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 router is used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the router
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
router, or for failure of the router to transmit or receive such data.

Safety Precautions
General

 The router generates radio frequency (RF) power. When using the router, care must be taken on safety issues

related to RF interference as well as regulations of RF equipment.

 Do not use your router in aircraft, hospitals, petrol stations or in places where using cellular products is

prohibited.

 Be sure that the router will not be interfering with nearby equipment. For example: pacemakers or medical

equipment. The antenna of the router should be away from computers, office equipment, home appliance, etc.

 An external antenna must be connected to the router for proper operation. Only uses approved antenna with

the router. 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.
Router may be used at this time.

Using the Router in Vehicle

 Check for any regulation or law authorizing the use of cellular devices in vehicle in your country before installing

the router.

 The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the router while driving.
 Install the router by qualified personnel. Consult your vehicle distributor for any possible interference of

electronic parts by the router.

 The router 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 router is powered by the vehicle’s main battery. The battery may be drained after extended

period.

Two methods for mounting the router

1. Wall mounting (measured in mm)

Use 4 pcs of M2.5*4 flat head Phillips screws to fix the wall mounting kit to the router, and then use 2 pcs of M3
drywall screws to mount the router associated with the wall mounting kit on the wall.
Note: Recommended torque for mounting is 0.5 N.m, and the maximum allowed is 0.7 N.m.

2. DIN rail mounting (measured in mm)

Use 3 pcs of M3*6 flat head Phillips screws to fix the DIN rail to the router, 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.

Router grounding helps prevent the noise effect due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Connect the router 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.

2.9 Connect the Router to a Computer

Connect an Ethernet cable to the port marked ETH0 or ETH1 at the bottom of the router, and connect the other end
of the cable to your computer.

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 9 to 26V DC (A014401, A014402, A014403, A014404, A014405, A014406,
A014701, A014702, A014703, A014704, A014705, A014706) or 9 to 36V DC.

2.11 PD Connection (Optional)

If you would like to power the R2000 Router through the Ethernet port, please refer to the following topology to
connect the R2000 to a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment). The range of PoE power voltage is 48~57V DC.

Chapter 3 Initial Configuration

The router 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 router, 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 router. 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 router.
If you encounter any problems accessing the router 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 router.

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 router. 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.
