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.

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!

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)

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
