3.4. Installation Check
Before the installed router is energized, try pressing SIM card to check whether it is tight. Energize and check the working
condition of the router; at this moment, the PWR indicator light is on; the LAN port will light up the moment the router is energized;
some time later, SYS light is on, indicating that the system has been started and begun to work normally.
Operation steps
Step 1 Check whether the antenna connection is correct.
Step 2 Check whether SIM card is installed in a correct manner, and confirm whether it is valid.
Step 3 Supply power to R800 LTE Router.
If the light of the LAN port connected with the lower computer is on when R800 LTE Router is energized, it means the
Router has normal power supply.
Supply power for some time, and then SYS indicator light of the router is on, it means the router system has been started.
After SYS indicator light is on for some time, NET indicator light is on and quick-flashing, it means the router has found the
module and starts dial-up.
In the process of dial-up by the router, PPP(NET) light is on.
At the end of dial-up by the router, PPP(NET) light is always on, it means the dialed network is 3G/4G; if it is slow-flashing,
it means the dialed network is 2G/2.5G/2.75G.
For different modules, the time that the router takes to find the module is different. The dial-up time also
differs for network disconnection. Therefore, the time that the router takes to dial up and obtain IP address is different
for different modules, but the router dial-up process is in strict accordance with the aforesaid steps.

4.2. Local Area Connection Configuration
Prerequisites
R800 LTE Router has been energized.
LAN Ethernet port of R800 LTE Router has been connected through Ethernet cable.
See “3.2.2 Ethernet Cable Connection”for specific operation. The local area connection of R800 LTE Router has two ways:
specified IP and obtaining an IP address automatically by using DHCP. The two ways will be described in detail.
Specified IP
Step 1: Click “Start>Control Panel”, and double click on “Network Connection”in the open window. See Figure 4-2-1.

Figure 4-2-1 Network Connection Window
Step 2: Double click on “Local Area Connection”， and open the window “Local Area Connection Status”. See Figure 4-2-2.
Figure 4-2-2 Local Area Connection Status
Step 3: In the window “Local Area Connection Status”, click “Attributes”to open the window “Local Area Connection
Attributes”.

R800
HANDBOOK

Figure 4-2-3 Internet Protocol（TCP/IP）
The latter configuration can be done in two ways, i.e. general configuration and advanced configuration.
General configuration
1. In the window “Local Area Connection Attributes”, double click on “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”, and open the window
“Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Attributes”. Revise the general network configuration in the option “General”. See Figure 4-2-4.
Figure 4-2-4 General Network Configuration
Among factory default parameters of R800 LTE Router,
IP address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Therefore, in the window “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Attributes”, the configuration of “Default Gateway”and “Subnet
Mask”is R800 LTE Router factory default settings.
IP address can be 192.168.1.* (* refers to any integer from 2～254).

2. Click “OK”, done.
Advanced configuration
This method is based on the existing network environment configuration (Step 1~Step 3); where it is not desired to disconnect
LAN communication of PC and it is desired to have R800 LTE Router configured, a router can be additionally provided.
1. In Figure 4-4, click “Advanced”to open “Advanced TCP/IP Setting”. See Figure 4-2-5.
Figure 4-2-5 Advanced TCP/IP Setting
2. Click “Add”in “IP Address”, and fill out the IP address you want to configure. See Figure 4-2-6.
Figure 4-2-6 TCP/IP 地址
3. Click “Add”, done.
Obtaining an IP address automatically by using DHCP
DHCP server built in R8004G Router automatically allocates IP address to the connected terminals (or PC, etc.) according to the
preset parameters, which saves the process of manual allocation of IP address to terminals. Therefore, the router connection can be
realized in the principle of DHCP server.
6DHCP service built in R800 LTE Router is open when delivery.
Step 1: Click “Start>Control Panel”, and double click on “Network Connection”in the open window. See Figure 4-2-7.

Step 4: If“Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Attributes”is as Figure 4-2-9 shows, then no alteration is required; if not, select“Obtain
an IP Address Automatically”in “General”.
In the window “The Connection Uses the Following Item (O)”, click “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”, and double click to open
the window “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Attributes”. See Figure 4-2-9.
Step 5 Click “OK”, done.

Step 7: Insert the command “ipconfig”in the “Running”window. For the above two connection configuration methods,
the IP address showed in the “ipconfig”window is different: for the former, IP address is the IP address you insert in Figure 4-2-4;
see Figure 4-2-11; for the latter, IP address is the random numbers from “2～254”; see Figure 4-2-12. If the information showed in
the window is as Figure 4-2-12, it means that IP configuration is normal.
