First—time Installation and Configuration

Before installing the OnCell G3150A-LTE, make sure that all items in the package checklist are in the box. In

addition, you will need access to a notebook computer or PC equipped with an Ethernet port. The OnCell

G3150A-LTE has a default IP address that you must use when connecting to the device for the first time.

Step 1: Install a SIM Card

Insert one or two 2G/3G/4G SIM cards into the SIM slots located on the bottom of the OnCell G3150A-LTE.

OnCell G3150A-LTE’s

in one of the slots, do the

1. Turn off the OnCell G3150A-LTE.

2. Remove the screw on the SIM card slot cover.

3. Install a SIM card into the SIM card slot.

a. For SIM 1, orient the card such that the gold

contacts are facing down and the cut-off edge is

the left.

b. For SIM 2, orient the card such that the gold

contacts are facing up and the cut-off edge is

right.

4. Put back the screw on the SIM card slot cover and

secure the cover by tightening the screw.

Step 2: Turn On the OnCell G3150A-LTE

Turn on the OnCell G3150A-LTE by connecting the power terminal block to a DC power source.

Step 3: Connect the OnCell G3150A-LTE to a Computer

Since the OnCell G3150A-LTE supports MDI/MDI-X autosensing, you can use either a straight-through cable or

crossover cable to connect the OnCell G3150A-LTE to a computer. When a connection is established, the LED

indicator on the OnCell G3150A-LTE's LAN port lights up.

Step 4: Configure an IP Address for the Computer

You must set an IP address for the computer so that it is on the same subnet as the OnCell G3150A-LTE. Since

the OnCell G3150A-LTE’s default IP address is 192.168.127.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0,

you should set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.127.xxx.

Step 6: Establish a Cellular Connection

After installing the SIM card, obtain the SIM card PIN and APN (Access Point Name) information from your

service provider and configure the cellular WAN settings.

To configure the cellular WAN settings and establish a cellular connection:

1. Log in to the web console.

2. Go to Cellular Settings > Cellular WAN Settings and enter the SIM card PIN and APN values.

3. Restart the OnCell G3150A-LTE.

The OnCell G3150A-LTE automatically establishes a cellular connection to the service provider after it

restarts.

Step 7: Verify the Cellular Connection

You can use one of the following methods to verify the cellular connection:

1. Check the LED display.

Check the SIM 1, SIM2, 2G, 3G, and 4G LEDs on the front panel.

If an LED on the SIM card slot is blinking, it could mean that no SIM card is installed in the SIM slot or the

SIM card PIN is not configured in the web console.

If the installed SIM card supports 3G or 4G service but only the 2G LED is turned on, this indicates that the

OnCell G3150A-LTE is connected to the cellular network but is not registered for 3G or 4G service. Make

sure that you enter the correct APN information in the web console.

2. Check the Overview page in the web console.

and Cellular Mode fields to identify any connection problems.

For Cellular RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication), make sure that the value is above 12 in order to

maintain a stable connection.

If the Cellular WAN IP address is not available but the Cellular RSSI is more than 12, make sure that the APN

configuration is correct. The service provider might assign a private WAN IP address, which is not accessible

externally.

3. Test the cellular network access on your computer.

Users with public SIM cards (instead of SIM cards with MDVPN service enabled) can test the connection to

the Internet on your computer (assuming that your computer is connected to an Ethernet port on the

OnCell G3150A-LTE).

An example of the configuration settings on the computer is given below:

• Laptop IP Address: 192.168.127.10 (on the same subnet as the OnCell gateway)

• Laptop Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (on the same subnet as the OnCell gateway)

• Laptop Default Gateway: 192.168.127.254 (the OnCell gateway IP address)

• Laptop Primary DNS Server: 8.8.8.8 (test with Google's public DNS server)

• Laptop Primary DNS Server: 8.8.4.4 (test with Google's public DNS server)

After the configuration process is complete, your computer will be able to access the Internet.

For information on testing the connection with a DHCP server, refer to Chapter 3, Advanced Settings, DHCP

Server.

The OnCell G3150A-LTE provides you with a scheduling function for managing your cellular connection.

Depending on your application, you can use the scheduling function to specify when the radio should be turned

on/off, when to disconnect the data transmission, or go into SMS-only mode and enable data transmission only

during emergencies.

If you install two SIM cards in the OnCell G3150A-LTE, you can select the Dual SIM mode and enable the

GuaranLink feature to enable the OnCell G3150A-LTE to regularly check the connection quality and perform an

GuaranLink

A number of factors can contribute to connection failures for cellular communications, including loss of cellular

signal, interference, and termination by the operator for unknown reasons. Moxa’s proprietary GuaranLink

feature, which is different from the basic heartbeat function, enables reliable connectivity with 4-tier intelligent

connection checks without sending excessive and costly cellular packets.

GuaranLink Recovery Process for Dual SIM Connections

The GuaranLink feature in OnCell G3150A-LTE automatically tries to re-establish a connection when a

connection failure occurs by performing one of the following actions depending on the number of SIM cards

enabled in the device:

• One SIM card: GuaranLink resets the cellular module without rebooting the device to force negotiation

between the OnCell G3150A-LTE and the base station.

• Dual SIM cards: When the preferred SIM card fails to establish a connection, GuaranLink resets the cellular

module without rebooting the device and establishes a cellular connection using the second SIM card

account.

• If SIM 1 is chosen but SIM card is installed only in SIM 2 slot, no action will be performed. Please ensure that

a SIM card is installed in the SIM card slot that you have selected for operation.

• If one of the SIM cards is absent or not readable, GuaranLink will automatically force a cellular connection

using the other SIM card account. The system log will record this event. If the second SIM card is also

absent or cannot be read, GuaranLink will not try again.

• If the cellular connection cannot be recovered by resetting the cellular module up to 30 times, the OnCell

device will automatically reboot.

Overview—OnCell G3150A-LTE OpenVPN Feature

The OnCell G3150A-LTE OpenVPN:

• Provides SSL/TLS (layer-4) security in a network with gateway-to-gateway topology. It can create either a

layer-3 based IP tunnel (TUN), or a layer-2 based Ethernet (TAP) that can carry any type of Ethernet traffic.

• Supports both server and client mode communication through TCP/UDP to transfer encrypt data

• Provides server mode to push the network behind the OnCell G3150A-LTE to the server site so as to make

end-to-end connection possible (Figure 1)

• Acts as an OpenVPN server to force gateway routing and redirect all external connections only through the

VPN server’s gateway. (Figure2)

• Enables the OnCell G3150A-LTE to act as an OpenVPN server to allow duplicate OpenVPN clients access

under the same account name. This also allows OpenVPN clients to communicate with each site. (Figure 3)

Serial Port Settings

In this section, we describe the various operation modes of the OnCell G3150A-LTE. The OnCell G3150A-LTE

modes are grouped by type of application, such as Device Control. The options include an operation mode that

relies on a driver installed on the host computer, and operation modes that rely on TCP/IP socket programming

concepts.

The OnCell G3150A-LTE can enable cellular network-in a serial device. OnCell G3150A-LTE device is assigned

an IP address by the Internet service provider (ISP). In addition, the OnCell G3150A-LTE can enable cellular

connectivity in Ethernet devices on the local Ethernet. See the OnCell Central Manager user’s manual for

details.

The OnCell G3150A-LTE enables traditional serial (RS-232/422/485) devices for transmitting data over the

cellular network. The IP gateway is a computer equipped with a CPU and TCP/IP protocols that can

bi-directionally translate data between the serial and IP formats. With the OnCell G3150A-LTE, your computer

will be able to access, manage, and configure remote facilities and equipment over the cellular network from

anywhere in the world.

OnCell G3150A-LTE Web Console Configuration

3-43

Traditional SCADA and data collection systems rely on serial ports to collect data from various kinds of

instruments. Since the OnCell G3150A-LTE network-enables instruments equipped with an RS-232, RS-422, or

RS-485 communication port, your SCADA and data collection system will be able to access all instruments

connected to a standard TCP/IP network, regardless of whether the devices are used locally or at a remote site.

The OnCell G3150A-LTE is an external IP-based network device that allows you to expand a serial port for a

host computer on demand. As long as your host computer supports the TCP/IP protocol, you will not be limited

by the host computer’s bus limitation (such as ISA or PCI), nor will you be limited if you do not have drivers for

various operating systems.

In addition to providing socket access, the OnCell G3150A-LTE also comes with a Real COM driver and a

Reverse Real COM driver that transmits all serial signals intact. This enables you to preserve your existing

COM-based software without needing to invest in additional software.

Three different socket modes are available: TCP Server, TCP Client, and UDP. The main difference between the

TCP and UDP protocols is that TCP guarantees delivery of data by requiring the recipient to send an

acknowledgement to the sender. UDP does not require this type of verification, making it possible to offer faster

delivery. UDP also allows you to unicast data to one IP, or multicast the data to a group of IP addresses.

Operation Mode

Serial Port Settings

Port Setting Basics

To configure the operation mode and settings for a port, expand Serial Port Settings in the navigation panel,

and then expand the port that you would like to configure. Individual port settings are grouped into three

categories in the navigation panel: Operation Modes, Communication Parameters, and Data Buffering/Log.

Disabled Mode

When the Application is set to Disable, the relevant port will be disabled.

Device Control Applications

The OnCell G3150A-LTE offers the following modes for device control applications: Real COM, Reverse Real

COM, and RFC2217 modes.

Real COM Mode

In Real COM mode, the bundled drivers are able to establish a transparent connection between a host and a

serial device by mapping the serial port on the OnCell G3150A-LTE to a local COM port on the host computer.

Real COM mode supports up to 2 simultaneous connections that enable 2 hosts to simultaneously collect data

from the same serial device.

One of the major conveniences of using Real COM mode is that it allows you to use software that was written

for pure serial communication applications. The OnCell COM driver intercepts data sent to the host’s COM port,

packs it into a TCP/IP packet, and then redirects it through the host’s Ethernet card to the Internet. At the other

end of the connection, the OnCell G3150A-LTE accepts the IP frame from the cellular network, unpacks the

TCP/IP packet, and then transparently sends the data through the serial port to the attached serial device.

Types of Real COM Connection

This section illustrates the types of Real COM connections you can use, depending on the service you obtain

from your local cellular service provider.

Fixed Public IP for OnCell

If your cellular service provider offers a fixed public IP address after you connect to the cellular network, you

can access the OnCell G3150A-LTE via a host PC using either a private IP or public IP.

Utilize Auto IP report

If your cellular service provider offers a dynamic public IP address after you connect to the cellular network,

you can access the OnCell G3150A-LTE via a host PC using a fixed public IP. Since the IP address of the OnCell

G3150A-LTE is changed each time it is connected to the cellular network, the host IP can be notified of the

change by an Auto IP Report message sent from the OnCell G3150A-LTE. Please refer to Auto IP Report

Settings to see the format of the Auto IP Report Protocol.

Domain name with DDNS

If your cellular service provider offers a public IP address after you connect to the cellular network, you can also

access the OnCell G3150A-LTE using the domain name. To do this, you will need to register with a DDNS

service provider and then enable the DDNS function in the OnCell G3150A-LTE. Please refer to Appendix B for

more information.

RFC 2217 Mode

RFC-2217 mode is similar to Real COM mode in that a driver is used to establish a transparent connection

between a host computer and a serial device by mapping the serial port on the OnCell G3150A-LTE to a local

COM port on the host computer. RFC2217 defines general COM port control options based on the Telnet

protocol. Third party drivers supporting RFC-2217 are widely available on the Internet and can be used to

implement virtual COM mapping to your OnCell G3150A-LTE’s serial port.

COM is a great feature that allows a PC host to access an OnCell G3150A-LTE configured with private IP

address.

Socket Applications

The OnCell G3150A-LTE offers the following modes for socket applications: TCP Server, TCP Client, and UDP.

TCP Server Modes

In TCP Server mode, the serial port on the OnCell G3150A-LTE is assigned a port number. The host computer

initiates contact with the OnCell G3150A-LTE, establishes the connection, and receives data from the serial

device. This operation mode also supports up to 2 simultaneous connections, enabling multiple hosts to collect

data from the same serial device at the same time.

As illustrated in the figure, data transmission proceeds as follows: The host requests a connection from the

OnCell G3150A-LTE, which is configured for TCP Server mode. Once the connection is established, data can be

transmitted in both directions between the host and the OnCell G3150A-LTE.

TCP Server mode includes optional data encryption using SSL

If your cellular service provider offers a fixed public IP address after you connect to the cellular network, you

can access the OnCell G3150A-LTE from a host PC using either a private IP or public IP.

Using Auto IP report

If your cellular service provider offers a dynamic public IP address after you connect to the cellular network,

you can access the OnCell G3150A-LTE from a host PC using a fixed public IP. Since the IP address of the OnCell

G3150A-LTE is changed every time it is connected to the cellular network, the host IP can be aware of the

change by the Auto IP Report message sent from the OnCell G3150A-LTE. Please refer to Auto IP report

Domain name with DDNS

If your cellular service provider offers a public IP address after you connect to the cellular network, you can also

use the domain name to access the OnCell G3150A-LTE. You would need to register with a DDNS service

provider and then enable the DDNS function in the OnCell G3150A-LTE. Please refer to Appendix B for more

information.

Connecting TCP client and TCP server within the same cellular service provider

In order to connect properly, the IP addresses of the two OnCell devices must belong to the same subnetwork.

To ensure that this is the case, use the same cellular service provider to connect the devices to the network. In

TCP Client Modes

In TCP Client mode, the OnCell G3150A-LTE can actively establish a TCP connection to a pre-defined host

computer when serial data arrives. After the data has been transferred, the OnCell G3150A-LTE can

automatically disconnect from the host computer by using the Inactivity time settings.

As illustrated in the figure below, data transmission proceeds as follows:

Types of TCP Client Connection

TCP Client to PC’s IP address

The OnCell G3150A-LTE will only be able to connect to a host PC if the PC is using a public IP address.

OnCell G3150A-LTE Web Console Configuration

3-64

TCP Client to PC’s domain name

To connect to a host PC, the host PC must be configured with public IP address. If it is using a dynamic public

IP, then the OnCell G3150A-LTE can connect to it using the host’s domain name. Please refer to Appendix B for

more information.

Connecting TCP client and TCP server within the same cellular service provider

In order to connect properly, the IP addresses of the two OnCell devices must belong to the same subnetwork.

To ensure that this is the case, use the same cellular service provider to connect the devices to the network. In

addition, you will need to request that the cellular service provider provide you with two private IP addresses

(e.g., 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2).

UDP Mode

Compared to TCP communication, UDP is faster and more efficient. In UDP mode, you can unicast to one host

or multicast to multiple hosts and the serial device can receive data from one or multiple host computers. These

traits make UDP mode especially well-suited for message display applications.

Types of UDP Connection

Fixed Public IPs for both OnCell and Host PC

If your cellular service provider offers a fixed public IP address after you connect to the cellular network, you

can access the OnCell G3150A-LTE from a host PC that has a fixed public IP.

Domain name with DDNS

If your cellular service provider assigns a public IP address after you connect to the cellular network, you can

also access the OnCell G3150A-LTE using the domain name. If your service provider assigns a public IP address

(either fixed or dynamic) to your cellular device and your control center is the side that initiates the connection,

you can enable the DDNS function and UDP mode to allow other devices on the Internet to connect to your

device using its domain name. This will ensure that your device will remain reachable even when its public IP

address is updated. Note that you will need to register your device with a DDNS server. Please refer to

Logs and Notification

Since industrial-grade devices are often located at the endpoints of a system, these devices will not always

know what is happening elsewhere on the network. This means that these devices must provide system

maintainers with real-time alarm messages. Even when system administrators are out of the control room for

an extended period, they can still be informed of the status of devices almost instantaneously when exceptions

occur.

In addition to logging these events, the OnCell G3150A-LTE supports different approaches to warn engineers

automatically, such as SNMP trap, e-mail, and relay output. It also supports two digital inputs to integrate

sensors into your system to automate alarms by email and relay output.
