QUARTZ-GOLD
Software Manual
This manual is intended to describe how to congure the QUARTZ-GOLD LTE router
into a computer network so that it may be used as the gateway router either to a
WAN or the 4G LTE cellular network, with the option of automatic fallback between
the two. To complete network conguration, you will need to set up the QUARTZ-
GOLD using the built-in web server.
The reader of this hardware manual is expected to be educated to the level of at least
a networking technician to understand its contents.
This document covers all the software features and conguration aspects of the
QUARTZ-GOLD router. For physical installation of this product into a computer
network, please refer to the ‘QUARTZ-GOLD - Hardware Manual’.

QUARTZ-GOLD
Software Manual
Configuration
To congure the QUARTZ-GOLD, you must rst access the webserver integrated
into the router. You may do this either with a directly wired Ethernet connection to the
router (using either LAN port) or by WiFi. When connecting to the QUARTZ-GOLD for
the rst time, your computer will be assigned an IP address from the routers built in
DHCP server.
If connecting to the router by LAN, please turn off your computers WiFi, and make
sure that the PC is connected to the QUARTZ-GOLD and no other network device.
If connecting to the router via WiFi, please look for and connect to the WiFi network
broadcasting an SSID of “Router-Wi_<nnnnnn>”. <nnnnnn> is 6 digit hexadecimal
number being the last 6 digits of the WiFi’s MAC address. This will be the 2.4GHz
WiFi. The 5GHz WiFi has “_5G” appended to the SSID name (and will have a MAC
address differing by 1 count). The WiFi is open and has no password set. Ensure that
any wired Ethernet connections are unplugged from your PC.
By following the above instructions, you will ensure that your PC is only networked
with the QUARTZ-GOLD and will therefore obtain an IP address from the QUARTZ-
GOLD’s internal DHCP server. You may now connect to the internal web server using
a web browser and browsing the QUARTZ-GOLDs gateway address.
The settings that you will require are:
»Gateway Address: 192.168.1.1
»Username: admin
»Password: admin
Once connected, you will see the ‘Status > Overview’ page of the routers webserver,
as shown over page.
Connecting to the QUARTZ-GOLD Router
The QUARTZ-GOLD may be congured either using a web-based GUI (Graphical
User Interface) or by a CLI (Command Line Interface). As received, this will need to be
done with a local connection between the LAN port of the QUARTZ-GOLD and a PC
using an Ethernet cable. However, the router may be congured for remote access
subsequently (see Administration > Admin Access).

Important Warning
When rst connecting to the QUARTZ-GOLD, all settings will be at factory default.
This is so you can easily access the router for conguration, but this also means that
anyone else could as well.
To prevent the QUARTZ-GOLD and your network from being compromised, it is
recommended that you immediately do the following:
1. Change the login username/password. This can be done by accessing the
‘Administration > Admin Access’ page (that is also accessible from the password
warning at the top of the page)
2. Either enable Security on the WiFi and set a password, or disable the WiFi if not
being used. The 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi channels work independently, so they
independently need to be congured. This can be done by accessing the ‘WLAN
> Basic Settings’ page.

Tool Description
IP Address Enter the URL or IPv4 address of the target to be checked (DNS
lookup supported).
Ping Count Enter the number of ICMP packets to be sent.
Packet Size
Number of bytes of data payload that the ICMP packet must carry.
Click ‘Ping’ to start the test. Note that not all IP addresses support
ICMP ping. It can often be disabled to hide the IP address.
RX Bytes
Number of received bytes returned. Normally this is 8 bytes greater
than the packet sent as the return message normally contains the
rst 8 bytes of the message sent so that the sending process can
identify it.
TTL
Time to Live. This value is set by target IP address when it responds
to the ICMP packet (outgoing ICMP packets are sent with a
TTL=64).
RTT Round Trip Time (to the destinate address and back again).
+ / - Difference in RTT time from the previous ICMP packet

WOL
Wake on LAN (WOL). This allows a magic packet to be sent to wake up a networking
device on the local subnet.
Figure 9. Wake on LAN
The interface shows the current ARP list of the router. Clicking any entry in the ARP
list will send a magic packet to that MAC address.
You may also enter one or more MAC addresses in the MAC Address List eld.
Separate multiple MAC addresses with a space or new line. Click ‘Wake Up’ to send
the Magic Packet to all MAC addresses in the list. If your list is large, you can re-size
the eld by dragging the marker in the bottom right of the box. ‘Wake Up’ also saves
the MAC Address List – the list will persist through reboots.
Use hint: If a device is turned off, it will not appear in the ARP list. To use WOL
effectively, you need to plan ahead. The ARP list is only refreshed when you browse
to the page or hit the refresh button. Use the ARP list to identify the MAC addresses
of the devices that you want to control while they are on the network, and copy these
MAC addresses to the MAC Address List to be able to use them later.
