2.2 WAN port setting
2.2.1 WAN/LAN exchange
In routing mode, the Ethernet port of VM300-L/VM300-H is divided into a WAN port and
a LAN port, and WAN/LAN can be interchanged.
2.2.2 WAN Port connection method
By setting the WAN port of the router, you can change the network connection type
according to the actual needs of the individual, there are three types of WAN port
connections commonly used in the routing mode of the VM300-L/VM300-H: DHCP(Auto
Config), PPPoE(ADSL) and WiFi. DHCP and PPPoE are wired connections, and the WAN
port needs to be connected to the source network through a wired connection:
DHCP(Auto Config): WAN port connection type is selected as “DHCP(Auto
Config)”, VM300-L/VM300-H will automatically obtain IP address from source

network;
PPPoE(ADSL): WAN port connection type is selected as “PPPoE”, that is, ADSL
virtual dialing mode requires ISP (Internet Service Provider) to provide Internet account
and password.
WiFi: WAN port connection type is selected as “WiFi”, VM300-L/VM300-H uses a
built-in WiFi network card (used to connect to the source hotspot) as a WAN port, and
all Ethernet ports as LAN ports, while providing WiFi hotspot functions.
2.2.3 WAN port wired connect network——DHCP
The default WAN port connection mode of VONETS is DHCP. The WAN port can
automatically obtain an IP address after connecting with the source network.
2.2.4 WAN port wired connect network——PPPoE
In “WAN settings”, select “Basic settings”, change the connection type to “PPPoE
(ADSL)”, then enter the Internet account and password provided by the ISP (Internet
Service Provider), click the “Apply”button, and then reboot VM300-L/VM300-H, then

3. The device WiFi hot spot can be found, but the smart phone or PC can’t connect to this
device hotspot?
Reason 1. Due to some unexpected operation or power down, caused the destroy
of device parameters. At this time, just need to reset the device to factory default
parameters;
Reason 2. The device WiFi doesn ’t work at the best channel, make the
performance
worse. At this time, you can try to change the source WiFi hot spot and this device
WiFi channel to make the performance better;
Reason 3. The smart phone or PC haven ’t been configured the correct WiFi
password.
4. The device has been configured the source WiFi hot spot parameters, the smart phone
or PC has connected to the device WiFi hot spot, but still doesn’t get internet?
First, check the status light to know the current state of the device, then according
to the state of the device to analyze the fault reasons;
Reason 1. The distance between the device and source WiFi hot spot is too long,
cause the communication performance degradation, finally effect the user’s access
to the Internet. At this time, just need shorten the distance between the device
and source WiFi hot spot to solve this problem;
Reason 2. Due to some unexpected operation or power down, caused the destroy
of device parameters. At this time, just need to reset the device to factory default
parameters;
Reason 3. The device WiFi doesn ’t work at the best channel, make the
performance worse. At this time, you can try to change the source WiFi hot spot
WiFi channel to make it the same as the default channel of the device, the reboot
the device, the device will automatically exchange to the same channel as the
source WiFi hotspot, to make the performance better;
Reason 4. There are several WiFi hot spot around the device, WiFi channel mutual
interference, make the performance worse. At this time, you can try to change
the source WiFi hot spot and this device WiFi channel to make the performance
better;

Reason 5. The configured source WiFi hot spot parameters are not correct. At this
time, just need to configure the correct parameters then reboot the device;
5. The smart phone or PC has been connected the device by WiFi or Ethernet cable, but
user
can’t log in the device WEB page, or after log in the WEB it shows error?
Reason 1. The users don’t use the browser recommended by VONETS(IE,Google
Chrome, Safari, the mobile phone browser);
Reason 2. The smart phone or PC installed the firewall, the security level is set too
high, caused the above problem. At this time, only need to close the firewall;
Reason 3. The security level of browser is too high, it will also cause the above
problem. At this time, just need to reduce the browser’s security level, then log in
again;
Reason 4. The IP address of the device input error. For the new device from the
factory, user only need input the correct IP address according to the instruction
guide; for the device that has connected the source hot spot, user only operate
according to <Remark 2>.
