Introduction
LTE (4G)/3G/2G
WiFi
1.1 Overview
The Zyxel Device is an outdoor LTE (Long Term Evolution) router that also supports a Gigabit Ethernet
connection. The Zyxel Device also includes a robust firewall that uses Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)
technology and protects against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
Your Zyxel Device is easy to install, configure and use. The embedded Web-based Configurator enables
simple, straightforward management and maintenance. Just insert the SIM card (that has Internet
access settings) and make the hardware connections. See the Quick Start Guide for how to do the
hardware installation, wall mounting, Internet setup and turning on/off WiFi (optional).
1.2 Application for the Zyxel Device
CHAPTER 1
Internet Access
Your Zyxel Device provides shared Internet access by connecting to an LTE network. Computers can
connect to the Zyxel Device’s PoE injector.
Figure 1 Zyxel Device’s Internet Access Application
1.3 Managing the Zyxel Device
Use the Web Configurator for everyday management of the Zyxel Device using a (supported) web
browser.
LTE7240 User’s Guide
12
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.4 Good Habits for Managing the LTE Device
Do the following things regularly to make the Zyxel Device more secure and to manage the Zyxel
Device more effectively.
• Change the password. 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). Refer to Section 23.2 on page
147. Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even
crashes. If you forget your password to access the Web Configurator, you will have to reset the Zyxel
Device to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not
have to totally re-configure the Zyxel Device. You could simply restore your last configuration.
1.5 LEDs (Lights)
None of the LEDs are on if the Zyxel Device is not receiving power.
Table 1 LTE7240-M403 LED Descriptions
LED COLOR STATUS DESCRIPTION
POWER Green On The Zyxel Device is receiving power and ready for use.
Blinking The Zyxel Device is booting or self-testing.

Note: Blinking (slow) means the LED blinks once per second. Blinking (fast) means the LED
blinks once per 0.2 second.

1.6 The RESET Button
If you forget your password or cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the RESET
button of the device as shown in the following figure 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.
Note: Use only insulator material to press the RESET button.
Chapter 1 Introduction
1 Make sure the Zyxel Device is connected to power and POWER LED on the left is on.
2 To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for 5 seconds.
Note: If you press the RESET button for more than 2 seconds but less than 5 seconds, it will
cause the system to reboot.

and the throughput is not going to improve anymore. If you want some applications to
have more throughput, you should turn off other applications.
Usually, this percentage should not increase much. If memory usage does get close to
100%, the Zyxel Device is probably becoming unstable, and you should restart the
device. See Chapter 23 on page 148, or turn off the device (unplug the power) for a
few seconds.

4.1 Overview
This chapter discusses the Zyxel Device’s Broadband screens. Use these screens to configure your Zyxel
Device 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.

4.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the Cellular WAN screen to configure an LTE WAN connection (Section 4.2 on page 29).
• Use the SIM screen to enter the PIN of your SIM card (Section 4.3 on page 30).
• Use the Band screen to view or edit an LTE WAN interface. You can also configure the WAN settings
on the Zyxel Device for Internet access (Section 4.4 on page 32).
• Use the PLMN screen to display available Public Land Mobile Networks (Section 4.5 on page 33).
• Use the IP Passthrough screen to configure an LTE WAN connection (Section 4.6 on page 34).
• Use the Detail Statistics screen to specify limiting the amount of data package and view the Zyxel
Device’s traffic statistics (Section 4.7 on page 35).
4.1.2 What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.

Chapter 4 Broadband
WAN IP Address
The WAN IP address is an IP address for the Zyxel Device, which makes it accessible from an outside
network. It is used by the Zyxel Device to communicate with other devices in other networks. The ISP
dynamically assigns it each time the Zyxel Device tries to access the Internet.
APN
Access Point Name (APN) is a unique string which indicates an LTE network. An APN is required for LTE
stations to enter the LTE network and then the Internet.
4.1.3 Before You Begin
You may need to know your Internet access settings such as LTE APN, WAN IP address and SIM card’s
PIN code if the INTERNET light on your Zyxel Device is off. Get this information from your service provider.
4.2 Cellular WAN Screen
Click Network Setting > Broadband > Cellular WAN to display the following screen. Use this screen to
configure an LTE WAN connection that includes the Access Point Name (APN) provided by your service
provider.
Note: The APN information can be obtained from the service provider of your SIM card.
Figure 14 Network Setting > Broadband > Cellular WAN
Note: Roaming charges may apply when Data Roaming is enabled.
Automatic APN Mode is not supported when operating in 3G only mode.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
General
Data Roaming Select this check box to enable data roaming on the Zyxel Device.
4G roaming is to use your mobile device in an area which is not covered by your service provider.
Enable roaming to ensure that your Zyxel Device is kept connected to the Internet when you are
traveling outside the geographical coverage area of the network to which you are registered.
APN Settings
APN Mode Select Auto to have the Zyxel Device configure the APN (Access Point Name) of an LTE network
APN This field displays the Access Point Name (APN) in the profile.
Username This field displays the user name in the profile.

automatically. Otherwise, select Manual and enter the APN manually in the field below
Enter the Access Point Name (APN) provided by your service provider. Connections with different
APNs may provide different services (such as Internet access or MMS (Multi-Media Messaging
Service)) and charging method.
You can enter up to 30 printable ASCII characters. Spaces are allowed.
Type the user name (up to 31 printable ASCII characters) given to you by your service provider.
Type the password (up to 31 printable ASCII characters) associated with the user name above.
Select the type of authentication method peers use to connect to the Zyxel Device in LTE
connections.
In Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) peers identify themselves with a user name and
password. In Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) additionally to user name
and password the Zyxel Device sends regular challenges to make sure an intruder has not
replaced a peer. Otherwise select PAP/CHAP or None.
4.3 SIM Configuration Screen
Use the SIM configuration page to enter a PIN for your SIM card to prevent others from using it.
Entering the wrong PIN code 3 times locks the SIM card after which you
need a PUK from the service provider to unlock it.
Click Network Setting > Broadband > SIM. The following screen opens.
