NTC-40 Series – HSPA+ M2M WiFi Router
Product Features
The NTC-40 is a robust 3G (HSPA+) router is designed to provide real-time M2M data connectivity even in harsh environments, and allows you to build wide area networks utilising the superior speeds supported by 3G UMTS networks.
The router integrates a powerful mobile broadband module and delivers download speeds of up to 21Mbps which is then transmitted via Ethernet to a WiFi router inside the property.
Utilising a NetComm Wireless M2M router allows customers to significantly reduce the cost for the deployment and operation of new products and services in remote locations. Using mobile data networks, wireless Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication enables the secure collection and analysis of data from remote unmanned locations.
The NTC-40 provides the user a point-to-point or point-to-multi-point communications link in a single, compact and resilient unit. As a fully featured cellular router, it supports a large number of communication interfaces and protocols to meet the demands of today’s telemetry and WAN applications.
The integrated telephone adapter (NTC-40WV only) connects standard analogue phone handsets to the NTC-40. It allows for phone calls to be made over the 3G UMTS network from inside the premise for a full landline replacement.
The device’s powerful processor delivers optimal performance and it’s embedded NetComm Linux OS and Software Development Kit (SDK) offers the end user the capability to install custom firmware to the on-board flash memory via the programming interface. Built in VPN clients also ensure a secure connection over a public mobile network.
Designed with remote installation in mind the NTC-40 series supports multi-level system monitoring giving the user peace of mind the device will keep the lines of communication up and open.
In the event of system corruption, a built-in recovery mode provides the facility to re-install the system software to the router and resume normal operations quickly.

Internet Settings
This section describes how to set up the router to initiate a mobile broadband connection. There are 2 different ways to set up a mobile broadband connection via PPP:
Initiating the PPP Connection directly from the router (most common).
Initiating the PPP Connection from a different PPP client (i.e. laptop or router) with the router running in transparent PPPoE mode.
Mobile Broadband
Connection
Click on the “Internet Settings” menu followed by “Mobile Broadband“ and then the “Connection” menu item on the right.
Figure 12 - Connection Settings
To connect using a Connection profile
The router supports multiple APN profiles; these profiles allow you to configure the settings that the router will use to connect to the 3G network. By default, the “Profile 1” profile is selected. If the “Automatically configure my mobile broadband” option is selected the router should automatically detect the applicable APN from the inserted SIM after a reboot.
You can also manually enter the connection details by performing the following steps:
1. Select the profile that you wish to configure
2. Enter a name for the connection (if needed) in the “Change Profile Name” field.
3. Select the appropriate connection type.
4. Enter the APN (and if required the username and password).
5. Select “Enable” for the Auto Connect option.
6. Select the Authentication Type.
7. Enter the Reconnect Delay (if needed - the default should be suitable in most cases).
8. Enter the number of Reconnection attempts the router should make.
9. Enter the network metric for the connection.
10. Select to enable or disable NAT Masquerading for the connection.
11. Click Save

To confirm successful connection
1. Click on the Status menu item at the top of the page to return to the Status page.
2. The WWAN (mobile broadband) status should be ’’up”.
3. The Local field should show the current IP address that the network has allocated for the router.
4. Congratulations. Your new router is now ready to use!
PPPoE
The PPPoE page is used to configure a transparent PPPoE connection. This can be used to provide a bridged connection.
To enable PPPoE mode, firstly ensure the “Auto Connect” is disabled in all the profiles on the “Connection” configuration page by clicking on the “Internet Settings” menu followed by “Mobile Broadband“ and then the “Connection” menu item on the right and
select each connection profile and disable the Auto Connection option and save the updated settings..
Figure 13 - PPPoE Settings
1. Select “Enable” to enable PPPoE.
2. Specify the APN supplied by your 3G provider.
3. Specify a “Service Name”. (Optional)
This is particularly useful if you have more than one PPPoE router or modem on a single Ethernet network.
Click “Save” to save your settings and enable PPPoE.

Band / Provider
The band settings page enables you to select which frequency band you will use for your connection and enable you to scan for available network operators in your area.
Figure 14 - Band / Provider Selection
You may want to do this if you’re using the router in a country with multi frequency networks that may not all support HSPA. You can select the router to only connect on the network frequencies that suit your requirements.

SIM Security
The SIM Security page can be used for authenticating SIM cards that have been configured with a security PIN code. The security PIN code protection can also be enabled or disabled on this page.
Figure 16 - Internet Settings - Mobile Broadband - SIM Security
If the SIM card is locked you will need to unlock it with a PIN provided with your SIM card. You can find out if the SIM is locked by viewing the SIM Status on the Status page:
Figure 17 - SIM Security - Status Page Warning
If the SIM Status is “SIM PIN” as above then do the following:
a) Click on the “Internet Settings” menu at the top of the page and then the “SIM Security” item from the WWAN (3G)
menu item on the right.
Figure 18 - SIM Security - SIM PIN Needed
b) Enter the PIN code in the “PIN” field and then enter it again in the “Confirm PIN” field to confirm the PIN code.
Please note: You can also select to “Remember PIN” so that entering the PIN code each time the SIM is inserted is not
required. Alternatively you can also disable SIM PIN protection by selecting to “Disable PIN” from the “PIN Protection” drop down menu.
c) Click Save.
Enter PUK
After three incorrect attempts at entering the PIN code, you are requested to enter a PUK code.
Please note: You will need to contact your 3G provider to obtain this number.
Your carrier will issue you a PUK code to enable you to unlock the SIM and enter a new PIN code. Enter the new PIN and PUK codes and click Save.

Remember PIN
This feature allows the router to automatically send the PIN to the SIM each time the SIM asks for it (usually at power up). This enables the SIM to be PIN Locked (to prevent unauthorised re-use of the SIM elsewhere), while still allowing the router to connect to the cellular service.
When this feature is enabled the PIN entered by the user when they set the “Remember PIN” feature is encrypted and stored locally in the router. The next time the SIM asks the router for the PIN the router decrypts the PIN and automatically sends it to the SIM without user intervention.
When this feature is disabled and the SIM is PIN locked, the PIN must be manually entered via the router‘s configuration interface. This is clearly not desirable where the router is unattended.

LAN
IP Setup
The IP Setup page is used to configure the LAN Settings of the router and to enable or disable DNS Masquerade.
Figure 20 - IP Setup Settings
The default IP of the Ethernet port is 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. To change this, enter the new IP Address and/or Subnet mask and click “Save”.
Please note: If the IP address has changed you will have to re-enter the new IP address configured in your browser to
access the configuration pages.
DNS Masquerading
DNS masquerading allows the router to forward DNS requests to dynamically assigned DNS servers. Clients on the router’s LAN can then use the router as a DNS server without needing to know of the dynamically assigned DNS servers assigned by the cellular network.
There should be no need to disable this feature in most cases, however, if you need to do so simply select “Disable” and click the Save button.
