Operator maintenance via TR-069 (Optional) and TR-143 (Optional)
One Internet status indicator
Cyan: LTE network accessed
Blue: UMTS network accessed
Green: Ethernet network accessed
White: Dual uplink enabled (Customizable)
Red: No SIM card is inserted or detected, or the SIM card has
insufficient balance
One Wi-Fi indicator
Flash slowly: A pairable HiLink device is detected.
Flash quickly: HiLink pairing is in progress/WPS connection is in
progress.
Off: Wi-Fi is disabled.
The indicator starts to flash slowly only when B535-232 detects a
new HiLink device.
HiLink devices include Honor routers, Honor set-up boxes,
Honor handsets (EMUI 5.0 and later), and more.
One LAN indicator
One group of signal strength indicators
Buttons
One Power ON/OFF switch
One Hi/WPS button
The Wi-Fi indicator flashes slowly when the router detects a
HiLink device. Press the Hi/WPS button to connect the HiLink
device to the router's Wi-Fi.
When the Wi-Fi indicator is steady on, press the Hi/WPS button
Supports manual configuration of LAN IP addresses.
Supports Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).
DHCP server
The DHCP server can be enabled or disabled.
The address pool of the DHCP server can be
configured.
The lease can be configured.
The DNS relay under the DHCP server can be
enabled.
NAT
Supports NAT and NAPT (compliant with
RFC2663, RFC3022, and RFC3027).
Supports cone NAT.
Supports Symmetric NAT.
ARP
ICMP
IPv4v6 dual stack
IPv6 only (Optional , CLAT for LAN side IPv4 device access Internet)
IPv4 only (Optional)
When the CLAT function is enabled, the IPv4 device Internet access
service cannot reach the maximum throughput. Under IPv6 only,
NAT-base service (such as port forwarding and port triggering) is not
available.
The B535-232 can access the Internet through mobile networks and Ethernet networks. By
connecting to the B535-232 using Wi-Fi or a network cable, users can obtain access to
high-speed Internet services and establish a local area network (LAN).
3.1.1 Accessing the Internet through a Mobile Network
The B535-232 can access the Internet through mobile networks.
Figure 3-1 Accessing the Internet through a mobile network
3.1.2 Accessing the Internet through an Ethernet Network
The B535-232's LAN/WAN port can be connected to a wall-mounted Ethernet port using a
network cable.
Figure 3-2 Accessing the Internet through an Ethernet network
3.2 SMS
The B535-232 supports message writing/sending/receiving and group sending (up to 50
-contacts at a time).
3.3 Security Service
The B535-232 supports comprehensive and robust security services. It provides a firewall
function and PIN protection mechanisms. These features allow users to connect their
computers to the Internet and simultaneously protect their computers against security threats
from the Internet.
The B535-232 supports the enabling or disabling of a firewall on the network connection,
which protects the device and network from attacks by hackers on the Internet and controls
access to the Internet.
3.3.2 MAC Filtering
The B535-232 supports configuration of the Media Access Control (MAC) address to restrict
network access.
3.3.3 Wi-Fi Authentication
The gateway supports the following user authentication protocols for Wi-Fi:
No encryption
WEP, WPA2-PSK (AES), WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES).
3.4 VPN Function
3.4.1 VPN Client
VPN tunneling involves establishing and maintaining a logical network connection (that may
contain intermediate hops). On this connection, packets constructed in a specific VPN
protocol format are first encapsulated within some other base or carrier protocol, then
transmitted between the VPN client and server, and finally decapsulated on the receiving side.
The B535-232 supports L2TP and PPTP tunneling protocols.
3.4.2 VPN Pass-Through
The B535-232 supports L2TP/PPTP VPN pass-through for the LAN side device. The LAN
side device can create a VPN tunnel to the VPN server.
The LTE CPE obtains the WAN IP address and passes it through to the PC (Case 1) or Router
(Case 2), and then the PC (Case 1) or Router (Case 2) can directly use the WAP IP address.
3.6 IPv6 Only and IPv4v6 Dual Stack
3.6.1 IPv4v6 Dual Stack
CPE provides dual stack function.
3.6.2 IPv6 Only (CLAT)
The LTE CPE supports IPv6 only with the transition solution CLAT for IPv4 device.
When the IPv6 only (CLAT) function is enabled, NAT-based functions (like DMZ/Port
Forwarding/Port tigger) cannot be used.
When an IPv4 device accesses the Internet, the performance is degraded because packets need
to be packetized and unpacked. However, IPv6 devices are not affected.
The B535-232 supports the establishment and maintenance of two APNs. These two APN
connections isolate data and remote management services on an operator's network.
The B535-232 supports an independent APN for CPE internal/TR-069.
3.8 HiLink
Supports up to 5 HiLink devices to connect to B535-232 through the WPS button to
create an expanded network.
Supports quick connection between a HiLink device (such as Honor set-up boxes and
Honor handsets running on EMUI 5.0 and later) and B535-232 through the WPS button.
3.9 Customer management
3.9.1 WebUI
The B535-232 supports local configuration through the Web UI. You can perform device
management and network configuration to ensure normal and stable performance.
3.9.2 HUAWEI SmartHome APP
Scan the QR code (can be found in the Quick Start Guide, giftbox and Web UI) to download
the Huawei SmartHome APP and configure the router from your phone.
3.10 Operator maintenance
The B535-232 supports Operator maintenance through the TR-069. Operator remote manages
the CPE software update/parameters configuration via TR-069.
The following describes the modules shown in Figure 4-1.
LTE access function: The B535-232 adopts the LTE access technology at the WAN side.
LAN access function: One 10/100/1000 Mbps high-speed Ethernet ports are provided at
the LAN side. The B535-232 provides the switching function for local networking and
sharing of the broadband network when it is connected to terminal devices.
AP function: An 802.11b/g/n/a/ac -compliant Wi-Fi AP interface is provided for wireless
networking at home. The interface is compliant with the IEEE 802.11b/g/n/a/ac standard
and the WEP, WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPA2-PSK security authentication mechanisms.
DHCP/DNS: The DHCP server dynamically allocates IP addresses to PCs.
Web-based management: You can configure the B535-232 and modify and view the
configuration of the B535-232.
IP routing protocol and NAT: The B535-232 has high-speed routing capability. With the
built-in NAT, the B535-232, together with LTE terminals, can provide flexible broadband
access solutions and networking schemes.
4.2 Scenario Constraints
The B535-232 is a household wireless broadband access product designed for use in scenarios
with relatively few network access devices and relatively low network reliability requirements,
such as homes or small office and home offices (SOHOs).
The B535-232 is not an enterprise-grade product. It cannot be used by medium- or large-sized
enterprises or in scenarios with high network reliability requirements, such as banks,
securities agencies, traffic control, and communications device backhaul.
The B535-232 has the following constraints:
When the IP Pass-Through mode is enabled, the HOTA function cannot be used.
When the L2TP/PPTP VPN client function is enabled, the throughput performance will
slow down.
A maximum of 64 devices can be connected to the Wi-Fi in theory; the actual number of
devices that can be connected and served depends on actual conditions.
