Configure your computer (Windows)

1. Ensure the Wireless network connection is Enabled. Go to Start — Control Panel — Network and Internet — Network and Sharing Center. Click on the Change adapter settings in the left panel, then right-click on Wireless Network Adapter, and select Enable.
   

2. Check if IP and DNS are obtained automatically. Right-click on Wireless Network Adapter and select Properties. Then select Internet Protocol Version 4 and click Properties.

3. If not selected, check to obtain an IP address and obtain DNS server address automatically. Click OK.
   

4. Connect to a wireless network by right-clicking on Wireless Network Adapter and selecting Connect.
   

5. Choose the wireless network RUTX50 **** from the list and click Connect. Enter the WiFi password located on the device’s label.
   

Login to device

1. To enter the router’s Web interface (WebUI), type http://192.168.1.1 into the URL field of your Internet browser.
2. When prompted for authentication enter the username admin and enter the password located on the device information label/engraving.
3. After logging in, you must set a new password for security reasons. You will not be able to interact with the router’s WebUI until the default password is changed. The new password must consist of a minimum of 8 characters. Requirements: one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one digit.
4. Next, the Configuration Wizard will start to help you set up some of the router’s main operational parameters (see page 7).
5. Finally, let’s verify the Mobile signal strength. Go to the Status — Network page and pay attention to the Signal Strength indication.
   
   

To achieve the best signal conditions and maximize cellular performance, try adjusting the antennas or changing the location of your device.

Router Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard is a tool that offers a simplified version of other WebUI pages used to set some of the most relevant device parameters: Time / LAN / WAN / WiFi / RMS

You will be greeted with the Setup Wizard the first time you login, after you have changed the device default password. On other logins you will be redirected to the Overview page, but you can reach the Setup Wizard any time via the System > Setup Wizard page.

This page is an overview of the Setup Wizard tool.

General

The General section is used to configure the device’s time, language and WebUI mode settings.

LAN

The LAN section is used to configure the device’s local area network (LAN) and DHCP server settings. A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server can automatically configure the TCP/IP settings for any device that requests such a service. If you connect a device that has been configured to obtain an IP address automatically, the DHCP server will lease out an IP address from the available IP pool and the device will be able to communicate within the device’s private network.

Mobile

The Mobile section is used to configure the device’s SIM card parameters.

between a GSM, GPRS, 3G or 4G mobile network and another computer network. Depending on the contract, some operators may require you to enter the APN just to complete the registration to a network. In other cases an APN is used to get special parameters from the operator (e.g., a public IP address) depending on the contract. Auto APN scans an internal Android APN database and selects an APN based on the SIM card’s operator and country. If the first automatically selected APN doesn’t work, it attempts to use the next existing APN from the database.
PIN| string; default: none| A 4-digit long numeric password used to authenticate the modem to the SIM card.

WiFi

The WiFi section is used to configure the device’s WiFi Access Points (APs). The router supports two types of WiFi: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. 2.4 GHz WiFi provides better coverage and works at a longer range, but has lower data transfer speeds when compared to 5 GHz WiFi.

RMS

This section is used to configure the settings required to connect the device to the RMS (Remote Management System) – a cloud system designed by Teltonika and intended for remote monitoring and management of Teltonika Networks products.

WAN setting

To set the WAN select Network > WAN from the main Menu.

The NETWORK INFTERFACES window lets you determine how the router will be connecting to the internet. You can chose between three types of WAN: Mobile, Wired and Wireless. You can also setup backup WAN options in case your main connection goes down (see next chapter “Failover”).

Failover

To set the WAN s elect   Network > Failover from the main Menu.

The Failover function allows you to backup your primary WAN connection in case it goes down.

In order to set priorities, simply press left mouse click on the interface, then drag it to the 1st, 2nd or other position and then press Save & Apply.

You can drag & drop an interface in order to change its position on the list. Interfaces that are higher on the list have a higher priority than the ones that are lower, i.e., the device will always use the WAN interface with the highest priority as long as it is available. If it goes down, the device will start using the interface with the second highest priority and so on.

Take note that changing an interface’s position in the list here also changes its position in the following pages:

Network > Interfaces
Network > WAN

Table of typical WAN configurations depending on the system setup

Scan for available networks

The Wireless section of the Network tab can be used to manage and configure WiFi Access Points and WiFi Stations (clients) . If you’re having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device’s WebUI, you should turn on “Advanced WebUI” mode. You can do that by clicking the “Basic” button under “Mode”, which is located at the top-right corner of the WebUI.

1. Enter the router’s Web interface (WebUI).
2. Go to the Network > Wirelss page and click the Scan button to scan the surrounding area as shown in picture below.
   

After which you will be redirected to the window shown below, where you will see list of available WiFi Access Points in the area. Choose one according to your liking and press the Join Network button next to it.

You again will be redirected to following window, where you will need to enter WPA passphrase or other security password depending on AP that you are connecting to, name yours network (it will be name of your wireless WAN interface) and assign firewall rule.

Next window that opens will be Device Configuration. Values there, mostly, should be left unchanged to avoid connection problems, because they are dictated by Access Point. Other than that, only difference from Access Point settings are in Interface Configuration > General Setup section, where Mode is set to Client, and Network attached to this wireless interface is WAN instead of LAN.

Click Save & Apply and if you configured correctly, you will have Wireless Client working.

Reset to factory settings

A factory reset restores the device to its default factory settings, i.e. it deletes all custom configurations. Below you will find various methods to perform a factory reset on the router.

1. Reset button: the reset button is located on the back panel of the device.
   

The reset button has two main functions.

• Restart the device. If the reset button is pressed for up to 4 seconds, the device will restart. The start of the reboot will be indicated by all 5 signal strength LEDs flashing along with the green connection status LED.
• Restore factory settings. If the reset button is pressed for at least 5 seconds (default), the device will perform a factory reset and reboot. The signal strength LEDs indicate the elapsed time while the reset button is held down. When all 5 LEDs are on, it indicates that 5 seconds have elapsed and the reset button can be released. The beginning of the factory reset will be indicated by all 5 flashing along with a red connection status LED.
