Installation and Configuration of the 3G38WV-TS

Placement of your 3G38WV-TS

Just like your mobile phone, the 3G38WV-TS’s location will affect its signal strength to the TELUS Mobile Base Station (Cell Tower). The data speed achievable from the 3G38WV-TS is relative to this signal strength, which is affected by many environmental factors. Please keep in mind that the 3G38WV-TS will need adequate signal strength in order to provide Internet connectivity whilst choosing a location to place your 3G38WV-TS.

Similarly, the wireless connection between your 3G38WV-TS and your Wi-Fi devices will be stronger the closer your connected devices are to your 3G38WV-TS. Your wireless connection and performance will degrade as the distance between your 3G38WVTS 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 computer to a position between three to five meters from the 3G38WV-TS in order to see if distance is the problem.

Please 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 3G38WV-TS’s 4G external antenna is positioned vertically (toward the ceiling).

If you experience difficulties connecting wirelessly between your Wi-Fi Devices and your 3G38WV-TS, please try the following steps:



In multi-storey homes, place the 3G38WV-TS on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This may mean placing the 3G38WV-TS on an upper floor.



Try not to place the 3G38WV-TS near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the 3G38WV-TS (2.4GHz).

Avoid obstacles and interference

Avoid placing your 3G38WV-TS 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 3G38WV-TS).

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 3G38WV-TS 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 3G38WV-TS.



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 3G38WV-TS 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.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK A newer type of security is WPA-PSK (TKIP) and WPA2-PSK (AES). This type of security gives a more secure network compare to WEP. Use TKIP Encryption Type for WPA-PSK and AES for WPA2-PSK. After that, please enter the key in the Passphrase field. The key needs to be more than 8 characters and less than 63 characters and it can be any combination of letters and numbers.

Please note that the configuration for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK is identical.

Figure 44 - Advanced View - Wi-Fi Security Settings - WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

Your 3G38WV-TS uses WPA2-PSK by default. Check your Wireless Security Card or the device label on the bottom of the 3G38WV-TS for your default SSID and Security key to begin connecting your wireless devices.

802.1x In order to use 802.1X security, you need to have a RADIUS server on your network that will act as the authentication server. Please type in the details for your RADIUS server in the fields required.

Please note: After configuring wireless security, you also need to configure your wireless adapter to use the same security

settings before you can connect wirelessly. Not all wireless adapters support WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK/WPA/WPA2 security;

Please refer to your wireless adapter user guide for more details. It is strongly recommended to set up a simple wireless

security such as WPA-PSK (when the wireless client supports WPA-PSK) in order to secure your network.

Most wireless adapters in computers and laptops support at least WEP and WPA.

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:-



Every ‚Periodic Ping Timer‛ value in seconds, the 3G38WV-TS sends 3 consecutive pings to the ‚Destination Address‛.



If all 3 pings fail the 3G38WV-TS sends 3 consecutive pings to the ‚Second Address‛.



The 3G38WV-TS then sends 3 consecutive pings to the ‚Destination Address‛ and 3 consecutive pings to the ‚Second Address‛ every ‚Periodic Ping Accelerated Timer‛ seconds.



If all accelerated pings in step D fail, the 3G38WV-TS reboots after waiting the amount of time entered in the ‚Fail Count‛ times.



If any of the pings succeed, the 3G38WV-TS returns to step A and does not reboot.

Please note: The ‚Periodic Ping Timer‛ should never be set to a value less than 60 seconds; this is to allow the

3G38WV-TS time to reconnect to the cellular network following a reboot.

To disable the Periodic Ping Reset Monitor simply set to ‚Fail Count‛ 0

The 3G38WV-TS can be configured to automatically reboot on a periodic interval specified in minutes. While this is not necessary, it does ensure that in the case of remote installations it will reboot the 3G38WV-TS if some anomaly occurs.

The default value is 0 which disables the Periodic Reset Timer.

The maximum value is 65535 minutes.

Additional Product Information

Using the 3G38WV-TS to make and receive telephone calls

The 3G38WV-TS 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 MBB mobile network.

Please 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 3G38WV-TS 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 3G38WV-TS allows you to make telephone calls over the MBB network using a standard analogue telephone via the built in RJ11 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 3G38WV-TS 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 checked the following:

1. You have an activated MBB SIM card inserted prior to powering on the 3G38WV-TS.

2. Your 3G38WV-TS is powered on and in running condition.

3. A working analogue telephone 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 3G38WV-TS should light up after lifting the handset.

How to place a call

To make a call, simply lift the handset and 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 3G38WV-TS 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.

If there is no phone connected to the 3G38WV-TS, all incoming calls will be transferred to Voicemail (if enabled on the device).

Answering an incoming call when on a call

Call waiting enables a 2nd incoming call to be received while you are on a call. To answer a call waiting call, perform a hook-flash (briefly depressing the hook button). The incoming call should then be answered. Upon hanging up or performing another hookflash, you will be returned to the original telephone call.

Accessing voicemail

To access your voicemail, please dial *98 and follow the voice prompts.

FAQ

1. Does the NetComm Smart Hub 4G require any configuration out of the box?

No, the NetComm Smart Hub 4G is plug and play device. Plug the device into an electrical outlet and once the status indicator lights are on, plug in your analog 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.

3. The router was connected but 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 outage on the network) that the router will reboot after so many failed pings and then force a re-connect. Set the timer to around 15 mins should be sufficient.

Please 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. 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 it to 0 if you don’t want this feature or something quite large if you don’t want the router to reboot so

often.

5. Router has connection but cannot access the internet

Check that DNS Proxy is enabled by clicking on the LAN link on the configuration interface. Make sure that the DHCP DNS server address 1 IP address is set to the same address as that of the Ethernet port.

6. I cannot seem to get a MBB WAN connection

Click on the MBB Internet Settings link on the webpage interface and check that the correct APN settings are entered.



Also check that the username and password credentials are correct if the APN in use requires these.



Make sure that Auto Connect is enabled on the PPP Profile Connect section on the Data Connection page.



Check you have suitable MBB 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 Smart Hub 4G?

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 Smart Hub 4G?

Yes. By simply connecting a regular landline (Analog) 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 will hear a dial tone and can place your call.

10. How do I see I have a voicemail message?

Voicemail is a feature of the TELUS network and your TELUS service, not a feature embedded in the device. If you have a voicemail messages 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.
