1 Introduction
This user manual describes the features and how to configure Virtual Access GW1000
and GW1000M Series routers.
The Virtual Access GW1000 and GW1000M Series routers enable 3G or LTE connectivity
in vehicles such as buses, taxis and fleet vehicles for applications such as passenger WiFi
internet access, telemetry and employee WiFi access to corporate network services.
Designed for managed network providers, GW1000 and GW1000M Series routers provide
secure WAN connectivity for internet and private networking environments over 3G or
4G broadband paths and incorporate optional 802.11n WiF i connectivity.
1.1 Document scope
This document covers models in the GW1000 Series and the GW1000M Series. For
general references, we refer to the GW1000 Series throughout. Feature variations
between GW1000 Series and GW1000M Series are described in separate sections.
1: Introduction
1.1.1 GW1000 Series routers
The Virtual Access GW1000 Series router is a compact 3G, 4G/LTE router with WiFi,
designed with a lightweight plastic case with optional carrier for use in vehicles and a
wide range of si t e-based applications.
1.1.2 GW1000M Series routers
The Virtual Access GW1000M Series router is a compact 3G, 4G/LTE router with WiFi,
designed with a rugged metal housing for use in vehicles and a wide r ange of site-based
applications.

1.2 Using this documentation
You can configure your router using either the router’s web interface or via the command
line using UCI commands. Each chapter explains first the web interface settings,
followed by how to configure the router using UCI. The web interface screens are shown
along with a path to the screen for example, ‘In the top menu, se lect Service ->
SNMP.’ followed by a screen grab.
After the screen grab there is an information table that describes each of the screen’s
fields.

Description
Opt: metric
1.2.1 Information tables
We use information tables to show the different ways to configure the router using the
router’s web and command line. The left-hand column shows three options:
• Web: refers the command on the router’s web page,
• UCI: shows the specific UCI command, and
• Opt: shows the package option.
The right-hand column shows a description field that describes the feature’s field or
command and shows any options for that feature.
Some features have a drop-down menu and the options are described in a table within
the description column. The default value is shown in a grey cell.
Values for enabling and disabling a feature are var ied throughout the web interface, for
example, 1/0; Yes/No; True/False; check/uncheck a radio button. In the table
descriptions, we use 0 to denote Disable and 1 to denote Enable.
Some configuration s ections can be defined more than once. An example of this is the
routing table where multiple routes can exist and all are named ‘route’. For these
sections, the UCI command will have a code value [0] or [x] (where x is the section
number) to identify the section.
1: Introduction
Web: Metric
UCI: network.@route[0].metric
Specifies the route metric to use.
Note: these sections can be given a label for identification when using UCI or package
options.
network.@route[0]=route
network.@route[0].metric=0
can be witten as:
network.routename=route
network.routename.metric=0
However the documenta t io n usually assumes that a section label is not configured.
The table below shows fields from a variety of chapters to illustrate the explanations
above.

1.2.2 Definitions
Throughout the document, we use the host name ‘VA _router’ to cover all router models.
UCI commands and package option examples are shown in the following format:
Enables CESoPSN services.
Selects the severity used for logging events CESoPS N in syslog .
The following levels are available .
Specifies the address(es) and port(s) on which the agent should
listen.
[(udp|tcp):]port[@address][,…]

1.2.3 Diagnostics
Diagnostics are explained at the end of each feature’s chapter.
1.2.4 UCI commands
For detailed information on using UCI commands, read chapters ‘Router File Structure’
and ‘Using Command Line Interface’.

2.10 Antenna
The GW1000 Series router has two SMA connectors for connection of two antennas for
antenna diversity. Antenna diversity helps improve the quality of a wireless link by
mitigating problems associated with multipath interference.
The GW1000M Series router standard locking DC power connector model has two
additional SMA female WiFi antenna sockets.

2.15 Connecting the antenna
If you are connecting only one antenna, screw the antenna into the MAIN SMA
connector.
If you are using two antennas, screw the main antenna into the MAIN SMA connect or
and the secondary antenna into the AUX SMA connec tor.
2.16 Powering up
The router takes approximately 2 minutes to boot up. During this time, the PWR/CONFIG

Recovery mode is a fail-safe mode where the router can load a default configuration
from the routers firmware. If your router goes into recovery mode, all config files are
kept intact. After the next reboot, the router will revert to the previous config file.
You can use recovery mode to manipulate the config files, but should only be used if all
other configs files are corrupt. If your router has entered recovery mode, contact you r

5: Factory configuration extraction from SIM card
5 Factory configuration extract ion from SIM c a rd
Virtual Access routers have a feature to update the factory configuration from a SIM
card. This allows you to change the factory configuration of a router when installing the
SIM.
1. Make sure the SIM card you are inserting has the required configuration written on it.
2. Ensure the router is p owered off.
3. Hold the SIM 1 card with the chip side facing down and the cut corner front left.
4. Gently push the SIM card into SIM slot 1 until it clicks in.
5. Power up the router.
Depending on the model, the power LED and/or the configuration LED flash as usual.
The SIM LED starts flashing . This indicates the application responsible for 3G and
configuration extraction management is running. It also means the update of the
configuration is happening.
When the update is finished, depending on the model, the power LED and/or the
configuration LED blink a lternatively and very fast for 20 seconds.
Note: factory configuration extraction is only supporte d on mobile modules that support
phone book operations.
