© Microhard Systems Inc. 3 2.0 Quick Start This QUICK START guide will walk you through the setup and process required to access the WebUI configuration window and to establish a basic wireless connection to your carrier. Note that the units arrive from the factory with the Local Network setting configured as ‘Static’ (IP Address 192.168.168.1, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, and Gateway 192.168.168.1), in DHCP server mode. (This is for the LAN Ethernet Adapter on the back of the VIP4G unit. 2.1 Installing the SIM Card  Before the VIP4G can be used on a cellular network a valid SIM Card for your Wireless Carrier must be installed. Insert the SIM Card into the slot as shown below. 2.2 Getting Started with Cellular  Connect the power connector to the power adapter and apply power to the unit, once the blue CPU LED is on solid, proceed to the next step. SIM Card Slot To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the CFG button for 8 seconds with the VIP4G powered up. The LED’s will flash quickly and the IP4G will reboot with factory defaults. Use the MHS-supplied power adapter or an equivalent power source. 9-30VDC
© Microhard Systems Inc. 4 2.0 Quick Start  Connect A PC configured for DHCP directly to one of the LAN ETHERNET ports of the VIP4G, using an Ethernet Cable. If the PC is configured for DHCP it will acquire a IP Address from the VIP4G.  Open a Browser Window and enter the IP address 192.168.168.1 into the ad-dress bar.  The VIP4G will then ask for a Username and Password. Enter the factory de-faults listed below. 192.168.168.1 The factory default network settings: IP: 192.168.168.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.168.1 The Factory default login: User name: admin Password: admin The factory default login: User name: admin Subnet: admin It is always a good idea to change the default admin login for future security.
© Microhard Systems Inc. 5  Once successfully logged in, the System Summary page will be displayed.  As seen above under Carrier Status, the SIM card is installed, but an APN has not been specified. Click on the Carrier > Settings tab and enter the APN sup-plied by your carrier in the APN field. Some carriers may also require a User-name and Password.  Once the APN and any other required information is entered to connect to your carrier, click on “Submit”. Return to the System > Summary tab. 2.0 Quick Start
© Microhard Systems Inc. 6  On the Carrier > Status Tab, verify that a WAN IP Address has been assigned by your carrier. The Activity Status should also show “Connected”.  Congratulations! Your VIP4G is successfully connected to your Cellular Carrier. The next section gives a overview on enabling and setting up the WiFi Wireless features of the modem giving 802.11 devices network access.  To access devices connected to VIP4G remotely, one or more of the following must be configured: IP-Passthrough, Port Forwarding, DMZ. Another option would be to set up a VPN. 2.0 Quick Start
