Chapter 1. Device configuration (OpenWrt user interface)
1.1 Web user interface
Important!
The device software contains a pre-configured system. Please check the configuration, and if
the settings are not match with your expectations, change the configuration settings and save
them.
1. Configure the Ethernet interface’s on your PC for TCP/IPv4 protocol for setup the IP
address: 192.168.127.100 and subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
2. Start the device. The local web user interface (LuCi®)will be reachable after 1-2 minutes
through the Ethernet (LAN)interface –on the device’s default IP address in a web browser.
3. Open the device’s local website in the Mozilla Firefox browser, where the default web user
interface address on Ethernet port is: https://192.168.127.1:8888
Login with the Username: root , Password: wmrpwd and push to the Login button.

1.2 Dashboard (Main page)
After you have logged to the web interface, a startup screen appears with all relevant information
and the current status of the device.
At the System part, you can check the installed software build (Firmware Version) where it
should be 202108271_RC or newer. (If it has an older version, then refresh the firmware, please.)
At the Local Time you can check the current time.
The Uptime shows the spent time interval since the last bootup (or reboot).

At the Modem part, first you can the module’s MEID identifier (IMEI) and the SIM ID identifier of
the used SIM card.
You can also check the wireless modem availability, current status and health at Modem RSSI
(cellular network signal strength) and Modem SQ. (The lower RSSI means better cellular signal
strength / higher SQ value means the better signal quality level).
At the CREG field you can get more info about the used cellular network cells. The COPS shows
the connected network name.
At the Network part, you can see the used cellular network IP address at the Address field.

1.3 Menu overview
By the menu you can access the following features:
-Status –Status data, operation Logs (system, kernel, event log), Firewall monitoring,
monitoring the operation (at Processes and Realtime graphs )
-System –System settings and administration (time sync, device name), software installation
(3rd party tools), Startup settings and scheduled tasks, LED configuration, Firmware flashing,
Backup/Restore of the configuration settings, Reboot of the system)
-Router –Device manager configuration, Modem settings and Logging parameters, Periodic
ping and reboot, Factory configuration, Relay switch settings
-Services –Ser2net (RS485 configuration)
-Network –Network interface settings (for Ethernet and cellular module), DHCP, DynDNS,
IP route/NAT, hostname, diagnostics, Firewall, IPSEC settings, voice call settings (remote
reboot) and SMS configuration (remote command execution)
