General configuration guide for the bintec 4Ge
The bintec 4Ge adds mobile UMTS/LTE data connectivity to an existing router. You can power the
device either via PoE (Power over Ethernet) or a plug-in AC adapter. The SIM-card that allows access to
the mobile network is inserted directly into the bintec 4Ge’s externally accessible SIM card slot.
The bintec 4Ge operates in DHCP client mode. The configuration parameters are sent as ASCII values
from the connected router using DHCP option 43. The bintec 4Ge can be operated on a PoE switch or
connected directly to the Ethernet port of a router. The connected LAN must have an active DHCP server
that can provide an ASCII value as option 43 (vendor-specific string).
Most UMTS/LTE carriers only require the APN and SIM card PIN for configuration, for example:
antenna&apn=internet.provider&pin=1234
Optionally, you can pass a username and password to the bintec 4Ge for authentication on an APN
using the parameters “usr” and “pwd”:
&usr=internet&pwd=internet
With the optional “mode” parameter, you can specify the network type. The available values are auto,
gprs, wcdma, gprsp, wcdmap, and lte.
&mode=auto
As soon as the configuration parameters have been sent to the bintec 4Ge, initialization of the
UMTS/LTE modem begins. Next, the connection to the mobile network is established. This connection is
made available at the bintec 4Ge’s LAN interface as VLAN 463. The IP address issued by the mobile
network carrier is assigned via DHCP to the connected router (over VLAN 463). A subinterface in client
mode with VLAN ID 463 must be created on this router.
