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.

Take the following steps to configure your OnCell G3150A-LTE. Refer to
the Panel Layout of the OnCell G3150A-LTE

section below for the location

of the ports and sockets.

Step 1: Insert a SIM card and turn on the OnCell G3150A-LTE

1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screws and remove the SIM card
cover.

2. Insert one or two 2G/3G/4G SIM cards (full-sized SIM/1FF) into the
SIM card slots located on the bottom of the OnCell G3150A-LTE.
If you are only using one SIM card, insert it in the top slot (slot 1; the
card in slot 1 is referred to as SIM1).
By default, the SIM card in the slot 1 is treated as the primary card.
To change the default to SIM2 (the card in slot 2), log in to the
OnCell’s web UI, and configure SIM2 as the primary card. When the
OnCell device is turned on, it boots up based on the configuration
information stored on the primary SIM card.

3. Turn on the OnCell G3150A-LTE by connecting a power terminal
block to a DC power source (12 to 48 VDC). For details refer to the
Connecting the Power Input

section.

4. Reattach the cover.

Step 2: Connect the OnCell G3150A-LTE to a notebook or PC

Since the OnCell G3150A-LTE supports MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, you can
use either a straight-through cable or crossover cable to connect the
OnCell G3150A-LTE to a computer. See the

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet
Port Connection section below for detailed instructions. If the LED
indicator on the OnCell G3150A-LTE’s LAN port lights up, it means a
connection has been established.

Step 3: Set up an IP address for the computer

Set an IP address 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 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

Step 4: Use the web-based manager to configure the OnCell
G3150A-LTE

Open your computer’s web browser and type http://192.168.127.254
in the address field to access the homepage of the web-based
management system. Before the homepage opens, you will need to enter
the username and password. For first-time configuration, enter the
default username and password given below:

Username: admin
Password: moxa

Click on the Login button.

ATTENTION

For security reasons, we strongly recommend changing the
password. To

change the password, select Maintenance 

Username/Password

, and then follow the on-screen

instructions.

NOTE

You must either click the Save Configuration or the Restart
button for the configuration changes to take effect.
