2. DC power input via 6-pin connector (8-40V DC)

3. DC power input via field terminated power source (8-40V DC)

The green power LED on the router lights up when a power source is connected.

Power over Ethernet (802.3af PoE) (available on the NWL-12-01 only)

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a method of connecting network devices through Ethernet cable where power and data are passed along a single cable. This may be a desirable method of

powering the device if PoE is available, or if it’s most convenient in the desired installation environment to only have a single cable running to the 3G Light Industrial M2M router.

There are 5 power classes defined in the IEEE 802.3-2005 standard, of which the 3G Light Industrial M2M router is a class 3 device.

CLASS CLASSIFICATION CURRENT POWER RANGE CLASS DESCRIPTION

3 26-30 mA 6.49 – 12.95 W Mid power

Table 7 - PoE power classes

To use PoE to power the 3G Light Industrial M2M router, simply connect your router to a PoE injector or PoE network switch using the bundled yellow Ethernet cable 8P8C.

DC power via 6-pin connector

The DC input jack can accept power from a separately sold DC power supply. Both a standard temperature range DC power supply and an extended temperature range DC power supply are

available to purchase as accessories.

To power the device via DC Power via the 6-pin connector, remove the attached green terminal block from your router and connect the external DC power supply to the router’s green DC power

jack.

DC power via field terminated power source

If an existing 8-40V DC power supply is available, you can insert the wires into the supplied terminal block to power your router. Use a No. 3 flathead screwdriver to tighten the terminal block

screws and secure the power wires, making sure the polarity of the wires are correctly matched, as illustrated below.

2. Click the Profile toggle key to turn the profile on. Additional settings appear.

Figure 20 - Data connection settings - Profile turned on

3. In the Profile name field, enter a name for the profile. This name is only used to identify the profile on the router.

4. Ensure that the Automatic APN selection toggle key is set to off. If it is not, click it to toggle it to the off position.

5. In the APN field, enter the APN Name (Access Point Name) and if required, use the Username and Password fields to enter your login credentials.

6. Next to Authentication type, select the either CHAP or PAP depending on the type of authentication used by your provider.

7. The Reconnect delay field specifies the number of seconds to wait between connection attempts. The default setting of 30 seconds is sufficient in most cases but you may modify it

to wait up to 65535 seconds if you wish.

8. The Reconnect retries field specifies the number of times to attempt to connect to the network if the router fails to establish a connection. It is set to 0 by default which causes the

router to attempt to reconnect indefinitely.

9. The Metric value is used by router to prioritise routes (if multiple are available) and is set to 20 by default. This value is sufficient in most cases but you may modify it if you are

aware of the effect your changes will have on the service.

10. The MTU field allows you to modify the Maximum Transmission Unit used on the connection. Do not change this unless instructed to by your carrier.

11. Use the NAT Masquerading toggle key to turn NAT Masquerading on or off. NAT masquerading, also known simply as NAT is a common routing feature which allows multiple LAN

devices to appear as a single WAN IP via network address translation. In this mode, the router modifies network traffic sent and received to inform remote computers on the internet

that packets originating from a machine behind the router actually originated from the WAN IP address of the router’s internal NAT IP address. This may be disabled if a framed

route configuration is required and local devices require WAN IP addresses.

12. For advanced networking such as using dual simultaneous PDP contexts, you may wish to configure a particular profile to route only certain traffic via that profile by configuring a

custom address and mask of traffic to send via that profile. To do this, in the Profile routing settings section, enter the Network address and Network mask of the remote network. If

you do not want to use this feature, or are unsure, please leave these fields blank, which will not designate any particular traffic to be routed via this profile. For more information on

configuring Profile routing settings, see the Setting a default gateway with two active connection profiles example.

Setting timers for connection and disconnection

The router has a number of timer settings which let you determine when a connection is dialled and when it is disconnected.

Figure 27 – Dial on demand - Connect and disconnect timers

OPTION DESCRIPTION

On data activity, stay online for at least

When traffic as per the configured settings above appear, the router will either continue to stay online, or dial a connection and will not disconnect it

for the specified time period (min. 1 minute, max. 1 hour). This timer is continuously reset throughout the duration of a dial-up session, whenever

data activity is detected matching the rules above.

After connecting, stay online for at least

This timer configures the router to not hang-up the connection for the specified time period after initially dialling the connection. This setting cannot

be less than the keep online period above. This timer affects the connection only once per dial up session, at the beginning of the session.

After hanging up, don’t redial for After a connection has been disconnected, you can tell the router to rest for a period of time before re-dialling.

Disconnect regardless of traffic after Forces the router to disconnect the connection regardless of the traffic passing through it. The default setting is never.

Connect regularly, every / Randomise connect frequency by

up to

If you want to have the router dial a connection at regular intervals, use Connect regularly, every to specify the interval between dials. Setting this to

never effectively disables this option.

The router also features the ability to randomise the time at which the first dial action is performed. This is useful in situations such as where you

have numerous routers in an area where a power outage has occurred. Setting a random dial time helps to reduce network congestion when all the

routers are powered on so they do not all try to connect simultaneously.

When it is set to at least 2 minutes, you are able to configure the router to randomise the time it begins to dial. The randomised dial timer only affects

the initial dial after the unit powers on or after the settings are saved. For example, if you configure the router to dial every 2 minutes with a

randomised dial time of 1 minute, the router will dial the initial connection at a time greater than 2 minutes, but less than 3 minutes. After the first dial,

the router will dial the connection exactly every 2 minutes.

Table 13 - Connect on demand - Connect and disconnect timers descriptions

Verbose mode

The router provides the option of logging all the data activity which matches the settings for the Dial on demand feature for advanced troubleshooting purposes. To enable the logging of the Dial

on demand feature, click the Enable verbose mode toggle key to switch it ON. See the System log section for more information.

DHCP

The DHCP page is used to adjust the settings used by the router’s built in DHPC Server which assigns IP addresses to locally connected devices.

DHCP relay configuration

In advanced networks configurations where the 3G Light Industrial M2M Router should not be responsible for DHCP assignment, but instead an existing DHCP server is located on the Wireless

WAN connection, the clients behind the 3G Light Industrial M2M Router are able to communicate with the DHCP server when DHCP relay is enabled. This enables the 3G Light Industrial M2M

Router to accept client broadcast messages and to forward them onto another subnet.

To configure the router to act as a DHCP relay agent click the DHCP relay toggle key to turn it ON and enter the DHCP server address into the DHCP server address field. DHCP relay is

disabled by default.

Figure 39 – DHCP relay configuration

DHCP configuration

You can manually set the start and end address range to be used to automatically assign addresses within, the lease time of the assigned address, the default domain name suffix, primary and

secondary DNS server, the primary and secondary WINS server, as well as the advanced DHCP settings such as NTP, TFTP and Option 150/Option 160 (VoIP options).

Router Firewall

The Router firewall page is used to enable or disable the in-built firewall on the router. When enabled, the firewall performs stateful packet inspection on inbound traffic from the wireless WAN

and blocks all unknown services, that is, all services not listed on the Services configuration page of the router.

With respect to the other Routing options on the Networking page, the firewall takes a low priority. The priority of the firewall can be described as:

DMZ > MAC/IP/Port filtering rules > MAC/IP/Port filtering default rule > Router firewall rules

In other words, the firewall is of the lowest priority when compared to other manual routing configurations. Therefore, a MAC/IP/Port filtering rule takes priority in the event that there is a conflict of

rules. When DMZ is enabled, MAC/IP/Port filtering rules and the router firewall are ignored but the router will still honour the configuration of the Remote router access control settings listed under

Administration Settings.

OPTION DESCRIPTION

Bound

Use the drop down list to select the direction of the traffic for which you want to apply to the rule. Inbound refers to all traffic that is entering the

router including data entering from the WAN and the LAN. Outbound refers to all traffic exiting the router including traffic leaving in the direction of

the WAN and traffic leaving in the direction of the LAN. Forward specifies traffic that enters on the LAN or WAN side and is forwarded to the

opposite end.

Protocol Use the drop down list to select the protocol for the rule. You can have the rule apply to All protocols, TCP, UDP, UDP/TCP or ICMP.

Source MAC Address Enter the MAC address in six groups of two hexadecimal digits separated by colons (:). e.g. 00:40:F4:CE:FA:1E

Source IP Address Enter the IPv4 address that the traffic originates from and the subnet mask using CIDR notation.

Destination IP Address Enter the IPv4 address that the traffic is destined for and the subnet mask using CIDR notation.

Action

Select the action to take for traffic which meets the above criteria. You can choose to Accept or Drop packets. When the default rule is set to Accept,

you cannot create a rule with an Accept action since the rule is redundant. Likewise, if the defau lt rule is set to Dropped you cannot create a rule with

a Drop action.

Comment [Optional] Use this field to enter a comment as a meaningful description of the rule.

Table 14 - Current MAC / IP / Port filtering rules in effect

Certificate Authentication

In the Certificate Management section, enter the required details to create a client certificate. All fields are required. When you have finished entering the details, click the Generate button.

Figure 60 - OpenVPN server configuration – Certificate management

When it is done, you can click the Download P12 button or the Download TGZ button to save the certificate file depending on which format you would like. If for some reason the integrity of your

network has been compromised, you can return to this screen and use the Certificate drop down list to select the certificate and then press the Revoke button to disable it.

Optional: To inform the OpenVPN server of the network address scheme of the currently selected certificate, enter the network address and network subnet mask in the respective fields and

click the Set network information button. If you do not enter the remote subnet here, any packet requests from the server to the client will not be received by the client network because it is not

aware of the remote client’s subnet.

address scheme of the slave.

7. Press the Generate button to create a secret key to be shared with the slave. When the timestamp appears, you can click the Download button to save the file to exchange with the

other router.

8. When you have saved the secret key file on each router, use the Browse button to locate the secret key file for the master and then press the Upload button to send it to the slave.

Perform the same for the other router, uploading the slave’s secret key file to master.

9. When they are uploaded click the Save button to complete the peer-to-peer OpenVPN configuration.

3. Click the Enable PPTP client toggle key to switch it to the ON position.

4. In the Profile name list, enter a profile name for the tunnel. This may be anything you like and is used to identify the tunnel on the router.

5. Use the Username and Password fields to enter the username and password for the PPTP account.

6. In the PPTP server address field, enter the IP address of the PPTP server.

7. From the Authentication type drop down list, select the Authentication type used on the server. If you do not know the authentication method used, select any and the router will

attempt to determine the correct authentication type for you. There are 5 authentication types you can choose from:

CHAP – uses a three way handshake to authenticate the identity of a client.

MS-CHAP v1 – This is the Microsoft implementation of the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol for which support was dropped in Windows® Vista.

MS-CHAP v2 - This is the Microsoft implementation of the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol which was introduced in Windows® NT 4.0 and is still supported

today.

PAP – The Password Authentication Protocol uses a password as a means of authentication and as such, is commonly supported. PAP is not recommended because it

transmits passwords unencrypted and is not secure.

EAP – Extensible Authentication Protocol. An Authentication protocol commonly used in wireless networks.

8. The metric value helps the router to prioritise routes and must be a number between 0 and 65535. The default value is 30 and should not be modified unless you are aware of the

effect your changes will have.

9. The Use peer DNS option allows you to select whether the remote clients will use the Domain Name Server of the PPTP server. Click the toggle key to set this to ON or OFF as

required.

10. NAT masquerading allows the router to modify the packets sent and received to inform remote computers on the internet that packets originating from a machine behind the router

actually originated from the WAN IP address of the router’s internal NAT IP address. Click the toggle key to switch this to the ON position if you want to use this feature.

11. Set default route to PPTP sets all outbound data packets to go out through the PPTP tunnel. Click the toggle key to switch this to the ON position if you want to use this feature.

12. The Verbose logging option sets the router to output detailed logs regarding the PPTP connection in the System Log section of the router interface.

13. The Reconnect delay is the time in seconds that the router will wait before attempting to connect to the PPTP server in the event that the connection is broken. The minimum time to

wait is 30 seconds so as to not flood the PPTP server with connection requests, while the maximum time to wait is 65335 seconds.

14. The Reconnect retries is the number of connection attempts that the router will make in the event that the PPTP connection goes down. If set to 0, the router will retry the connection

indefinitely, otherwise the maximum number of times to retry cannot be greater than 65335.

15. Click the Save button to save the changes. The VPN will attempt to connect after your click Save. Click the Status button at the top left of the interface to return to the status window

and monitor the VPN’s connection state.

5. In the GRE server address field, enter the IP address of the GRE server.

6. In the Local tunnel address field, enter the IP address you want to assign the tunnel locally.

7. In the Remote tunnel address field, enter the IP address you want to assign to the remote tunnel.

8. In the Remote network address field, enter the IP address scheme of the remote network.

9. In the Remote network subnetmask field, enter the subnet mask of the remote network.

10. The TTL (Time To Live) field is an 8-bit field used to remove an undeliverable data packet from a network to avoid unnecessary network traffic across the internet. The default value

of 255 is the upper limit on the time that an IP datagram can exist. The value is reduced by at least one for each hop the data packet takes to the next router on the route to the

datagram’s destination. If the TTL field reaches zero before the datagram arrives at its destination the data packet is discarded and an error message is sent back to the sender.

11. The Verbose logging option sets the router to output detailed logs regarding the GRE tunnel in the System Log section of the router interface.

12. The Reconnect delay is the time in seconds that the router will wait before attempting to connect to the GRE server in the event that the connection is broken. The minimum time to

wait is 30 seconds so as to not flood the GRE server with connection requests, while the maximum time to wait is 65335 seconds.

13. The Reconnect retries is the number of connection attempts that the router will make in the event that the GRE connection goes down. If set to 0, the router will retry the connection

indefinitely, otherwise the maximum number of times to retry cannot be greater than 65335.

savings.

2. When you have selected the correct time zone, click the Save button to save the settings.

Configuring NTP settings

To configure NTP settings:

1. Click the Network time (NTP) toggle key to switch it to the ON position.

2. In the NTP service field, enter the address of the NTP server you wish to use.

3. The Synchronization on WWAN connection toggle key enables or disables the router from performing a synchronization of the time each time a mobile broadband connection is

established.

4. The Daily synchronisation toggle key enables or disables the router from performing a synchronization of the time each day.

5. When you have finished configuring NTP settings, click the Save button to save the settings.

SNMP

SNMP configuration

The SNMP page is used to configure the SNMP features of the router.

Figure 77 - SNMP configuration

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to remotely monitor the router for conditions that may warrant administrative attention. It can be used to retrieve information from the router

such as the signal strength, the system time and the interface status.

To configure SNMP:

1. Click the SNMP toggle key to switch it to the ON position.

2. Enter Read-only community name and Read-write community name which are used for client authentication.

Community names are used as a type of security to prevent access to reading and/or writing to the routers configuration. It is recommended that you change the Community names

to something other than the default settings when using this feature.

3. Click the Save button to save any changes to the settings.

The Download button displays the Management information base (MIB) of the router. The MIB displays all the objects of the router that can have their values set or report their status. The MIB is

formatted in the SNMP-related standard RFC1155.

The Google map button provides a quick short cut to show your router’s current position on a map and because GPS positioning relies on accurate clock settings to obtain the correct

information about your location, the Clock Sync button allows you to quickly set the router clock to the correct time. This ensures you will always have the correct GPS position information

available.

Mobile Station Based Assisted GPS configuration

If you are not using a dedicated GPS antenna, you may use the nearby mobile base stations to triangulate your position. To do this, set the A-GPS toggle key to the ON position and use the drop

down lists to configure the automatic retry options.

Figure 80 - Mobile Stations Based Assisted GPS configuration options

ITEM DESCRIPTION

A-GPS Enable Enables or disables the mobile station based assisted GPS function.

Maximum Retry Count Sets the maximum number of times the router should attempt to triangulate its position.

Retry delay (min ute) Sets the number of minutes the router should wait between attempts to triangulate its position.

Automatic Update Period (day) Sets the number of days that the router should automa tically update the A-GPS data. The maximum update period is 7 days.

New message

The New message page can be used to send SMS text messages to a single or multiple recipients.

A new SMS message can be sent to a maximum of 100 recipients at the same time. After sending the message, the result is displayed next to the destination number as “Success” or “Failure” if

the message failed to send. By default, only one destination number field is displayed. Additional destination numbers may be added one at a time after entering a valid number for the current

destination number field. To add a destination number, click the button and to remove the last destination in the list, click the button.

Figure 82 - SMS - New Message

Destination numbers should begin with the “+” symbol followed by the country calling code. To send a message to a destination number, enter the “+” symbol followed by the country calling

code and then the destination number.

For example:

To send a message to the mobile destination number 0412345678 in Australia (country calling code 61), enter “+61412345678”.

After entering the required recipient numbers, type your SMS message in the New message field. As you type your message, a counter shows how many characters you have entered out of the

total number available for your chosen encoding scheme. When you have finished typing your message and you are ready to send it, click the Send button.

White List for diagnostic or execution SMS

The white list is a list of mobile numbers that you can create which are considered “friendly” to the router. If Only accept authenticated SMS messages is enabled in the diagnostics section, the

router will compare the mobile number of all incoming diagnostic and command messages against this white list to determine whether the diagnostic or command should be executed. You may

optionally configure a password for each number to give an additional level of security. When a password is specified for a number, the SMS diagnostic or command message is parsed for the

password and will only be executed if the number and password match.

Figure 86 - White list for diagnostic or execution SMS

A maximum of 20 numbers can be stored on the router in the white list. To add a number to the white list, click the “+Add” button.

Figure 87 – Adding a number to the SMS white list

The White List numbers and passwords can be cleared by pressing the button to the right of each entry. To add a number to the white list, enter it in the Destination number field and

optionally define a password in the Password field. When you have finished adding numbers click the Save button to save the entries.

PASSWORD get VARIABLE1; get VARIABLE2

set VARIABLE=VALUE1 ; set VARIABLE2=VALUE2

PASSWORD set VARIABLE1=VALUE1; set VARIABLE2=VALUE2; set VARIABLE3=VALUE3

If required, values can also be bound by an apostrophe, double apostrophe or back tick.

For Example:

“set VARIABLE=’VALUE’”

“set VARIABLE=”VALUE””

“set VARIABLE=`VALUE`”

“get VARIABLE”

System

Log

The Log pages are used to display or download the System log and IPSec logs on the router.

System log

The System Log enables you to troubleshoot any issues you may be experiencing with your 3G Light Industrial M2M router. To access the System Log page, click on the System menu. The

System Log is displayed.

Figure 88 - System log file

Log file

Use the Display level drop-down list to select a message level to be displayed. The message levels are described in the table below.

To download the System log for offline viewing, right-click the Download button and choose Save as.. to save the file. To clear the System log, click the Clear button. The downloaded log file is in

Linux text format with carriage return (CR) only at the end of a line, therefore in order to be displayed correctly with new lines shown, it is recommended to use a text file viewer which displays

this format correctly (e.g. Notepad++).

Log data is stored in RAM and therefore, when the unit loses power or is rebooted, it will lose any log information stored in RAM. To ensure that log information is accessible between reboots of

the router there are two options:

1. Enable the Log to file option

2. Use a rem

NetComm Wireless 3G Light Industrial M2M Router

www.netcommwireless.com

Enable the log to file option

When the router is configured to log to a file, the log data is stored in flash memory, making it accessible after a reboot of the router. Up to 512kb of log data will be stored before it is overwritten

by new log data. Flash memory has a finite number of program-erase operations that it may perform to the blocks of memory. While this number of program-erase operations is quite large, we

recommend that you do not enable this option for anything other than debugging to avoid excessive wear on the memory.

Use a remote syslog server

The router can be configured to output log data to a remote syslog server. This is an application running on a remote computer which accepts and displays the log data. Most syslog servers can

also save the log data to a file on the computer on which it is running allowing you to ensure that no log data is lost between reboots.

To configure the 3G Light Industrial M2M Router to output log data to a remote syslog server:

1. Click on the System menu from the top menu bar. The System log item is displayed.

2. Under the Remote syslog server section, enter the IP address or hostname of the syslog server in the IP / Hostname [:PORT] field. You can also specify the port number after the

IP or hostname by entering a semi-colon and then the port number e.g. 192.168.1.102:514. If you do not specify a port number, the router will use the default UDP port 514.

3. Click the Save button to save the configuration.
