1.7 Antenna
Primary cellular antenna connections are SMA female
connectors and must be used with antenna with SMA
male connectors. When using a direct mount or rubber
duck antenna, choose the antenna specific to your band
requirements. Mounting options and cable lengths are
user’s choice and application specific.
The diversity antenna connector, labeled DIV, can be used
for a Diversity antenna. The diversity port supports all bands.
Connect a dual band cellular antenna to this port to implement
RX diversity on the unit and increase receive sensitivity on the
cellular network.
1.8 Power cable pinout
The Eaton 645M ships with a 6 foot DC three-wire power
cable that does not contain a fuse. AC power adapter or power
supplies are available as an optional accessory.

also the TAIP identification for GPS reporting and serves as
the syslocation for the SNMP facility. Unit ID can be up to
32 characters long and can consist of letters, digits and the
underscore ‘_’ character.
Power management
Depending on power cabling, the ELPRO 645M may stay ON
regardless of whether the vehicle ignition is on. The unit can be
configured to automatically shut down 1, 5, 30, 60, 120 or 240
minutes after ignition has been turned off. Leaving the unit live
allows the driver to use the modem without idling the vehicle
and defining a shut-off time limit prevents the modem from
draining the battery when the vehicle is unoccupied.

the Carrier, Settings, Dynamic DNS and System Monitor tabs.
3.2.1 Carrier
The Carrier tab enables you to configure the carrier (cellular
provider) and credentials to be used for data calls.
Network time
The ELPRO 645M is capable of maintaining the current time
(UTC) by synchronizing itself with a Network Time Protocol
(NTP) Server. You may specify a server domain name or IP
address and how frequently the router should synchronize with
the server. The router must have DNS access and a route to the
internet to synchronize with the supplied default ntp.org
server – this is not always true on private cellular networks.
The router does not save or track time while powered off, so
time will be inaccurate until the router can connect with the
server, which it does on startup (in addition to synchronizing
according the Update Frequency specified).
•
NTP client
Disabled by default. Select Enable to activate the router’s
NTP client to synchronize with the specified server

not required.
•
Password
Password required by the cellular provider. Leave blank if
not required.
•
Authentication protocols
Configure the authentication protocol to be used, or none.
If no protocol is selected (the default and recommended
setting for most applications), the ELPRO 645M will try to
negotiate a protocol with a cell tower, if the cellular carrier
allows negotiation. If a protocol is selected, then the router
will only accept requests for the specified protocol(s), where
PAP is Password Authentication Protocol and CHAP is
Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol.
• PAP: The Password Authentication Protocol is a pre-shared
key method for authenticating with the cellular provider.
• CHAP: The Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol
is a two-way authentication scheme between router
and provider.
ote:N Normally the cell provider does not require a username
or password, in which case leave the User and
Password fields blank. SIMs from some carriers
for special applications may require user name and
password to establish WAN connection with the
Cellular network.

3.2.2 Settings
The carrier settings displayed on this page differ depending
on which carrier is being used at the time.
One of the key features of LTE is the Subscriber Identity
Module (SIM), commonly known as SIM card. The SIM is
a detachable smart card containing the user’s subscription
Figure 18. Cell connection — settings
information. This allows the user to retain his or her
information when switching handsets or wireless devices,
independent of which handset or wireless device they are
using. The SIM has a security feature which, when enabled,
requires the user to enter a valid PIN before the modem will
connect to the cellular network.
SIM status
The Current Status section displays the current status of the
SIM (whether a SIM card is present, and if so whether it
is valid) and PIN (whether a PIN has been entered and PIN
security enabled).
•

3.2.3 Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS is a system which allows the domain name data
of a computer with a varying (dynamic) IP addresses held in
a name server to be updated in real time in order to make it
possible to establish connections to that machine without the
need to track the actual IP address themselves at all times.
Figure 19. Cell connection — dynamic DNS
When you have made and saved your change successfully,
the PIN Status text changes accordingly, reflecting the change
you made.
A number of providers offer Dynamic DNS services (“DDNS”),
free or for a charge. For example, a free service provided by
NO-IP allows users to setup between one and five host names
on a domain name provided by NO-IP.
•
Dynamic DNS
Selecting Enable will allow the modem to provide the
selected service dynamic IP address information. Selecting
Disable will stop any IP information from being sent to the
selected service
•
DDNS service

information to. Default is ” – custom –“ which exposes the
Custom URL field
•
Custom URL
DDNS Services not in the dropdown list can often still be
supported by use of a custom URL specified by the service
provider. Keywords in [square brackets] are replaced by their
actual values
ote:N If the default Custom URL, which references NO-IP,
fails to update, try the URL:
http://[USERNAME]:[PASSWORD]@dynupdate.noip.com/
nic/update?hostname=[DOMAIN]&myip=[IP]

•
Update interval
Sets the interval, in minutes (0 to 65,535), the modem will
update the Dynamic DNS server of its carrier assigned IP
address. It is recommended to set this interval as long as
necessary. Each update is considered a data call by the
cellular provider and could deplete low usage data

WAN data usage statistics
This section tracks the data received from and transmitted to
the cellular network. This is a tool that may be used to estimate
network usage. These totals are tracked by the router. Your
carrier maintains separate statistics from which your billing
is determined. One way to use this tool is to track usage
over a fairly short period of typical usage. The total then can
be extrapolated to estimate longer time periods. This router
updates these statistics once approximately every 30 seconds.
Press the Clear button to reset the totals to 0.
•
Rx bytes

LAN masquerade
When enabled, the 645M masquerades all Ethernet traffic
to the LAN, making all WAN traffic appear as if it originated
from the 645M. This can be useful in applications where
less-capable equipment on the local LAN cannot cope with
connections from multiple Host IP addresses
•
Bind services to Eth IP
UDP datagrams or TCP sockets from services inside the
645M (Serial, IO, GPS) normally appear to come from the
interface (LAN or WAN) closest to the destination. Enable
this option to force the source address to be the LAN
Ethernet IP address. This can be useful if packets are being
sent through a VPN tunnel. Note that outside of a tunnel,
NAT may still force the source address to be rewritten to the
WAN address
