Installation and Configuration of the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02
Placement of your Router
Just like your mobile phone, the router’s location will affect its signal strength to the mobile base station (cell tower). The data speed achievable from the router is relative to this signal strength, which is affected by many environmental factors. Please keep in mind that the router will need adequate signal strength in order to provide Internet connectivity whilst choosing a location to place your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02.
Similarly, the wireless connection between your router and your WiFi devices will be stronger the closer your connected devices are to your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02. Your wireless connection and performance will degrade as the distance between your router and connected devices increases. This may or may not be directly noticeable, and is greatly affected by the individual installation environment.
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the wireless client to a position between three to five meters from the router in order to see if distance is the problem.
Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help. Please ensure that your router’s external antenna is positioned vertically (toward the ceiling).
If you experience difficulties connecting wirelessly between your WiFi Devices and your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02, please try the following steps:
In multi-storey homes, place the router on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This may mean placing the router on an upper floor.
Try not to place the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02.
Avoid obstacles and interference
Avoid placing your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 near devices that may emit radio “noise”, such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless communication include:
Refrigerators
Washers and/or dryers
Metal cabinets
Large aquariums
Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as those listed above are not blocking the signal’s path (between your devices and the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02).
Cordless Phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after considering the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
Try moving cordless phones away from your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 and your wireless-enabled
computers.
Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s
information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering with the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02.
If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your
wireless network. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 to
channel 11. See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.

Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless Network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless networks nearby that can conflict with your wireless network. Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless Utility of your wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available (see your wireless adapter’s user manual), and switch your router and computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible.
Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from neighbouring cordless phones or other wireless devices.

WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
The Wireless Distribution system allows the router’s network to be expanded, using connecting access points that are capable of using WDS mode. There are two methods of WDS that can be employed; WDS Bridge mode or WDS Repeater mode. In both WDS Bridge and Repeater modes the router and all associated access points must use the same Encryption type and encryption key as well as wireless channel (frequency).
Figure 32 - Advanced View - WDS Settings
In WDS Bridge mode the wireless signal of the router and each access point is used as a bridge with 100% of the wireless signal used to link the router and access points. This means network access can only be made through Ethernet cable connections. Wireless clients will not be able to connect to either the router or access points.

In WDS repeater mode, access points connect to the router and repeat the wireless signal of the router and also allow connections to wireless clients. The wireless signal is divided between linking the router and access points and also between access points and wireless clients. The distance possible between the router and access points is approximately halved when compared with WDS bridge mode

OPTION
DEFINITION
BG Protection Mode
A mechanism to enable the router to communicate with older legacy wireless network adapters that use 802.11b and
802.11g wireless protocols.
Beacon Interval:
The interval of time in which the wireless router broadcasts a beacon which is used to synchronize the wireless network.
Data Beacon Rate (DTIM):
Enter a value between 1 and 255 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
Fragment Threshold:
This specifies the maximum size of a packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in bad performance.
RTS Threshold:
When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
TX Power:
This determines the transmit or output power of the broadcast wireless signal.
Short Preamble
A radio preamble is a part of a datagram packet at the head of the Physical Layer Convergence Protocol (PLCP) to increase throughput. Shortening the preamble reduces the size of the data packet increasing throughput. However not all wireless network adapters are able to use this setting.
Short Slot
The amount of time the router waits after a packet collision before retransmitting the data packet. Enabling the short slot reduces this time from 20ms to 9ms, therefore increasing overall throughput.
Tx Burst
The Transmission Burst boosts the WLAN data packet throughput to maximise transmission rates according to the wireless protocol being used. However this may increase the rate of dropped packets due to environmental factors such as radio interference which can make the optimal wireless data packet transmission rate less than the maximum possible transmission rate.
Pkt_Aggregate
Packet Aggregation in IP networking is a function that concatenates multiple data packets into a single Transmission Unit to reduce redundancy and network traffic overhead.
Country Code
The Country Code option controls the wireless channels that the router can broadcast on, defined by each countries wireless regulations.
AP Isolation:
This feature allows you to isolate clients on your wireless network. To enable communication between the wireless clients connected to your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 set this option to Disabled. To terminate the communication between the wireless clients set this option to enabled.
MBSSID AP Isolation
The MBSSID AP Isolation function provides isolation among different SSIDs. When enabled this function prevents wireless client terminals with different SSIDs from communicating with each other.
BSSID
The Broadcast Service Set Identifier. Select ‘Disabled’ to hide the SSID of your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02. If disabled, other people will not be able scan and detect this product’s SSID.
WiFi Multimedia
WMM Capable:
The WMM (WiFi MultiMedia) option if enabled, supports QoS for experiencing better audio, video and voice in
applications.
APSD Capable
The Automatic Power Save Delivery (APSD) is the foundation function for WMM Power Save technology and allows
wireless clients to request queued traffic any time instead of having to wait for the next wireless beacon frame. It may
have greater efficiency with lighter traffic loads such as voice. The feature is disabled by default and should only be used
by experienced administrators.
DLS Capable
The Direct Link Setting (DLS) function allows all wireless client’s data to be transmitted effectively. If DSL is enabled, the
wireless LAN router attempts to optimise the connection quality and data transmission rates of all connected wireless
clients. The feature is disabled by default and should only be used by experienced administrators.
WMM Parameters:
Click on the WMM Configuration button to configure the WMM parameters.
Multicast-to-Unicast Converter
Multicast-to-Unicast
This function converts multicast data to unicast data and is disabled by default.
Others
HT TxStream
This option sets the stream number that wireless antenna transmits.
HT RxStream
This option sets the stream number that wireless antenna receives.
HT Physical Mode
Operating Mode
The options available for this field are Mixed Mode or Green Field. The default operation mode is Mixed Mode.
Channel Bandwidth
The channel bandwidth can be set to a mixed 20/40 MHz (the default value) giving an 802.11g connection speed of up
to 150 Mbps and an 802.11n connection speed of up to 300 Mbps. For legacy wireless adapters the Channel
Bandwidth can be set to 20 MHz slowing the connection speed for 802.11g and 802.11n to 54 Mbps and 74 Mbps
respectively as well as providing backward compatibility for older, slower 802.11b/g devices.
Guard Interval
The guard interval is designed to help wireless clients minimise the effects of multipath delays. When you add a guard
time the back portion of useful signal time is copied and appended to the front. The options available for this field are
Long or Auto. The default setting is Auto.
MCS
The Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) function sets the modulation, coding and number of spatial channels. The
default MCS value is Auto.
Reverse Direction Grant (RDG)
The Reverse Direction Grant (RDG) function reduces the transmitted data packet collision rate by using the reverse
direction protocol. The RDG improves transmission performance and scalability in a wireless environment. By default the
RDG setting is enabled.
Aggregation MSDU (A-MSDU)
The MAC Service Data Unit (MSDU) Aggregation function wraps multiple ethernet frames bound for a common
destination in a single 802.11 frame. This reduces the number of required packet headers making the transmission more
efficient.
Auto Block ACK
The 802.11n protocol uses the Auto Block ACK function for security of the data transmission. If a wireless client receives
a unicast A-MPDU (Aggregated MAC Packet Data Unit) frame, it should respond by sending back an ACK frame without
delay. A Block Acknowledgement reduces the number of the ACK frames while providing an individual
acknowledgement of each aggregated data frame.
Decline BA Request
The Decline BA Request function can be set to refuse block acknowledgement requests from wireless clients. Bydefault
this function is disabled.

System Monitor
Figure 53 - Advanced View - System Monitor Settings
The Periodic Ping Reset Monitor configures the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 to transmit controlled ping packets to user­specified IP addresses. If the router does not receive a response to the pings the router will reboot. The purpose of this feature is to ensure recovery of the device if the internet connection disconnects and does not reconnect for some reason.
This feature works as follows:-
At a time interval specified by the “Periodic Ping Timer” value in seconds, the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 sends 3 consecutive pings to the “Destination Address”.
If all 3 pings fail the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 sends 3 consecutive pings to the “Second Address”.
The NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 then sends 3 consecutive pings to the “Destination Address” and 3 consecutive pings to the “Second Address” at the time interval specified by the “Periodic Ping Accelerated Timer” value in seconds.
If all accelerated pings fail, the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 reboots after waiting the amount of time specified by the “Fail Count” value in seconds.
If any of the pings succeed, the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 returns to the first step and does not reboot.
Note: The “Periodic Ping Timer” should never be set to a value less than 60 seconds; this is to allow the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 time to reconnect to the cellular network following a reboot.
To disable the Periodic Ping Reset Monitor function, set the “Fail Count” option to a value of 0.
The NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 can be configured to automatically reboot at an interval specified in minutes. While this is not necessary, it does ensure that in the case of remote installations the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 will reboot if some anomaly occurs. The default value is 0 which disables the Periodic Reset Timer while the maximum value is 65535 minutes.

TR-069
The TR-069 (Technical Report 069) protocol is a technical specification also known as CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP). It is a framework for remote management and auto-configuration of end-user devices such as customer-premises equipment (CPE) and Auto Configuration Servers (ACS). It is particularly efficient in applying configuration updates across networks to multiple CPEs.
TR-069 uses a bi-directional SOAP/HTTP-based protocol based on the application layer protocol. Some cellular specific vendor extensions are supported by NetComm M2M series routers, with the data model available on request from NetComm.
TR-069 provides several benefits for the maintenance of a field of CPEs:
Simplifies the initial configuration of a device during installation
Enables easy restoration of service after a factory reset or replacement of a faulty device
Firmware and software version management
Diagnostics and monitoring
Note: In order to access and configure the TR-069 settings you must be logged into the router as the root user.

Additional Product Information
Using the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 to make and receive telephone calls
The NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 provides circuit switched voice services via two telephony line interfaces offering the ability to make and receive telephone calls via a regular analogue telephone using the mobile network.
Note: Please refer to your mobile service provider for activation of your voice service and information about the call
charges that apply.
It’s important to note that the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 has two separate line interfaces that share a single outbound/inbound telephone line. This means that handset(s) connected via one port will not be able to use the line at the same time as handsets connected via the other port.
If a call is already in progress via the first port, the user on the handset(s) connected to the second port will receive a busy signal. Incoming calls will ring and can be answered on either port, however once a call is answered from one port, handset(s) on the second port will receive a busy signal.
Handset requirements
The NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 allows you to make telephone calls over the mobile network using a standard analogue telephone via the built in RJ-11 Phone ports. Please refer to the documentation provided by the manufacturer of your analogue telephone for assistance with the operation of your telephone handset.
Maximum REN Loading
Please note that each of the line interfaces on the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 is capable of supporting multiple analogue telephones connected via splitters. The ringer equivalence number (REN) for each line is 5. Therefore, a maximum of 5 handsets each with a REN number of 1 can be connected to each line port.
Before you start make any phone call, make sure you have checked the following:
1. You have an activated SIM card inserted prior to powering on the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02.
2. Your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 is powered on and in running condition.
3. A working analogue telephone is connected into either the Line 1 or Line 2 port.
4. You hear the dial tone and the Line LED on the front of your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 should light up after lifting
the handset.
How to place a call
To make a call, simply lift the handset, listen for a dial tone and then dial the number following the instructions provided by your telephone handset manufacturer.
How to receive a call
When an incoming call is received, both Line 1 and Line 2 lights will start flashing and any phones connected to the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 will ring. Answer the telephone following the instructions provided by your telephone handset manufacturer to conduct the call.
Please note: If the call is answered from a telephone connected to Line 1, telephones connected to Line 2 will receive an engaged tone for the duration of the call.

FAQ
1. Does the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 require any configuration out of the box?
No, the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 is plug and play device. Plug the device into an electrical outlet and once the status indicator lights are on, plug in your analogue phone and LAN cable for voice and data connectivity. For WiFi connectivity the SSID (Service Set Identifier) and network key (password) are located on the bottom of the device. If you would like to customize your settings you can enter 192.168.20.1 into your Web browser to access the Management Console and device settings.
2. I cannot seem to access the web page interface
The default IP address of the unit is 192.168.20.1, so first try to open a web browser to this address. Also check that your laptop/ PC is on the same subnet as the router’s Ethernet port i.e. The PC’s assigned IP address is in the range of
192.168.20.x where x = 100 – 254.
3. The router was connected previously but now cannot get back online
You may need to enable the periodic ping timer using the System Monitor Link from the Management Console. This ensures that if the connection drops (i.e. due to an outage on the network) the router will reboot after so many failed pings and then force a re-connect. Setting the timer to around 15 minutes should be sufficient.
Note: The traffic generated by the periodic ping feature is counted as chargeable usage, please keep this in mind when selecting how often to ping.
4. The router is rebooting frequently.
Check the System Monitor link in the Administration menu on the management console and see if the Periodic Reset timeout is set to something other than 0. If it is set to 1 this means the unit will reboot every minute regardless of what happens. Reset the Periodic Reset timeout to 0 if you don’t want to use this feature or to a value that is something quite large if you don’t want the router to reboot so often.
5. The router has a connection but cannot access the internet.
Check whether the DNS Proxy function is enabled by clicking on the LAN link on the configuration interface. Make sure that the DHCP Primary DNS server IP address is set to the same address as that of the Ethernet port.
6. I cannot seem to get a mobile broadband WAN connection.
Click on the Internet Settings > WWAN link on the webpage interface and check that the correct APN settings are entered.
Check that the username and password credentials are correct if the APN in use requires these.
Make sure that Always On is selected for the Operation mode.
Check you have suitable mobile broadband signal strength and that your SIM is active and does not require a PIN code to be entered.
7. The SIM status indicates that the SIM is “not installed or reboot required” on the home page.
If a SIM is installed correctly this may indicate that the SIM has been removed or inserted whilst the unit is powered up. In this case you must reboot the unit. The Reset button on the home page will reboot the router.
8. How can I see the data usage on my NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02?
You can check your current Usage statistics by clicking on the “Usage Monitor” link at the top of the Status Page in the
Advanced View.
9. Can I make voice calls from the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02?
Yes. By simply connecting a regular landline (analogue) telephone to the port labelled Line 1 using the RJ-11 Cable provided. To activate the phone jacks in your home or office connect an RJ-11 Cable from the port labelled “Line 2” to any wall jack. When you lift the receiver you should hear a dial tone and then be able to place your call.
10. How do I see if I have a voicemail message waiting to be listened to?
Voicemail is a feature of the network and your service, not a feature embedded in the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 device. If you have a voicemail message waiting you will hear an intermittent dial tone on your phone, and if your phone has a message waiting indicator light, it will be lit.

11. Is the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 secure; can other people access my wireless network?
The NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 comes configured with WPA-PSK WiFi security enabled. When access the Internet for the first time enter 192.168.20.1 into the address bar of a web browser. The wizard will pop up to help you configure your wireless devices (such as laptops and mobile phones) to connect with the WPA-PSK security setting (please see the Quick Start Guide for more information on connecting your data devices to the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02). Only those people you allow will be able to connect to the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 the router using the wireless security key, ensuring your connection is secure and safe.
12. Can I change the name and password of my wireless network?
Yes. You can change your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 settings from the browser user interface by typing
192.168.20.1 into the address bar of your Web browser. You can change the SSID (Service Set Identifier or wireless network name), wireless security standard (WPA, WPA2, WEP) and your WiFi password.
13. How do I share my Internet connection, using the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02, with other users?
Provide any users you want to share your WiFi Internet connection with, the SSID (Service Set Identifier) and WiFi network password for your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 router. Each user will need to select the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 SSID, on their WiFi enabled computer or device and enter the network password you provide.
14. What is the difference between upload and download speeds and why do they differ?
Upload describes when data packets are sent (e.g. emails) from your computer and download describes when data packets are received via the Internet. For most people, downloading data for information retrieval (such as viewing a website) is the primary function of their internet connection so most Internet service Providers will assign a higher download bandwidth (equating to a higher speed) than that assigned for uploading data. The speeds at which upload and download operate depend on the way you use the Internet and the size of files you send and receive.
15. Do I need to attach an antenna on this device?
Yes. Your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 comes equipped with an antenna; you will need to attach the 3G antenna to send and receive data using the 3G network broadcast signal.
16. I have lost the security card that came with the setup instructions. What can I do?
If you have lost your security card, and forgotten the wireless security details (SSID and WiFi network password), there is a label stuck to the base of your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 with all your original security details. If the label is unreadable or has been removed, the WiFi network password can be viewed/reset by logging in to the Management Console using an Ethernet Cable connected to the LAN port of the NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02.
17. I forgot my Management Console password. What can I do?
If you have forgotten your Management Console password and cannot access the Web user interface, you will need to reset your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 back to default settings. To return your device to factory default settings press and hold the reset button on the back of your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02 for 10-15 seconds. All the indicator lights on the unit will flash when your device is reset. After a factory reset, use the default WiFi settings (SSID and WPA key) to access the router via wireless. These settings can be found on the base of your NetComm Wireless 3G27WV-02. (Note - this will also reset any custom settings and passwords you may have already set up).
