Step 2) 3G/3.5G Internet Configuration

3G-6200n supports most of 3G/3.5G modem cards, just connect the modem card to the USB port of 3G-6200n and 3G-6200n will recognize it automatically, no additional setup procedure required. However, some of modem cards require PIN code or account / password (you have to use 3G-6200n’s web interface to input these information), and some modem cards requires you to connect the modem card with your PC and install driver / utility before you connect it with 3G-6200n (all PCs which need to access Internet by 3G-6200n requires to perform this procedure once). If you still not able to connect to Internet, please use wired Internet connection to access our website :http://www.edimax.com/ ,download latest version of firmware and upgrade 3G-6200n’s firmware. If you still not be able to get connected by your 3G/3.5G modem card, please contact your dealer of purchase and provide the model name of the 3G/3.5G modem card you have, we’ll try our best to help you to solve the problem.

Only one Internet connection (wireless / wired) can be used at the same time. Wireless connection (3G/3.5G) will be selected first, and use wired Internet connection as backup. Therefore, please DO NOT connect your 3G/3.5G modem card with 3G-6200n, or your telecomm service provider may charge you with high communication fee. For example, if you connect 3G/3.5G modem card with 3G-6200n when you’re using wired Internet connection, wired connection will be dropped and use 3G/3.5G wireless connection instead. If 3G/3.5G wireless signal reception is poor and the connection can not be restored within 60 seconds, 3G-6200n will use wired Internet connection again, and will not switch back to wireless Internet connection (This only happens with wired Internet connection is available. If wired connection is unavailable, 3G-6200n will try to establish 3G/3.5G wireless connection again and again). If you want to use 3G/3.5G wireless connection again, you need to remove 3G/3.5G modem card from 3G-6200n and reconnect it back after 5 seconds.

( A ) Plug and play, no setup procedure required.

Connect the USB 3G/3.5G modem card with 3G-6200n and make sure the corresponding USB LED indicator of 3G-6200n lights up, then you can use the web browser to access Internet.

( B ) PIN code or user name / password required:

Please check the authentication method you want to use. Most of telecomm service providers require you to input PIN Code, please check ‘SIM’ and input the PIN code provided by telecomm service provider. Most of options listed here are optional and you don’t have to provide those information if telecomm service provider doesn’t provide you with those information.

Page 21

If telecomm provider provides you with username / password, please check /User Name / Password box and input the user name / password provided by telecomm service provider, then click ‘OK’ button. Wait for 1 minute (for 3G-6200n to reboot), then you can access Internet.

Please input User name & Password in “PPP Settings” and do not input them in “Network Settings” unless your ISP ask you input them in both.

Note: Please choose “CDMA”, if your ISP use 3G CDMA system.

Page 22

( C ) Driver / Utility required on PC side

Some 3G/3.5G modem card does not work with instructions (A) or (B) listed above (ex. BandLuxe C100S). You need to install 3G/3.5G modem card driver / utility on every PC which needs to access Internet first. After driver / utility installation is complete, every PC will be able to access Internet via 3G/6200n.

We provide”MCS0~MCS7 and Auto” for configuration, and default setting is “Auto” .

The default setting is “Auto 20/40MHz”, and the default setting will provide you better wireless performance than “20MHz”.

The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN performance.

If you enable “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station located within the coverage of this access point will discover this access point more easily. If you are building a wireless network which will open to the public, it’s recommended to enable this feature. Disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can provide better security.

It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and 802.11 g wireless stations. When the protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little lower due to many of frame traffic will be transmitted.

You can adjust the wireless transmit power here. By

2.6 QoS

The QoS function can classify Internet application traffic by source/destination IP address and port number. You can assign priority for each type of application and reserve bandwidth for it. The packets of applications with higher priority will always go first. Lower priority applications will get bandwidth after higher priority applications get enough bandwidth. This can let you have a better experience in using delay-sensitive services like Internet phone, video conference …etc. All the applications not specified by you are classified as rule name “Others”. The rule with smaller priority number has higher priority; the rule with larger priority number has lower priority. You can adjust the priority of the rules by moving them up or down.

Note: If the total assigned bandwidth of higher priority applications is larger than the maximum bandwidth provided by the WAN port, then other applications will not get any bandwidth.

Parameters Description
