3Setting up your router
3.1 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.).

3.1.3 Hardware installation
1. Push SIM card holder button, pull out the SIM holder, then insert SIM card which was given by your ISP (Internet
Service Provider) and push in the SIM holder. Correct SIM card orientation is shown in the picture.
2. Attach LTE 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 power source.
4. Connect to the device wirelessly (SSID: rut850).
3.1.4 Product installation
Mounting kit consist of 4 screws and double-side adhevise tape. Select a suitable surface and screw up or use
double-side adhevise tape for attaching the product. See examples below:
Here are couple examples of location for the installation places in vehicle:

11
3.2 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. Search wireless networks with your device. A list should pop up with all available
wireless networks. Select “rut850” and click connect. Then we launch our favorite 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:
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 RUT850!
From here on out you can configure almost any aspect of your router.

12
4Operation Modes
The RUT850 router supports various operation modes. It can be connected to the internet (WAN) via mobile or
via a wireless network. When connecting to the internet, you may also backup your main WAN connection with backup
connection. Any interface can act like backup if configured so. At first router uses its main WAN connection, if it is lost,
then router tries to connect via backup.

In later sections it will be explained, in detail, how to configure your router to work in a desired mode.
5Powering the device from higher voltage
If you decide to power the device from higher voltage (15 –30 VDC) please make sure that you choose power
supply of high quality. Some power supplies can produce voltage peaks significantly higher than the declared output
voltage, especially during connecting and disconnecting them.
While the device is designed to accept input voltage of up to 30 VDC peaks from high voltage power supplies can
harm the device. If you want to use high voltage power supplies it is recommended to also use additional safety
equipment to suppress voltage peaks from power supply.
