2 Installation

Attention:

After the B890 is installed, keep it upright, so the indicators are easy to see.

Furthermore, when placed flat, the B890 may be damaged due to poor heat

dissipation.

Only use a B890-compatible power adapter. Using an incompatible power

adapter may cause damage to the B890.

Note:

When connecting the B890 to a telephone, use an RJ11 telephone cable. Do not

connect the B890 to the telephone wall outlet (or any Public Switched Telephone

Network), because doing so could damage the B890 due to excessive heat.

Radio signals can interfere with telephone call connection and quality. To

eliminate interference, place the telephone at least 1 meter (3.28 feet) away from

the B890.

When connecting the B890 to a computer, use an RJ45 Ethernet cable no longer

than 100 meters (328 feet).

Scenario 1: Using the WAN Interface

Connect the cables in the sequence indicated in the following figure. Connect

cable to the B890's WAN port and the Ethernet port on the wall.

Once connected to a power supply, the B890 automatically powers on.

Scenario 2: Using the USIM Card

Step 1 Install the USIM card as follows:

1. Pull out the card slot cover and rotate it to reveal the USIM card slot.

2. Insert the USIM card into the card slot. Ensure that the beveled edge

of the USIM card aligns with that of the card slot. Gently push the

card until it clicks into place.

3. Replace the card slot cover.

Step 2 Connect the cables in the sequence indicated in the following figure.

Once connected to a power supply, the B890 automatically powers on

and searches for networks.

Scenario 3: Using the USIM Card and WAN Interface

Step 1 Install the USIM card as follows:

1. Pull out the card slot cover and rotate it to reveal the USIM card slot.

2. Insert the USIM card into the card slot. Ensure that the beveled edge

of the USIM card aligns with that of the card slot. Gently push the

card until it clicks into place.

3. Replace the card slot cover.

Step 2 Connect the cables in the sequence indicated in the following figure.

Connect cable to the B890's WAN port and the Ethernet port on

the wall.

Once connected to a power supply, the B890 automatically powers on.

Advanced Scenarios: Using More Features

1. Installing an External Antenna

Skip this section if you do not need to connect an external antenna to the B890.

In areas with poor network coverage, connect an external antenna to the B890's

external antenna port for better signal reception.

Step 1 Remove the cover from the antenna port. (Keep it in a safe place.)

Step 2 Screw external antenna fully into the antenna port, as shown in the

following figure.

Note:

Before using an external antenna, log in to the web management page

(http://192.168.1.1) and set antenna mode to outer. For details, see the

help information on the web management page.

Only use the external antenna indoors, and do not use it during

thunderstorm.

2. Connecting to a USB device

Skip this section if you do not need to connect a USB device to the B890.

Connect a USB device to the B890, as shown in the following figure. For details,

see the help information on the web management page.

Note:

Do not connect a computer to the B890's USB port.

B890's USB port can supply a maximum current of 500 mA. If the current

required by a peripheral device, such as a portable hard disk drive, connected to

the B890 is higher than 500 mA, the B890 may fail to recognize the device. In

this case, use an auxiliary power supply for the peripheral device. For more

information, contact your service provider.

3 Setting Up a Wireless Connection

Note:

Before setting up a Wi-Fi connection, ensure that a wireless network adapter has

been installed on your computer. If the wireless network adapter is functioning

correctly, you will be able to find a wireless network connection in your computer's

connection manager application.

Turning the Wi-Fi On

The B890's Wi-Fi automatically turns on when

the B890 is powered on.

To manually turn Wi-Fi off, press and hold

the button for 2 seconds. The

indicator turns off.

To manually turn Wi-Fi on, press and hold

the button until the indicator

turns steady on.

Setting Up a Wi-Fi Connection Manually

A computer running Windows 7 is used as an example to describe how to

manually set up a wireless connection:

Step 1 Ensure that the indicator is steady on, and the wireless

configuration service of the computer that you want to connect is

enabled.

Step 2 Find and make note of the wireless network (SSID) and password

(Wi-Fi Key) printed on the label on the rear panel of the B890.

Step 3 Configure the wireless network connection on the computer as follows:

1. Choose Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center >

Change Adapter settings.

2. In the Network Connections window, right-click the Wireless

Network Connection to display a shortcut menu, and select

Connect/Disconnect.

3. In the Wireless Network Connection dialog box, select the wireless

network whose name is the same as the one you recorded in Step 2,

and click Connect.

4. In the Connect to Network dialog box, enter the wireless network

password you recorded in Step 2, and click OK.

After the system verifies the password, Connected appears on

the wireless network icon in the wireless network list, indicating that

your computer has established a wireless connection to the B890.

Note:

If the wireless network name (SSID) and password (Wi-Fi Key) are changed, the

information will have to be reconfigured on your computer.

To protect your wireless network from unauthorized access, change the SSID

and Wi-Fi key a regular intervals. For details, see the help information on

the web management page.

Setting Up a Wi-Fi Connection Automatically

If the client to which the B890 connects supports WPS, a Wi-Fi key is generated

automatically.

To set up a WPS connection:

Step 1 Ensure that the indicator is steady on, and the wireless

configuration service of the computer that you want to connect is

enabled.

Step 2 Press and hold the button until the indicator blinks to

activate the WPS connection on your device.

Step 3 Activate the WPS connection on the client.

Note:

For details about operations on the client side, see the client user guide.

4 Logging In to the Web Management

Page

You can configure and manage the B890 settings using the web management

page.

1. Launch a web browser, and enter http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar.

2. Enter the password, and log in to the web management page. The default

password is admin.

If you are logging in to the web management page for the first time, follow the

Quick Setup Wizard to quickly configure your B890.
