Controls
The reset button is positioned behind the tiny hole near the ground terminal
screw on the front panel. It can be used to restart the unit, enable the serial
console port and to restore the factory default settings.
Restart
The unit is restarted by pressing the reset button for 1 second.
Serial RS-232 port console mode
The serial RS-232 port is normally used for the internal serial port gateway.
However, for configuration without IP network access or for maintenance
purposes, the serial port gateway can be disabled and command line access is
enabled via the serial port.
To enable the serial port console mode, press and hold the reset button while
connecting the power. Then release the reset button. After the system is started
up, the DCD LED will go on to indicate that the port is in console mode. The
RS-232 port will remain in this state until the power is disconnected.
The RS-232 port is of the type DCE and can be connected to a serial port of a
PC by means of a straight male to female cable or a USB to RS-232 serial
converter. The data rate and format is 115200, 8, N.
Factory default settings
To reset the unit to its original factory default settings, power on the unit and
wait at least 60 seconds. Then press and hold the reset button for more than 5
seconds until the PWR, DSL, PPP and VPN LEDs start blinking. Then release
the reset button. The unit will restart within 15 seconds.
After a restart with restored factory settings, the following settings will apply:
•LAN IP address: 192.168.1.1
•user name: admin
•password: rsa-admin
Custom default settings
When custom default settings are present (custom defaults settings are made
by the user, not the factory ), the procedure as described above will force a
reset to the custom default settings. To force factory default settings when a
custom defaults file is present, wait at least 60 seconds after power on and then
press and hold the reset button for more than 30 seconds. The unit will restart
within 15 seconds.

Installation
This chapter covers the hardware installation procedure.
Power connection
Connect the power cable to the screw terminal socket called PWR. The unit can
be powered from low voltage DC or AC sources. The voltage range indication
(Vr1, Vr2 or Vr3) is printed on the serial number label.
Refer to page 20 (Power supply) for specification of the voltage ranges.
Note: The power input of the RSA-4x22 is not polarised. You can connect DC
power in either direction.
DSL line connection
If the line is used only for connecting the RSA unit and no telephony service is
needed, then the line can be connected directly to the DSL connector.
If, apart from the DSL service, telephone service is required, then a splitter must
be added.
Note: Use the appropriate splitter for the telephone service:
- a “POTS (PSTN) splitter” for use with traditional telephone service (Annex A).
- an “ISDN splitter” for use with ISDN service (Annex B).
For VDSL2 services, make sure that the splitter is suitable for VDSL.
•Connect the outside telephone line (coming from the telephone
exchange/DSLAM) with the splitter port called “LINE”
•Connect the splitter port called “Phone” with the telephone set or
ISDN NT.
•Connect the splitter port called “Modem” or “DSL” with the LINE
connector of the modem.
When properly connected to the line, the DSL LED of the modem shall start
blinking within 1 minute after power-on. When the DSL connection is
established, the DSL LED is On continuously. The actual Internet connection
will not be established until the unit is configured with the correct parameters
(like VPI/VCI, and ATM Encapsulation Protocol). These parameters are
provided by your ISP.
Ethernet cable(s)
The Ethernet ports support 10/100baseT, HD or FD with Auto-MDI/MDIX
feature. The ports will automatically adapt to the operating mode of the
connected device and will automatically make a straight or crossed connection.
When the unit is powered on and the Ethernet cable is properly connected
between the unit’s Ethernet port and the Ethernet device, the green (link) LED
at the Ethernet connector unit will be on. When data passes over the Ethernet
cable, the link will briefly blink off. When connected in 100baseT mode, the
yellow LED will be on.

User Guide – Hardware Details and Installation Industrial remote access router - RSA-series
Page 16
RS-232 connection
The RS-232 port of the unit is of the type “DCE”, which means that it has the
pin-out and behaviour of a (DB9) serial port of a modem.
The port can be connected directly to the serial port of a PC using a straight
“DB9-male to DB9-female” or “DB9-male to DB25-female” cable. It can also
Connect directly to a USB-to-Serial converter cable.
For connecting to the serial port of another DCE device, a “crossed DB9-male
to DB9/DB25-male” cable is used. See chapter 5.
RS-485 connection
The RS-485 port of the unit is factory configured for both 2-wire and 4-wire
operation. This means that the RS-485 port can receive data from the RS-485
bus at both pins 1/4 and pins 2/3.
To disable the receive data input on pins 2/3, select “4-wire only” in the RS-485
port setup page. In “4-wire only” mode, pins 2 and 3 of the RS-485 connector
are only used for transmitted data (like for an RS-422 interface) but still go into
high impedance mode while not transmitting. This allows the 4-wire interface to
be used for both point-to-point and multidrop circuits.
Note:
The RS-485 inputs are biased with 10kΩ to the internal signal ground and 3,3V.
SIM card insertion (W3/W4-versions only)
The SIM card slot is located at the rear of the unit. The SIM card tray can be
removed by pressing the eject button adjacent to the card tray. Place the SIM
card in the card tray and reinsert the card tray making sure it is inserted
correctly in the card slot.
Note: Make sure to enter the correct SIM PIN. When a wrong PIN is detected,
no further action is taken is taken until the next restart of the unit.
After 3 restarts with the wrong PIN, the SIM will be locked and the PUK code
must be entered to unlock the SIM card.

Introduction
The RSA series routers can be configured by means of:
•Web browser interface (HTTP or HTTPS).
•Command line interface (telnet, SSH or RS-232 port*).
Note*: command line access over the serial RS-232 port is possible when the
RS-232 port is set to console mode or CLI mode.
To enable the serial port as console port, keep the reset button pressed while
the power is connected and release the button when the power LED is on.
The serial port will remain in this state until the power is disconnected.
CLI mode can be enabled in the web interface under Tools>Serial CLI
The RS-232 port is of the type DCE and can be connected to a serial port of a
PC by means of a straight male-to-female cable or a USB to RS-232 serial
converter. The data rate and format is 115200 bit/s, 8 bit, No parity.
The factory default access credentials are:
•LAN IP address: 192.168.1.1
