3 Installing a USB Modem
To connect Wi-REACH Classic to the
network:
1Ma e sure Wi-REACH Classic is turned OFF.
2Insert the USB modem into the Wi-REACH
Classic and turn ON Wi-REACH Classic.
3Find and connect to Wi-REACH Classic using the
WiFi manager application on your computer or
device. This process varies depending on your
computer/device and operating system.
4Select "Wi-REACH 12345678" from the wireless
networ s found and connect to it. The 8 digits
are unique to your Wi-REACH Classic and can
also be found on a stic er on the bac of your
unit.
In your web browser's address bar, enter
http://192.168.0.1 and Enter.
Wi-REACH Classic's internal configuration web site
will be displayed.
On the Wi-REACH Classic, the NET LED will initially
turn RED. After the modem is recognized and
ready, the NET LED will turn a solid BLUE.
Finally, when the modem goes online, the NET LED
will flash BLUE slowly.
Once the modem goes online, the IP Address will
show the address received from the cellular
provider, the System Status will show
"Connected to ISP", and the Modem Status will
show "USB modem online".
Note: The amount of time it will ta e the modem
to go online depends on the type of modem and
the specific cellular provider you are connecting to.
In general, this process may be as fast as 30
seconds, or as slow as about 2 minutes.
If the modem does not go online, pls rechec the
APN, username and password you entered in the
Cellular configuration page.
Once the modem is online, you can browse to an
internet location.
Note: If you are unable to immediately browse to
an internet location, wait a few seconds and try
again since DNS information is usually retrieved
from the cellular provider only after going ONLINE.
USB Modem Tips
Note: if a modem is not supported by Wi-REACH
Classic, when it is inserted into Wi-REACH Classic,
the NET LED will eventually flash (fast) RED.
Cellular Provider APN, username and
password
Before a 3G USB modem can connect to the cellular
provider, it must be configured with the correct APN
(Access Point Name) of that cellular provider.
For 3G service, most providers have a specific APN that
needs to be used.
The best place to get this APN information is from your
cellular provider.
The APN info may also be found within the configuration
area of the modem driver you may have installed on a
computer.
The internet is also a good place to loo for the APN for
your cellular provider – you may search by entering your
provider's name and the text "APN".
For many cellular providers, only the APN needs to be
configured to the modem to connect correctly. Some
cellular providers, however, require a "username" and
"password" to be configured as well. Again, the best
place to get this information is from your cellular
provider.
