electrical code.

Do not use this product in locations where prohibited, or where
its use may hinder the operability and performance of sensitive
equipment (such as at medical and aviation facilities, and near heart
pacemakers and fire alarm systems), or where its use may result in
any other type of interference or risk.

Do not use where the risk of explosion exists from cellular device
usage, such as near flammable gasses or materials (for example, at
gas stations).

Do not install or use in extreme temperatures.

Do not get the router wet, nor handle it if wet.

Install the product out of reach of those for whom its use is
unintended, such as children.

Initial Setup and Configuration Steps

Step 1: Installing the SIM Card

A SIM card is required to establish GPRS communication.

1. Open the router cover and then insert the SIM card into its holder.

NOTE: If using IP cameras, a SIM package with a public IP is

required, with at least 3 GB per month recommended.
Otherwise, for Cloud-based 3G GPRS communication (without
using IP cameras), a public IP is not needed. Most mobile
providers offer a public IP only together with a fixed IP.

2. Remove tape from the battery terminals, install the battery in the
router, and then close up the router cover.

3. If utilizing the router only for GPRS (without WiFi or IP cameras),
go to Installing the Router-Mounting Board Assembly, page 7.

Step 2: Connecting the Router to a Laptop

Prior to installation, first connect the router to a laptop or PC, where
you view the configuration screens and define relevant settings.

1. Using the Ethernet cable, connect the network port on the router
to the network port on the laptop.

2. Connect the power cord to the micro-USB port on the router, and
then plug the other end (power adapter) into an electrical socket.

3. Press the router’s Power button for about 5 seconds. Ignore the
Power Status LED color (indicates battery level), but wait a few
seconds for the router to initialize and the other LEDs (Signal,
Network, and WiFi) to stabilize. See LED Indicators, page 15.

Step 3: Defining Router Settings

Define router settings from the screens that display. First configure
the Internet connection. If the system has IP cameras (in either a
wireless or wired configuration), you’ll need to verify the UPnP
settings. For IP cameras in a wireless configuration, you’ll also need
to configure the WiFi connection and encryption.

NOTE: Standard settings are provided here. Some settings and
defaults may differ, according to the ISP.

Defining the Internet Connection

1. In a Web browser type: http://192.168.8.1.

2. At the login, type Admin for both user name and password.

3. Click the Mode menu, select 3G Wireless Router Mode, and then
click Apply.

4. Click the 3G menu. From Setup (default screen), in the 3G ISP
field clear the Auto select 3G ISP checkbox and then select the
provider from the dropdown list.

5. In the APN field, enter the provider-supplied APN.

NOTE: If the system has IP cameras, enter the provider-supplied

APN per public IP.

NOTE: Depending on the provider, you may or may not need to

enter a PIN or user name and password. For some providers,
these fields may populate automatically.

6. Click Apply.

7. From the 3G menu, click Break-Detection, and then from the
Break Detection dropdown list, select Enable.

8. At the Object dropdown list, select Sent ICMP to the Gateway,
and then select the Gateway checkbox.

9. Click Apply.
