1. Access to the Web Configuration

Attention! The cellular router will not operate unless the cellular carrier has been cor-
rectly configured and the account activated and provisioned for data communications.
For UMTS and LTE carriers, a SIM card must be inserted into the router. Do not insert
the SIM card when the router is powered up.
You can monitor the status, configuration and administration of the router via the Web
interface. To access the router over the web interface, enter http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx into the
URL for the browser where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the router IP address. The router’s default IP
address is 192.168.1.1. The default username is root and the default password is root.
When you successfully enter login information on the login page, web interface will be
displayed. The left side of the web interface displays the menu. You will find links for the
Status, Configuration, Customization and Administration of the router.
Name and Location displays the router’s name, location and SNMP configuration (see
3.16.5). These fields are user-defined for each router.

v2 Routers
Figure 1: Example of the Web Configuration

v2 Routers
For enhanced security, you should change the default password. If the router’s default
password is set, the menu item Change password is highlighted in red.
If the green LED is blinking, you may restore the router to its factory default settings by
pressing RST on front panel. The configuration will be restored to the factory defaults and the
router will reboot. (The green LED will be on during the reboot.)
1.1 Secured access to web configuration

The Web interface can be accessed through a standard web browser via a secure HTTPS
connection.
Access the web interface by entering https://192.168.1.1 in the web browser. You may
receive a message that there is a problem with the website’s security certificate. If you do,
click on Continue to this website. If you want to prevent this message, you can follow the
procedure described below.
There is the self-signed HTTPS certificate in the router. If you want to use your own
certificate (e.g. in combination with the dynamic DNS service), you need to replace the
/etc/certs/https_cert and /etc/certs/https_key files in the router.
HTTPS certificate creation in the router was updated since FW 5.3.5 to be more secure.
Existing HTTPS certificates on already manufactured routers will not be automatically
upgraded with the firmware upgrade! You can upgrade HTTPS certificate by deleting
files /etc/certs/https* in the router (e.g. via SSH). The certificates will be re-created auto-
matically during the next router’s start.
If you decide to use the self-signed certificate in the router to prevent the security message
(domain disagreement) from pop up every time you log into the router, you can take the fol-
lowing steps. Note: You will have to use the domain name based on the MAC address of the
router and it is not guaranteed to work with every combination of an operating system and a
browser.
• Add the DNS record to your DNS system: Edit /etc/hosts (Linux/Unix OS) or
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows OS) or configure your own DNS
server. Add a new record with the IP address of your router and the domain name
based of the MAC address of the router (MAC address of the first network interface seen
in Network Status in the Web interface of the router.) Use dash separators instead of
colons. Example: A router with the MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55 will have a domain
name 00-11-22-33-44-55.
• Access the router via the new domain name address (E.g. https://00-11-22-33-44-55).
If you see the security message, add an exception so the next time the message will
not pop up (E.g. in Firefox Web browser). If there is no possibility to add an exception,
export the certificate to the file and import it to your browser or operating system.

2.8 DynDNS Status

The router supports DynamicDNS using a DNS server on www.dyndns.org. If Dynamic
DNS is configured, the status can be displayed by selecting menu option DynDNS. Refer to
www.dyndns.org for more information on how to configure a Dynamic DNS client.
You can use the following servers for the Dynamic DNS service:
• www.dyndns.org
• www.spdns.de
• www.dnsdynamic.org
• www.noip.com
Figure 8: DynDNS Status
When the router detects a DynDNS record update, the dialog displays one or more of the
following messages:
• DynDNS client is disabled.

• Invalid username or password.
• Specified hostname doesn’t exist.
• Invalid hostname format.
• Hostname exists, but not under specified username.
• No update performed yet.
• DynDNS record is already up to date.
• DynDNS record successfully update.
• DNS error encountered.
• DynDNS server failure.
The router’s SIM card must have public IP address assigned or DynDNS will not function
correctly.

v2 Routers
2.9 System Log

If there are any connection problems you may view the system log by selecting the System
Log menu item. Detailed reports from individual applications running in the router will be dis-
played. Use the Save Log button to save the system log to a connected computer. (It will be
saved as a text file with the .log extension.) The Save Report button is used for creating de-
tailed reports. (It will be saved as a text file with the .txt extension. The file will include statistical
data, routing and process tables, system log, and configuration.)
The default length of the system log is 1000 lines. After reaching 1000 lines a new file is
created for storing the system log. After completion of 1000 lines in the second file, the first
file is overwritten with a new file.
The Syslogd program will output the system log. It can be started with two options to modify
its behavior. Option "-S" followed by decimal number sets the maximal number of lines in one
log file. Option "-R" followed by hostname or IP address enables logging to a remote syslog
daemon. (If the remote syslog deamon is Linux OS, there has to be remote logging enabled
(typically running "syslogd -R"). If it’s the Windows OS, there has to be syslog server installed,
e.g. Syslog Watcher). To start syslogd with these options, the "/etc/init.d/syslog" script can
be modified via SSH or lines can be added into Startup Script (accessible in Configuration
section) according to figure 10.

3. Configuration
3.1 LAN Configuration
To enter the Local Area Network configuration, select the LAN menu item in the Configu-
ration section. The Primary LAN subitem is for the router’s main Ethernet interface (ETH). If
the router has additional Ethernet ports (PORT1 or PORT2), they are configured using the
Secondary LAN subitem. For routers with two additional Ethernet ports, PORT1 and PORT2
are automatically bridged together.
Item Description
DHCP Client Enables/disables the DHCP client function.
• disabled – The router does not allow automatic allocation IP ad-

dress from a DHCP server in LAN network.
• enabled – The router allows automatic allocation IP address from
a DHCP server in LAN network.
IP address Specifies a fixed set of IP addresses for the network interfaces ETH.
Subnet Mask Specifies a Subnet Mask for the IP address.
Default Gateway Specifies the IP address of default gateway. When entering the IP
address of default gateway, every packet for which the destination IP
address was not found in the routing table, is sent to this IP address.
DNS server Specifies the IP address of the DNS server. When the IP address is not
found the Routing Table, the router forwards an IP address requests to
the DNS server.
Bridged Activates/deactivates the bridging function on the router.
• no – The bridging function is inactive (default).

• yes – The bridging function is active.
20
v2 Routers
Item Description
Media type Specifies the type of duplex and speed used in the network.
• Auto-negation – The router automatically sets the best speed

and duplex mode of communication according to the network’s
possibilities.
• 100 Mbps Full Duplex – The router communicates at 100Mbps,
in the full duplex mode.
• 100 Mbps Half Duplex – The router communicates at 100Mbps,
in the half duplex mode.
• 10 Mbps Full Duplex – The router communicates at 10Mbps, in
the full duplex mode.
• 10 Mbps Half Duplex – The router communicates at 10Mbps, in
the half duplex mode.
Table 14: Configuration of the Network Interface
The router considers the last address in the network range to be broadcast address,
regardless of the address is set as a broadcast or not. Connection (ping) to the broadcast
address does not work.
The Default Gateway and DNS Server items are only used if the DHCP Client item is set
to disabled and if the Primary or Secondary LAN is selected by the Backup Routes system
as the default route. (The selection algorithm is described in section 3.7). Since FW 5.3.0,
Default Gateway and DNS Server are also supported on bridged interfaces (e.g. eth0 + eth1).
Only one bridge can be active on the router. The Only DHCP Client, IP Address and Subnet
Mask parameters are used to configure the bridge. Primary LAN has higher priority when both
interfaces (eth0, eth1) are added to the bridge. Other interfaces (wlan0 – wifi) can be added to
or deleted from an existing bridge at any time. The bridge can be created on demand for such
interfaces, but not if it is configured by their respective parameters.
The DHCP server assigns the IP address, gateway IP address (IP address of the router)
and IP address of the DNS server (IP address of the router) to the connected clients. If these
values are filled in by the user in the configuration form, they will be preferred.
The DHCP server supports static and dynamic assignment of IP addresses. Dynamic
DHCP assigns clients IP addresses from a defined address space. Static DHCP assigns IP
addresses that correspond to the MAC addresses of connected clients.

3.2 VRRP Configuration

Select the VRRP menu item to enter the VRRP configuration. VRRP protocol (Virtual
Router Redundancy Protocol) allows you to transfer packet routing from the main router to
a backup router in case the main router fails. (This can be used to provide a wireless cellular
backup to a primary wired router in critical applications.) If the Enable VRRP is checked, you
may set the following parameters.
Item Description
Virtual Server IP Address This parameter sets the virtual server IP address. This ad-
dress must be the same for both the primary and backup
routers. Devices on the LAN will use this address as their
default gateway IP address.
Virtual Server ID This parameter distinguishes one virtual router on the net-
work from another. The main and backup routers must use
the same value for this parameter.
Host Priority The active router with highest priority set by the parameter
Host Priority, is the main router. According to RFC 2338, the
main router should have the highest possible priority – 255.
The backup router(s) have a priority in the range 1 – 254
(default value is 100). A priority value of 0 is not allowed.
Table 18: VRRP configuration
You may set the Check connection flag in the second part of the window to enable au-
tomatic test messages for the cellular network. In some cases, the mobile WAN connection
could still be active but the router will not be able to send data over the cellular network. This
feature is used to verify that data can be sent over the PPP connection and supplements
the normal VRRP message handling. The currently active router (main/backup) will send test
messages to the defined Ping IP Address at periodic time intervals (Ping Interval) and wait for
a reply (Ping Timeout). If the router does not receive a response to the Ping command, it will
retry up to the number of times specified by the Ping Probes parameter. After that time, it will
switch itself to a backup router until the PPP connection is restored.
Item Description
Ping IP Address Destinations IP address for the Ping commands. IP Address can
not be specified as a domain name.
Ping Interval Interval in seconds between the outgoing Pings.
Ping Timeout Time in seconds to wait for a response to the Ping.
Ping Probes Maximum number of failed ping requests.
Table 19: Check connection
You may use the DNS server of the mobile carrier as the destination IP address for the test
messages (Pings).
30
v2 Routers
The Enable traffic monitoring option can be used to reduce the number of messages that
are sent to test the PPP connection. When this parameter is set, the router will monitor the
interface for any packets different from a ping. If a response to the packet is received within the
timeout specified by the Ping Timeout parameter, then the router knows that the connection is
still active. If the router does not receive a response within the timeout period, it will attempt to
test the mobile WAN connection using standard Ping commands.

3.3 Mobile WAN Configuration
The XR5i v2 routers do not display the Mobile WAN configuration option.
Select the Mobile WAN item in the Configuration menu section to enter the cellular network
configuration page.
3.3.1 Connection to Mobile Network

If you mark the Create connection to mobile network checkbox, then the router automati-
cally attempts to establish a connection after booting up. You can specify the following param-
eters for each SIM card separately (on FULL version of the router with two SIM card slots), or
to toggle between the APNs on single SIM card, specify two different APNs (BASIC version of
the router with single SIM card slot).
Item Description
APN Network identifier (Access Point Name)
Username User name for logging into the GSM network
Password Password for logging into the GSM network
Authentication Authentication protocol in the GSM network:
• PAP or CHAP – The router selects the authentication method.

• PAP – The router uses the PAP authentication method.
• CHAP – The router uses the CHAP authentication method.
IP Address Specifies the IP address of SIM card. You manually enter the IP ad-
dress, only when mobile network carrier assigned the IP address.
Phone Number Specifies the telephone number the router dials for a GPRS or CSD
connection. The router uses a default telephone number *99***1 #.
Operator Specifies the carrier code. You can specify the parameter as the PLNM
preferred carrier code.
Network type Specifies the type of protocol used in the mobile network.
• Automatic selection – The router automatically selects the trans-

mission method according to the availability of transmission tech-
nology.
• Furthermore, according to the type of router – It’s also possible to
select a specific method of data transmission (GPRS, UMTS, . . . )
33
v2 Routers
Item Description
PIN Specifies the PIN used to unlock the SIM card. Use a PIN parameter
only if the network requires a SIM card router. The SIM card is blocked
after several failed attempts to enter the PIN.
MRU Specifies the Maximum Receive Unit which is the maximum size of a
packet that the router can receive in a given environment. The default
value is 1500 B. Other settings can cause the router to incorrectly trans-
mit data. Minimal value is 128 B.
MTU Specifies the Maximum Transmission Unit which is the maximum size
of a packet that the router can transmit in a given environment. The de-
fault value is 1500 B. Other settings can cause the router to incorrectly
transmit data. Minimal value is 128 B.
Table 20: Mobile WAN Connection Configuration
The following list contains tips for working with the Mobile WAN configuration form:
• If the MTU size is set incorrectly, then the router does not exceed the data transfer. When
you set the MTU value low, more frequent fragmentation of data occurs. More frequent
fragmentation means a higher overhead and also the possibility of packet damage during
defragmentation. On the contrary, a higher MTU value can cause the network to drop
the packet.
• If the IP address field is left blank, when the router establishes a connection, then the
mobile network carrier automatically assigns an IP address. If you assign an IP address,
then the router accesses the network quicker.
• If the APN field is left blank, then the router automatically selects the APN using the IMSI
code of the SIM card. If the PLMN (operator number format) is not in the APN list, then
the router uses the default APN "internet". If AT&T carrier network is detected, "phone"
is used as default APN. The mobile network carrier defines the APN.
• If you enter the word blank in the APN field, then the router interprets the APN as blank.
ATTENTION:
• If the router has only one SIM card slot, it switches between the APN options.
A router with two SIM card slots switches between the SIM cards.
• The correct PIN must be filled in. SIM cards with two APNs will use the same
PIN for both APNs. An incorrect PIN can block the SIM card.
34
v2 Routers
Parameters identified with an asterisk require you to enter the appropriate information only
if this information is required by the mobile network carrier.
When the router is unsuccessful in establishing a connection to mobile network, verify
accuracy of the entered data. Alternatively, you can try a different authentication method or
network type.
3.3.2 DNS Address Configuration

The DNS Settings parameter is designed for easier configuration on the client side. When
you set the value to get from opertor the router attempts to automatically obtain an IP address
from the primary and secondary DNS server of the mobile network carrier. To specify the IP
addresses of the Primary DNS servers manually, from the DNS Server pull down list, select
the value set manually.
3.3.3 Check Connection to Mobile Network Configuration

If the Check Connection item is set to enabled or enabled + bind, it activates checking
the connection to the mobile network. The router will automatically send ping requests to the
specified domain or IP address (Ping IP Address item) at regular time intervals (Ping Interval).
In case of unsuccessful ping, a new one will be sent after ten seconds. If it fails to ping the IP
address three times in a row, the router terminates the current connection and tries to establish
new ones. Checking can be set separately for two SIM cards or two APNs. Send an ICMP to
an IP address that you know is still functional. (The operator’s DNS server, for example.)
If the Check Connection item is set to the enabled option, ping requests are sent on the
basis of routing table. Thus, the requests may be sent through any available interface. If you
require each ping request to be sent through the network interface, which was created when
establishing a connection to the mobile operator, it is necessary to set the Check Connection
item to enabled + bind. The disabled option deactivates checking the connection to the mobile
network.
Item Description
Ping IP Address Specifies the destination IP address or domain name for ping
queries.
Ping Interval Specifies the time intervals between the outgoing pings.
Table 21: Check Connection to Mobile Network Configuration
If you mark the Enable Traffic Monitoring checkbox, then the router stops sending ping
request to the Ping IP Address and it monitors the data stream on the connection to mobile
network. If this connection is without data longer than the Ping Interval, then the router sends
a ping request to the Ping IP Address.
Enabling the Check Connection function for mobile networks is necessary for uninter-
rupted and lasting operation of the router.
35
v2 Routers
3.3.4 Data Limit Configuration
Item Description
Data Limit Specifies the maximum expected amount of data transmitted (sent
and received) over GPRS in one billing period (month). Maximum
value is 2 TB (2097152 MB).
Warning Threshold Specifies the percentage of the "Data Limit" in the range of 50 % to
99 %. If the data limit is exceeded, the router sends an SMS in the
following form Router has exceeded (value of Warning Threshold)
of data limit.
Accounting Start Specifies the day of the month in which the billing cycle starts for
the SIM card used. When the service provider that issued the SIM
card specifies the start billing period, the router begins to count
the amount of transferred data starting on this day.
Table 22: Data Limit Configuration
If the parameter Data Limit State (see below) is set to not applicable or Send SMS when data
limit is exceeded in SMS Configuration is not selected, the Data Limit set here will be ignored.
3.3.5 Switch between SIM Cards Configuration

In the lower part of the configuration form you can specify the rules for toggling between
the two SIM cards.
The router will automatically toggle between the SIM cards and their individual setups depend-
ing on the configuration settings specified here (manual permission, roaming, data limit, binary
input state). Note that the SIM card selected for connection establishment is the result of the
logical product (AND) of the configuration here (table below).
Item Description
SIM Card Enable or disable the use of a SIM card. If you set all the SIM
cards to disabled, this means that the entire cellular module is
disabled.
• enabled – It is possible to use the SIM card.

• disabled – Never use the SIM card, the usage of this SIM
is forbidden.
36
v2 Routers
Item Description
Roaming State Configure the use of SIM cards based on roaming. This roaming
feature has to be activated for the SIM card on which it is enabled!
• not applicable – It is possible to use the SIM card every-

where.
• home network only – Only use the SIM card if roaming is
not detected.
Data Limit State Configure the use of SIM cards based on the Data Limit set
above:
• not applicable – It is possible to use the SIM regardless of

the limit.
• not exceeded – Use the SIM card only if the Data Limit (set
above) has not been exceeded.
BIN0 State Configure the use of SIM cards based on binary input 0 state.
This option is not available on Libratum versions of the routers.
• not applicable – It is possible to use the SIM regardless of

BIN0 state.
• on – Only use the SIM card if the BIN0 state is logical 1 –
voltage present.
• off – Only use the SIM card if the BIN0 state is logical 0 –
no voltage.
Table 23: Switch between SIM cards configuration
Use the following parameters to specify the decision making of SIM card switching in the
cellular module.
Item Description
Default SIM Card Specifies the modules’ default SIM card. The router will attempt
to establish a connection to mobile network using this default.
• 1st – The 1st SIM card is the default.

• 2nd – The 2nd SIM card is the default.
37
v2 Routers
Item Description
Initial State Specifies the action of the cellular module after the SIM card has
been selected.
• online – establish connection to the mobile network after

the SIM card has been selected (default).
• offline – go to the off-line mode after the SIM card has been
selected.
Note: If offline, you can change this initial state by SMS message
only – see SMS Configuration. The cellular module will also go
into off-line mode if none of the SIM cards are not selected.
Switch to other SIM Applicable only when connection is established on the default
card when connec- SIM card and then fails. If the connection failure is detected by
tion fails Check Connection feature above, the router will switch to the
backup SIM card.
Switch to default SIM If enabled, after timeout, the router will attempt to switch back
card after timeout to the default SIM card. This applies only when there is default
SIM card defined and the backup SIM is selected beacuse of a
failure of the default one or if roaming settings cause the switch.
This feature is available only when Switch to other SIM card when
connection fails is enabled.
Initial Timeout Specifies the length of time that the router waits before the first at-
tempt to revert to the default SIM card, the range of this parameter
is from 1 to 10000 minutes.
Subsequent Timeout Specifies the length of time that the router waits after an unsuc-
cessful attempt to revert to the default SIM card, the range is from
1 to 10000 min.
Additive Constant Specifies the length of time that the router waits for any further
attempts to revert to the default SIM card. This length time is the
sum of the time specified in the "Subsequent Timeout" param-
eter and the time specified in this parameter. The range in this
parameter is from 1 to 10000 minutes.
Table 24: Parameters for SIM card switching
38
v2 Routers
Example:
If you mark the Switch to default SIM card after timeout check box, and you enter the following
values:
• Initial Timeout – 60 min,

• Subsequent Timeout – 30 min,
• Additional Timeout – 20 min.
The first attempt to change to the primary SIM card or APN is carried out after 60 minutes.
When the first attempt fails, a second attempt is made after 30 minutes. A third attempt is
made after 50 minutes (30+20). A fourth attempt is made after 70 minutes (30+20+20).
3.3.6 Dial-In access configuration
Dial-In access configuration is supported for these routers only: ER75i, UR5, ER75i v2
and UR5 v2.
You may define access over CSD connection by selecting the Enable Dial-In Access func-
tion. Access can be secured by using the Username and Password. If the router does not have
a connection to a mobile network, you may use this function to gain access to the router via
dial-up connections. The router waits two minutes to accept connections. If no one logs on
during this time the router will make another attempt to establish a GPRS connection.
Item Description
Username User name for secured Dial-In access.
Password Password for secured Dial-In access.
Table 25: Dial-In access configuration
3.3.7 PPPoE Bridge Mode Configuration

If you mark the Enable PPPoE bridge mode check box, the router activates the PPPoE
bridge protocol. PPPoE (point-to-point over ethernet) is a network protocol for encapsulating
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames. The bridge mode allows you to
create a PPPoE connection from a device behind the router. For example, a PC connected to
the ETH port of the router. You assign the IP address of the SIM card to the PC.
The changes in settings will apply after clicking the Apply button.

3.4 PPPoE Configuration

PPPoE (Point-to-Point over Ethernet) is a network protocol which encapsulates PPPoE
frames into Ethernet frames. The router uses the PPPoE client to connect to devices support-
ing a PPPoE bridge or server. The bridge or server is typically an ADSL router.
To open the PPPoE Configuration page, select the PPPoE menu item. If you mark the
Create PPPoE connection check box, then the router attempts to establish a PPPoE connec-
tion after boot up. After connecting, the router obtains the IP address of the device to which
it is connected. The communications from a device behind the PPPoE server is forwarded to
the router.
Item Description
Username Username for secure access to PPPoE
Password Password for secure access to PPPoE
Authentication Authentication protocol in GSM network
• PAP or CHAP – The router selects the authentication method.

• PAP – The router uses the PAP authentication method.
• CHAP – The router uses the CHAP authentication method.
MRU Specifies the Maximum Receiving Unit. The MRU identifies the max-
imum packet size, that the router can receive in a given environ-
ment. The default value is 1492 bytes. Other settings can cause in-
correct data transmission.
MTU Specifies the Maximum Transmission Unit. The MTU identifies the
maximum packet size, that the router can transfer in a given envi-
ronment. The default value is 1492 bytes. Other settings can cause
incorrect data transmission.

following properties listed in the table below.
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) networking protocol that provides cen-
tralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management for users is sup-
ported on WiFi. The router can be RADIUS client only (not the server) – typically as a WiFi
AP (Access Point) negotiating with the RADIUS server. In WiFi STA (Station) operating mode
the authentication method EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1) is supported
only.
Item Description
Operating mode WiFi operating mode:
• access point (AP) – The router becomes an access point to

which other devices in station (STA) mode can connect.

Item Description
Client Isolation In access point (AP) mode only. If checked, the access point will
isolate every connected client so they do not see each other (they
are in different networks, they cannot PING between each other). If
unchecked, the access point behavior is like a switch, but wireless
– the clients are in the same LAN and can see each other.
Country Code Code of the country where the router is installed. This code must be
entered in ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 format. If a country code isn’t speci-
fied and the router has not implemented a system to determine this
code, it will use "US" as the default country code.
If no country code is specified or if the wrong country code is en-
tered, the router may violate country-specific regulations for the use
of WiFi frequency bands.
HW Mode HW mode of WiFi standard that will be supported by WiFi access
point.

Item Description
Enable backup The default route is selected according to the settings below. If dis-
routes switching abled (unchecked), the backup routes system operates in the back-
ward compatibility mode based on the default priorities of the network
interfaces (listed below).
Mode • Single WAN – The default mode. Only one interface is used for
WAN communication at a time. Other interfaces are used for
WAN when the preferred interface fails, based on the priorities
set.
• Multiple WANs – Multiple interfaces can be used for WAN con-
nection. When WAN communication via multiple interfaces is
received, the same interface is used in reply, therefor; the traf-
fic will stay on the given interface. The set priorities are used
when transmitting data from the router or from the network be-
hind the router. The highest priority interface is used for these
transmissions.

Network interfaces belonging to individual backup routes are also checked before use for
flags which indicate the state of the interface. (E.g. RUNNING on the Network Status page.)
This prevents, for example, the disconnection of an Ethernet cable. Any changes made to
settings will be applied after pressing the Apply button.
Default Priorities for Backup Routes: If the Enable backup routes switching check box is
unchecked, the backup routes system will operate in the backward compatibility mode. The
router selects the route based on the default priorities of the enabled settings for each of
the network interfaces, enabling appropriate services that comply with these network inter-
faces. The following list contains the names of backup routes and corresponding network
interfaces in order of default priorities:
• Mobile WAN (pppX, usbX)

• PPPoE (ppp0)
• WiFi STA (wlan0)
• Secondary LAN (eth1)
• Primary LAN (eth0)
Example: The router selects the Secondary LAN as the default route only if you unmark the
Create connection to mobile network check box on the Mobile WAN page. Alternatively, if you
unmark the Create PPPoE connection check box on the PPPoE page. To select the Primary
LAN, delete the IP address for the Secondary LAN and disabled the DHCP Client for the
Secondary LAN.
Note: Consider there is a concept of variable WAN and LAN interfaces even if the Backup
Routes are not enabled. The situation may occur, that LAN intended interface becomes WAN
interface (because of specified or default priorities). Communication from WAN interface to
LAN interface can then be blocked depending on the NAT and Firewall Configuration.

3.8 Static Routes

Static routes can be specified on the Static Routes configuration page. A static route
provide fixed routing path through the network. It is manually configured on the router and
must be updated if the network topology was changed recently. Static routes are private
routers unless they are redistributed by a routing protocol. Static routes configuration form is
shown on figure 27.
Figure 27: Static Routes Configuration
The description of all items is listed in table 32.
Item Description
Enable IPv4 (IPv6) If checked, static routing functionality is enabled. Active are only
static routes routes enabled by the checkbox in the first column of the table.
Destination Network The destination IP address of the remote network or host to which
you want to assign a static route.
Mask or Prefix The subnet mask of the remote network or host IP address.
Length
Gateway IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between
the router and the remote network or host.
Metric Metric definition, means number rating of the priority for the route
in the routing table. Routes with lower metrics have higher priority.
Interface Select an interface the remote network or host is on.

3.9 Firewall Configuration

The first security element which incoming packets pass is a check of the enabled source
IP addresses and destination ports. You can specify the IP addresses as an IP address from
which you can remotely access the router and the internal network connected behind a router.
To enable this function, marking the Enable filtering of incoming packets check box located
at the top of the Firewall Configuration page. Accessibility is checked against the IP address
table. This means that access is permitted only to addresses specified in the table. It is pos-
sible to specify up to eight remote IP addresses for access. You can specify the following
parameters:
Item Description
Source IP address from which access to the router is allowed.
Protocol Specifies the protocol used for remote access:
• all – Access for all protocols is active.

• TCP – Access for the TCP protocol is active.
• UDP – Access for the UDP protocol is active.
• ICMP – Access for the ICMP protocol is active.
Target Port The port number on which access to the router is allowed.
Action Specifies the type of action the router performs:
• allow – The router allows the packets to enter the network.

• deny – The router denies the packets from entering the network
Table 33: Filtering of Incoming Packets
The next section of the configuration form specifies the forwarding policy. If you unmark
the Enabled filtering of forwarded packets check box, then packets are automatically accepted.
If you activate this function, and a packet is addressed to another network interface, then the
router sends the packet to the FORWARD chain. When the FORWARD chain accepts the
packet and there is a rule for forwarding it, the router sends the packet. If a forwarding rule is
unavailable, then the router drops the packet.
This configuration form also contains a table for specifying the filter rules. It is possible
to create a rule to allow data with the selected protocol by specifying only the protocol, or to
create stricter rules by specifying values for source IP addresses, destination IP addresses,
and ports.
56
v2 Routers
Item Description
Source IP address from which access to the router is allowed.
Destination IP address of destination device.
Protocol Specifies the protocol used for remote access:
• all – Access for all protocols is active.

• TCP – Access for the TCP protocol is active.
• UDP – Access for the UDP protocol is active.
• ICMP – Access for the ICMP protocol is active.
Target Port Specifies the port number on which access to the router is allowed.
Action Specifies the type of action the router performs:
• allow – The router allows the packets to enter the network.

• deny – The router denies the packets from entering the net-
work.
Table 34: Forwarding filtering
When you enable the Enable filtering of locally destined packets function, the router drops
receives packets requesting an unsupported service. The packet is dropped automatically
without any information.
As a protection against DoS attacks, the Enable protection against DoS attacks limits the
number of allowed connections per second to five. The DoS attack floods the target system
with meaningless requirements.

3.10 NAT Configuration

To configure the address translation function, open the NAT Configuration page, click on
NAT in the Configuration section of the main menu. The router actually uses Port Address
Translation (PAT), which is a method of mapping a TCP/UDP port to another TCP/UDP port.
The router modifies the information in the packet header as the packets traverse a router. This
configuration form allows you to specify up to 16 PAT rules.
Item Description
Public Port Public port
Private Port Private port
Type Protocol type
Server IP address IP address where the router forwards incoming data.
Table 35: NAT Configuration
If you require more than sixteen NAT rules, then insert the remaining rules into the start
up script. The Startup Script dialog is located in the Configuration section of the main menu.
When creating your rules in the start up script, use the following format:
iptables -t nat -A napt -p tcp --dport [PORT\_PUBLIC] -j DNAT --to-destination

[IPADDR]:[PORT1\_PRIVATE]
Enter the IP address [IPADDR], the public ports numbers [PORT_PUBLIC], and private
[PORT_PRIVATE] in square bracket.
You use the following parameters to set the routing of incoming data from the PPP to a
connected computer.
Item Description
Send all remaining incoming Activates/deactivates forwarding unmatched incoming
packets to default server packets to the default server. The prerequisite for the
function is that you specify a default server in the Default
Server IP Address field. The router can forward incom-
ing data from a GPRS to a computer with the assigned
IP address.
Default Server IP Address Specified the IP address for the default server.

Figure 32: Example 1 – NAT Configuration
It is important to mark the Send all remaining incoming packets to default server check box
for this configuration. The IP address in this example is the address of the device behind the
router. The default gateway of the devices in the subnetwork connected to router is the same
IP address as displayed in the Default Server IP Address field. The connected device replies
if a PING is sent to the IP address of the SIM card.

In this example there is additional equipment connected behind the router, using a Switch.
Every device connected behind the router has its own IP address. This is the address to enter
in the Server IP Address field in the NAT configuration. All of these devices will be communi-
cating on port 80, but you can configure the Port Forwarding in the NAT configuration Public
Port and Private Port fields. It is now configured to access 192.168.1.2:80 socket behind the
router when accessing 10.0.0.1:81 from the Internet, and so on. If you send the ping request to
the public IP address of the router (10.0.0.1), the router will respond as usual (not forwarding).
If you access the IP address 10.0.0.1 in the browser (it is port 80), nothing will happen – Port
80 in the Public Port list is not defined, and you have not checked the Enable remote HTTP
access on port 80. And since the Send all remaining incoming packets to default server is not
enabled, the attempt to connect will fail.

create a secured connection between two separate LAN networks. The router allows you to
create up to four IPsec tunnels.
To encrypt data between the local and remote subnets, specify the appropriate values in
the subnet fields on both routers. To encrypt the data stream between the routers only,
leave the local and remote subnets fields blank.
If you specify the protocol and port information in the Local Protocol/Port field, then the
router encapsulates only the packets matching the settings.
Item Description
Description Name or description of the tunnel.
Remote IP Address IP address of remote side of the tunnel. It is also possible to enter
the domain name.
Remote ID Identifier (ID) of remote side of the tunnel. It consists of two parts:

protocol/port, for example 17/1701 for UDP (protocol 17) and
port 1701. It is also possible to enter only the number of protocol,
however, the above mentioned format is preferred.
Encapsulation Mode Specifies the IPsec mode, according to the method of encap-
sulation. You can select the tunnel mode in which the entire IP
datagram is encapsulated or the transport mode in which only IP
header is encapsulated.
Force NAT Traversal Enable NAT traversal enforcement (UDP encapsulation of ESP
packets). (Enabled).
IKE Protocol Specifies the version of IKE (IKEv1/IKEv2, IKEv1 or IKEv2).
IKE Mode Specifies the mode for establishing a connection (main or ag-
gressive). If you select the aggressive mode, then the router es-
tablishes the IPsec tunnel faster, but the encryption is perma-
nently set to 3DES-MD5. We recommend that you not use the
aggressive mode due to lower security!

attempts to negotiate a replacement. Specify a maximum value
that is less than half of IKE and Key Lifetime parameters.
Rekey Fuzz Percentage of time for the Rekey Margin extension.
DPD Delay Time after which the IPsec tunnel functionality is tested.
DPD Timeout The period during which device waits for a response.
Authenticate Mode Specifies the means by which the router authenticates:
• Pre-shared key – Sets the shared key for both sides of the
tunnel.
• X.509 Certificate – Allows X.509 authentication in multi-
client mode.

Table 40: IPsec Tunnel Configuration
Do not miss:
• If local and remote subnets are not configured then only packets between local and
remote IP address are encapsulated, so only communication between two routers
is encrypted.
• If protocol/port fields are configured then only packets matching these settings are
encapsulated.
The following procedure describes how to generate certificates and keys without a pass-
word phrase:

-out client.crt
The IPsec function supports the following types of identifiers (ID) for both sides of the
tunnel, Remote ID and Local ID parameters:
• IP address (for example, 192.168.1.1)

• DN (for example, C=CZ,O=Conel,OU=TP,CN=A)
• FQDN (for example, @director.conel.cz) – the @ symbol proceeds the FQDN.
• User FQDN (for example, [email protected])
The certificates and private keys have to be in the PEM format. Use only certificates containing
start and stop tags.
The random time, after which the router re-exchanges new keys is defined as follows:
Lifetime - (Rekey margin + random value in range (from 0 to Rekey margin * Rekey Fuzz/100))
The default exchange of keys is in the following time range:
• Minimal time: 1h - (9m + 9m) = 42m

• Maximal time: 1h - (9m + 0m) = 51m
We recommend that you maintain the default settings. When you set key exchange times
higher, the tunnel produces lower operating costs, but the setting also provides less security.
Conversely, when you reducing the time, the tunnel produces higher operating costs, but
provides for higher security.
The changes in settings will apply after clicking the Apply button.

Each monitored value is uniquely identified using a numerical identifier OID – Object Iden-
tifier. This identifier consists of a progression of numbers separated by a point. The shape
of each OID is determined by the identifier value of the parent element and then this value is
complemented by a point and current number. So it is obvious that there is a tree structure.
The following figure displays the basic tree structure that is used for creating the OIDs.
Figure 49: OID Basic Structure
The SNMP values that are specific for Conel routers create the tree starting at OID =
.1.3.6.1.4.1.30140. You interpret the OID in the following manner:

and firmware through the USB host connector of the router. To prevent possible unwanted
manipulation of the files, the router verifies that the downloaded file is in the tar.gz format. At
first, the format of the downloaded file is checked. Then the type of architecture and each file
in the archive (tar.gz file) is checked.
If the Enable automatic update of configuration option is selected, the router will check if
there is a configuration file on the remote server, and if the configuration in the file is different
than its current configuration, it will update its configuration to the new settings and reboot.
If the Enable automatic update of firmware option is checked, the router will look for a new
firmware file and update its firmware if necessary.
Item Description
Source Select the location of the update files:
• HTTP(S)/FTP(S) server – Updates are downloaded from the

Base URL address below. Used protocol is specified by that ad-
dress: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP or FTPS.
• USB flash drive – The router finds the current firmware or con-
figuration in the root directory of the connected USB device.
• Both – Looking for the current firmware or configuration from both
sources.
Base URL Base URL or IP address from which the configuration file will be down-
loaded. This option also specifies the communication protocol (HTTP,
HTTPS, FTP or FTPS), see examples below.
Unit ID Name of configuration (name of the file without extension). If the Unit
ID is not filled, the MAC address of the router is used as the filename
(the delimiter colon is used instead of a dot.)
Update Hour Use this item to set the hour (range 1-24) when the automatic update
will be performed every day. If the time is not specified, automatic up-
date is performed five minutes after turning on the router and then
every 24 hours. If the detected configuration file is different from the
running one, it is downloaded and the router is restarted automatically.
Table 75: Automatic Update Configuration
The configuration file name consists of Base URL, hardware MAC address of ETH0 inter-
face and cfg extension. Hardware MAC address and cfg extension are added to the file name
automatically and it isn’t necessary to enter them. When the parameter Unit ID is enabled,
it defines the concrete configuration name which will be downloaded to the router, and the
hardware MAC address in the configuration name will not be used.

v2 Routers
The firmware file name consists of Base URL, type of router and bin extension. For the
proper firmware filename, see the Update Firmware page in Administration section – it us
written out there. See Chapter 5.11.
It is necessary to load two files (.bin and .ver) to the HTTP/FTP server. If only the .bin
file is uploaded and the HTTP server sends the incorrect answer of 200 OK (instead of
the expected 404 Not Found) when the device tries to download the nonexistent .ver file,
then there is a risk that the router will download the .bin file over and over again.
Firmware update can cause incompatibility with the user modules. It is recommended that
you update user modules to the most recent version. Information about the user modules
and the firmware compatibility is at the beginning of the user module’s Application Note.
The following examples check for new firmware or configurations each day at 1:00 a.m. An
example is given for the LR77 v2 router.
• Firmware: http://example.com/LR77-v2.bin
• Configuration file: http://example.com/test.cfg

4. Customization
4.1 User Modules
You may run custom software programs in the router to enhance the features of the router.
Use the User Modules menu item to add new software modules to the router, to remove them,
or to change their configuration. Use the Browse button to select the user module (compiled
module has tgz extension). Use the Add button to add a user module.
Figure 69: User modules
The new module appears in the list of modules on the same page. If the module contains
an index.html or index.cgi page, the module name serves as a link to this page. The module
can be deleted using the Delete button.
Updating a module is done the same way. Click the Add button and the module with the
higher (newer) version will replace the existing module. The current module configuration is
left in the same state.
Programming and compiling of modules is described in the Application Note Programming of
User Modules [10].

5. Administration
5.1 Users
This configuration function is only available for users assigned the admin role!
To assign roles and manage user accounts open the Users form in the Administration
section of the main menu. The first frame of this configuration form contains an overview of
available users. The table below describes the meaning of the buttons in this frame.
Button Description
Lock Locks the user account. This user is not allowed to log in to the
router, neither web interface nor SSH.
Change Password Allows you to change the password for the corresponding user.
Delete Deletes the corresponding user account.
Table 77: Users Overview
Be careful! If you lock every account with the permission role Admin, you can
not unlock these accounts. This also means that the Users dialog is unavailable
for every user, because every admin account is locked and the users do not have
sufficient permissions.
The second block contains configuration form which allows you to add new user. All items
are described in the table below.
Item Description
Role Specifies the type of user account:
• User – User with basic permissions.

• Admin – User with full permissions.
Username Specifies the name of the user allowed to log in the device.
Password Specifies the password for the corresponding user.
Confirm Password Confirms the password you specified above.
Table 78: Add User

5.2 Change Profile

In addition to the standard profile, up to three alternate router configurations or profiles
can be stored in router’s non-volatile memory. You can save the current configuration to a
router profile through the Change Profile menu item. Select the alternate profile to store the
settings to and ensure that the Copy settings from current profile to selected profile box is
checked. The current settings will be stored in the alternate profile after the Apply button is
pressed. Any changes will take effect after restarting router through the Reboot menu in the
web administrator or using an SMS message.
Example of using profiles: Profiles can be used to switch between different modes of op-
eration of the router such as PPP connection, VPN tunnels, etc. It is then possible to switch
between these settings using the front panel binary input, an SMS message, or Web interface
of the router.
