Firmware upgrade| USB interface is used for batch firmware upgrading, but cannot be used for sending or receiving data from slave devices which connected to it. You can insert a USB storage device into the router’s USB interface, such as a U disk or a hard disk. If there have a supported configuration file or a router firmware in this USB storage device, the router will automatically update the configuration file or the firmware. For more details, please refer to RT123_SM_RobustOS Software Manual.

Hardware Installation

SIM Card Installation. Remove the SIM card cover to insert the SIM cards into the device, then screw up the cover.
Antenna Installation. Rotate the antenna into the antenna connector accordingly. Here take the cellular antenna as example. For 5G 4-IN-1 combo antenna, LHM# cable need to be connected to ANT1 and ANT2 while the MH# cable need to be connected to ANT0 and ANT3. GPS function is available when using the 4 in 1 combo antenna.
Terminal Block Installation. Insert the 2x5PIN terminal blocks into the interfaces connector, then can connect the devices or sensors to the gateway via corresponding interfaces e.g. RS232/RS485, DIDO…
Mounting Kit installation.
Grounding the Device. Grounding will help to prevent the noise effect due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Connect the device to the site ground wire by the grounding screw before powering on.
Power Supply installation. Insert the power supply cord into the corresponding terminal block if needed, then insert the terminal block into the power connector.
Connect the router to the computer. Connect the Ethernet cable to any port labeled ETH0 to ETH3 on the bottom of the router, and connect the other end of the cable to your computer.

Connect the router’s Ethernet port to a PC with a standard Ethernet cable.
Before logging in, manually configure the PC with a static IP address on the same subnet as the gateway address, click and configure “Use the following IP address”.
To enter the gateway’s web interface, type http://192.168.0.1 into the URL field of your Internet browser.
Use login information shown in the product label when prompted for authentication.
After logging in, the home page of the web interface is displayed, then you can view system information and perform configuration on the device.
The automatic APN selection is ON by default, if need to specify your own APN, please go to the menu Interface->Link Manager->Link Setting->WWAN Settings to finish the specific setting.
The more configuration details please refer to RT123_SM_RobustOS Software Manual.
