First Use

Before applying power to the router, connect the components that you required for your

applications. You cannot operate the router without a connected antenna, inserted SIM card,

nor a connected power supply.

If you do not have connected the main antenna during operation of the router, the router

can be damaged!

1. Antenna

Use an SMA connector to connect the antennas to the router. The main antenna is con-

nected to the router by screwing on the ANT connector (see the ﬁgure below). A second

diversity antenna can also be connected to the DIV connector to improve performance.

2. SIM card

The SIM card readers, for 3 V and 1.8 V SIM cards, are located on the rear panel of the

router. If you intend to use this device to communicate over a cellular network, please place

an activated data-provisioned SIM card with an unblocked PIN into the SIM card reader. Push

your SIM card into the SIM1 or SIM2 slot until it clicks in place.

QSG-0002-EN, January 24, 2020 5Released in the Czech Republic

SmartStart

Before handling the SIM card disconnect the router from the power supply!

3. Power

The router requires an external DC power supply. The DC voltage required is between

+9 to +36 V DC. The router has built-in protection against reverse polarity without signaling.

Connect the power supply cable to the PWR connector on the front panel of the router (see

the ﬁgure below).

4. Ethernet

An Ethernet cable may be connected to the ETH connector (designated as ETH0 in some

versions of this router) on the front panel (see the ﬁgure above). By default, the Ethernet port

is conﬁgured as follows:

Connector Purpose Default Setting

ETH LAN port (default)

Connect your laptop or PC to this port to

get a local web-server for device conﬁgu-

ration and diagnostics.

NetMask: 255.255.255.0

Conﬁguration

1. Conﬁguring the Device Using the Web Browser

You can access the router for status monitoring, conﬁguration, and administration after

entering the IP address of the router into the web interface. The default router IP address is

192.168.1.1 (netmask 255.255.255.0). Conﬁguration access is allowed for the user "root". The

default password is printed on the router’s label.1Attention, it is necessary to use HTTPS

protocol for secure communication over a network! For a detailed description and exam-

ples of the router conﬁgurations, see the Conﬁguration manual.

2. Conﬁguration Settings via WebAccess/DMP

If your router has been pre-installed with the WebAccess/DMP client, you may conﬁgure it

from WebAccess/DMP. Navigate your browser to:

https://hub.bb-smartworx.com

If this is your ﬁrst time, please register with the site. If not, please login with your username

and password. Once logged in, further assistance can be found here:

http://hub.bb-smartworx.com/Login/Help?HelpFile=hub.pdf

3. Restoring and Backing up the Router Conﬁguration

After you reset the router, the current conﬁguration is overwritten by the default settings.

We recommend that you back up the router conﬁguration before resetting the device. Refer to

the Conﬁguration manual for more information.

1If the router’s label does not contain a unique password, use the password "root".

QSG-0002-EN, January 24, 2020 7Released in the Czech Republic

SmartStart

When the PWR LED starts blinking, it is possible to restore the default conﬁguration of the

router by pressing the RST button on the rear panel. After pressing this button, the default

conﬁguration is restored and then the router reboots (green LED will be on).

Important Notes

After logging on to the device for the ﬁrst time, we strongly recommend changing the

default password due to security reasons. Simultaneously, you will gain access to all

functions of the router.

For security reasons, it is highly recommended to update the ﬁrmware of the router to the

latest version regularly. Downgrading the ﬁrmware to an older version than the production

version or uploading a ﬁrmware intended for a different device may cause the malfunction

of the device.
