Introduction

STEP 1 With the weBBoat® 4G PRO EVO switched off, place the two Mini-SIM card (not supplied) into the SIM card trays on the back of the case. IMPORTANT: We recommend to remove the SIM PIN code before inserting the SIM card into the weBBoat® SIM slot.

STEP 2 Connect the weBBoat® 4G PRO EVO to a 12 or 24 Vdc source.

IMPORTANT: This unit is not protected against excessive current or short circuit. It is recommended to use a 1 amp fuse for protection purposes during installation.

STEP 3 Connect your PC to the weBBoat® 4G PRO EVO using a ethernet cable (not supplied) or connect your PC to the weBBoat® 4G PRO EVO WiFi network. The default WiFi network name (SSID) is weBBoat_XXXX (where XXXX is a unique string for each weBBoat® 4G PRO EVO) and it’s not password protected.

NOTE: It is advised after initial setup to create a password (minimum 8 characters) to secure the weBBoat® 4G PRO EVO network. (see STEP 6).

STEP 4 Connect to the weBBoat® webUI by typing http://192.168.81.1 on your browser and enter the following access data User: admin Password: 12345678

SETUP WIZARD

STEP 5 SETUP WIZARD The configuration wizard provides a simple way of quickly configuring the device in order to bring it up to basic functionality. The wizard is comprised out of 4 steps and they are as follows: Step A (General change) First, the wizard prompts you to change the default password. Simply enter the same password into both Password and Confirmation fields, select time zone and press Save. (Fig. 3) Step B (Mobile Configuration) Next we have to enter your mobile configuration. On a detailed instruction on how this should be done see the Mobile section under Network (Fig. 4).

To unblock the SIM card, enter the PIN code (if necessary). AUTO APN: By default, the “Auto APN” option, which allows automatic connection, is selected (Fig. 4). To enter an APN manually, deselect the “Auto APN” option and a dropdown menu will be shown with a list of possible APNs. By selecting the value “none” from this list, it will be possible to manually enter a custom APN.

NOTE: Check the correct APN with the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the SIM card. If the APN you need is not included in the default list, please contact us at webboat@glomex. it. Step C (LAN) Next, you are given the chance to configure your LAN and DHCP server options. For a detailed explanation see LAN under Network (Fig. 5). Step D (Wi-Fi) The final step allows you to configure your wireless settings in order to set up a rudimentary Access Point (Fig 6). When you’re done with the configuration wizard, press Save.

ADMINISTRATION

STEP 6 ADMINISTRATION In the administration settings (Fig. 7), section “General” you can configure your weBBoat® 4G PRO EVO:

1. Router name = Enter your new router name.
2. Host name = Enter your new host name.
3. New Password =Enter your new administration password. Changing this password will change SSH password as well.
4. Confirm new password = Re-enter your new administration password.
5. Language = Website will be translated into selected language.
6. IPv6 support = Enable IPv6 support on router
7. Show mobile info at login page = Show operator and signal strength at login page.
8. Show WAN IP at login page = Show WAN IP at login page.
9. Restore to default = Router will be set to factory default settings.

IMPORTANT: The only way to gain access to the web management if you forget the administrator password is to reset the device factory default settings. Default administrator login settings are= User: admin Password: 12345678

OPERATION MODES

STEP 7 OPERATION MODES The weBBoat® 4G PRO EVO supports various operation modes. It can be connected to the internet (WAN) via mobile, standard Ethernet cable (Internet Satellite) or via a wireless network.

When connecting to the internet, you may also backup your main WAN connection with one or two backup connections. Any interface can act like backup if configured so. At first router uses its main WAN connection, if it is lost then router tries to connect via backup with higher priority and if that fails too, router tries the second backup option.

STATUS OVERVIEW

STEP 8 STATUS OVERVIEW The status section contains various pieces of information, like current IP addresses of various network interfaces; the state of the routers memory; firmware version; DHCP leases; associated wireless stations; graphs indicating load, traffic and much more. The overview section contains various information summaries (Fig. 8). The system information tab contains data that pertains to the routers operating system.

NETWORK

STEP 9 NETWORK In the Network section you can configure your weBBoat® 4G PRO EVO using different modes. Mobile configuration Here you can configure mobile settings which are used when connecting to the 3G/4G network (Fig. 9):

1. Connection type (Sample value: QMI) = The connection type used when connecting to a network. It can either be PPP or QMI. PPP is considerably slower than QMI.
2. Mode (Sample value: NAT/Passthrough) = NAT mode enables network address translation on router. Passthrough mode is similar with bridge mode except that in passthrough mode router do have internet connection.
3. APN (Sample value: “bangapro”) = Access Point Name (APN) is a configurable network identifier used by a mobile device when connecting to a GSM carrier.
4. PIN number ((Sample value: any number that falls between 0000 and 9999) = A personal identification number is a secret numeric password shared between a user and a system that can be used to authenticate the user to the system. Use this only if your SIM card has PIN enabled.
5. Dialing number = Dialing number is used to establish a mobile PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) connection.
6. Authentication method (Sample value: CHAP, PAP or none) = Authentication method, which your carrier uses to authenticate new connections. (This selection is unavailable on the alternate model)
7. Username (Sample value: “username”) = Your username that you would use to connect to your carrier’s network. This field becomes available when you select an authentication method (i.e. authentication method is not “none”).
8. Password (Sample value: “password”) = Your password that you would use to connect to your carrier’s network. This field becomes available when you select an authentication method (i.e. authentication method is not “none”).
9. Service mode (Sample value: 2G only, 3G only, 4G only or automatic) = Your network preference. If your local mobile network supports 2G, 3G and 4G you can specify to which network you wish to connect, e.g.: if you choose 2G only, the router will connect only to a 2G network. If you select auto, then the router will connect to the network that provides better connectivity.
10. Deny data roaming (Sample value: Enable/Disable) = If enabled this function prevents the device from establishing mobile data connection while not in home network.
11. Use IPv4 only (Sample value: Enable/Disable) = If enabled this function makes the device to use only IPv4 settings when connecting to operator.
12. You can select the active SIM by clicking on the SIM Management and on Primary SIM card (fig. 10). The SIM change operation take about 15 seconds to be completed.
    

WARNING: If an invalid PIN number was entered (i.e. the entered PIN does not match the one that was used to protect the SIM card), your SIM card will get blocked.

To avoid such mishaps it is highly advised to use an unprotected SIM.  If you happen to insert a protected SIM and the PIN number is incorrect, your card won’t get blocked immediately, although after a couple of reboots OR configuration saves it will.

LAN configuration

This page is used to configure the LAN network, where all your devices and computers that you connect to the router will reside (Fig. 11):

1. IP address (Sample value: 192.168.1.1) = Address that the router uses on the LAN network.
2. IP netmask (Sample value: 255.255.255.0) = A mask used to define how “large” the LAN network is.
3. IP broadcast = IP broadcasts are used by BOOTP and DHCP clients to find and send requests to their respective servers.

Wireless configuration

On this page you can configure your wireless settings. Depending on whether your WAN mode is set to Wi-Fi or not, the page will display either the options for configuring an Access Point or options for configuring a connection to a local access point (Fig. 12) : Here you can see the Overview of the wireless configuration. It is divided into two main sections – device and interface. One is dedicated to configuring hardware parameters, the other – software. Here you can toggle the availability of the wireless radio and the physical channel frequency.

IMPORTANT: As seen in the picture you should always Save before toggling the radio on and off. SSID – Your wireless network’s identification string. This is the name of your Wi-Fi network. When other Wi-Fi capable computers or devices scan the area for Wi-Fi networks they will see your network with this name. Hide SSID – Will render your SSID hidden from other devices that try to scan the area. Connect to WRP100 automatically – let WRP100 wireless repeater connect to this router automatically.

WAN configuration

Your WAN configuration determines how the router will be connecting to the internet:

1. Main WAN = Switches between Mobile, Wired and Wi-Fi interfaces for main WAN.
2. Backup WAN/Load balancing = Let’s user select one or two interfaces for WAN backup.
3. Interface Name = Displays the WAN interface name, and changes interface priority. The interface at the table top has the highest priority.
4. Protocol = Displays the protocol used by the WAN interface.
5. IP Address = Displays IP address acquired by a specific interface.
6. Sort = Sorts table rows and changes interface priority. The highest interface has the highest priority.

INTERFACE – SECURITY

STEP 10 INTERFACE – SECURITY Encryption – there are many modes of encryption, a distinctive class is pointed out below (Fig. 13). First select an encryption method: TKIP, CCMP, TKIP&CCMP and auto.

NOTE: Some authentication methods won’t support TKIP (and TKIP&CCMP) encryption. After you’ve selected your encryption method, you should enter your pass phrase, which must be at least 8 characters long.

STEP 11 In the “SMS Management” section you can manage your SMS: Read SMS In this page, you can read and delete received/stored SMS (Fig.14). Send SMS In this page, you can send SMS (Fig. 14). The recipients phone number should be preceded with the country code. Storage With storage option, you can choose NOT to delete SMS from SIM card. If this option is not used, weBBoat® 4G PRO EVO will automatically delete all incoming messages after they have been read. Message status “read/unread” is examined every 60 seconds. All “read” messages are deleted.

STEP 12 To restore the device press the “Reboot” button (Fig. 15). When the weBBoat® 4G PRO EVO reboots, it will reset all custom changes to factory defaults.
