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 IPn4G unit.
2.1 Installing the SIM Card
Before the IPn4G 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,
the RF & SGNL LED’s will flash during boot-up, once they stop, proceed to the
next step.
SIM Card Slot
To reset to factory
defaults, press and
hold the CFG button
for 8 seconds with the
IPn4G 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.
The unit can also be
powered via PoE using a
MHS PoE injector.

2.0 Quick Start
Connect A PC configured for DHCP directly to the ETHERNET port of the IPn4G,
using an Ethernet Cable. If the PC is configured for DHCP it will automatically
acquire a IP Address from the IPn4G.
Open a Browser Window and enter the IP address 192.168.168.1 into the ad-
dress bar.
The IPn4G will then ask for a Username and Password. Enter the factory defaults
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.

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

On the Carrier > Status Tab, verify that a WAN IP Address has been assigned by
your carrier. It may take a few minutes, so try refreshing the page if the WAN
IP Address doesn’t show up right away. The Activity Status should also show
“Connected”.
To access devices connected to IPn4G remotely, one or more of the following
must be configured: IP-Passthrough, Port Forwarding, DMZ. Another option
would be to set up a VPN.
