If the Login dialog does not appear, check that Obtain an IP address and
Obtain DNS Server are both set to automatic in the TCP/IP settings on the
computer.

Type the Password password
Click the OK button. The VoloAccess Index page appears.
Click Admin. The Admin Status page appears.

The SIM is installed in the side of the VoloAccess as follows:

without the
Indicators on) by
slipping a narrow
object like a credit
card or a small
screwdriver under
the edge and gently
prise it off to reveal
the SIM
compartment.
Press the cover latch in the direction
indicated by the arrow and remove the
cover to reveal the SIM holder as
shown in the next image.
Gently slide the retainer in the OPEN
direction. (OPEN/LOCK is marked on
the retainer). Then turn the retainer over
to expose the SIM slot. (the retainer is
hinged)
Slide the SIM into the retainer with the
cut corner positioned as shown.
The contact pads on the SIM should be
facing up ready to engage the
connectors in the base of the holder.
Turn the retainer over and slide in the LOCK
direction to secure the SIM in position.
Complete installing the SIM by:
replacing the SIM compartment cover, and
refitting the side panel.
Connect to a Computer
Connect the Ethernet cable to the LAN connector on the back of the
VoloAccess
Connect the other end to the LAN connector (usually marked like this: ) on
the computer.
Connect a Telephone (Voice enabled VoloAccess only)
Connect a telephone using a RJ11 cable to the PHONE connector on the back
of the VoloAccess.

VoloAccess. Connect the power cable to the wall outlet.
Power up the VoloAccess
Check all of the connections defined above are secure, then switch the power
on at the back of the VoloAccess.
During start up, the VoloAccess flashes the WiFi Protected Setup, Signal
Strength and Mobile Network indicators at 1 second intervals for about 30
seconds, then goes into normal operation mode.
Look at the Mobile Network Connection indicator ( ). If it is:
a) OFF – The SIM is missing or locked. Check that the SIM is inserted
correctly. On a voice enabled VoloAccess you can unlock the SIM using
the telephone keypad. Lift the handset and enter #NNNN# (where NNNN is
the SIM PIN) then replace the handset. The Mobile Network Connection
light should then go into one of the following states:
b) ON Flashing at 1 second intervals – The VoloAccess is searching for a
mobile network.
c) ON Flashing at 2 second intervals - Registered to a mobile network - voice
and SMS services available, but no data service.
d) ON Solid - Broadband data service established - all services are available.
If your VoloAccess was purchased as a packaged unit from a service
provider including a configured SIM, your Mobile Network indicator
should go ON Solid. It is not necessary to configure the unit. Load your
favourite browser and surf the Internet.
