1. ROUTER CONFIGURATION USING A WEB BROWSER

B&B Electronics RTLTE-324-VZ - ROUTER CONFIGURATION USING A WEB BROWSER - 1

Aenon! The SPECTRE cellular router will not operate unless the cellular carrier has been correctly congured and the account acvated and provisioned for data communicaons. For UMTS and LTE carriers, a SIM card must be inserted into the router. Do not insert the SIM card when the router is powered up.

You can monitor the status, conguraon and administraon of the router via the Web interface. To access the router over the web interface, enter hp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx into the URL for the browser where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the router IP address. The modem's default IP address is 192.168.1.1. The default username is "root" and the default password is "root".

The le side of the web interface displays the menu. You will nd links for the Status, Conguraon and Administraon of the router.

Name and Location displays the router's name, locaon and SNMP conguraon (See SNMP conguraon). These elds are user-dened for each router.

For enhanced security, you should change the default password. If the router's default password is set, the menu item "Change password" is highlighted in red.

Figure 1: Web Conguraon

If the green LED is blinking, you may restore the router to its factory default sengs by pressing RST on front panel. The conguraon will be restored to the factory defaults and the router will reboot. (The green LED will be on during the reboot.)

SECURED ACCESS TO WEB CONFIGURATION

The Web interface can be accessed through a standard web browser via a secure HTTPS conncon.

Access the web interface by entering hps://192.168.1.1 in the web browser. You may receive a message that there is a problem with the website's security cercate. If you do, click on "Connue to this website". If you wish to prevent this message, you must install a security cercate into the router.

Since the domain name in the cercate is given the MAC address of the router (such addresses use dashes instead of colons as separators), it is necessary to access the router under this domain name. For access to the router via a domain name, a DNS record must be added to the DNS table in the operang system.

There are three methods to add a domain name to the operang system:

  • Eding /etc/hosts (Linux/Unix)
  • Eding C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows XP)
    • Conguring your own DNS server

You must then add a security cercate to the web server on the router. When using a self-signed cercate, you must upload your les to the certs directory /etc/certs in the router.

GENERAL

A summary of basic informaon about the router and its advies can be invoked by selecng the General menu item. This page is also displayed when you login to the web interface. Informaon is divided into several of separate blocks according to the type of router acvity or the properes area – Mobile Connecon, Primary LAN, Peripherals Ports and System Informaon. If your router is equipped with a Wi-Fi expansion port, there is also a Wi-Fi secon.

DHCP STATUS

Informaon about the DHCP server can be accessed by selecng the DHCP status. The DHCP server provides automac conguraon of the client devices connected to the router. The DHCP server assigns each device an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway (IP address of router) and DNS server (IP address of router).

For each client in the list, the DHCP status window displays the following informaon.

Figure 7: System log

The Syslog default size is 1000 lines. When the system log reaches the maximum size, it is deleted and a new log le is started.

The program syslogd can be run on the router to conjure the system log. The syslogd opon "-s" followed by a decimal number will set the maximum number of lines in the log le. The "-r" opon followed by the hostname or IP address will enable logging to a syslog daemon on a remote computer. On remote Linux machines, the syslog daemon is enabled by running syslogd with the parameter "-r". On remote Windows machines, a syslog server such as Syslog Watcher must be installed.

To enable remote logging when the router powers up, modify the script "/etc/init.d/syslog" or insert the commands "killall syslogd" and "syslogd " into the startup script.

The DHCP server assigns the IP address, default gateway IP address, and IP address of the DNS server to the connected DHCP clients.

The DHCP server supports both stac and dynamic assignment of IP addresses. In Dynamic IP address assignment, the DHCP server will assign a client the next available IP address from the allowed IP address pool. Once the lease me on an IP address has expired, the DHCP server is free to re-assign that IP to another client.

VRRP CONFIGURATION

Select the VRRP menu item to enter the VRRP conguraon. VRRP protocol (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) allows you to transfer packet round from the main router to a backup router in case the main router fails. This can be used to provide a wireless cellular backup to a primary wired router in critical applications. If the Enable VRRP is checked, you may set the following parameters.

Table 15: VRRP conguraon

ItemDescripon
Virtual Server IP AddressThis parameter sets the virtual server IP address. This address must be the same for both the primary and backup routers. Devices on the LAN will use this address as their default gateway IP address.
Virtual Server IDThis parameter disnguishes one virtual router on the network from another. The main and backup routers must use the same value for this parameter.
Host PriorityThe acve router with highest priority set by the parameter Host Priority, is the main router. According to RFC 2338, the main router should have the highest possible priority - 255. The backup router(s) have a priority in the range 1 – 254 (default value is 100). A priority value of 0 is not allowed.

You may set the Check conncon ag in the second part of the window to enable automat test messages for the cellular network. In some cases, the mobile WAN conncon could sll be acve but the router will not be able to send data over the cellular network. This feature is used to verify that data can be sent over the PPP conncon and supplements the normal VRRP message handling. The currently acve router (main/backup) will send test messages to the dened Ping IP Address at periodic me intervals (Ping Interval) and wait for a reply (Ping Timeout). If the router does not receive a response to the Ping command, it will retry up to the number of mes specied by the Ping Probes parameter. Aer that me, it will switch itself to a backup router unl the PPP conncon is restored.

Table 16: Check conncon

ItemDescripon
Ping IP AddressDesnaon IP address for the Ping commands.
Ping IntervalInterval in seconds between the outgoing Pings.
Ping TimeoutTime in seconds to wait for a response to the Ping.
Ping ProbesMaximum number of failed ping requests

You may use the DNS server of the mobile carrier as the desnaon IP address for the test messages (Pings).

The Enable Trac Monitoring opon can be used to reduce the number of messages that are sent to test the PPP conncon. When this parameter is set, the router will monitor the interface for any packets dierent from a ping. If a response to the packet is received within the meout specied by the Ping Timeout parameter, then the router knows that the conncon is sll acve. If the router does not receive a response within the meout period, it will aempt to test the mobile WAN conncon using standard Ping commands.

Figure 18: Cellular WAN conguraon

CELLULAR CARRIER SEL ECTION

The SPECTRE 3G Cellular Router can be congured to communicate on up to 2 UMTS or CDMA cellular networks. This allows the router to switch to a second carrier network if there is a problem with the primary network. The router can only communicate on one cellular network at a me and if redundancy is not required, then only one account needs to be acvated. For GSM/UMTS networks, the account informaon will be on the SIM card provided by the carrier. For CDMA networks, the account is provisioned over-the-air by the network provider and a SIM card is not required. The Mobile Equipment Idener (MEID) of the router must be provided to the CDMA network cellular carrier when the account is set up.

The primary and secondary cellular carriers are selected using the drop-down lists on the Cellular WAN conguraon page under the Primary and Secondary SIM card headings. The 3G router supports AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Rogers Cellular networks. Verizon and Sprint have CDMA networks and the others are GSM networks. The default carrier is set to a generic UMTS provider. Refer to Sprint CDMA network conneccon secon below for acvang the router on the Sprint CDMA network.

B&B Electronics RTLTE-324-VZ - CELLULAR CARRIER SEL ECTION - 1

The carrier selecon drop-down list is not available on LTE devices. For LTE devices, the carrier must be specied when ordering the router and the account sengs will be on the SIM card provided by the network operator.

CONNECTION TO MOBILE NETWORK CONNECTION

If the Create conncon to mobile network opon is selected, the router will automatically try to establish a conncon aer power up. If the aempt is unsuccessful, the router will re-boot and try again. For GSM/UMTS and LTE networks, the following network informaon can be congured. In most cases, the necessary informaon will be included on the SIM card provided by the carrier and these elds can be le empty or at their default values. Please contact your cellular network provider for more informaon.

MRU(Maximum Receiving Unit) – The maximum packet size that can be received in a given environment. Default value is 1500 bytes. Other sengs may cause incorrect transmission of data.
MTU(Maximum Transmission Unit) – The maximum packet size that can be transmied in a given environment. Default value is 1500 bytes. Other sengs may cause incorrect transmission of data.

If the IP address eld is not lled in, the network operator will automatically assign an IP address when the conncon is established. If a stac IP address is supplied by the operator, the me required to connect to the network will be reduced.

If the APN eld is not lled in, the router will automatically select the APN based on the IMSI code of the SIM card. If the PLMN of the cellular carrier is not in the APN list, then default APN is "internet". Contact your mobile operator to determine if the APN informaon must be entered.

B&B Electronics RTLTE-324-VZ - CONNECTION TO MOBILE NETWORK CONNECTION - 1

Access to the SIM card may be blocked if the PIN code for a locked SIM is entered incorrectly. Contact technical support if your SIM card becomes blocked.

B&B Electronics RTLTE-324-VZ - CONNECTION TO MOBILE NETWORK CONNECTION - 2

If only one SIM card is installed in the router, the router switches between the APNs on the SIM card. A router with two SIM cards switches between SIM cards.

B&B Electronics RTLTE-324-VZ - CONNECTION TO MOBILE NETWORK CONNECTION - 3

The items marked with an '*' should only be entered if they are required by the cellular network operator. If the router is unable to establish a Mobile Network conneccon, verify that the network sengs have been entered correctly. You may also try a dierent authencaon method or network type.

SPRINT CDMA NETWORK CONNECTION

The SPECTRE 3G router must be manually acvated on the Sprint network using the web interface aer the account has been set up by Sprint.

To acvate the router on the Sprint network:

  1. Ensure that a data account has been set up by Sprint. You will need to provide the MEID of the router to the Sprint account rep. This number can be found on the label on the boom of the router and on the outside of the router package. It can also be found on the Mobile WAN status web page when Sprint is selected as the primary carrier.
  2. Connect the antennas and Ethernet cable to the router and power up the device.
  3. Select Sprint as the primary carrier on the Mobile WAN conguraon web page. This will enable the CDMA Administraon menu item.
  4. Bring up the Advanced CDMA Administraon web page by clicking on the CDMA menu item under Administraon.
  5. Click on the Acvate Device buon to perform the over-the-air device acvaon. When it is complete, you can view the Mobile Device Number (MDN) on the Mobile WAN status page.
  6. If the acvaon fails, verify that the antenna connecons are ght and that the correct MEID has been set up on the Sprint network.

DNS ADDRESS CONFIGURATION

If Get DNS address from operator opon is selected, the router will automatically aempt to get the IP addresses for the primary and secondary DNS servers from the cellular network operator.

CHECK CONNECTION TO MOBILE NETWORK CONFIGURATION

You may set the Check conncon ag to enable automac test messages for the cellular network. In some cases, the PPP conncon may sll be acve but the router will not be able to send data over the cellular network. The router will send a Ping command to the Ping IP Address at periodic me intervals (Ping Interval) If the router does not receive a response to the Ping command, it will retry up to the number of mes specied by the Ping Probes parameter. Aer that me, it will switch itself to a backup router unl the mobile network conncon is restored.

Table 18: Check conncon to mobile network conguraon

ItemDescripon
Ping IP AddressDesnaon IP address or domain name for the ping queries.
Ping IntervalTime intervals between the outgoing pings.

If the Enable Trac Monitoring opon is selected, the router stops sending ping quesons to the Ping IP Address and it will watch trac in mobile network conncon. If mobile network conncon is without trac longer than the Ping Interval, then the router sends ping quesons to the Ping IP Address.

Note: It is recommended that you enable Check Connecon to ensure reliable data communicaon.

DATA LIMIT CONFIGURATION

The router can be congured to automacally send an SMS message or switch to a backup SIM card if the amount of data sent or received exceeds a given threshold for the monthly billing period.

Accounting StartSets the day of the month in which the billing cycle starts for the SIM card being used. The start of the billing period is determined by the network operator.

If neither one of the opons Switch to backup SIM card when data limit is exceeded (see next) or Send SMS when data limit is exceeded (see SMS conguraon) is selected, the data limit will be ignored.

SWITCHING BETWEEN SIM CARDS OR NETWORKS

You may denote rules in the router for switching between two APNs on one SIM card or between two SIM cards or network providers. The router can automatically switch between the network setups when the acve PPP conncon is lost, the data limit is exceeded, or the binary input on the front panel goes acve.

B&B Electronics RTLTE-324-VZ - SWITCHING BETWEEN SIM CARDS OR NETWORKS - 1

Table 20: Default and backup SIM conguraon

ItemDescripon
Default SIM cardThis parameter sets the default APN or SIM card for the PPP conncon. If this parameter is set tonone, the router boots up in o-line mode and it will be necessary to initiate the PPP conncon by sending an SMS message to the router.
Backup SIM cardDenes the backup APN or SIM card.

If parameter Backup SIM card is set to none, then the parameters Switch to other SIM card when conncon fails, Switch to backup SIM card when roaming is detected and Switch to backup SIM card when data limit is exceeded will switch the router to o-line mode

Table 21: Switch between SIM card conguraons

ItemDescripon
Switch to other SIM card when conncon failsIf the PPP conncon fails, the router will switch to the secondary SIM card or secondary APN of the SIM card. The router will switch to the backup SIM card if the router is unable to establish a PPP conncon aer 3 aempts or the Check the PPP conncon onop is selected and the router detects that the PPP conncon has failed.
Switch to backup SIM card when roaming is detectedIf roaming is detected, this opon forces the router to switch to the secondary SIM card or secondary APN of the SIM card.
Switch to backup SIM card when data limit is exceededThis opon enables the router to switch to the secondary SIM card or secondary APN of the SIM card when the data limit of default APN is exceeded.
Switch to backup SIM card when binary input is acveThis parameter forces the router to switch to the secondary SIM card or secondary APN of the SIM card when binary input ‘bin0’ is acve.
Switch to primary SIM card aer meoutThis parameter denies the method the router will use to try to switch back to the default SIM card or default APN.

The following parameters denote the amount of me that must elapse before the router will aempt to go back to the default SIM card or APN.

Table 22: Switch between SIM card conguraons

ItemDescripon
Inial meoutThe rst aempt to switch back to the primary SIM card or APN shall be made aer the me dened in the parameter Inial Timeout. The range of this parameter is from 1 to 10000 minutes.
Subsequent TimeoutAer an unsuccessful aempt to switch to the default SIM card, the router will make a second aempt aer the amount of me dened in the parameter Subsequent Timeout. The range is from 1 to 10000 minutes.
Addive constantAny further aempts to switch back to the primary SIM card or APN shall be made aer a meout computed as the sum of the previous meout period and the me dened in the parameter Addive constants. The range is from 1 to 10000 minutes.

Example: Opon Switch to primary SIM card aer meout is checked and the parameters are set as follows: Inial Timeout = 60 min. Subsequent Timeout = 30 min. Addive Constant = 20 min.

The rst aempt to switch back to the primary SIM card or APN shall be carried out aer 60 minutes. The second aempt will be made 30 minutes later. The third aempt will be made aer 50 minutes (30+20). The fourth aempt will be made aer 70 minutes (30+20+20).

PPPOE BRIDGE MODE CO NFIGURATION

If the Enable PPPoE bridge mode opon is selected, the router will acvate the PPPoE bridge protocol. PPPoE (point-to-point over ethernet) is a network protocol for encapsulang Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames. This feature allows a device connected to the ETH port of the router to create a PPP conncon with the cellular network.

The gure below describes the situation, when the connection to mobile network is controlled on the address 8.8.8.8 in the measure of 60 seconds for primary SIM card and on the address www.google.com in the measure of 80 seconds for secondary SIM card. In the case of trace on the router the control pins are not sent, but the trace is monitored.

Figure 20: Example of Mobile WAN conguraon 1

Figure 21 shows an example of how to congregate the router to automatically switch to the backup SIM card when it exceeds the data limit of 800 MB in the billing period. It will send out a warning SMS message when 400 MB of data have been transmied. In the example shown, the billing period begins on the 18th day of the month.

BACKUP ROUTES

By using the conguraon form on the Backup Routes page, you can back up the primary conncon with alternate conncons to the Internet/mobile network. Each back up conncon can be assigned a priority. Switching between conncons is done based on set priories and the state of the conncons (for Primary LAN and Secondary LAN).

If the Enable backup routes switching opon is checked, the default route is selected according to the sengs below.

You can set the parameters for enabling each of backup route

If the Enable backup routes switching opon is not checked, the Backup routes system operates in the so-called backward compatibility mode. The default route is selected based on implicit priories according to the status of each enabled network interface. The names of backup routes and corresponding network interfaces, in order of implicit priories, are:

  • Mobile WAN (pppX, usbX)
  • PPPoE (ppp0)
    • Secondary LAN (eth1)
    • Primary LAN (eth0)

Example:

Secondary LAN is selected as the default route only if Create conncon to mobile network opon is not checked on the Mobile WAN page, alternatively if Create PPPoE conncon opon is not checked on the PPPoE page. To select the Primary LAN it is also necessary not to be entered IP address for Secondary LAN and must not be enabled DHCP Client for Secondary LAN.

PPPOE CONFIGURATION

B&B Electronics RTLTE-324-VZ - PPPOE CONFIGURATION - 1

The SPECTRE cellular router does not support the PPPoE conguraon opon. PPPoE conguraon is only available on SPECTRE RT routers. It is used to set the PPPoE conncon over Ethernet.

PPPoE (Point-to-Point over Ethernet) is a network protocol where PPP frames are encapsulated in Ethernet frames. The PPPoE feature in the SPECTRE RT industrial router operates in client mode. The router will connect to a PPPoE server or a PPPoE bridge device such as an ADSL modem.

To enter the PPPoE congruration, select the PPPoE menu item. If the Create PPPoE conncon on is selected, the router will aempt to establish a PPPoE conncon on power up. The PPPoE client will connect to devices that support either a PPPoE bridge or a PPPoE server. Aer a PPPoE conncon is established, the router obtains the IP address of the PPPoE Server device and all communications from the device are forwarded to the industrial router.

LTE FIREWALL CONFIGURATION

The rst security element which incoming packets must pass is check of enabled source IP address and desnaon ports. The IP address can be specied from which you can remotely access the router and the internal network connected behind a router. If the Enable Itering of incoming packets items is checked (located at the beginning of the conguraon form Firewall), this element is enabled and accessibility is checked against the table with IP addresses. This means that access is permied only to the address specied in the table. It is possible to dene up to eight remote accesses. There are the following parameters:

Table 25: LTE Firewall conguraon

ItemDescripon
SourceIP address from which access to the router is allowed
ProtocolSpecies protocol for remote access• all – access is allowed by all• TCP – access is allowed by TCP• UDP – access is allowed by UDP• ICMP – access is allowed by ICMP
Target PortThe port number on which access to the router is allowed
AconType of acon:• allow – access is allowed• deny – access is denied

B&B Electronics RTLTE-324-VZ - LTE FIREWALL CONFIGURATION - 1

Cauon! The rewalls on the 3G and LTE models do not liter trac received over the Ethernet ports.

The following part of the conguraon form denies the forwarding policy. If enabled iterating of forwarded packets item is not checked, packets are automacally accepted. If this item is checked and incoming packet is addressed to another network interface, it will go to the FORWARD chain. In case that the FORWARD chain accepted this packet (there is a rule for its forwarding), it will be sent out. If the forwarding rule does not exist, packet will be dropped.

Then there is a table for dening the rules. It is possible to allow all trac within the selected protocol (rule species only protocol) or create stricter rules by speciying items for source IP address, desnaon IP address and port.

Table 266: LTE Firewall conguraon

ItemDescripon

There is also the possibility to drop a packet whenever request for service which is not in the router comes (check box named Enable Itering of locally desnated packets). The packet is dropped automacally without any informaon.

AUTOMATIC UPDATE CONFIGURATION

The SPECTRE router can be congured to automatically check for rmware updates from an FTP site or a web server and update its rmware or conguraon informaon. Use the Automac update menu to congure the automac update sengs. It is also possible to update the conguraon and rmware through the USB host connector of the router.

If the Enable automac update of conguraon opon is selected, the router will check if there is a conguraon le on the remote server, and if the conguraon in the le is dierent than its current conguraon, it will update its conguraon to the new sengs and reboot. If the Enable automac update of rmware opon is checked, the router will look for a new rmware le and update its rmware if necessary.

Table 679: Automac update conguraon

ItemDescripon
SourceSelect the locaon of the update les:HTTP/FTP server – Remote le server.USB ash drive - Router will check for rmware or conguraon les in the root directory of the connected USB device.Both – Router will check for new rmware or conguraon les in both places.
Base URLBase URL or IP address from which the conguraon le will be downloaded.
Unit IDName of conguraon. If the Unit ID of the router is not lled in, then the MAC address of the router will be used as the default le name. (The delimiter in a MAC address is a colon instead of a dot.)
Update HourAutomac conguraon update starts 5 minutes aer turning on the router and then every 24 hours at the Update Hour.

The conguraon file name is from parameter Base URL, hardware MAC address of ETH0 interface and cfg extension. Hardware MAC address and cfg extension are added to the le name automacally and it isn't necessary to enter them. When using parameter Unit ID, the hardware MAC address in the name will not be used.

The rmware le name is named parameter Base URL, type of router and bin extension.

It is necessary to load both les (.bin and .ver) to the HTTP/FTP server. If only the .bin le is uploaded and the HTTP server sends the incorrect answer of 200 OK (instead of expected 404 Not Found) when the device tries to download the nonexistent .ver le, then there is a risk that the router will download the .bin le over and over again.

The following examples check for new rmware or conguraons each day at 1:00 a.m. An example is given for the SPECTRE 3G router.
