Setting up your router
Installation
After you unpack the box, follow the steps, documented below, in order to properly connect the device. For better Wi-
Fi performance, put the device in clearly visible spot, as obstacles such as walls and door hinder the signal.
1. First assemble your router by attaching the necessary antennas and inserting the SIM card.
2. To power up your router, please use the power adapter included in the box. (IMPORTANT: Using a different
power adapter can damage and void the warranty for this product.).
3. If you have a wired broadband connection you will also have to connect it to the WAN port of the router.

SIM Card
1. Remove back panel and insert SIM card which was given by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Correct SIM
card orientation is shown in the picture.
2. Attach GSM (LTE) main and Wi-Fi antennas.
3. Connect the power adapter to the socket on the front panel of the device. Then plug the other end of the power
adapter into a wall outlet or power strip.
4. Connect to the device wirelessly (SSID: Teltonika) or use Ethernet cable and plug it into any LAN Ethernet port.
Logging in
After you’re complete with the setting up as described in the section above, you are ready to start logging into your
router and start configuring it. This example shows how to connect on Windows 7. On windows Vista: click Start ->
Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Centre -> Manage network Connections -> (Go to step 4). On Windows XP: Click

12
Start -> Settings -> Network Connections -> (see step 4) -> You wont’s see “Internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4)”,
instead you’ll have to select “TCP/IP Settings” and click options -> (Go to step 6)
We first must set up our network card so that it could properly communicate with the router.
1. Press the start button
2. Type in “network connections”, wait for the results to pop up.

13
3. Click “View network connections”
4. Then right click on your wireless device that you use to connect to other access points (It is the one with the
name “Wireless Network Connection” and has signal bars on its icon).
5. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click Properties

14
6. By default the router is going to have DHCP enabled, which means that if you select “Obtain an IP address
automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”, the router should lease you an IP and you should
be ready to login.
7. If you choose to configure manually here’s what you do:
First select an IP address. Due to the stock settings that your router has arrived in you can only enter an IP in the
form of 192.168.1.XXX , where XXX is a number in the range of 2-254 (192.168.1.2 , 192.168.1.254 ,
192.168.1.155 and so on… are valid; 192.168.1.0 , 192.168.1.1 , 192.168.1.255 , 192.168.1.699 and so on… are
not). Next we enter the subnet mask: this has to be “255.255.255.0”. Then we enter the default gateway: this
has to be “192.168.1.1”. Finally we enter primary and secondary DNS server IPs. One will suffice, though it is
good to have a secondary one as well as it will act as a backup if the first should fail. The DNS can be your
routers IP (192.168.1.1), but it can also be some external DNS server (like the one Google provides: 8.8.8.8).

15
Right click on the Wireless network icon and select Connect / Disconnect. A list should pop up with all available wireless
networks. Select “Teltonika” and click connect.
Then we launch our favourite browser and enter the routers IP into the address field:
Press enter. If there are no problems you should be greeted with a login screen such as this:

16
Enter the default password, which is “admin01” into the “Password” field and then either click Login with your mouse or
press the Enter key. You have now successfully logged into the router and should see the Status page.
From here on out you can configure almost any aspect of your router.
Operation Modes
The RUT550 router supports various operation modes. It can be connected to the internet (WAN) via LTE, standard
Ethernet cable or via a wireless network. If you connect to the internet via an Ethernet cable of Wi-Fi, you may also
backup your connection with LTE for added stability. On every case except when you connect to the internet via Wi-Fi,
you can distribute your internet via an Ethernet cable (3 ports) and/or a wireless network. When you connect via Wi-Fi,
you cannot have Wi-Fi in your LAN.

Powering Options
The RUT550 router can be powered from power socket (1) or over Ethernet port. Depending on your network
architecture you can use LAN 3 (2) or WAN (3) Ethernet port to power the device.
RUT550 can be powered either from power socket or either over Ethernet. Do not connect power supplies to both
power inputs simultaneously.
Also do not use LAN3 and WAN port for powering RUT550 simultaneously.
Use pin 5 of Ethernet port to supply positive voltage and connect pins 7 and 8 ground. Even though only pin 5 is used in
router for positive voltage input, there is a posibility to connect power supplies that uses both pins 4 and 5 for positive
voltage. To power RUT550 using LAN3 or WAN ethernet ports, please make sure, that all jumpers from the pins
J4.1,J4.2, J3.1,J3.2 (show in a picture below) are removed, because there is a great risk of damaging a power supply!
To check if the jumpers were mounted, you need to remove front panel (the one with power socket).
Though the device can be powered over Ethernet port it is not compliant with IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard. Powering
RUT550 from IEEE 802.3af-2003 power supply will damage the device as it is not rated for input voltages of PoE
standard.

18
Using terminal block for power input
If you bought RUT550 with a 3.5mm contact pitch terminal block for power input instead of traditional 5.5x2.5mm
power socket, below there is an instruction on how to power up router.
1. Loosen the screws on the top of the plug, so that the wires could fit into the plug holes. Use a screwdriver
with a flat tip.
2. Strip the ends of the wires (strip length 5-6mm ), then place the positive and negative wires into the plug as
shown in the picture below. Make sure to use the same wire polarity like in the picture. Use wire size of 14-
18 AWG (1.02-1.63mm in diameter).
3. After wire is inserted, tighten the screws on the plug.
4. Insert the plug into the socket on the router:

19
5. The other end of the wire needs to be connected to the power supply of your choise.
Recomended wattage of power supply:
≥9W (for powering only RUT550)
≥24W (for powering RUT550 and four MVC300 cameras connected to it )
In a RUT550+MVC300 solution, recomended power supply voltage is ≥12V, especially when cameras are far
away from RUT550, connected with long RJ45 cables.

20
Powering MVC300 cameras
All RUT550 ethernet ports have the ability to supply power for the connected MVC300 cameras using ethernet port pins
4 and 5 (4 is connected to ground, 5-positive voltage).To supply power for the connected MVC300 camera(s) from
RUT550, first you need to remove the front and back panels, then take the PCB out of the metal enclosure. Now place a
jumper on the contact pins associated with the LAN port that you connect your camera to. By default, all the jumpers
are removed.
Port 1 - place jumper on contacts J1
Port 2 - place jumper on contacts J2
Port 3 - place jumpers on J3.1 and J3.2
