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).

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.
­ Always keep a distance of more than 40 cm from the antenna in order to reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields below the legal limits.
­ 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). The maximum allowed gain is 3dBi in the relevant frequency range. 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
­ 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 soient 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.

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 NB2800 is designed for mounting it on a worktop or wall (Only suitable for mounting at heights smaller equal 2 m), https://www.netmodule.com/support/downloads/drawings 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 NB2800 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 (3FF)
Up to four Micro-SIM cards (3FF) can be inserted in a NB2800 router. A SIM card as a multi-format card, so-called 3-in-1 card (All-in-One SIM or Triple- SIM) with the format 2FF, 3FF and 4FF are not supported. 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 bootup) 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 and so on. Further information about SIM configuration can be found in chapter 5.3.3.
Attention: After a SIM Switch the SIM Cover of the NB2800 router has to be mounted again and screwed to get IP40 protection class.

4.2. Installation of the Cellular Antennas
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.

NB2800

40

User Manual for NRSW version 4.8.0.102

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 following table shows how to connect the cellular antennas. 4G-LTE antennas require both the main and auxiliary ports to be connected. 5G requires 4 Antennas per module.

Table 4.3.: WLAN antenna port types

Attention: When installing the antenna be sure to observe chapter 2

4.4. 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

4.5. Installation of the Local Area Network
Up to two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet devices can be directly connected to the router, further devices can be attached via an addtional Ethernet switch. Please ensure that the connector has been plugged in properly to ETH and remains in a fixed state, you might otherwise experience sporadical 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.

NB2800

User Manual for NRSW version 4.8.0.102

4.6. Installation of the Power Supply & Delayed Power Off
The router can be powered with an external source supplying between 12 VDC and 48 VDC. It is to 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. When no “delayed power off” is required, connect the supply voltage to both IGN and V+ pin. When using the “delayed power off” function, the V+ is connected directly to the battery circuit and IGN is connected to the ignition circuit of the vehicle. Using this feature, the router powers off a defined time (SW configurable) after the vehicle is turned off, instead of an immediate shut down.
Attention: Following points must be observed: ­ 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.
4.7. 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 ETH 1 (Gigabit Ethernet) port of the router using a shielded CAT6 cable with RJ45 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

NB2800

46

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 or by pressing the reset button. The latter would require a slim needle or paper clip which must be inserted into the holeto the right of the SIM 4 slot. The button must be hold pressed for up to 5 seconds until all LEDs flash up.
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
4th 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.

NB2800

52

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.

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

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

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.

User Manual for NRSW version 4.8.0.102

Prior to setting up an access point, it is always a good idea to run a network scan for getting a list of neighboring WLAN networks and then choose the less interfering channel. Please note that two adequate channels are required for getting good throughputs with 802.11n and a bandwidth of 40 MHz.
WLAN Configuration Running in client mode, it is possible to connect to one ore more remote access-points. The system will switch to the next network in the list in case one goes down and return to the highest-prioritized network as soon as it comes back. You can perform a WLAN network scan and pick the settings from the discovered information directly. The authentication credentials have to be obtained by the operator of the remote access point.

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.

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

GNSS Server Configuration
The TCP port on which the daemon is listening for incoming connections

NB2800

95

User Manual for NRSW version 4.8.0.102

Parameter Allow clients from

GNSS Server Configuration
Specifies where clients can connect from, can be either everywhere or from a specific network
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.
