3.0 Router Description

3.1 Description

The SPECTRE Cellular industrial router is used to wirelessly connect Ethernet equipment and other devices to the Internet or intranet. Thanks to the high data transfer speed of up to 100 Mbit/s download (LTE models) and 50 Mbit/s upload (LTE models), it is an ideal wireless solution for traffic and security camera systems, individual computers, LAN networks, automatic teller machines (ATM) and other self-service terminals.

The standard configuration includes one 10/100 Ethernet port, one USB Host port, one binary Input/output (I/O) port and dual SIM card holders. Network redundancy is provided by the second SIM card holder. It also contains 2 auxiliary ports for connecting to other types of networks such as RS-232, RS-485/422, Digital/Analog I/O, or they can be configured to provide additional switched Ethernet ports. The function of each port is dependent upon the specific router model.

Configuration of the router may be done via a password-protected Web interface. The router supports the creation of VPN tunnels using IPsec, OpenVPN and L2TP to ensure safe communication. The Web interface provides detailed statistics about the router's activities, signal strength, etc. The router supports DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, control by SMS, and many other functions.

The router provides diagnostic functions which include automatically monitoring the PPP connection, automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hardware watchdog that monitors the router status. The user may insert Linux scripts to control various router functions and create up to four different configurations for the same router. These configuration files can include different SMS functionality and binary input configurations. You may switch between different configurations whenever necessary. The router can automatically upgrade its configuration and firmware from your central server. This allows for mass reconfiguration of numerous routers at the same time. Additional software like SmartCluster VPN Server and R-SeeNet for router monitoring are also supported.

Table 12: Connection of power connector

Fig. 8: Power connector

The router requires a +10 V to +30 V DC supply. Protection against reversed polarity is built into the router.

The power consumption during receiving is 1W. The peak power consumption during data sending is 5.5W. For correct operation, the power source must be able to supply a peak current of 600mA.

The power cable connects to the router via locking screws. (See Fig. 21)

The positive VCC input is marked by a red socket on the power.

5.4 Antenna Connector

The two large cellular antennas are connected to the router using the standard SMA antenna connectors on the front panel. The main cellular antenna connection is labeled ANT. The router cannot operate without a main antenna. The receive diversity antenna connection is labeled DIV. This antenna improves the receive sensitivity of the router and should be used in areas with weak signal strength.

On SPECTRE Cellular routers with Wi-Fi, a third antenna is connected to the AUX antenna connector on the front panel.

The AUX connector on the Wi-Fi units is a reverse-polarity SMA connector and should only be used with the smaller Wi-Fi antenna. Do not attempt to connect the cellular antennas to this connector as it can damage the connector and the antennas.

Example of antenna:

5.7.2 RS-485/422 Ports

The RS-485/422 ports can be powered using the internal 3.3V supply or by connecting an external power supply to the port connector. External or internal power is selected by jumpers J2 and J3 on the RS-485 module daughter board. To use internal power, place jumpers J2 and J3 across pins 2 and 3. To select external power, jumpers J2 and J3 must be on pins 1 and 2.

Interface behavior of module Expansion port RS485/RS422 can be made by wiring Jumpers J4, J5 and J6 on the RS-485 module select the mode of the port – either RS-485 or RS-422 mode. If RS485 is required, jumpers J4 and J5 must be connected and jumper J6 disconnected. If RS422 is required, jumpers J4 and J5 must be disconnected and jumper J6 connected.

Jumper placement can be seen in the picture below (RS-485 module is viewed from the top).

Internal power supply should only be used in the event that it is not possible to provide an external power supply.

5.7.3 I/O Port

The I/O port user interface (CNT) is used to monitor analog and binary input signals and to control binary output signals. The interface has 6 inputs and 1 output. Two of the inputs can be configured as binary counter inputs or general purpose binary inputs. There are also 2 dedicated binary inputs, 2 analog current inputs, and 1 open-collector output. The options for the I/O port are configured by writing to register values on the I/O board using the MODBUS ASCII protocol.

The unit can periodically store the values of the inputs in memory. These log entries can be read by reading the individual memory locations. Up to 224 log entries may be stored. The logging interval can range from 1-65535 minutes.

5.7.3.1 Analog Inputs

The analog current inputs have a range from 0 to 20mA. The input impedance is 100 Ω and the ADC resolution is 12 bits. The averaging and sampling period may be adjusted by the user. Also, alarms thresholds may be set for each input.

The ADC value stored in memory is calculated using the following equation:

$$ \text { ADC Value } = ((1 2 b \text { value } + \text { addit. constant }) * \text { multiplic. constant }) / 1 0 0 0 $$

where the constants are programmed into memory by the user.

5.7.3.2 Binary Input

The binary input is sampled 8x per second with a sampling period of 1/64 seconds. The active level for each binary input may be set to either a logic 0 or logic 1. The inputs may be configured to generate an alarm when they become active. The input threshold for detecting a logic 1 can be set at either 8uA or 20mA using a jumper on the module board.

5.7.3.3 Counter Input

The counter inputs have a maximum input frequency of 100 Hz. The minimum input pulse width is 1ms. The counter input may be configured to generate an alarm when a threshold is reached.

5.7.3.4 Binary Output

The binary output is a transistor with an open collector output. In the inactive state (logic 0) the transistor is off. In the active state (log. 1), the transistor is on and will connect the output signal to ground (GND). The output transistor is rated at 100 mA and 30V.

The output may be configured to generate a pulse from 125 to 8000ms in length. It is also possible to configure the unit so that the output will become active when counter 1 (CNT1) reaches a threshold.

5.7.3.5 Selecting the Binary Input Current

The input threshold for detecting a logic 1 can be set at either 8uA or 20mA using a jumper on the module board. When jumper J4 is shorted, the threshold current level is 20 mA. When jumper J4 is not shorted, the threshold current level is 8μA. A threshold current value of 20mA has a higher resistance to noise on the input but also dissipates more power.

Fig. 32: Connection of the I/O Port circuitry

The I/O Port registers are read and written using MODBUS ASCII slave protocol over serial port 1. Using this protocol, it is possible to configure the I/O board, read the input status, and control the output. The I/O port communicates at 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (8N1).

6.0 Resetting or Rebooting the Router

It is important to distinguish between resetting and rebooting the router.

Action	Router behavior	Actions
Reboot	Turn off and then turn on router	Disconnect and connect the power.
		Press therebootbutton in the Web configuration.
Reset	Restore the factory default configuration and reboot the router.	Press RST button.

Table 21: Ways to reset or restart the router

After the green LED starts to blink you may restore the router's initial settings by pressing button RST on front panel. The router will restore its factory default configuration and reboot (The green LED will be on).

To reset, use a narrow screwdriver. (See Fig. 37)

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with a cylindrical rod inserted into a rectangular housing (no text or symbols)

Fig. 39: Router reset

We recommend backing up your router configuration before resetting. (See the separate configuration manual). A router reset will erase your configuration and return the router to its default settings.

7.0 First Use

Before you can set up the router you will need to make all of the necessary connections. The router cannot operate without a connected antenna, SIM card (for UMTS networks), and a power supply.

Operating the router without an antenna can damage the router.

7.1 Starting the router

Connect power to the router. In the default setting the router will start to login automatically to the preset APN. The Ethernet port DHCP server will assign device addresses. The behavior of the router can be modified by means of the Web or Telnet interface, as described in the configuration manual.

The power consumption during receiving is 2W. The peak power consumption during data sending is 5.5 W. For correct operation the power source must be able to supply a peak current of 600mA.

7.2 Configuring the router

Attention! The cellular carrier and network must be configured in the router prior to use. For UMTS and LTE networks, the router will not operate without a SIM card. The SIM card must be provisioned for the necessary network (LTE/HSPA+/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS). For 3G CDMA networks, the router is provisioned over-the-air. Refer to the Configuration manual for details on configuring the router based on the cellular carrier and network.

Configuration over Web browser

Monitoring of the status, configuration and administration of the router can be done via the Web interface. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1. The username is "root". The password is "root".

A detailed description of configuring the router via the Web interface can be found in the configuration manual

8.0 Troubleshooting

8.1 FAQ

Q. I have NAT enabled. My equipment is not connecting to the network

- The device's gateway has to be configured as the router.

Q. The router resets itself and the Ethernet connection fails.

- The router will not function without an antenna. Keep the antenna as far as possible from the power supply.

Q. I can't access the Web server over NAT.

- The remote http access of the router has to be disabled, the default server address has to be your web server and the gateway of the web server has to be the IP of the router.

Q. PPP connection fails. (DAT LED off)

- Check signal power. If signal power is weak you will need a better antenna. If the neighboring cells have a similar signal strength, you will need to use a directional antenna. For proper operation, the signal levels have to be in the range from -50dBm to -90dBm. It is necessary to set ping, which will check the connection and, in the case of failed ping, restart the connection.

Q. PPP connection cannot be established. (DAT LED off)

• Recheck GPRS settings - APN, name, password and IP address.
• Try to enter PIN – verify if the SIM card has the PIN code set.
  • In a private APN, switch the DNS server send off.
• Switch the system log on and observe where the error occurs.

Q. FTP doesn't function.

- Router doesn't support active FTP mode. It supports passive mode only.

Q. RS-232 doesn't function.

- Verify that the router supports RS-232 communications. Also verify the RS-232 communication settings. To do so, open the router's configuration menu via the web browser, select the appropriate expansion port and verify the settings in the configuration menu.

Q. L2TP or IPSec isn't establishing.

Check the system log for error messages.

Q. I switched the router to offline mode by SMS message, but the router is in online mode after restart.

- SMS messages do not change the router configuration. They remain in effect only until the router is restarted.
