1.
Starting up the Router
1.1 Accessories
Unpack the router and the antenna from the product paper box.
Prepare for the installation and the configuration, follow the next hints.
1.2 Cable connection
1. Mount the Narrow Band SMA-type communication antenna to the Antenna (Main) titled
SMA-M interface (according to the module/router type).
2. Insert a SIM card (APN and data activated) to the SIM holder, placed the chip-side up and
the cutted edge towards to inside and push until it sleeves.
3. Connect UTP cable to the router Ethernet titled port. The other side of the cable must
be plugged to the PC’s Ethernet port.
4. The DHCP service is turned off for the router Ethernet interface, by default.
Therefore, you have to configure an IP address for you PC, manually.
As an example, add the 192.168.127.10 IP address to your computer’s Ethernet interface
for connecting to the router.
1.3 Starting the router
1. Plug the 12V DC power adapter cable to the POWER interface, then plug the adapter to
the 230V electrical network.
2. The router has a pre-installed system (contains uploaded firmware and system software). After
plugging the power adapter, the router begins to work, whereas its LED signals are showing
the current activity during the operation.
When power up the router, all the three LEDs will flashes once –as in case of restart.
If the device was under power supply the LED1 will lighting continuously (which means that the
system booting is in progress).
3. The system is starting, which takes about 1-2 minutes. During the boot the LED1 will lighting
by green. After cca. 2 minutes, LED1 will flashing once in every 10 seconds which means it is
available on its local interfaces. Now you can login to the web user interface.
4. As soon as you can, configure the internet settings of the wireless module (SIM and
APN) for connecting to the NB-IoT network –in other case the router will be
restarted in every 10 minutes.
5. Then the router tries to connect to the mobile network (autenticates and logging to the APN
zone and will be initiating the network connection) –if that was configured and the SIM card
network registration has performed, then the LED2 will lighting continuously, which signs that
the the router has access to the mobile network and can transmit data.
6. Change the web login password as soon as you can.
7. If you need, turn on the DHCP service.
If you notice any failure or unusual LED flashing, then go to the Troubleshooting chapter.
1.4 Web user interface & Login
For accessing the the router through the web user interface you have to setup the IP address of
the Ethernet interface on your computer to allow the fixed ipv4 address for the following IP address:
192.168.127.1, Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0)
Default web user interface (LuCi) address is: https://192.168.127.1:8888
( USB web address: https://192.168.10.1:8888 )
Attention!
For accessing the web user interface we offer the Mozilla Firefox web.
At first time, you have to allow the security risk in the Mozilla®browser by choosing the Advanced
option at the
Potential Security Risk
.
Then choose the Accept the Risk and Continue option here.
Now, you can login to the router’s local website (LuCi interface) - through the Ethernet
interface –accessing the default URL.
The login data are the following:
Username:
root
Password:
wmrpwd
Then push to the Login button to load
the configuration management user
interface of the router.
1.5 Accessing the router on ssh connection
The router can be accessed through an ssh connection, when it is available on its IP address –by
a terminal utility (e.g.
putty
) –at 192.168.10.1:22 (Login:
root
, Password:
wmrpwd
).
When connecting, you have to allow the usage and store of the encryption key on your client, then
the following login screen appeas in your command line on your computer.
Attention!
When connecting to the public network, it is recommended to change the login password!
The ethernet IP address can be modified after login from the OpenWrt.
1.6 Remote configuration of the router by Remote Device Manager®
software
You can use the remote device management application (Remote Device Manager®) for maintaining your
m2m routers. The application
provides you continuous QoS
monitoring of operation, remote
re-configuration and installation
of firmware updates.
There you can manage hundreds
of m2m routers by checking their
network availability, unwanted
outages.
You can also storage the current
configuratio or reconfigure mass
of the routers in one step or
refresh the firmware for a group
of routers - or singular devices as well.
The application is available through license pack constructions, please advise our sales about the license pack
options.
You can get further information on the Remote Device Manager®website:
https://www.m2mserver.com/en/product/m2m-device-manager/
2. Web Administration user interface
2.1 Dashboard (Main page)
After login to the web interface, the startup screen appears with the current status of the router.
Check that the
Build Date
(OpenWrt) is 2019-07-10 or newer version, and the
STM32 Firmware
version –which must be at least 2019-01-18 or newer.
