Important Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data
may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare
when wireless devices such as the gateway is used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the
gateway should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind
to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Robustel
accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received
using the gateway, or for failure of the gateway to transmit or receive such data.
Safety Precautions
General
The gateway generates radio frequency (RF) power. When using the gateway, care must be taken on safety
issues related to RF interference as well as regulations of RF equipment.
Do not use your gateway in aircraft, hospitals, petrol stations or in places where using cellular products is
prohibited.
Be sure that the gateway will not be interfering with nearby equipment. For example: pacemakers or medical
equipment. The antenna of the gateway should be away from computers, office equipment, home appliance,
etc.
An external antenna must be connected to the gateway for proper operation. Only uses approved antenna with
the gateway. Please contact authorized distributor on finding an approved antenna.
Always keep the antenna with minimum safety distance of 20 cm or more from human body. Do not put the
antenna inside metallic box, containers, etc.
RF exposure statements
1. For mobile devices without co-location (the transmitting antenna is installed or located more than 20cm
away from the body of user and nearby person)
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
1. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
2. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the
radiator and human body.
Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open.
Gateway may be used at this time.
Using the Gateway in Vehicle
Check for any regulation or law authorizing the use of cellular devices in vehicle in your country before installing
the gateway.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the gateway while driving.
Install the gateway by qualified personnel. Consult your vehicle distributor for any possible interference of
electronic parts by the gateway.
The gateway should be connected to the vehicle’s supply system by using a fuse-protected terminal in the
vehicle’s fuse box.
Be careful when the gateway is powered by the vehicle’s main battery. The battery may be drained after
extended period.

Insert or remove the SIM card as shown in the following steps.
Insert SIM card
1. Make sure gateway is powered off.
2. To remove slot cover, loosen the screws associated with the cover by using a screwdriver and then find the SIM
card slot.
3. To insert SIM card, press the card with finger until you hear a click
4. To put back the cover and tighten the screws associated with the cover by using a screwdriver.
Remove SIM card
1. Make sure gateway is powered off.
2. To remove slot cover, loosen the screws associated with the cover by using a screwdriver and then find the SIM
card slot.
3. To remove SIM card, press the card with finger until it pops out and then take out the card.
4. To put back the cover and tighten the screws associated with the cover by using a screwdriver.
Note:
1. Recommended torque for inserting is 0.5 N.m, and the maximum allowed is 0.7 N.m.
2. Use the specific card when the device is working in extreme temperature (temperature exceeding 40 °C ),
because the regular card for long-time working in harsh environment will be disconnected frequently.
3. Do not forget to twist the cover tightly to avoid being stolen.
4. Do not touch the metal of the card surface in case information in the card will lose or be destroyed.
5. Do not bend or scratch the card.
6. Keep the card away from electricity and magnetism.
7. Make sure gateway is powered off before inserting or removing the card.

2.8 Mount the Gateway
The gateway can be placed on a desktop or mounted to a wall or a DIN rail.
Two methods for mounting the gateway
Wall mounting (measured in mm)
Use 4 pcs of M3*6 flat head Phillips screws to fix the wall mounting kit to the gateway, and then use 2 pcs of M3
drywall screws to mount the gateway associated with the wall mounting kit on the wall.
Note: Recommended torque for mounting is 1.0 N.m, and the maximum allowed is 1.2 N.m.

DIN rail mounting (measured in mm)
Use 4 pcs of M3*6 flat head Phillips screws to fix the DIN rail to the gateway, and then hang the DIN rail on the
mounting bracket. It is necessary to choose a standard bracket.
Note: Recommended torque for mounting is 1.0 N.m, and the maximum allowed is 1.2 N.m.

2.9 Ground the Gateway
Gateway grounding helps prevent the noise effect due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Connect the gateway to
the site ground wire by the ground screw before powering on.
Note: This product is appropriate to be mounted on a sound grounded device surface, such as a metal panel.

2.10 Connect the Gateway to a Computer
Connect an Ethernet cable to any port marked ETH0~ETH8 at the front of the gateway, and connect the other end of
the cable to your computer.
2.11 Power Supply
MEG5000 supports reverse polarity protection, but always refers to the figure above to connect the power adapter
correctly. There are two cables associated with the power adapter. Following to the color of the head, connect the
cable marked red to the positive pole through a terminal block, and connect the yellow one to the negative in the
same way.
Note: The range of power voltage is 12 to 60V DC.

Chapter 3 Initial Configuration
The gateway can be configured through your web browser that including IE 8.0 or above, Chrome and Firefox, etc. A
web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows
98/NT/2000/XP/Me/Vista/7/8, etc. It provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration. There are various
ways to connect the gateway, either through an external repeater/hub or connect directly to your PC. However, make
sure that your PC has an Ethernet interface properly installed prior to connecting the gateway. You must configure
your PC to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the
gateway. If you encounter any problems accessing the gateway web interface, it is advisable to uninstall your firewall
program on your PC, as this tends to cause problems accessing the IP address of the gateway.
Note: If your device is not with Expansion Card 1, please connect the network cable to the port of the control card. If
it is with Expansion Card 1, the control card port should be not used for web configuration because it is as the WAN
port. So connect the cable to any LAN port of Expansion Card 1 to configure.
3.1 Configure the PC
There are two methods to get IP address for the PC. One is to obtain an IP address automatically from “Local Area
Connection”, and another is to configure a static IP address manually within the same subnet of the gateway. Please
refer to the steps below.
Here take Windows 7 as example, and the configuration for windows system is similar.
1. Click Start > Control panel, double-click Network and Sharing Center, and then double-click Local Area
Connection.

address of the gateway is 192.168.0.1, though the actual address may vary.
Note: If a SIM card with a public IP address is inserted in the gateway, enter this corresponding public IP address
in the browser’s address bar to access the gateway wirelessly.
3. In the login page, enter the username and password, choose language and then click LOGIN. The default
username and password are “admin”.

assigned as lan0. By default, ETH1~ETH8 are lan0, and their IP are 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0.
Note: If MEG5000 is not with Expansion Card 1, ETHO can be assigned as either WAN port or LAN port; when

the DPD interval, it sends a DPD hello to the peer. If the local end receives
no DPD acknowledgment within the DPD packet retransmission interval, it
retransmits the DPD hello. If the local end still receives no DPD
acknowledgment after having made the maximum number of
retransmission attempts, it considers the peer already dead, and clears the
IKE SA and the IPsec SAs based on the IKE SA.
