3 Quick Installation
This chapter describes how to configure the WAN network interfaces on the device.
3.1
Connection Principle
The device has three configurable network interfaces, Ethernet WAN or Ethernet LAN for a cable network, and Mobile WAN (3G) for wireless communication. The WAN interfaces are used for connecting the device to public Internet or private APN. Ethernet LAN is used for connecting other
Ethernet devices to the device's local network.
The WAN interfaces can be configured to get redundant system where one
WAN automatically gets traffic if the other one goes down. For example, if the primary Ethernet connection goes down, the traffic is automatically switched to mobile WAN (secondary connection) and back when the Ethernet interface comes up again. This way the availability of the remote system is better than with just one interface.
3.2
Connecting cables
1. Verify that the power switch is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable between the device (Ethernet LAN connector) and the computer used for the configuration.
3. Connect power supply to the device and toggle the power switch to ON position.
4. The error LED should turn on immediately after the power switch is turned on.
5. After the system has initialized, the Error LED turns off and the function
LED starts to blink.
3.3

4.1.3
Mobile WAN
The mobile WAN screen configures the Mobile WAN interface on the device.
The configuration screen fields are described below.
PIN code
APN Type
The 2G/3G/LTE cellular networks use a
SIM card. The SIM card can be protected by PIN code (personal identification number). If the PIN code is used, it must be entered to device Mobile WAN settings. Leave the PIN code field empty if no PIN code is used. If a wrong PIN code is entered, correct the code and enter the correct PIN code to the SIM by using a mobile phone.
By default automatic APN discovery is used. The device tries default APN values based on network ID received from cellular network. If automatic settings do not work, set to APN Type parameter from Automatic to Manual.
APN
The APN parameter defines the cellular access point name. If APN Type is set to Manual the access point works as a gateway from the cellular network to internet. There are public and private access points. A public access point is usually defined. A private access point requires contract with a cellular operator. Define the access point name as according to information received from the cellular operator.
Authentication, username, password
If the cellular network requires authentication for using the access point, the access point’s username and password need to be defined in the device. In this case, select the authentication type (PAP, password authentication protocol or CHAP, challenge handshake authentication protocol) as according to information received from the cellular operator.
DNS selection, DNS servers
Allows user defined DNS servers, receiving DNS server IP addresses from cellular network or leaving DNS configuration as disabled. The DNS servers are used for resolving names to
IP addresses.

5 Serial Port Configuration
5.1
Configuring serial gateway
This section describes how to configure serial <-> IP functionality.
The serial gateway feature enables data from the serial port attached device to be routed to Ethernet/mobile network (serial over IP) and vice versa. Serial gateway processes the transmitted data transparently and does not alter it any way except for buffering it for transmission. Because of the transparent communication, any protocols can be used in actual communication between nodes.
Figure 17. Serial gateway configuration screen
Serial gateway configuration depends on used protocols.
Both serial ports have their own configuration screens, located in
Applications->Serial Gateway (RS1) and Applications->Serial Gateway
(RS2).
