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 a clearly visible spot, as obstacles such as walls and doors hinder the signal.
1. First assemble your router by attaching the necessary antennas and inserting the SIM card(s).
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.

To find out your router’s modem brand, check the bottom of your router. You should find a sticker containing
information about the router (Serial, IMEI, LAN MAC, etc.). The first line is the router’s product code. The seventh
symbol of the code indicates the router’s modem:
Quectel: A, H, J, K, L, M, P
Huawei: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, B, F
Telit: 0, 2, G
Below is an example of a sticker with a Huawei modem (the modem symbol is highlighted in yellow)

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. 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
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). On Windows 10 type “Network and Sharing
Center” into the search bar and go there. In the navigation bar on the left side of the window click “Change adapter
settings” -> (go to step 4).
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

16
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
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 address and you should be ready to login.

RUT955 User‘s Manual

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 with, 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: “255.255.255.0”. Then we enter the
default gateway: “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 router’s IP (192.168.1.1), but it
can also be some external DNS server (like the one
Google provides: 8.8.8.8).
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 favorite browser and
enter the router’s 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 RUT955!
From here on out you can configure almost any aspect of your router.

4Operation Modes
The RUT9xx series router supports various operation modes. It can be connected to the internet (WAN) via mobile,
standard Ethernet cable or via a wireless network. When connecting to the internet, you may also backup your main
WAN connection with one or two backup connections. Any interface can act like backup if configured so. At first the
router uses its main WAN connection, if it is lost then the router tries to connect via backup with higher priority and if
that fails too, the router tries the second backup option.

5Powering Options
The RUT9xx router can be powered from a power socket or over an Ethernet port. Depending on your network
architecture you can use the LAN1 port to power the device.
RUT9xx can be powered from a power socket and over Ethernet simultaneously. The power socket has higher
priority meaning that the device will draw power from the power socket as long as it is available.
When RUT9xx is switching from one power source to another it loses power for a fraction of a second and may
reboot. The device will function correctly after the reboot.
Though the device can be powered over an Ethernet port it is not compliant with the IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard.
Powering RUT9xx from a IEEE 802.3af-2003 power supply will damage the device as it is not rated for input voltages of
the PoE standard.
5.1 Powering the device from higher voltage
If you decide not to use our standard 9 VDC wall adapters and want to power the device from higher voltage (15 –
30 VDC) please make sure that you choose a power supply of high quality. Some power supplies can produce voltage
peaks significantly higher than the declared output voltage, especially during the process of connection and
disconnection.
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 the power supply.
