Conformity
This chapter provides general information for putting the router into
operation.
2.1. Safety Instructions
Please carefully observe all safety instructions in the manual that are marked
with the symbol .
Compliance information: The NetModule routers must be used in compliance with
any and all applicable national and international laws and with any special
restrictions regulating the utilization of the communication module in
prescribed applications and environments.
Information about the accessories / changes to the device: Please only use
original accessories to prevent injuries and health risks. Changes made to
the device or the use of non-authorized accessories will render the
warranty null and void and potentially invalidate the operating license.
NetModule routers must not be opened (SIM cards may be used according to the
instructions).
NB1800

User Manual for NRSW version 4.8.0.102
Information about the device interfaces: All systems that are connected to
the NetModule router interfaces must meet the
requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) systems.
Interconnections must not leave the building nor penetrate the body shell of
a vehicle.
Connections for antennas may only exit the building or the vehicle hull if
transient overvoltages (according to IEC 62368-1) are limited by external
protection circuits down to 1 500 Vpeak. All other connections must remain
within the building or the vehicle hull.
Installed antennas must always be at least 40 cm away from people.
All antennas must have a distance of at least 20cm from each other; in the
case of combined antennas (mobile radio / WLAN / GNSS), there must be
sufficient isolation between the radio technologies.
Devices with a WLAN interface may be operated only with applicable
Regulatory Domain configured. Special attention must be paid to country,
number of antennas and the antenna gain (see also chapter 5.3.4). WLAN
antennas with a higher amplification may be used with the NetModule router
“Enhanced-RF-Configuration” software license and the antenna gain and cable
attenuation that have been correctly configured by certified specialized
personnel. A misconfiguration will lead to loss of the approval.
The maximum gain of an antenna (incl. the attenuation of the connection
cables) must not exceed the following values in the corresponding frequency
range:
Mobile radio (600MHz .. 1GHz) < 3.2dBi,
Mobile radio (1.7GHz .. 2GHz) < 6.0dBi
Mobile radio (2.5GHz .. 4.2GHz) < 6.0dBi
WiFi (2.4GHz .. 2.5GHz) < 3.2dBi, WiFi (5.1GHz .. 5.9GHz) < 4.5dBi
Note that GNSS signals can be obfuscated or blocked by malicious third-party
devices.
Only CE-compliant power supplies with a current-limited SELV output voltage
range may be used with the NetModule routers.
A Power Source Class 3 (PS3) power supply (with 100 W or more) shall only be
used under the condition that a cable strain relief on the power cable to the
router is applied. Such a cable strain relief ensures that the wires on the
router screw terminal connector are not disconnected (e.g. if under an error
condition, the router would be tangling on the cable). The cable strain relief
must withstand a pulling force of 30 N (for router weight up to 1 kg) applied
to the cable of the router.
Une alimentation de classe 3 (PS3) (100 W ou plus) ne doit etre utilisee que
si le cable d alimentation du routeur est equipe d un dispositif anti-
traction. A condition qu une decharge de traction soit appliquee au cable d
alimentation du routeur. Une telle decharge de traction permet de s assurer
que les fils du connecteur a vis du routeur ne sient pas deconnectes (par
exemple si, en cas d erreur, le routeur s emmale dans le cable). La decharge
de traction du cable doit resister a une force de traction de 30N (pour un
routeur d un poids inferieur ou egal a 1 kg) appliquee au cable du routeur.

General safety instructions: Observe the usage limitations of radio units at
filling stations, in chemical plants, in
systems with explosives or potentially explosive locations. The devices may
not be used in airplanes. Exercise particular caution near personal medical
aids, such as pacemakers and hear-
ing aids. The NetModule routers may also cause interference in the nearer
distance of TV sets,
radio receivers and personal computers. Never perform work on the antenna
system during a thunderstorm. The devices are generally designed for normal
indoor use. Do not expose the devices
to extraordinary environmental conditions worse than IP40. Protect them
against aggressive chemical atmospheres and humidity or temperatures
outside specifications. We highly recommended creating a copy of a working
system configuration. It can be
easily applied to a newer software release afterwards.

Installation
The NB1800is designed for mounting on a DIN rail. Additional mounting holes
allow the user to change DIN rail adapter orientation 90° rotated vs. default
position. Please consider the safety instructions in chapter 2 and the
environmental conditions in chapter 3.3.
The following precautions must be taken before installing a NB1800 router:
Avoid direct solar radiation Protect the device from humidity, steam and
aggressive fluids Guarantee sufficient circulation of air around the device
The device is for indoor use only
Attention: NetModule routers are not intended for the end consumer market. The
device must be installed and commissioned by a certified expert.
4.1. Installation of Micro-SIM Cards
Up to two Micro-SIM cards can be inserted in a NB1800 router. SIM cards can be
inserted by sliding it into one of the designated slots on the front panel.
You have to push the SIM card using a small paper clip (or similar) until it
snaps into place. To remove the SIM, you will need to push it again in the
same manner. The SIM card will then rebounce and can be pulled out. SIMs can
be assigned flexibly to any modem in the system. It is also possible to switch
a SIM to a different modem during operation, for instance if you want to use
another provider upon a certain condition. However, a SIM switch usually takes
about 10-20 seconds which can be bypassed (e.g. at boot-up) if SIMs are
installed reasonably. Using only a single SIM with one modem, it should be
preferably placed into the SIM 1 holder. For systems which should operate two
modems with two SIMs in parallel, we recommend to assign MOB 1 to SIM 1, MOB 2
to SIM 2. Further information about SIM configuration can be found in chapter
5.3.3.
Attention: After a SIM Switch the SIM Cover of the NB1800 router has to be
mounted again and screwed to get IP40 protection class.

4.2. Installation of the microSD
Up to one card can be inserted in a NB1800 router. This card is accessed using
SPI mode. Therefore the card has to support SPI mode. Following cards will
work:
SanDisk Kingston Swissbit Transcend
4.3. Installation of the Cellular Antenna
For a reliable function of the NetModule router via the mobile network, the
NetModule routers require a good signal. Use suitable remote antennas with
extended cables to achieve an optimal location with a sufficient signal and to
maintain the distances to other antennas (at least 20cm to each other). The
antenna manufacturer’s instructions must be observed. Keep in mind that
effects caused by Faraday cages such as large metal surfaces (elevators,
machine housings, etc.), close meshed iron constructions and others may reduce
signal reception significantly. The mounted antennas or antenna cables should
be fixed with a wrench. The following table shows how to connect the cellular
antennas. 4G-LTE antennas require both the main and auxiliary ports to be
connected.
Antenna Port MOB 1 A1 MOB 1 A2 MOB 2 A3 MOB 2 A4
Type Main Auxiliary Main Auxiliary
Table 4.1.: Cellular antenna port types
5G requires 4 antennas per module (antenna ports A1-A4). See example in table

User Manual for NRSW version 4.8.0.102
4.5. Installation of the GNSS Antenna
The GNSS antenna must be mounted to the connector GNSS. Whether the antenna is
an active or passive GNSS antenna has to be configured in the software. We
recommend active GNSS antennas for highly accurate GNSS tracking.
Attention: When installing the antenna be sure to observe chapter 2
4.6. Installation of the Local Area Network
Up to two 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet devices can be directly connected to the
router, further devices can be attached via an additional Ethernet switch.
Please ensure that the connector has been plugged in properly to ETH and
remains in a fixed state, you might otherwise experience sporadic link loss
during operation. The Link/Act LED will lit up as soon as the device has
synced. If not, it might be necessary to configure a different link setting as
described in chapter 5.3.2. By default, the router is configured as a DHCP
server and has the IP address 192.168.1.1.
Attention: Only a shielded Ethernet cable may be used.
4.7. Installation of the SFP Module
The NB1800 router provides one SFP port. Please ensure that the SFP module has
been plugged in properly to SFP and remains in a fixed state.
Attention: Only laser module class 1 are allowed.
4.8. Installation of the Power Supply
The router can be powered with an external source supplying between 12 VDC and
48 VDC. It must be used with a certified (CE or equivalent) power supply,
which must have a limited and SELV circuit output. The router is now ready for
getting engaged.
NB1800
35
User Manual for NRSW version 4.8.0.102
Attention: Following points must be observed: Power supply wires attached to
PWR Inputs (V+ and VGND) must be able to withstand
up to 8A current without heating up significantly or damaging its isolation.
Only CE-compliant power supplies with a current-limited SELV output voltage
range
may be used with the NetModule routers. A Power Source Class 3 (PS3) power
supply (with 100 W or more) shall only be used
under the condition that a cable strain relief on the power cable to the
router is applied. Such a cable strain relief ensures that the wires on the
router screw terminal connector are not disconnected (e.g. if under an error
condition, the router would be tangling on the cable). The cable strain relief
must withstand a pulling force of 30 N (for router weight up to 1 kg) applied
to the cable of the router. Une alimentation de classe 3 (PS3) (100 W ou
plus) ne doit etre utilisee que si le cable d alimentation du routeur est
equipe d un dispositif anti-traction. A condition qu une decharge de traction
soit appliquee au cable d alimentation du routeur. Une telle decharge de
traction permet de s assurer que les fils du connecteur a vis du routeur ne
sient pas deconnectes (par exemple si, en cas d erreur, le routeur s emmale
dans le cable). La decharge de traction du cable doit resister a une force de
traction de 30 N (pour un routeur d un poids inferieur ou egal a 1 kg)
appliquee au cable du routeur.
4.9. Installation of the Audio Interface
The audio interface (line out) is available on the PTT (Option Ap) and the
Audio (Option A) extension.
Attention: Risk of hearing damage: Avoid the use of earphones or Headphones at
high volumes or over one longer period.

Configuration
The following chapters provide information on setting up the router and
configuring its functions as provided with system software 4.8.0.102.
NetModule provides regularly updated router software with new functions, bug
fixes and closed vulnerabilities. Please keep your router software up to date.
ftp://share.netmodule.com/router/public/system-software/
5.1. First Steps
NetModule routers can be easily set up by using the HTTP-based configuration
interface, called the Web Manager. It is supported by the latest web browsers.
Please ensure to have JavaScript turned on. Any submitted configuration via
the Web Manager will be applied immediately to the system when pressing the
Apply button. When configuring subsystems which require multiple steps (for
instance WLAN) you can use the Continue button to store any settings
temporarily and apply them at a later time. Please note that those settings
will be neglected at logout unless applied. You may also upload configuration
files via SNMP, SSH, HTTP or USB in case you intend to deploy a larger numbers
of routers. Advanced users may also use the Command Line Interface (CLI) and
set configuration parameters directly. The IP address of Ethernet 1 is
192.168.1.1 and DHCP is activated on the interface by default. The following
steps need to be taken to establish your first Web Manager session:
1. Connect the Ethernet port of your computer to the Ethernet 1
(FastEthernet) port of the router using a shielded CAT5 cable with RJ45 (or
M12) connector.
2. If not yet activated, enable DHCP on your computer’s Ethernet interface so
that an IP address can be obtained automatically from the router. This usually
takes a short amount of time until your PC has received the corresponding
parameters (IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, name server). You may
track the progress by having a look to your network control panel and check
whether your PC has correctly retrieved an IP address of the range
192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199.
3. Launch your favorite web browser and point it to the IP address of the
router (the URL is http://192.168.1.1).
4. Please follow the instructions of the Web Manager for configuring the
router. Most of the menus are self-explanatory, further details are given in
the following chapters.
5.1.1. Initial Access
In factory state you will be prompted for a new administrator password. Please
choose a password which is both, easy to remember but also robust against
dictionary attacks (such as one that contains numbers, letters and punctuation
characters). The password shall have a minimum length of 6 characters. It
shall contain a minimum of 2 numbers and 2 letters.

Figure 5.1.: Initial Login
Please note that the admin password will be also applied for the root user
which can be used to access the device via the serial console, Telnet, SSH or
to enter the bootloader. You may also configure additional users which will
only be granted to access the summary page or retrieve status information but
not to set any configuration parameters. A set of services (USB Autorun, CLI-
PHP) are by default activated in factory state and will be disabled as soon as
the admin password has been set. They can be enabled again afterwards in the
relevant sections. Other services (SSH, Telnet, Console) can be accessed in
factory state by providing an empty or no password. The passphrase which is
used to store and access generated and uploaded private keys is initialized to
a random value. It can be changed as described in chapter 5.8.8.
5.1.2. Automatic Mobile Data Connection
If you put a SIM with disabled PIN into the first SIM slot and select
‘Configure automatic mobile data connection’ the router will try to select
matching credentials from a database of known providers and
NB1800
38
User Manual for NRSW version 4.8.0.102
esteblish a mobile data connection automatically. This feature is highly
dependent on the SIM card features and the available networks. This Option is
only availble if the router is equipped with a cellular module.
5.1.3. Recovery
Following actions might be taken in case the router has been misconfigured and
cannot be reached anymore:
1. Factory Reset: You can initiate a reset back to factory settings via the
Web Manager, by running the command factory-reset
2. Serial Console Login: It is also possible to log into the system via the
serial port. This requires a terminal emulator (such as PuTTY or
HyperTerminal) and an RS232 connection (115200 8N1) attached to the serial
port of your local computer. You will also see the kernel messages at bootup
there.
3. Recovery Image: In severe cases we can provide a recovery image on demand
which can be loaded into RAM via TFTP and executed. It offers a minimal system
image for running a software update or doing other modifications. You will be
provided with two files, recovery-image and recovery-dtb, which must be placed
in the root directory of a TFTP server (connected via LAN1 and address
192.168.1.254). The recovery image can be launched from the bootloader using a
serial connection. You will have to stop the boot process by pressing s and
enter the bootloader. You can then issue run recovery to load the image and
start the system which can be accessed via HTTP/SSH/Telnet and its IP address
192.168.1.1 afterwards. This procedure can be also initiated by holding the
factory reset button longer than 15 seconds.

WAN Link Management
In case a WAN link goes down, the system will automatically switch over to the
next link in order of priority. A link can be either established when the
switch occurs or permanently to minimize link downtime. Outgoing traffic can
also be distributed over multiple links on a per IP session basis.

The menu can be used further to prioritize your WAN links. The highest
priority link which has been established successfully will become the so-
called hotlink which holds the default route for outgoing packets.
In case a link goes down, the system will automatically switch over to the
next link in the priority list. You can configure each link to be either
established when the switch occurs or permanently in order to minimize link
downtime.
Parameter 1st priority 2nd priority
3rd priority

WAN Link Priorities
The primary link which will be used whenever possible.
The first fallback link, it can be enabled permanently or being dialed as soon
as Link 1 goes down.
The second fallback link, it can be enabled permanently or being dialed as
soon as Link 2 goes down.
The third fallback link, it can be enabled permanently or being dialed as soon
as Link 3 goes down.
Links are being triggered periodically and put to sleep in case it was not
possible to establish them within a certain amount of time. Hence it might
happen that permanent links will be dialed in background and replace links
with lower priority again as soon as they got established. In case of
interfering links sharing the same resources (for instance in dual-SIM
operation) you may define a switch-back interval after which an active hotlink
is forced to go down in order to let the higher-prio link getting dialed
again.
We recommend to use the permanent operation mode for WAN links in general.
However, in case of time-limited mobile tariffs for instance, the switchover
mode might be applicable. By using the distributed mode, it is possible to
distribute outgoing traffic over multiple WAN links based on their weight
ratio.
NB1800
44
User Manual for NRSW version 4.8.0.102
Attention: You can have concurrent WWAN links which share a common resource like one WWAN module using SIM cards of different providers. In that case it would not be possible to find out if the link with the higher priority is available without putting down the low priority link. Therefore, such a link will behave like a switchover, even if configured as permanent.
For mobile links, it is further possible to pass through the WAN address towards a local host (also called Drop-In or IP Pass-through). In particular, the first DHCP client will receive the public IP address. More or less, the system acts like a modem in such case which can be helpful in case of firewall issues. Once established, the Web Manager can be reached over port 8080 using the WAN address but still over the LAN1 interface using port 80.

WAN Settings
This page can be used to configure WAN specific settings like the Maximum
Segment Size (MSS). The MSS corresponds to the largest amount of data (in
bytes) that the router can handle in a single, unfragmented TCP segment. In
order to avoid any negative side effects, the number of bytes in the data
segment and the headers must not add up to more than the number of bytes in
the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU). The MTU can be configured per each
interface and corresponds to the largest packet size that can be transmitted.

VLAN Management
NetModule routers support Virtual LAN according to IEEE 802.1Q which can be
used to create virtual interfaces on top of an Ethernet interface. The VLAN
protocol inserts an additional header to Ethernet frames carrying a VLAN
Identifier (VLAN ID) which is used for distributing the packets to the
associated virtual interface. Any untagged packets, as well as packets with an
unassigned ID, will be distributed to the native interface.

modem and successfully unlocked, the card should remain in state ready and the
network registration status should have turned to registered. If
NB1800

not, please double-check your PIN. Please keep in mind that registering to a network usually takes some time and depends on signal strength and possible radio interferences. You may hit the Update button at any time in order to restart PIN unlocking and trigger another network registration attempt. Under some circumstances (e.g. in case the modem flaps between base stations) it might be necessary to set a specific service type or assign a fixed operator. The list of operators around can be obtained by initiating a network scan (may take up to 60 seconds). Further details can be retrieved by querying the modem directly, a set of suitable commands can be provided on request.

A SIM card is generally assigned to a default modem but might be switched, for
instance if you set up two WWAN interfaces with one modem but different SIM
cards. Close attention has to be paid when other services (such as SMS or
Voice) are operating on that modem, as a SIM switch will naturally affect
their operation. The following settings can be applied:
Parameter PIN code PUK code Default modem Preferred service

WWAN SIM Configuration
The PIN code for unlocking the SIM card
The PUK code for unlocking the SIM card (optional)
The default modem assigned to this SIM card
The preferred service to be used with this SIM card. Remember that the link
manager might change this in case of different settings. The default is to use
automatic, in areas with interfering base stations you can force a specific
type (e.g. 3G-only) in order to prevent any flapping between the stations
around.

Figure 5.14.: eSIM Profiles
Selected router models contain an eUICC (embedded universal integrated circuit
card) which allows you to download eSIM profiles from the internet to the
router instead of having to insert a physical SIM card into the router. The
eSIM profiles to be installed must be compliant to the GSMA RSP Technical
Specification SGP.22. These are the same eSIM profiles that are used with
current mobile phones. Profiles according to the older GSMA SGP.02
specification are not supported. eSIM profiles can be managed on the “eSIM
Profiles” tab of the “Mobile / SIMs” configuration page. The management page
allows you to display all installed eSIM profiles as well as to install,
enable, disable and delete eSIM profiles. It is also possible to store a
nickname for each profile. The eUICC can store up to about 7 eSIM profiles
depending on the size of the profiles. Only one of those profiles can be
active at a time. In order to install new eSIM profiles, you need to first
establish IP connectivity to the internet so that
NB1800

Figure 5.15.: Add eUICC Profile
The following two ways are supported to install eSIM profiles and can be
selected on the eSIM profiles configuration page:
1. QR code provided by the network operator To download the eSIM profile
using this method your mobile network operator provides you a QR code which
contains the information about the eSIM profile to be installed. If the device
you are using to access the configuration GUI of the router has a camera, you
can scan the QR code using the camera. Otherwise you can also upload an image
file of the QR code. Or it is also possible to enter the contents of the QR
code manually into the corresponding input field.
2. GSMA Root Discovery Service When using this method, you need to provide
the EID, which is a unique number that identifies the eUICC of the router, to
your mobile network operator. The EID is displayed on the eSIM profiles
configuration page. The operator will then prepare the eSIM profile for your
router on his provisioning servers. Afterwards, you can use the GSMA Root
Discovery Service method to retrieve the eSIM

profile without having to specify any additional information for the download. Note: Most mobile network operators allow only one download of an eSIM profile. So, if you download the profile once and delete it afterwards, you will not be able to download the same profile a second time. In this case you would need to request a new eSIM profile from your operator.

5.3.4. WLAN
WLAN Management In case your router is shipping with a WLAN (or Wi-Fi) module
you can operate it either as client, access point, mesh point or certain dual
modes. As a client it can create an additional WAN link which for instance can
be used as backup link. As access point, it can form another LAN interface
which can be either bridged to an Ethernet-based LAN interface or create a
self-contained IP interface which can be used for routing and to provide
services (such as DHCP/DNS/NTP) in the same way like an Ethernet LAN interface
does. As mesh point, it can create a wireless mesh network to provide a
backhaul connectivity with dynamic path selection. As dual mode, it is
possible to run access point and client or mesh point and access point
functionality on the same radio module.

The corresponding DHCP server for each network can be configured in afterwards as described in chapter 5.7.2.

Serial Port Usage
The serial port is not used
The serial port is used to open a console which can be accessed with a serial
terminal client from the other side. It will provide helpful bootup and kernel
messages and spawns a login shell, so that users can login to the system. If
more than one serial interface is available, one serial interface can be
configured as ‘login console’ at a time.
The serial port will be exposed over a TCP/IP port and can be used to
implement a Serial/IP gateway.
Bridges the serial interface to the Modem TTY of an intergrated WWAN Modem.
Emulates a classical AT command driven modem on the serial interface. See
http://wiki.netmodule.com/app-notes/hayes-modemat-simulator for detailed
information.
The serial port will be reserved for SDK scripts.

5.3.8. GNSS
Configuration
The GNSS page lets you enable or disable the GNSS modules present in the
system and can be used to configure the daemon that can be used to share
access to receivers without contention or loss of data and to respond to
queries with a format that is substantially easier to parse than the NMEA 0183
emitted directly by the GNSS device.
We are currently running the Berlios GPS daemon (version 3.15), supporting the
new JSON format. Please navigate to http://www.catb.org/gpsd/ for getting
more information about how to connect any clients to the daemon remotely. The
position values can also be queried by the CLI and used in SDK scripts.
Parameter Administrative status Operation mode Antenna type Accuracy
Fix frame interval
GNSS Module Configuration
Enable or disable the GNSS module
The mode of operation, either standalone or assisted (for A-GPS)
The type of the connected GPS antenna, either passive or actively 3 volt
powered
The GNSS receiver compares the calculated position accuracy based on the
satellite information and compares it with this accuracy threshold in meters.
If the calculated position accuracy is better than the accuracy threshold, the
position is reported. Adjust this parameter to a higher threshold in case the
GNSS receiver does not report a position fix, or when it takes a long time to
calculate a fix. This could be caused when there is no clear sky view of the
GNSS antenna which is the case in tunnels, beside tall buildings, trees, and
so on.
The amount of time to wait between fix attempts
If the GNSS module does support AssistNow and the operation mode is assisted the following configuration can be done:
Parameter Primary URL Secondary URL
GNSS Assisted GPS Configuration The primary AssistNow URL The secondary AssistNow URL
Information about AssistNow: If you have a lot of devices in the field that use the AssistNow service, please consider creating your own AssistNow token at http://www.u-blox.com. If there are too many requests per time, the service may not work as expected. If you have further questions, please contact our support.
Parameter Server port

Specifies how data transferal is accomplished when a client connects. You can
specify on request which typically requires an R to be sent. Data will be sent
instantly in case of raw mode which will provide NMEA frames or super-raw
which includes the original data of the GPS receiver. If the client supports
the JSON format (i.e. newer libgps is used) the json mode can be specified.
Please consider to restrict access to the server port, either by a specifying a dedicated client network or by using a firewall rule.

This menu shows all routing entries of the system. They are typically formed
by an address/netmask couple (represented in IPv4 dotted decimal notation)
which specify the destination of a packet. The packets can be directed to
either a gateway or an interface or both. If interface is set to ANY, the
system will choose the route interface automatically, depending on the best
matching network configured for an interface.

Figure 5.24.: Static Routing
In general, host routes precede network routes and network routes precede
default routes. Additionally, a metric can be used to determine the priority
of a route, a packet will go in the direction with the lowest metric in case a
destination matches multiple routes. Netmasks can be specified in CIDR
notation (i.e. /24 expands to 255.255.255.0).

The destination address of a packet
The subnet mask which forms, in combination with the destination, the network
to be addressed. A single host can be specified by a netmask of
255.255.255.255, a default route corresponds to 0.0.0.0.
The next hop which operates as gateway for this network (can be omitted on
peer-to-peer links)
The network interface on which a packet will be transmitted in order to reach
the gateway or network behind it
The routing metric of the interface (default 0), higher metrics have the
effect of making a route less favorable
(A)ctive, (P)ersistent, (H)ost Route, (N)etwork Route, (D)efault Route
The flags obtain the following meanings:
Flag
Description
A
The route is considered active, it might be inactive if the interface for this route is not yet
up.
P
The route is persistent, which means it is a configured route, otherwise it corresponds to
an interface route.
H
The route is a host route, typically the netmask is set to 255.255.255.255.
N
The route is a network route, consisting of an address and netmask which forms the
subnet to be addressed.
D
The route is a default route, address and netmask are set to 0.0.0.0, thus matching any
packet.

User Manual for NRSW version 4.8.0.102
5.4.4. Multicast
Multicast distributes IP packets to subscribers in a one-to-many relationship.
The subscribers use multicast messages to subscribe to a MCR group and receive
the data in form of multicast packets. Therefore the messages are sent by the
packet sink to the packet source. Multicast routing (MCR) is used to farward
multicast data from one network to another.
Attention: As multicast is used to send data from one source to several
destinations on the same network it is quite common for testing applications
to set the TTL of multicast packets to 1 to prevent the packets from spilling
into other networks. If you want to route multicast packets (that’s why it is
called MCR) you’ll have to make sure to send your data with a TTL > 1.
Multicast routing can be configured and managed by a daemon. Only one MCR
daemon can be used at a time.
NetModule routers ship with two different MCR daemons to select from depending
on your dependencies:
Parameter IGMP proxy
