3.1 Unpacking
After received the box of H8956, please unpack it and check if all accessories complete.
Please check Table 2-2 as reference.
3.2 How to install
3.2.1 SIM/UIM card install
H8956 Cellular router support single SIM/UIM card, so you may need insert single SIM
before config it.

3.2.2 Ethernet cable connection
Use Ethernet port directly connect H8956 Cellular router and computer, or transferred by a
switch.
3.3 Power supply
In order to get high reliability, H8956 Cellular router adapt wide voltage input: +12VDC,
support hot plug and complex application environment.
3.4 Review
After connect SIM/UIM card, Ethernet cable, necessary antenna, then connect power cable.
Please connect antenna before connect power cable, otherwise because of Impedance
mismatching, signal maybe poor.
Notice
Step 1 Check antenna connection.
Step 2 Check SIM/UIM card installation to confirm SIM/UIM card is available.
Step 3 Power on H8956 Cellular router, the router will automatically connect to the network

General configuration
This method will temporarily interrupts the communication between the computer
under configuration and LAN, and the specific parameter configuration is shown as
below:
IP address: 192.168.8.* (*indicates any integral between 2 to 254)
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.8.1

Note:
“Default gateway” depends on whether the configuration computer connects with
Internet through original local network configuration. If Internet is accessed through
original local network, the default gateway setting does not need to be modified; if
H8956 Cellular router is used, you need to modify the default gateway and configure it
as H8956 Cellular router ’s default LAN IP address 192.168.8.1.

H8956 Cellular router provides WLAN AP, Station Client, Repeater three functions, through
AP function, H8956 Cellular router can provide wireless LAN hotspots; through Station
client function, it allows H8956 Cellular router access to other AP devices, such H8956

downlink machine can access the Internet via the AP connection;
Repeater functionality can be other AP WLAN signal amplification device, to achieve
WLAN signal repeater, so the clients far away from the AP WLAN can access the AP.

5.2.5 Parameter select
Router parameter select function is used for multi-function switch, like VPN parameter
switch, SIM parameter switch, multi-sever switch .etc. You could pre-config several network
parameter and switch between them, to achieve multiple Telecom operator backup. This
function also could switch VPN setting, for example, when modem online it connect VPN 1,
wan online it connect VPN2, they cannot connect at same time because conflict, by this
function you could easily switch when network failure.

5.3 Application program configuration
Based on years of customers experience for different applications, besides SNMP, DDNS,
H8956 Cellular router has developed many functions for wireless network equipment, such as
ICMP check, interface flow check function, M2M terminal management function, task
management function and waking on demand function.
5.3.1 ICMP check
There is fake link (can get IP after dialing, but cannot link to destination address). Usually
LCP is used to avoid this. Besides LCP, H8956 Cellular router can use another more reliable
checking way ICMP which check the link by PING. When abnormal link is checked, the
preset action will be executed to recover the link and systems quickly. Initially ICMP is to
check wireless link, and now it can be used to check VPN link and supports simultaneous
check in different rules. It supports maximum 10 ICMP check rules.
Step 1 Log-on WEB GUI of H8956 Cellular router .
Step 2 Click “applications > ICMP Check”.

5.5.3 Static Routing
Static routing can forward packets according that the user configure specific forwarding path
manually. Static Routing form is divided into static routing and policy routing, static routing

is based on the destination address as an alternative route; while policy route is based on the
source address that match with the policy to forward the packets (forwarding router detects
the received packet's source address, and then according to the source that match the
appropriate address of policy route to forward) and policy routing priority, use numbers 3 to
252 to differentiate, the smaller number with higher priority. And there are priorities between
static routing and policy routing: policy routing higher priority than static routing.

Static routing will select the route to forward according to the destination address of the packet receive
from the router, if the router received the packet(source address is 1.1.1.1 destination address is 2.2.2.2),
It will forward the packet to next hop according to the route which meet with the destination
address(2.2.2.2).
Policy routing will forward according to the source address of the packet, if the router received the
packet(source address is 1.1.1.1 destination address is 2.2.2.2), it will forward the packet to next hop
according to the route which meet with the source address(1.1.1.1).
Policy routing higher priority than static routing, policy-based routing priority regardless of how much.

two subnets; If the router's bandwidth is relatively well-off, the router can be based on two subnets redundant
bandwidth is first priority and high priority redundancy to meet the bandwidth, then meet low priority subnet

RIP is an interior gateway protocol. In the national networks ( such as the current Internet ) , has a lot for
the entire network routing protocols. Only adjacent routers exchange information. If the communication
between the two routers do not go through another router , the two routers are adjacent. RIP agreement,
without the exchange of information between non-adjacent routers.
Routers exchanging information is all the information currently known to the router . That is its own
routing table. At a fixed time to exchange routing information ( such as every 30 seconds ) , then the
router receives the routing information to update the routing table.
RIP protocol "distance" also known as " hops " (hop count), because each through a router hop count is
incremented . RIP is considered a good route it through a small number of routers , namely, " a short
distance ." RIP allows a path can contain up to 15 routers. Therefore, the "distance" equal to 16 hop
which is equivalent unreachable. RIP visible only for small Internet.

OSPF is a link-state (Link-state) routing protocol, commonly used for the same routing domain. Here,
the routing domain is an autonomous system, which refers to the routers can switch routing information
through a unified network switching or routing protocol routing policy in the AS, all OSPF routers
maintains an identical description of the database structure AS, which is stored in the database link status
information corresponding routing domain, OSPF router is through this database to calculate its OSPF
routing table.
As a link-state routing protocol, OSPF link state broadcast data LSA (Link State Advertisement) sent to
all routers in an area, which is different from the distance vector routing protocols. Distance vector
routing protocol passed some or all rouing information of the routing table to the adjacent routers.

6.2 Awake function(Option)
Typical case
H8956 Cellular router support wake up function, means router will not auto-dial after power
on, but dial triggered by data or call or SMS. Then router auto offline by idle or timeout. This
function could save your data traffic fee.
For example, after setting phone trigger number, a call to router by that number could
trigger the router dial online, one phone number could control one modem.

the router offline. Please notice, to enable this function, the SIM must support phone and/or
SMS function.
6.3 Parameter select
Typical case
H8956 Cellular router provides the parameter switching function, or temporarily stop

Introduction
VPN, virtual private network, a technology based on Internet, now H8956 Cellular
router supports L2TP/PPTP/GRE/IPIP/IPSec of VPN.
L2TP used to build a virtual private network, after H8956 Cellular router connect to company
NAS server, PC under H8956 could visit company network like visiting the local area network.
Let us check a setting example:

assume using IPSec tunnel mode, H8956 end local network 192.168.86.1/24, company server
