2.0 Quick Start

This QUICK START guide will walk you through the setup and process required to access the WebUI configuration window and to establish a basic wireless connection to your carrier.

Note that the units arrive from the factory with the Local Network setting configured as

‘Static’ (IP Address 192.168.168.1, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, and Gateway

192.168.168.1), in DHCP server mode. (This is for the LAN Ethernet Adapter on the back of

the IPnXGii unit.

2.1 Installing the SIM Card

 Before the IPnXGii can be used on a cellular network a valid SIM Card for your Wireless

Carrier must be installed. Insert the SIM Card into the slot as shown, the top SIM slot is

for SIM1:

To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the CFG button for 8 seconds with the IPnXGii

powered up. The LED’s

will flash quickly and the IP4G will reboot with factory defaults.

Use the MHS-supplied power adapter or an equivalent power source.

The unit can also be powered via PoE using a MHS PoE injector.

2.2 Getting Started with Cellular

 Connect the Antenna’s to the applicable ANTENNA jack’s of the IPnXGii.

 Connect the power connector to the power adapter and apply power to the unit, the CPU

LED will flash during boot-up, once on solid, proceed to the next step.

2.0 Quick Start

 Connect A PC configured for DHCP directly to the LAN port of the IPnXGii, using an

Ethernet Cable. If the PC is configured for DHCP it will automatically acquire a IP Address

from the IPnXGii.

 Open a Browser Window and enter the IP address 192.168.168.1 into the address bar.

The factory default network settings:

IP: 192.168.168.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.168.1

 The IPnXGii will then ask for a Username and Password. Enter the factory defaults listed

below.

192.168.168.1

The Factory default login:

User name: admin Password: admin

The factory default login:

User name: admin Subnet: admin

It is always a good idea to change the default admin login for future security.

2.0 Quick Start

 Once successfully logged in, the System Summary page will be displayed.

 As seen above under Carrier Status, the SIM card is installed, but an APN has not been

specified. Setting the APN to auto (default) may provide quick network connectivity, but

may not work with some carriers, or with private APN’s. To set or change the APN, click

Auto APN: The IPnXGii will attempt to detect the carrier based on the SIM card installed and cycle through a

list of commonly used APN’s

to provide quick network connectivity.

on the Carrier > Settings tab and enter the APN supplied by your carrier in the APN field. Some carriers may also require a Username and Password.

 Once the APN and any other required information is entered to connect to your carrier,

click on “Submit”.

 Verizon Models do not require a APN and will Auto Connect if a valid SIM card is inserted.

2.0 Quick Start

 On the Carrier > Status Tab, verify that a WAN IP Address has been assigned by your

carrier. It may take a few minutes, so try refreshing the page if the WAN IP Address doesn’t show up right away. The Activity Status should also show “Connected”.

 If you have set a static IP on your PC, you may need to add the DNS Servers shown in

the Carrier Status Menu to you PC to enable internet access.

 Congratulations! Your IPnXGii is successfully connected to your Cellular Carrier.

Ensure the default passwords are changed.

Set up appropriate firewall rules to block unwanted incoming data.

 To access devices connected to IPnXGii remotely, one or more of the following must be

configured: IP-Passthrough, Port Forwarding, DMZ. Another option would be to set up a VPN.

 Ensure that all default passwords are changed to limit access to the modem.

 For best practices and to limit data charges it is critical to properly set up the firewall.

(Especially important for Public Static IP addresses.)

Image 4-0-1: WebUI

Initial configuration of an IPnXGii using the Web User (Browser) Interface (Web UI) method involves the following steps:

 configure a static IP Address on your PC to match the default subnet or if your PC is configured for

DHCP, simply connect a PC to the LAN port of the IPnXGii and it will be assigned a IP address automatically.

 connect the IPnXGii ETHERNET(LAN) port to PC NIC card using an Ethernet cable

 apply power to the IPnXGii and wait approximately 60 seconds for the system to load

 open a web browser and enter the factory default IP address(192.168.168.1) of the unit:

 logon window appears; log on using default Username: admin Password: admin

 use the web browser based user interface to configure the IPnXGii as required.

 refer to Section 2.0: Quick Start for step by step instructions.

In this section, all aspects of the Web Browser Interface, presented menus, and available configuration options will be discussed.
