1Introduction
This user manual describes the features and how to configure Virtual Access GW3300
Series routers.
Designed for managed network providers, GW3300 Series routers provide secure WAN
connectivity for internet and private networking environments over 3G or 4G broadband
paths and incorporate optional 802.11n WiFi connectivity.
1.1 Document scope
This document covers the following models in the GW3300 Series.
GW3330 Four Ethernet, 3G, Dual SIM, WiFi, Serial
GW3340 Four Ethernet, 4G, Dual SIM, WiFi, Serial
GW3360
Four Ethernet, LTE450, Dual SIM, WiFi, Serial
GW3343
Four Ethernet, 4G, 3G, Dual SIM, WiFi, Serial
GW3344
Four Ethernet, 4G, 4G, Dual SIM, WiFi, Serial
GW3346 Four Ethernet, 4G, LTE450, Dual SIM, WiFi, Serial
1.2 Using this documentation
You can configure your router using either the router’s web interface or via the command
line using UCI commands. Each chapter explains first the web interface settings,
followed by how to configure the router using UCI. The web interface screens are shown
along with a path to the screen for example, ‘In the top menu, select Service ->
SNMP.’ followed by a screen grab.
After the screen grab there is an information table that describes each of the screen’s
fields.
1.2.1 Information tables
We use information tables to show the different ways to configure the router using the
router’s web and command line. The left-hand column shows three options:
•Web:refers the command on the router’s web page,
•UCI:shows the specific UCI command, and
•Opt: shows the package option.
The right-hand column shows a description field that describes the feature’s field or
command and shows any options for that feature.
Some features have a drop-down menu and the options are described in a table within
the description column. The default value is shown in a grey cell.
Values for enabling and disabling a feature are varied throughout the web interface, for
example, 1/0; Yes/No; True/False; check/uncheck a radio button. In the table
descriptions, we use 0to denote Disable and 1to denote Enable.

Some configuration sections can be defined more than once. An example of this is the
routing table where multiple routes can exist and all are named ‘route’. For these
sections, the UCI command will have a code value [0] or [x] (where x is the section
number) to identify the section.
Web Field/UCI/Package Option
Description
Web: Metric
UCI: network.@route[0].metric
Opt: metric
Specifies the route metric to use.
Note: these sections can be given a label for identification when using UCI or package
options.
network.@route[0]=route
network.@route[0].metric=0
can be witten as:
network.routename=route
network.routename.metric=0
However the documentation usually assumes that a section label is not configured.
The table below shows fields from a variety of chapters to illustrate the explanations
above.
Web Field/UCI/Package Option
Description
Web: Enable
UCI: cesop.main.enable
Opt: enable
Enables CESoPSN services.
0
Disabled.
1
Enabled.
Web: Syslog Severity
UCI: cesop.main.severity
Opt: log_severity
Selects the severity used for logging events CESoPSN in syslog.
The following levels are available.
0
Emergency
1
Alert
2
Critical
3
Error
4
Warning
5
Notice
6
Informational
7
Debug
Web: Agent Address
UCI: snmpd.agent[0].agentaddress
Opt: agentaddress
Specifies the address(es) and port(s) on which the agent should
listen.
[(udp|tcp):]port[@address][,…]
Table 1: Example of an information table
1.2.2 Definitions
Throughout the document, we use the host name ‘VA_router’ to cover all router models.
UCI commands and package option examples are shown in the following format:
root@VA_router:~# vacmd show current config

diagnostics are explained in a separate chapter.
1.2.4 UCI commands
For detailed information on using UCI commands, read chapters ‘Router File Structure’
and ‘Using Command Line Interface’.

•Four 1Gbps Ethernet ports
•Two serial ports
•WiFi
•USB
•Power ignition sense
•Last GASP
•Optional SIM protection cover
The asynchronous serial ports are named ‘/dev/ttyUSB0’ and ‘/dev/ttyUSB1’
Each serial port has a number of configurable settings, such as baud rate, word size,
parity, flow control mode, and so on.
Each serial port is configurable to operate in either RS232 or RS485 mode. The default
mode is RS232 for the first port and RS485 for the second port.
For more information on using the port in RS485 mode, read the Terminal Server section
of this manual.

2.12 Getting started
To enable and configure connections on your router, it must be correctly installed.
The GW3300 Series router contains an internal web server that you use for
configurations. Before you can access the internal web server and start the
configuration, ensure the components are correctly connected and that your PC has the
correct networking setup.
2.13 Inserting the SIM cards
1. Ensure the unit is powered off.
2. Hold the SIM 1 card with the chip side facing down and the cut corner front left.
3. Gently push the SIM card into SIM slot 1 until it clicks in.
4. If using SIM 2 then hold the SIM with the cut corner front right
5. Gently push the SIM card into SIM slot 2 until it clicks in.
2.14 Connecting cables
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into port A and the other end to your PC or
switch.
2.15 Connecting the antenna
If only connecting one antenna, screw the antenna into the MAIN SMA connector. If
using multiple antennas, screw the antennas into the relevant SMA connectors.
Virtual Access supplies a wide range of antennas. Please visit our website:
www.virtualaccess.com or contact Virtual Access for more information.
2.16 Powering up
During boot time, the power LED flashes.
Other LEDs display different diagnostic patterns during boot up.
Booting is complete when the power LED stops flashing and stays on steady.

2.17 Reset button
The reset button is used to request a system reset.
When you press the reset button all LEDs turn on simultaneously. The length of time you
hold the reset button will determine its behaviour.
Press Duration Behaviour
Less than 3 seconds Normal reset.
Between 3 and 5 seconds
The router resets to factory configuration.
Between 20 seconds and 25 seconds Recovery mode.
Over 25 seconds Normal reset
Table 5: GW3300 Series router reset behaviour
2.17.1 Recovery mode
Recovery mode is a fail-safe mode where the router can load a default configuration
from the routers firmware. If your router goes into recovery mode, all config files are
kept intact. After the next reboot, the router will revert to the previous config file.
You can use recovery mode to manipulate the config files, but should only be used if all
other configs files are corrupt. If your router has entered recovery mode, contact your
local reseller for access information.

4Factory configuration extraction from SIM card
Virtual Access routers have a feature to update the factory configuration from a SIM
card. This allows you to change the factory configuration of a router when installing the
SIM.
1. Make sure the SIM card you are inserting has the required configuration written on it.
2. Ensure the router is powered off.
3. Hold the SIM 1 card with the chip side facing down and the cut corner front left.
4. Gently push the SIM card into SIM slot 1 until it clicks in.
5. Power up the router.
Depending on the model, the power LED and/or the configuration LED flash as usual.
The SIM LED starts flashing. This indicates the application responsible for 3G and
configuration extraction management is running. It also means the update of the
configuration is happening.
When the update is finished, depending on the model, the power LED and/or the
configuration LED blink alternatively and very fast for 20 seconds.

5.3 Accessing the router over Ethernet using an SSH client
You can also access the router over Ethernet, using Secure Shell (SSH) and optionally
over Telnet.
To access CLI over Ethernet start an SSH client and connect to the router’s management
IP address, on port 22: 192.168.100.1/24.
On the first connection, you may be asked to confirm that you trust the host.
