3 Setting up your router

3.1 Installation

After you unpack the box, follow the steps, documented below, in order to properly connect the device. For
better Wi-Fi performance, put the device in clearly visible spot, as obstacles such as walls and door hinder the signal.
1. First assemble your router by attaching the necessary antennas and inserting the SIM card.
2. To power up your router, please use the power adapter included in the box. (IMPORTANT: Using a different
power adapter can damage and void the warranty for this product.).
3. If you have a wired broadband connection you will also have to connect it to the WAN port of the router.

1. Press the start button
2. Type in “network connections”, wait for the results to pop
up.
SIM 1 (primary)
SIM 2 (secondary)

3.1.3 Hardware installation

1. Remove back panel and insert SIM card which was given by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Correct SIM card
orientation is shown in the picture.
2. Attach LTE main and Wi-Fi antennas.
3. Connect the power adapter to the socket on the front panel of the device. Then plug the other end of the power
adapter into a wall outlet or power strip.
4. Connect to the device wirelessly (SSID: Teltonika_Router) or use Ethernet cable and plug it into any LAN
Ethernet port.

3.2 Logging in

After you’re complete with the setting up as described in the section above, you are ready to start logging into your router and start configuring it. This example shows how to connect on Windows 7. On windows Vista: click Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Centre -> Manage network Connections -> (Go to step 4). On Windows XP: Click Start -> Settings -> Network Connections -> (see step 4). You wont see “Internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4)”, instead you’ll have to select “TCP/IP Settings” and click options -> (Go to step 6)
We first must set up our network card so that it could properly communicate with the router.
13
3. Click “View network connections”
4. Then right click on your wireless device that you use to connect to other access points (It is the one with the name
“Wireless Network Connection” and has signal bars on its
icon).
5. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click Properties
6. By default the router is going to have DHCP enabled, which
means that if you select “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”, the router
should lease you an IP and you should be ready to login.
7. If you choose to configure manually here’s what you have to do:
First select an IP address. Due to the stock settings that your router has arrived in you can only enter an IP in the
form of 192.168.1.XXX , where XXX is a number in the range of 2-254 (192.168.1.2 , 192.168.1.254 , 192.168.1.155 and
so on… are valid; 192.168.1.0 , 192.168.1.1 , 192.168.1.255 , 192.168.1.699 and so on… are not). Next we enter the subnet mask: this has to be “255.255.255.0”. Then we enter the default gateway: this has to be “192.168.1.1”. Finally
we enter primary and secondary DNS server IPs. One will suffice, though it is good to have a secondary one as well as it
14
will act as a backup if the first should fail. The DNS can be your routers IP (192.168.1.1), but it can also be some external DNS server (like the one Google provides: 8.8.8.8).
Right click on the Wireless network icon and select Connect / Disconnect. A list should pop up with all available wireless networks. Select “Teltonika” and click connect. Then we launch our favorite browser and enter the routers IP into the address field:
Press enter. If there are no problems you should be greeted with a login screen such as this:
Enter the default password, which is “admin01” into the “Password” field and then either click Login with your
mouse or press the Enter key. You have now successfully logged into the RUT950!
From here on out you can configure almost any aspect of your router.

4 Operation Modes

The RUT9xx series router supports various operation modes. It can be connected to the internet (WAN) via mobile, standard Ethernet cable or via a wireless network. When connecting to the internet, you may also backup your main WAN connection with one or two backup connections. Any interface can act like backup if configured so. At first router uses its main WAN connection, if it is lost then router tries to connect via backup with higher priority and if that fails too, router tries the second backup option.
In later sections it will be explained, in detail, how to configure your router to work in a desired mode.

5 Powering Options

The RUT9xx router can be powered from power socket or over Ethernet port. Depending on your network architecture you can use LAN 1 port to power the device.
RUT9xx can be powered from power socket and over Ethernet simultaneously. Power socket has higher priority meaning that the device will draw power from power socket as long as it is available.
When RUT9xx is switching from one power source to the other it loses power for a fraction of the second and may reboot. The device will function correctly after the reboot.
Though the device can be powered over Ethernet port it is not compliant with IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard. Powering RUT9xx from IEEE 802.3af-2003 power supply will damage the device as it is not rated for input voltages of PoE standard.
16

5.1 Powering the device from higher voltage

If you decide not to use our standard 9 VDC wall adapters and want to power the device from higher voltage (15 – 30 VDC) please make sure that you choose power supply of high quality. Some power supplies can produce voltage peaks significantly higher than the declared output voltage, especially during connecting and disconnecting them.
While the device is designed to accept input voltage of up to 30 VDC peaks from high voltage power supplies can harm the device. If you want to use high voltage power supplies it is recommended to also use additional safety equipment to suppress voltage peaks from power supply.

Explanation
1.
IPv4 address
192.168.99.162
Your routers address on the WAN network
2.
IPv4 netmask

Address where the router will send all the outgoing traffic
4.
IPv4 broadcast
192.168.99.255
Broadcast address (auto generated if not set). It is best to leave this blank unless you know what you are doing.
5.
Use custom DNS servers
8.8.8.8
8.8.6.6
Usually the gateway has some predefined DNS servers. As such the
router, when it needs to resolve a hostname (“www.google.com”, “www.cnn.com”, etc…) to an IP address, it will forward all the DNS
requests to the gateway. By entering custom DNS servers the router will take care of host name resolution. You can enter multiple DNS servers to provide redundancy in case the one of the server fails.

7.2.2 Common configuration

Common configuration allows you to configure your TCP/IP settings for the wan network.
You can switch between the Static, DHCP or PPPoE protocol by selecting the protocol that you want to use and then pressing Switch Protocol.
7.2.2.1 General Setup

7.2.2.1.3 PPPoE
This protocol is mainly used by DSL providers:
This is the configuration setup for when you select PPPoE protocol.
7.2.2.2 Advanced
These are the advanced settings for each of the protocols, if you are unsure of how to alter these attributes it is highly recommended to leave them to a trained professional:

On/Off
Toggle NAT on and off.
2
Override MAC address
86:48:71:B7:E9:E4
Override MAC address of the WAN interface. If your ISP gives you a static IP address it might also bind it to your computers MAC address (i.e. that IP will only work with your computer). In this field you can enter your computers MAC address and fool the gateway in thinking that it is communicating with your computer.
3.
Override MTU
1500

7.2.2.2.3 PPPoE
7.2.2.2.4 IP Aliases
IP aliases are a way of defining or reaching a subnet that works in the same space as the regular network.
56
As you can see, the configuration is very similar to the static protocol; only in the example a 99th subnet is defined. Now if some device has an IP in the 99 subnet (192.168.99.xxx) and the subnets gateway metric is “higher” and
the device is trying to reach the internet it will reroute it’s traffic not to the gateway that is defined in common
configurations but through the one that is specified in IP aliases.
You may also optionally define a broadcast address and a custom DNS server.
7.2.2.2.5 Backup WAN configuration
Backup WAN is function that allows you to back up your primary connection in case it goes down. There can be two backup connections selected at the same time, in that case, when primary connection fails, router tries to use backup with higher priority and if that is unavailable or fails too, then router tries the backup with lower priority.
The majority of the options consist of timing and other important parameters that help determine the health of your primary connection. Regular health checks are constantly performed in the form of ICMP packets (Pings) on your primary connection. When the connections state starts to change (READY->NOT READY and vice versa) a necessary amount of failed or passed health checks has to be reached before the state changes completely. This delay is instituted
so as to mitigate “spikes” in connection availability, but it also extends the time before the backup link can be brought
up or down.
57
Field Name
Sample value
Explanation
1.
Health monitor Interval
Disable/5/10/20/30/60/120 Seconds
The interval at which health checks are performed
2.
Health monitor ICMP host(s)
Disable/DNS Server(s) /WAN GW/Custom
Where to Ping for a health check. As there is no definitive way to determine when the connection
to internet is down for good, you’ll have to define
a host whose availability that of the internet as a whole.
3.
Health monitor ICMP timeout
1/3/4/5/10 Seconds
How long to wait for an ICMP request to come back. Set a higher value if your connection has high latency or high jitter (latency spikes).
4.
Attempts before failover
1/3/5/10/15/20
How many checks should fail for your WAN connection to be declared DOWN for good.
5.
Attempts before recovery
1/3/5/10/15/20
How many checks should pass for your WAN connection to be declared UP.
7.2.2.3 How do I set up a backup link?
First we must select a main link and choose one or two backup links in WAN section. Then push the “Edit” button
and configure your WAN and Backup Wan settings to your liking. Click Save and wait until the settings are applied. Now in the Status -> Network Information -> WAN page there should be a status indication for the backup WAN. If everything is working correctly you should see something like this:
The above picture shows the status for Backup WAN configured on a wired main link. You can now simulate a downed link by simply unplugging your Ethernet WAN cable. When you’ve done so you should see this:
And, if you plug the cable back in you should, again, see this:

2.
Start
100
The starting address of the range that the DHCP server can use to give out to devices. E.g.: if your LAN IP is 192.168.2.1 and your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 that means that in your network a valid IP address has to be in the range of [192.168.2.1 – 192.168.2.254](192.168.2.0 and 192.168.2.255 are special unavailable addresses). If the Start value is set to 100 then the DHCP server will only be able to lease out addresses starting from 192.168.2.100
3.
Limit
150
How many addresses the DHCP server gets to lease out. Continuing on the above example: if the start address is 192.168.2.100 then the end address will be
192.168.2.254 (100 + 150 – 1 = 254).
4.
Lease time
12
How long can a leased IP be considered valid. An IP address after the specified amount of time will expire and the device that leased it out will have to request for a new one. Select Hour or Minute (minimum 2min).

7.3.2 DHCP Server

The DHCP server is the router side service that can automatically configure the TCP/IP settings of any device that requests such a service.

7.6 Firewall

In this section we will look over the various firewall features that come with RUT9.

7.6.1 General Settings

The routers firewall is a standard Linux iptables package, which uses routing chains and policies to facilitate control over inbound and outbound traffic.
67
Field Name
Sample value
Explanation
1.
Drop Invalid packets
Checked/Unchecked
A “Drop” action is performed on a packet that is determined to be invalid
2.
Input
Reject/Drop/Accept
DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the Input chain.
3.
Output
Reject/Drop/Accept
DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the Output chain.
4.
Forward
Reject/Drop/Accept
DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the Forward chain.
*DEFAULT: When a packet goes through a firewall chain it is matched against all the rules for that specific chain. If no rule matches said packet, an according Action (either Drop or Reject or Accept) is performed.
Accept – Packet gets to continue down the next chain.
Drop – Packet is stopped and deleted.
Reject – Packet is stopped, deleted and, differently from Drop, an ICMP packet containing a message of rejection is sent to the source of the dropped packet.

7.6.2 DMZ

Just type them out into the text field ant it will get executed as a Linux shell script. If you are unsure of how to use iptables, check out the internet for manuals, examples and explanations.

7.6.6 DDOS Prevention

7.6.6.1 SYN Flood Protection
SYN Flood Protection allows you to protect from attack that exploits part of the normal TCP three-way handshake to consume resources on the targeted server and render it unresponsive. Essentially, with SYN flood DDoS, the offender sends TCP connection requests faster than the targeted machine can process them, causing network saturation.

7.6.6.4 HTTP Attack Prevention
HTTP attack sends a complete, legitimate HTTP header, which includes a 'Content-Length' field to specify the size of the message body to follow. However, the attacker then proceeds to send the actual message body at an extremely slow rate (e.g. 1 byte/110 seconds). Due to the entire message being correct and complete, the target server will attempt to obey the 'Content-Length' field in the header, and wait for the entire body of the message to be transmitted, hence slowing it down.

VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a method for secure data transfer through unsafe public network. This section explains how to configure OpenVPN, which is implementation of VPN supported by the RUT9 router.
A picture below demonstrates default OpenVPN configurations list, which is empty, so you have to define a new configuration to establish any sort of OpenVPN connection. To create it, enter desired configuration name in “New configuration name” field, select device role from “Role” drop down list. For example, to create an OpenVPN client with configuration name demo, select client role, name it “demo” and press “Add New” button as shown in the following picture.
To see at specific configuration settings press “edit” button located in newly created configuration entry. A new page with detailed configuration appears, as shown in the picture below (TLS client example).

After setting any of these parameters press “Save” button. Some of selected parameters will be shown in the configuration list table. You should also be aware of the fact that router will launch separate OpenVPN service for every configuration entry (if it is defined as active, of course) so the router has ability to act as server and client at the same time.

8.5.2 IPSec

The IPsec protocol client enables the router to establish a secure connection to an IPsec peer via the Internet. IPsec is supported in two modes - transport and tunnel. Transport mode creates secure point to point channel between two hosts. Tunnel mode can be used to build a secure connection between two remote LANs serving as a VPN solution.
