OptConnect mylo dura User manual

Quick Start Guide

Welcome to mylo dura
mylo dura is a compact 4G/5G Category M1 multi-carrier
cellular router perfectly suited for industrial applications
that require slower speed connectivity and the peace of
mind of redundant carrier connections.
mylo dura’s small size allows it to t almost anywhere.
Every mylo dura comes with OptConnect managed
wireless services and a lifetime license to Summit – the
management system designed for your phone, tablet, or
computer.
mylo dura also includes Glimpse™, and on board API that
responds to requests from your equipment’s software
and tells your equipment how the cellular connection is
performing. Only OptConnect has Glimpse™.
Follow steps 1 through 11 for a successful installation.

1. Identify mylo dura and its accessories
IMPORTANT
• Use only the included power adapter to maintain
warranty coverage.
• The identiers on the bottom of mylo are important.
• Your equipment’s IP settings are critical. See the steps on
the next pages.

2. Position the antenna
• Avoid placing the antenna inside equipment constructed
entirely or mostly of metal
• Position the antenna’s magnetic base on a metal surface
3-5 inches from any edge – location on a metal surface
can improve signal strength
• Orient the antenna
1. Point vertically upward (best)
2. Point vertically downward, routing antenna cable
away from antenna shaft (next best)
3. Point horizontally (least preferred)
• The position and orientation of the antenna can be
optimized in Step 4

3. Place mylo dura, connect antenna & power
• Place mylo dura in your equipment
• Route antenna lead to mylo dura
• Connect the antenna lead to mylo dura and fully tighten
• Route power adapter’s cord from power source to mylo
dura
• Connect power cord to mylo dura – ensure the green LED
next to the power port glows
• After 10-60 seconds, ensure the middle green LED glows or
ashes
IMPORTANT – when mylo dura powers on the rst time
it may download a software update. This is indicated by
a rapidly ashing middle green LED light for 1-2 minutes
followed by the LED going dark while mylo dura reboots. You
must allow this process to complete.

4. Maximize signal strength and quality
mylo dura may work well at this point. However, this step is
strongly recommended to avoid potential future issues.
1. Log in to the OptConnect Summit portal at
2. Click Total Devices link
3. Locate serial number on mylo dura and scroll to nd it
or type it in Search/Filter box and press Enter
4. Click mylo dura’s link to view Signal Strength in On
Demand Info section
5. Adjust antenna position by an inch or two
6. Click Refresh on Demand Info button – Important: mylo
dura can take 15 seconds to update
7. Repeat steps 5-6 until signal strength is maximized and
signal quality is maximized
8. If it is not possible to maximize both signal strength and
quality, maximize quality
9. Recommended: enter your device’s identied and
description
summit.optconnect.com

5. Congure your equipment for DHCP
If you wish to initiate a remote connection to your
equipment from your host, do not use DHCP. Got to Step 6
to set up a Static IP.
• Set your equipment to obtain an IP address through
DHCP

6. Optionally Congure your equipment for
Static IP
Skip to step 7 if you do not need to initiate a connection
from your host to your equipment through mylo dura
• Set your equipment as follows:
• If you have a second piece of equipment to which you
need to initiate a connection from your host, congure it
as above with an IP address of 192.168.1.12
IP address
Subnet mask
Gateway
DNS server 1
DNS server 2
192.168.1.11
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.90
192.168.1.90
8.8.8.8

7. Connect ethernet cable and test
• Connect the ethernet cable to your equipment and to
mylo dura – ensure the amber LED next to the ethernet
port glows or ashes
• Restart your equipment or cause it to refresh its network
environment
• Perform a test with your equipment
• If the test fails
1. Restart your equipment
2. Conrm your equipment’s IP conguration (see Step
5 or Step 6)
3. If your equipment is using a DHCP IP address,
conrm it has been issued one by mylo dura, ex.
192.168.1.115
4. Repeat test
