Installation and configuration
of the NTC-6000 Series router
Powering the router
The NTC-6000 Series router can be powered in one of two ways:
1. DC power input via 2-pin connector (8-28V DC)
2. DC power input via field terminated power source (8-28V DC)
The red power LED on the router lights up when a power source is connected.
DC power via 2-pin connector
The DC input jack can accept power from a separately sold DC power supply. Both a standard temperature range DC power
supply and an extended temperature range DC power supply are available to purchase as accessories.
To supply the router with DC Power via the 2-pin connector, remove the attached green terminal block from your router and
connect the external DC power supply to the router’s green DC power jack.
DC power via field terminated power source
If an existing 8-28V DC power supply is available, you can insert the wires into the supplied terminal block to power your router. Use
a flathead screwdriver to tighten the terminal block screws and secure the power wires, making sure the polarity of the wires are
correctly matched for your particular unit, as illustrated below.
Installing the router
After you have mounted the router and connected a power source, follow these steps to complete the installation process.
1. Connect equipment that requires network access to the Ethernet port of your router. This may be your computer for
advanced configuration purposes, or your end equipment which requires data access via the NTC-6000 Series router. You
can connect one device directly, or several devices using a network switch.
2. Ensure the external power source is switched on and wait 2 minutes for your NTC-6000 Series router to start up. To
check the status of your router, compare the LED indicators on the device with those listed in the LED Indicators section of
this guide.

Table 8 - Data connection item details
Connecting to the mobile broadband network
The router supports the configuration of up to six APN profiles; these profiles allow you to configure the settings that the router will
use to connect to the 2G/3G network and switch easily between different connection settings.
For advanced networking purposes, you may activate a maximum of two profiles simultaneously (dependant on network support).
When activating two connection profiles, you should avoid selecting two profiles with the same APN as this can cause only one
profile to connect. Similarly, activating two profiles which are both configured to automatically determine an APN can cause a
conflict and result in neither profile establishing a connection. We recommend that the two active connection profiles have differing,
manually configured APNs to avoid connection issues and ensure smooth operation.
Manually configuring a connection profile
To manually configure a connection profile:
1. Click the Edit button corresponding to the Profile that you wish to modify. The data connection profile settings page is
displayed.
Figure 9 - Data connection profile settings

www.netcommwireless.com
NetComm Wireless 3G M2M Router
RouterRouter/
17
2. Click the Profile toggle key to turn the profile on. Additional settings appear.
Figure 10 - Data connection settings - Profile turned on
3. In the Profile name field, enter a name for the profile. This name is only used to identify the profile on the router.
4. Ensure that the Automatic APN selection toggle key is set to off. If it is not, click it to toggle it to the off position.
5. In the APN field, enter the APN Name (Access Point Name) and if required, use the Username and Password fields to
enter your login credentials.
6. Next to Authentication type, select either CHAP or PAP depending on the type of authentication used by your provider.
7. The Reconnect delay field specifies the number of seconds to wait between connection attempts. The default setting of 30
seconds is sufficient in most cases but you may modify it to wait up to 65535 seconds if you wish.
8. The Reconnect retries field specifies the number of times to attempt a network connection if the router fails to establish a
connection. It is set to 0 by default which causes the router to attempt to reconnect indefinitely.
9. The Metric value is used by router to prioritise routes (if multiple are available) and is set to 20 by default. This value is
sufficient in most cases but you may modify it if you are aware of the effect your changes will have on the service.
10. The MTU field allows you to modify the Maximum Transmission Unit used on the connection. Do not change this unless
instructed to by your carrier.
11. Use the NAT Masquerading toggle key to turn NAT Masquerading on or off. NAT masquerading, also known simply as
NAT is a common routing feature which allows multiple LAN devices to appear as a single WAN IP via network address
translation. In this mode, the router modifies network traffic sent and received to inform remote computers on the internet
that packets originating from a machine behind the router actually originated from the WAN IP address of the router’s
internal NAT IP address. This may be disabled if a framed route configuration is required and local devices require WAN IP
addresses.

18
NetComm Wireless 3G M2M Router
www.netcommwireless.com
12. For advanced networking such as using dual simultaneous PDP contexts, you may wish to configure a particular profile to
route only certain traffic via that profile by configuring a custom address and mask of traffic to send via that profile. To do
this, in the Profile routing settings section, enter the Network address and Network mask of the remote network. If you do
not want to use this feature, or are unsure, please leave these fields blank, which will not designate any particular traffic to
be routed via this profile. For more information on configuring Profile routing settings, see the Setting a default gateway
with two active connection profiles example.
13. Click the Save button when you have finished entering the profile details.
Confirming a successful connection
After configuring the packet data session, and ensuring that it is enabled, click on the Status menu item at the top of the page to
return to the Status page. When there is a mobile broadband connection, the WWAN section is expanded showing the details of
the connection and the Status field displays Connected. To see details on the connected session, you can click the Show data
usage button.

Operator settings
The Operator settings page enables you to select which frequency band you will use for your connection and enables you to scan
for available network operators in your area.
Figure 12 - Band settings
Note: In order to change the operator’s band settings, the data connection must be disabled. When you access this page,
you are prompted to disable the data connection if it is already active.
You may want to do this if you’re using the router in a country with multiple frequency networks that may not all support High Speed
Packet Access (HSPA). You can select the router to only connect on the network frequencies that suit your requirements.
Use the Change band drop down list to select the band you wish to use.
The following band settings options are available:
NTC-6908
UMTS 850MHz, 2G
UMTS 850MHz Only

Table 9 - Band settings
It is not necessary to change the default setting of All bands in most cases. In fact, locking to a particular band can cause
connection difficulties if the device is moved to a location where the forced band selection is no longer available.
When All bands is selected, the router attempts to find the most suitable band based on the available networks for the inserted SIM
card.
The GSM All and the WCDMA all options allow you to force the device to lock to either 2G networks only, or 3G networks only.
Click the Save button to save and apply your selection.
