1.5 Adapter,Antenna and SIMCard
Adapter in box is 6V/2A. But customer could choose
different one according to the wide range of R500 router, the
input range is from DC5V to DC24V, 2A peak.
R500 router requires 2 units of 3G antenna, standard female
SMA connector, 50 ohm impedance; WiFi 2.3G antenna,
standard male SMA connector, 50 ohm impedance.
R500 uses Push-button simcard holder, supports 1.8V/3V
sim/usim card, ESD protection inside.

Chapter 2 Configuration
2.1 Setup
Insert the SIM card into the SIM card slot beneath the R500.
Press carefully until it ‘clicks’ into place.
Figure 1-1 Insert the SIM card
Plug the power adapter into the AC mains and plug the DC
cable firmly into the 5V DC input of the R500. Power light is
working. It will start to work automatically.
Before configuration, R500 should be connected to PC via
Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi network.
1) With Ethernet cable. One end of cable insert to one of
“Local Network” ports (named “LAN” port), another
end connects to PC Ethernet port.
2) With Wi-Fi network. SSID of R500 is “SIMCOM” default
without password.

There have 11 pages for setting, antenna,service,VPN,
security, access limit,NAT,QoS, application, management
and Status pages. You can get detail for each page.

2.3 Management and Configuration
2.3.1 Network setting
2.3.1.1 WAN connection type
WAN connection type includes: static IP, dynamic IP, PPPoE,
PPTP, L2TP, 3G types.
Option 1: Static IP
Normally fiber-optic network will use this option. Service
provider will provide IP address, subnet mask, gateway and
DNS info. These parameters should be configured same on
R500
IP Address：user owner ip adress
Subnet Mask：user owner subnet mask
Default Gateway：user owner gateway
Option 2: Dynamic IP
8
R500
Connect Ethernet cable to WAN port, configure as following.
Router uses this dynamic IP as WAN connection type.
Option 3: PPPoE
Usually ADSL service from China telecom and China
Netcom will use this option. PPPoE connection requires
username, password, provider name from ISP for router
configuration.
User Name： the user name for log in internet
Password： the user password for log in internet
9
R500
Option 4: PPTP
PPTP, Point to Point Tunneling Protocol, is a new enhanced
encryption protocol developed based on PPP protocol. PPTP
supports VPN, PAP and EAP, etc.
Remote user is allowed to access safely local network via
ISP, internet or other network.
Option 5: L2TP
In computer networking, Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is
a tunneling protocol used to support virtual private networks
(VPNs) or as part of the delivery of services by ISPs. It does not
provide any encryption or confidentiality by itself. Rather, it
relies on an encryption protocol that it passes within the
tunnel to provide privacy.
10
R500
Option 6: 3G/3G/LTE
Using SIM7100/SIM5360 module inside, Router could do PPP
protocol with APN and dial number (like *99**#).
11
R500
2.3.1.2 Local Network
IP address, subnet, etc could be configured as following.
12
R500
Local IP: the IP address in local
Subnet mask: local subnet mask
Gateway: router internal gateway.
2.3.1.3 DHCP clients list
All clients connected are list here, including Wi-Fi network
and LAN cable. Router could be a DHCP server which could
assign different IP address for each station. If DHCP server
option enabled, then all station could be configured with IP
and DNS auto mode, ensure there has no other DHCP server
in the network.
13
R500
2.3.1.4 VPN
A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network
across a public network, such as the Internet. It enables a
computer or Wi-Fi-enabled device to send and receive data
across shared or public networks as if it were directly
connected to the private network, while benefiting from the
functionality, security and management policies of the
private network. A VPN is created by establishing a virtual
point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated
connections, virtual tunneling protocols, or traffic encryptions.
A VPN connection across the Internet is similar to a wide
area network (WAN) link between websites. From a user
perspective, the extended network resources are accessed
in the same way as resources available within the private
network.
14
R500
VPN supports IPsec, PPTP and L2TP passthrough.
2.3.1.5 Advanced configuration
Only static mode is available. In order to set static router
between router device and other network, please configure
host as following.
15
R500
2.3.1.6 DTU Connection Configuration
The DTU functionality allows R500 to connect to a TCP
server. The data can be received and transmitted via the
serial console port.
To launch the DTU service, the parameters of the serial
console and the TCP server must be set. The parameters to
be set include the baud rate, the parity, the data bits and the
stop bits of the serial console, the IP address and the port
number of the TCP server.

2.3.3.2 Port Trigger
21
R500
When a application specify a certain port (trigger port) to
setup connection, router will transfer external connection to
internal specified port (transfer port), the range is from 5000 to
6000.
2.3.3.3 DMZ
A DMZ or demilitarized zone (sometimes referred to as
a perimeter network) is a physical or logical subnetwork that
contains and exposes an organization's external-facing
services to a larger and untrusted network, usually the
Internet. The purpose of a DMZ is to add an additional layer of
security to an organization's local area network (LAN); an
external attacker only has direct access to equipment in the
DMZ, rather than any other part of the network. The name is
derived from the term "demilitarized zone", an area between
nation states in which military operation is not permitted.
