1Introduction
Based on the very latest ADSL2+, WiFi and 3G HSPA+ technology, Virtual Access
GW600 Series routers address the needs of today’s businesses for managed
resilient broadband connectivity. Point of Sale (POS), retail branch office,
security monitoring and other key business applications demand managed
connectivity that is cost-effective, high performance and resilient to network
outage or last mile circuit failure.
Designed for managed network providers, GW6600 Series routers provide secure
WAN connectivity for internet and private networking environments over both
ADSL2+ and 3G broadband paths and incorporate optional 802.11n WiFi
connectivity.
1.1 Document scope

2.11 Connecting the SIM lock
Connect the SIM lock using the Allen key provided.
2.12 Connecting cables
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into port A and the other end to your PC
or switch.
2.13 Connecting the antenna
If only connecting one antenna, screw the antenna into the MAIN SMA
connector.
If using more than one antenna, screw the main antenna into the MAIN SMA
connector and the secondary antenna into the 3G-AUX SMA connector.
2.14 Connecting the WiFi antenna
If you are connecting one antenna, screw the antenna into either of the WiFi
SMA connectors. You can use a second WiFi antenna if necessary.
2.15 Powering up
Plug the power cable into an electrical socket suitable for the power supply.
The GW6600 takes approximately 2 minutes to boot up. During this 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.
2.16 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 2 seconds Normal reset.
Between 2 and 15 seconds The router resets to factory configuration.

4: Factory configuration extraction from SIM card
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
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.
