ADVANTECH V2 Routers Start Guide

Safety Instructions

Please take care to following instructions:

Use the router in compliance with national and international law and in compliance with any special or additional restrictions regulating the use of the router in various applications and environments.
To avoid possible injury and/or damage to the device, observe the relevant provisions and standards. Use only the original accessories as recommended. Unauthorized device or accessory modiﬁcation, or using accessories that have not been approved can result in router damage and/or violation of the regulations.
Unauthorized device or accessory modiﬁcation or using the accessories that have not been approved can result in warranty termination.
Do not open the router.
Caution! The SIM card can be swallowed by small children.
When connecting the device to a power supply do not exceed the deﬁned voltage.
Do not expose the router to extreme ambient conditions. Protect the router against dust, moisture, and high temperature.
It is recommended that you do not use the router at petrol ﬁlling stations. We recommend observing local restrictions concerning the use of radio-based devices while working with explosive material for example, at petrol ﬁlling stations, or in chemical plants.
While using the router close to personal medical devices, such as cardiac pacemakers or hearing aids, proceed with heightened caution.
Operating the router too close to TV sets, radio receivers, personal computers, or telephones can cause interference.
It is recommended that you create a copy or backup of the important settings stored in the memory of the router.

Product Disposal Instructions
The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment: 2012/19/EU) directive has been introduced to ensure that electrical/electronic products are recycled using the best available recovery techniques to minimize the impact on the environment. This product contains high-quality materials and components which can be recycled. At the end of its life, this product MUST NOT be mixed with other commercial waste for disposal. Check with the terms and conditions of your supplier for disposal information.

Open Source Software License
The software in this device uses various pieces of open-source software governed by the following licenses:

GPL versions 2 and 3
LGPL version 2
BSD-style licenses
MIT-style licenses

The list of components together with complete license texts can be found on the device itself. See Licenses link at the bottom of the router’s main Web page (General Status) or point your browser to this address (replace the DEVICE_IP string with real router’s IP address): http://DEVICE_IP/licenses.cgi This is a written offer valid for 3 years since the device purchase offering any third party for a charge no more than the cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine- readable copy of the corresponding source code on a ﬂash drive medium. If you are interested in obtaining the source, please contact us at: cellularsales @advantech-bb.com

Modiﬁcations and debugging of LGPL-linked executables:
The manufacturer of the device hereby grants the right to use debugging techniques (e.g. decompilation) and make customers modiﬁcations of any executable linked with an LGPL library for their own purposes.
Note these rights are limited to the customer’s own usage. No further distribution of such modiﬁed executables and no transmission of the information obtained during these actions may be done.

First Use

Before applying power to the router, connect the components that you required for your applications. You cannot operate the router without a connected antenna, inserted SIM card, nor a connected power supply.

If you do not have connected the main antenna during the operation of the router, the router can be damaged!

XR5i v2 routers are not equipped with a cellular module, which means that SIM card readers and antenna connectors are not available on the router.

Antenna
Use an SMA connector to connect the antennas to the router. The main antenna is connected to the router by screwing on the ANT connector (see the ﬁgure below). The second diversity antenna can also be connected to the DIV connector to improve performance.
SIM Card
The SIM card reader, for 3 V and 1.8 V SIM cards, is located on the front panel of the router. The full version of the router contains two readers. If you intend to use this device to communicate over a cellular network, please place an activated data-provisioned SIM card with an unblocked PIN into the SIM card reader. Insert your SIM card into the SIM1 or SIM2 holder and push it to the reader (see the ﬁgure below).
Before handling the SIM card disconnect the router from the power supply!
Power
The router requires an external DC power supply. The DC voltage required is between +10 to +30 V DC. The router has built-in protection against reverse polarity without signaling. Connect the power supply cable to the PWR connector on the front panel of the router (see the ﬁgure below) and tighten the locking screws.
Ethernet
An Ethernet cable may be connected to the ETH connector on the front panel (see the ﬁgure above). By default, this Ethernet port is conﬁgured as follows:

Connector	Purpose	Default Setting
ETH	LAN port (default)

Connect your laptop or PC to this port to
get a local web server for device conﬁguration and diagnostics.| DHCP Server
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
NetMask: 255.255.255.0

If the router is equipped with any expansion port, connect the appropriate cable to the port PORT1 or PORT2. The pin assignments for expansion ports are described in the manual for the corresponding expansion port.

Conﬁguration

Conﬁguring the Device Using the Web Browser
You can access the router for status monitoring, conﬁguration, and administration after entering the IP address of the router into the web interface. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1 (netmask 255.255.255.0). Conﬁguration access is allowed for the user “root”. The default password is printed on the router’s label. For a detailed description and examples of the router conﬁgurations, see the Conﬁguration Manual.
Conﬁguring the Device Using the SSH or Telnet
Device management can be done by accessing the device through the Secure Shell (SSH) or the Telnet protocol. The default IP address of the device is 192.168.1.1. Standard TCP ports are used, 22 for the SSH and 23 for the Telnet. Please note, that access is permitted for users of the admin role only and that the Telnet protocol is disabled by default. For a detailed description of SSH and Telnet conﬁguration, see the Conﬁguration Manual.
1 If the router’s label does not contain a unique password, use the password “root”.
Conﬁguration Settings via WebAccess/DMP
Your router has been pre-installed with the WebAccess/DMP client. If you enable it in the router’s web interface, you may conﬁgure the router from WebAccess/DMP. Navigate your browser to: https://www.wadmp.com
If this is your ﬁrst time, please self-sign-up with the site. If not, please log in with your username and password. Once logged in, further assistance can be found here: https://docs.wadmp.com
Restoring and Backing up the Router Conﬁguration
After you reset the router, the current conﬁguration is overwritten by the default settings. We recommend that you back up the router conﬁguration before resetting the device. Refer to the Conﬁguration Manual for more information.
When the PWR LED starts blinking, it is possible to restore the default conﬁguration of the router by pressing the RST button on the front panel. After pressing this button, the default conﬁguration is restored, and then the router reboots (green LED will be on).
Important Notes

After logging on to the device for the ﬁrst time, we strongly recommend changing the default password due to security reasons. Simultaneously, you will gain access to all functions of the router.

For security reasons, it is highly recommended to update the ﬁrmware of the router to the latest version regularly. Downgrading the ﬁrmware to an older version than the production version or uploading a ﬁrmware intended for a different device may cause the malfunction of the device.
