This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the LTE4506.
The LTE4506 is a 4G+ home-spot wireless router, which can connect to a mobile network and the Internet
through a wireless WAN connection and provide easy network access to mobile users without additional
wiring. You can set up a wireless network with other IEEE 802.11b/g/n compatible devices.
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
LTE4506
A range of services such as a firewall are also available for secure Internet computing.
Your LTE4506 is easy to install, configure and use. The embedded Web-based configurator enables
simple, straightforward management and maintenance. See the Quick Start Guide for how to make
hardware connections.
1.2 Ways to Manage the LTE4506
You can use the following way to manage the LTE4506.
Web Configurator
The Web Configurator allows easy LTE4506 setup and management using an Internet browser. This User’s
Guide provides information about the Web Configurator.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the LTE4506
Do the following things regularly to make the LTE4506 more secure and to manage it more effectively.
• Change the password often. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different
types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working
configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your
password, you will have to reset the LTE4506 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you won’t have to totally re-configure the LTE4506; you can simply restore your last
configuration.
1.4 Hardware Connections
See your Quick Start Guide for information on making hardware connections. You need to insert a SIM
card to the SIM card slot at the bottom of the LTE4506 before you can use it.
1.5 Turn on/off the LTE4506
To turn on the device, press the power button and hold until any of the LED lights turns on
To turn off the device, press the power button and hold until all the LED lights are off.

1.8 Resetting the LTE4506
If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to
use the physical Reset button to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will
lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be reset to 1234 and the IP
address will be reset to 192.168.1.1.
1.8.1 How to Use the Physical Reset Button
1Make sure the LTE4506 is turned on.
2Press the Reset button at the bottom of the LTE4506 until it reboots and set it back to the factory-default
configurations.

This chapter discusses the LTE4506’s Internet screens. Use these screens to configure your LTE4506 for
Internet access.
A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the Internet. It
connects your private networks, such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other networks, so that a
computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations.
