin interface
The list of your connected devices can be found in the right hand side column of the admin
interface under ’Connected IP devices’. You can have a glimpse of the names of all the
devices, their physical and IP addresses, their online or offline statuses. If a PingBRother POE
switch is connected you can see which port of which switch is the connected one. By clicking
the edit button next to the name of the device you will access the following settings:
5.4.4.1.Details of the IP device
The name of the device can be changed here. If the connection is through a POE switch
you can define allocation to a PingBrother name and to the number of the channel it
was connected to. If the device has a starting page in the browser its public url can be
defined under ’Link’, with the help of which it is one click away on the top tool menu bar
under ’online status’. More information on generating public url can be found in section
5.4.4.2. The ’Snapshot link’ menu bar: can be used if in the case of a connected IP
camera or DVR the device has a url through which the live image can be ’stolen’ from
the device, which appears under the menu bar in edit mode on the admin interface so
the identification process gets easier.
Figure 10
5.4.4.2.Port Forward
By defining these settings your IP devices connected to MOBILROUTER will be

16
accessable to be remotely managed from anywhere. The ports necessary to operate the
given devices can be defined by clicking on ’new port’ under the ’add port’ tab. You
enter the number of the port in the input field and choose the right value under ’type’
(TCP or UDP). (Figure 10) Prior to pressing the ’save’ button multiple ports can be
defined at the same time. A maximum of 50 ports can be defined for a router, which
refers to all of the connected IP devices together. If you need to have more than 50
ports or you want to provide fully public IP for the device connected to the router,
please contact our support team. Having clicked on the ’save’ button the system
automatically allocates public IPV4 address and port to the given ports of the devices.
The values of the allocation can be reviewed by re-entering the menu bar of ’Port
Forward’. With the help of the newly generated public IP/port access the device can be
accessable from the browser or mobile device for DVR, NVR client or other remote
management software. The automatically allocated public access does not change and
remain accessable as long as the user does not delete the device, the port or the
connected router from the system. Port Forward function is available for devices which
are connected to interfaces that are allocated to the VPN IP sub-network in the menu
bar of the router interface settings as described in 5.2.6. When a device is connected to
the system for the first time (to the TCP port 80 which is the default http port of the
browsers) the system generates a public access without intervention. If this function is
not needed it can be deleted under ’delete port’ tab. The user created but no longer
needed port forward setting can also be deleted the same way as described above.
5.4.4.3.Status alert
By ticking this box status update request can be set. You need to enter your email
address and or telephone number. The system will send email or sms notification if the
offline/online status of the device changes or the device gets disconnected from the
router and if the connection is restored. Important note! Sending sms updates may
be charged as described in the subscription contract attached to the SIM card
placed in the router.
5.4.4.4.Deleting a device
the connected device can be deleted in this menu bar. Once deleted the device will no
longer appear on the user interface. Important note! all of the settings attached to
the device get deleted and can no longer be restored!
