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 soluon for trac and security camera systems, individual computers, LAN networks, automac teller machines (ATM) and other self-service terminals.
The standard conguraon 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 connecng to other types of networks such as RS-232, RS-485/422, Digital/Analog I/O, or they can be congured to provide additional switched Ethernet ports. The funcon of each port is dependent upon the specic router model.
Conguraon 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 stascs about the router's advies, signal strength, etc. The router supports DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, control by SMS, and many other funcons.
The router provides diagnosc funcons which include automacally monitoring the PPP conncon, automac restart in case of conncon losses, and a hardware watchdog that monitors the router status. The user may insert Linux scripts to control various router funcons and create up to four dierent conguraons for the same router. These conguraon les can include dierent SMS funconality and binary input conguraons. You may switch between dierent conguraons whenever necessary. The router can automacally upgrade its conguraon and rmware from your central server. This allows for mass reconguraon of numerous routers at the same me.

4.0 MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
• The router may be placed on any at level work surface.
- Clips are included for moung the router to a standard DIN rail.
The router may be installed in an industrial instrument panel.
For best performance, please consider the following guidelines:
- When using the supplied whip antennas, maintain a distance of 6 cm from cables and metal surfaces on every side. When using an external antenna outdoors, lightning protecon should be used.
- When moung the router on a metal surface, an external antenna should be used.
- If the router is installed in a metal instrument enclosure, an external antenna must be used and it must be mounted outside of the metal enclosure.

text_image
60 mm 2.36 inches 60 mm 2.36 inchesFig. 3: Space around antenna
The cables should be ed together and routed away from the antennas to avoid coupling RF noise onto the cables.
• Length: The combinaon of power supply and data cables can be a maximum of 1.5 meters.
- If the length of the data cables exceeds 1.5 meters or if the cable leads towards the switch panel, we recommend installing overvoltage protectors (surge suppressors).
- Do not bundle the data cables with 120/230V power cables.
• All wiring to sensors should use shielded twisted pairs.

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 conncon is labeled ANT. The router cannot operate without a main antenna. The receive diversity antenna conncon 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 aempt 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 connecng 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 congured 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 opons for the I/O port are congured by wring 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 locaons. 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:
$$ \text { ADC Value } = ((1 2 b \text { value } + \text { addit. constant }) * \text { mulplic. constant }) / 1 0 0 0 $$
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 acve level for each binary input may be set to either a logic 0 or logic 1. The inputs may be congured to generate an alarm when they become acve. The input threshold for detectcng 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 congured 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 o. 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 congured to generate a pulse from 125 to 8000ms in length. It is also possible to congure the unit so that the output will become acve when counter 1 (CNT1) reaches a threshold.
5.7.3.5 SELECTING THE BINARY INPUT CURRENT
The input threshold for detectng 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.

6.0 RESETTING OR REBOOTING THE ROUTER
It is important to disnguish between reseng and reboong the router.
| Acon | Router Behavior | Acons |
| Reboot | Turn o and then turn on router | Disconnect and connect the power. |
| Press therebootbuon in the Web conguraon page. | ||
| Reset | Restore the factory default conguraon and reboot the router. | Press RST buon. |
Table 22: Ways to reset or restart the router
Aer the green LED starts to blink you may restore the router's initial setngs by pressing buon RST on front panel. The router will restore its factory default conguraon and reboot (The green LED will be on).
To reset, use a narrow screwdriver. (See Fig. 37)

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with a cylindrical rod inserted into a rectangular housing (no text or symbols)We recommend backing up your router conguraon before reseng. (See the separate conguraon manual). A router reset will erase your conguraon and return the router to its default sengs.
7.0 FIRST USE
Before you can set up the router you will need to make all of the necessary connexons. The router cannot operate without a connected antenna, SIM card (for UMTS networks), and a power supply.
Operang the router without an antenna can damage the router.
7.1 STARTING THE ROUTER
Connect power to the router. In the default seng the router will start to login automacally 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 conguraon manual.
The power consumption during receiving is 2.3W. The peak power consumption during data transmission is 5.5 W. For correct operation the power source must be able to supply a peak current of 1A.
7.2 CONFIGURING THE ROUTER
Aenon! The cellular carrier and network must be congured 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 Conguraon manual for details on conguring the router based on the cellular carrier and network.
Conguraon over Web browser
Monitoring of the status, conguraon and administraon 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 descripon of conguring the router via the Web interface can be found in the conguraon manual
Conguraon over Telnet
Monitoring of status, conguraon and administraon of the router can be performed by means of the Telnet interface. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1. The username is "root". The password is "root".
A detailed descripon of conguring the router via Telnet can be found in the conguraon manual.

8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
8.1 FAQ
Q. I have NAT enabled. My equipment is not connecng to the network
- The device's gateway has to be congured as the router.
Q. The router resets itself and the Ethernet conneccon fails.
- The router will not funcon 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 hp 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 conncon fails. (DAT LED o)
- Check signal power. If signal power is weak you will need a beer antenna. If the neighboring cells have a similar signal strength, you will need to use a direconal antenna. For proper operaon, the signal levels have to be in the range from -50dBm to -90dBm. It is necessary to set ping, which will check the conncon and, in the case of failed ping, restart the conncon.
Q. PPP conncon cannot be established. (DAT LED o)
- Recheck GPRS sengs - 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 o. - Switch the system log on and observe where the error occurs.
Q. FTP doesn't funcon.
- Router doesn't support acve FTP mode. It supports passive mode only.
Q. RS-232 doesn't funcon.
- Verify that the router supports RS-232 communicaons. Also verify the RS-232 communicaon setngs. To do so, open the router's conguraon menu via the web browser, select the appropriate expansion port and verify the sengs in the conguraon menu.
Q. L2TP or IPSec isn't establishing.
- Check the system log for error messages.
Q. I switched the router to oine mode by SMS message, but the router is in online mode aer restart.
- SMS messages do not change the router conguraon. They remain in eect only until the router is restarted.
