CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Introduction to your Router
The BEC MX-210NPV 4G/LTE 11n with PoE Router is a compact, affordable and high-performance
fixed 4G/LTE Router incorporated 11n technology and offers flexible options such as dual-WAN
failover by seamless connecting to other Internet Service Provider to avert internet downtown,
redundant power source for safe & quick power installation via one of the versatile LAN/PoE-PD ports
and secure network connection and data privacy with VPN encryption capabilities to provide a reliable
and cost-effective alternative solution for business continuity.
4G/LTE Mobility
The MX-210NPV is a classic 4G/LTE router with dual WAN interfaces for redundancy or seamless
failover between mobile carrier network and the wireline, an interchangeable Gigabit Ethernet
LAN/WAN, to ensure continuous Internet connectivity.
Seamless Wi-Fi Coverage
The MX-210NPV integrates a 802.11n access point supporting data rates of up to 300Mbps. Security
functionality includes: WEP 64/128 bit, WPA, WPA2 (PSK, TKIP and AES, 802.1X, SSID broadcast
disable and wireless MAC address filtering and MSSID with Client Isolation to enhance the level of
transmission security and access control over the Wireless LAN. The router also supports the Wi-Fi
Protected Setup (WPS) standard, allowing users to establish a secure wireless network by simply
pushing a button. If the network requires wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution System
(WDS) repeater function allows users to expand the wireless network without the need for any external
wires or cables.
IPv6 Supported
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed IPv4.
IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. The router is already supporting IPv6, you can use
it in IPv6 environment no need to change device. The dual-stack protocol implementation in an
operating system is a fundamental IPv4-to-IPv6 transition technology. It implements IPv4 and IPv6
protocol stacks either independently or in a hybrid form. The hybrid form is commonly implemented in
modern operating systems supporting IPv6.
Quick Start Wizard
Support a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly. With this wizard, simple steps will get you
connected to the Internet immediately.

System Recovery Procedure & Cabling
9
BEC MX-210NPV User Manual
System Recovery Procedures
The purpose is to allow users to restore the MX-210NPV to its initial stage when the device is outage,
upgraded to a wrong / broken firmware, cannot access to the GUI with wrong username and/or
password, etc.
Step 1 – Configure your PC Network IP Address
Before performing the system recovery, assign this IP address and Netmask to your PC,
192.168.1.100 and 255.255.255.0 respectively.
Step 2 – Reset your MX-210NPV Device
2.1 Power off your MX-210NPV
2.2 Power on the MX-210NPV while pushing the RESET button with a small pointed object (such as
paper clip, needle, toothpick, etc.).
2.3 When the POWER LED turns RED, keep holding and pushing the RESET button until the
INTERNET LED flashes in GREEN
Step 3 – Restore your MX-210NPV Device
With INTERNET light flashes green, MX-210NPV is in recovery mode and ready for a new Firmware.
3.1 Open a web browser and type the IP address, 192.168.1.1, to access to the recovery page.
NOTE: In the recovery mode, MX-210NPV will not respond to any PING or other requests.
3.2 Browse to the new Firmware image file then click Upload to start the upgrade process.
3.3 INTERNET LED turns red means the Firmware upgrade is in process.
DO NOT power off or reboot the device, it would permanently damage your MX-210NPV.
3.4 INTERNET LED turns green after the Firmware upgrade completed
3.5 Power cycle on & off to regain access to the MX-210NPV.
Cabling
One of the most common causes of problems is bad cabling. Make sure that all connected devices
are turned on. On the front panel of the product is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and LEDs
are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper cables.
Basic Installation
10
BEC MX-210NPV User Manual
CHAPTER 3: BASIC INSTALLATION
The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard
application in the following operating systems: Windows Vista / 7 / 8, Linux, Mac OS, etc. The product
provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly
or through an external repeater hub and have TCP/IP installed or configured to obtain an IP address
through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The
default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any
attached PC must be in the same subnet and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to
192.168.1.253). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically
from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it
may also be advisable to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause
problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router. Users should make their own
decisions on how to best protect their network.
Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. Check your PC’s
network components first. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed.
If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with
or through the MX-210NPV. To configure other types of
workstations, please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
