2-4-1 3G/3.5G
3G-6200nL supports most of 3G/3.5G modem cards, just connect the
modem card to the USB port of 3G-6200nL and 3G-6200nL 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-6200nL’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-6200nL
(all PCs which need to access Internet by 3G-6200nL 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-6200nL’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-6200nL, or your telecomm service
provider may charge you with high communication fee. The default
setting is for you to connect with computer or switch to extend network.
If you would like to access Internet via xDSL/Cable modem, you can
login 3G-6200nL to enable WAN function. For example, if you connect
3G/3.5G modem card with 3G-6200nL 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-6200nL 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-6200nL 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-6200nL 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-6200nL and make sure
the corresponding USB LED indicator of 3G-6200nL lights up, then you
can use the web browser to access Internet.
30
Page 31
( 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.
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-6200nL to reboot), then you can access Internet.
Note: Please select “CDMA”, if your ISP provide 3G CDMA system.
( 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

3G-6200nL supports most of 3G/3.5G modem cards, just connect the
modem card to the USB port of 3G-6200nL and 3G-6200nL 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-6200nL’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-6200nL
(all PCs which need to access Internet by 3G-6200nL 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-6200nL’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-6200nL, or your telecomm service
provider may charge you with high communication fee. For example, if
you connect 3G/3.5G modem card with 3G-6200nL 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-6200nL 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-6200nL 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-6200nL 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-6200nL and make sure
the corresponding USB LED indicator of 3G-6200nL lights up, then you
can use the web browser to access Internet.

There are two ways to assign IP addresses to computers: static IP address
(set the IP address for every computer manually), and dynamic IP address
(IP address of computers will be assigned by router automatically. It’s
recommended for most of computers to use dynamic IP address, it will
save a lot of time on setting IP addresses for every computer, especially
when there are a lot of computers in your network; for servers and
network devices which will provide services to other computer and users
that come from Internet, static IP address should be used, so other
computes can locate the server.
This broadband router has a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) server, and can help you to assign IP addresses to your client
computers. Almost all network computers / devices manufactured after
year 1995 are compatible with DHCP, and you can let this broadband
router to assign the IP address to client computers / devices for you.

Suggestions on IP address numbering plan:
If you have no idea on how to define an IP address plan for your
network, here are some suggestions.
1. A valid IP address has 4 fields: a.b.c.d, for most of home and
company users, it’s suggested to use 192.168.c.d, where c is
an integer between 0 and 254, and d is an integer between 1
and 254. This router is capable to work with up to 253 clients,
so you can set ‘d’ field of IP address of router as 1 or 254 (or
any number between 1 and 254), and pick a number between 0
and 254 for field ‘c’.
2. In most cases, you should use ‘255.255.255.0’ as subnet mask,
which allows up to 253 clients (this also meets router’s
capability of working with up to 253 clients).
3. For all servers and network devices which will provide
services to other people (like Internet service, print service,
and file service), they should use static IP address. Give each
of them a unique number between 1 and 253, and maintain a
list, so everyone can locate those servers easily.
4. For computers which are not dedicated to provide specific
service to others, they should use dynamic IP address.
If you don’t really understand the descriptions listed above, don’t
worry! We will provide recommended setup values below.
