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).
NB2810
11
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.
2.2. Declaration of Conformity
NetModule hereby declares that under our own responsibility that the routers
comply with the relevant standards following the provisions of the RED
Directive 2014/53/EU. The signed version of the Declaration of Conformity can

Installation
The NB2810 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 NB2810 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 NB2810 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 NB2810 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 Keep in mind that effects
caused by Faraday
NB2810
41
User Manual for NRSW version 4.8.0.102
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.

4.3. Installation of the WLAN Antennas
The following table shows how to connect the WLAN antennas. The number of
attached antennas can be configured in the software. If only one antenna is
used, it must be attached to the main port. However, for better diversity and
thus better throughput and coverage, we highly recommend using two antennas.

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.
NB2810
44
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 ETH1 (Gigabit Ethernet)
port of the router using a shielded CAT6 cable with 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
NB2810
47
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.

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.
NB2810

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.

NB2810 routers ship with 2 dedicated Gigabit Ethernet ports (ETH1 and ETH2)
and an additional extension port which can be linked via M12 connectors. ETH1
usually forms the LAN1 interface which should be used for LAN purposes. Other
interfaces can be used to connect other LAN segments or for configuring a WAN
link. The LAN10 interface will be available as soon as a pre-configured USB
Ethernet device has been plugged in.

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

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

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.

If the administrative status is set to disabled, the module will be powered
off in order to reduce the overall power consumption. Regarding antennas, we
generally recommend using two antennas for better coverage and throughput. A
second antenna is definitely mandatory if you want to achieve higher
throughput rates as in 802.11n. A WLAN client and a mesh point will
automatically became a WAN link and can be managed as described in chapter
5.3.1.

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.
The serial port will be reserved for SDK scripts.

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.
