Function
M4G951 is a router used between TCP/IP connected controllers and a wireless, mobile 4G/GPRS network. The router has a built in DHCP function and can handle multiple external units. The router can be used as a WiFi hotspot. It is, however, recommended to turn off the WiFi or protect the network with a secure password in order to limit data usage. M4G951 has built in dynamic DNS which makes the router easy to find over the internet. The Port Forward software makes it easy to find and connect to the different units in the application. The router is not locked to any network provider. It is recommended to choose a network provider where you can get SIM cards with a fixed rate or sufficient data traffic since data usage can vary between applications.

2. Push the SIM ejection tool into the small hole to open each SIM card slot.
3. Install one or two SIM cards, gently push each SIM card holder to close it.
4. Attach the mobile to the MOBILE connections and the WiFi antennas to the WIFI connections on the back of the router.

• The bootloader menu is a recovery tool if the router cannot be accessed after a factory reset. It can be used to update firmware or bootloader version. Go to Troubleshooting & Recovery for more information.

Connection status LED

The connection status LED (Figure 1, position 10) displays the connection state and network type.

Signal strength LEDs

The signal strength LEDs (Figure 1, position 9) reflect the current signal strength. The more LEDs that are lit, the stronger the signal.  The signal strength LEDs can also be used as a time indicator when you press and hold the reset button on the back of the router.

Configuration

When the router is installed, it needs to be configured for a mobile network. Connect to the router and log in. Then follow the System Setup Wizard or make the necessary changes at will.

Connection

1. Connect wirelessly to the unit or use an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN Ethernet ports.
   Note! The WiFi SSID and password can be found on the bottom of the router. You can also scan the QR code at the bottom of the router for easy wireless connection.

2. Make sure that dynamic IP-address is activated on the computer (see Network settings)

Logging in
To continue with the setup, you need to log in to the router.

1. Open a web browser and write the router’s IP-address (192.168.1.1) in the address field.
2. Use the default username and password printed on the bottom of the router to log in.

Note! The first time you log in, you are prompted to change the de-fault password.

System Setup Wizard
To quickly get your M4G951 up and running, follow the system setup wizard after logging in.

1. Go to System > Setup Wizard.
2. Follow the setup wizard to configure the router.
3. Click [Finish].

SIM cards
If you set up the router manually, you need to configure any installed SIM card for the mobile network to function.

1. Go to Network > Mobile > General
2. Select a PIN code if you use a protected SIM card. The PIN is the same as on the SIM card.
3. Make any necessary settings changes.
4. Click [Save and apply].
5. Go to Status > Overview and verify that the mobile type fields are filled in.

Note! The easiest way of changing the APN (Access Point Name) man-ually is via the Setup Wizard.
