Installation and Configuration of
the 3G38WV-TS
Placement of your 3G38WV-TS
Just like your mobile phone, the 3G38WV-TS’s location will affect its signal strength to the TELUS Mobile Base Station (Cell Tower).
The data speed achievable from the 3G38WV-TS is relative to this signal strength, which is affected by many environmental factors.
Please keep in mind that the 3G38WV-TS will need adequate signal strength in order to provide Internet connectivity whilst
choosing a location to place your 3G38WV-TS.
Similarly, the wireless connection between your 3G38WV-TS and your Wi-Fi devices will be stronger the closer your connected
devices are to your 3G38WV-TS. Your wireless connection and performance will degrade as the distance between your 3G38WV-
TS and connected devices increases. This may or may not be directly noticeable, and is greatly affected by the individual installation
environment.
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the
computer to a position between three to five meters from the 3G38WV-TS in order to see if distance is the problem.
Please note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless
network from functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this
checklist may help. Please ensure that your 3G38WV-TS’s 4G external antenna is positioned vertically (toward the ceiling).
If you experience difficulties connecting wirelessly between your Wi-Fi Devices and your 3G38WV-TS, please try the following steps:
In multi-storey homes, place the 3G38WV-TS on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This
may mean placing the 3G38WV-TS on an upper floor.
Try not to place the 3G38WV-TS near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the
3G38WV-TS (2.4GHz).
Avoid obstacles and interference
Avoid placing your 3G38WV-TS near devices that may emit radio ‚noise,‛ such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit
wireless communication include:
Refrigerators
Washers and/or dryers
Metal cabinets
Large aquariums
Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as those listed above are not blocking
the signal’s path (between your devices and the 3G38WV-TS).
Cordless Phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after considering the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
Try moving cordless phones away from your 3G38WV-TS and your wireless-enabled computers.
Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s
information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering with the 3G38WV-TS.
If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless
network. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your 3G38WV-TS to channel 11. See your phone’s
user manual for detailed instructions.
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.
Choose the ‚Quietest‛ Channel for your Wireless Network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless
networks nearby that can conflict with your wireless network. Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless Utility of your
wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available (see your wireless adapter’s user manual), and switch your
Router and computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible.
Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from
neighbouring cordless phones or other wireless devices.

System Monitor
Figure 55 - Advanced View - System Monitor Settings
The Periodic Ping Reset Monitor configures the 3G38WV-TS to transmit controlled ping packets to user specified IP addresses. If
the router does not receive a response to the pings the router will reboot. The purpose of this feature is to ensure recovery of the
device if the internet connection disconnects and does not reconnect for some reason.
This feature works as follows:-
Every ‚Periodic Ping Timer‛ value in seconds, the 3G38WV-TS sends 3 consecutive pings to the ‚Destination
Address‛.
If all 3 pings fail the 3G38WV-TS sends 3 consecutive pings to the ‚Second Address‛.
The 3G38WV-TS then sends 3 consecutive pings to the ‚Destination Address‛ and 3 consecutive pings to the
‚Second Address‛ every ‚Periodic Ping Accelerated Timer‛ seconds.
If all accelerated pings in step D fail, the 3G38WV-TS reboots after waiting the amount of time entered in the ‚Fail
Count‛ times.
If any of the pings succeed, the 3G38WV-TS returns to step A and does not reboot.
Please note: The ‚Periodic Ping Timer‛ should never be set to a value less than 60 seconds; this is to allow the
3G38WV-TS time to reconnect to the cellular network following a reboot.
To disable the Periodic Ping Reset Monitor simply set to ‚Fail Count‛ 0
The 3G38WV-TS can be configured to automatically reboot on a periodic interval specified in minutes. While this is not necessary, it
does ensure that in the case of remote installations it will reboot the 3G38WV-TS if some anomaly occurs.
The default value is 0 which disables the Periodic Reset Timer.
The maximum value is 65535 minutes.

Additional Product Information
Using the 3G38WV-TS to make and receive telephone calls
The 3G38WV-TS provides circuit switched voice services via two telephony line interfaces offering the ability to make and receive
telephone calls via a regular analogue telephone using the MBB mobile network.
Please note: Please refer to your mobile service provider for activation of your voice service and information about the call
charges that apply.
It’s important to note that the 3G38WV-TS has two separate line interfaces that share a single outbound/inbound telephone line.
This means that handset(s) connected via one port will not be able to use the line at the same time as handsets connected via the
other port.
If a call is already in progress via the first port, the user on the handset(s) connected to the second port will receive a busy signal.
Incoming calls will ring and can be answered on either port, however once a call is answered from one port, handset(s) on the
second port will receive a busy signal.
Handset requirements
The 3G38WV-TS allows you to make telephone calls over the MBB network using a standard analogue telephone via the built in RJ-
11 Phone ports. Please refer to the documentation provided by the manufacturer of your analogue telephone for assistance with the
operation of your telephone handset.
Maximum REN Loading
Please note that each of the line interfaces on the 3G38WV-TS is capable of supporting multiple analogue telephones connected via
splitters. The ringer equivalence number (REN) for each line is 5. Therefore, a maximum of 5 handsets each with a REN number of 1
can be connected to each line port.
Before you start make any phone call, make sure you checked the following:
1. You have an activated MBB SIM card inserted prior to powering on the 3G38WV-TS.
2. Your 3G38WV-TS is powered on and in running condition.
3. A working analogue telephone connected into either the Line 1 or Line 2 port.
4. You hear the dial tone and the Line LED on the front of your 3G38WV-TS should light up after lifting the handset.
How to place a call
To make a call, simply lift the handset and dial the number following the instructions provided by your telephone handset
manufacturer.
How to receive a call
When an incoming call is received, both Line 1 and Line 2 lights will start flashing and any phones connected to the 3G38WV-TS will
ring. Answer the telephone following the instructions provided by your telephone handset manufacturer to conduct the call.
Please note: If the call is answered from a telephone connected to Line 1, telephones connected to Line 2 will receive an
engaged tone for the duration of the call.
If there is no phone connected to the 3G38WV-TS, all incoming calls will be transferred to Voicemail (if enabled on the device).
Answering an incoming call when on a call
Call waiting enables a 2nd incoming call to be received while you are on a call. To answer a call waiting call, perform a hook-flash
(briefly depressing the hook button). The incoming call should then be answered. Upon hanging up or performing another hook-
flash, you will be returned to the original telephone call.
Accessing voicemail
To access your voicemail, please dial *98 and follow the voice prompts.

FAQ
1. Does the NetComm Smart Hub 4G require any configuration out of the box?
No, the NetComm Smart Hub 4G is plug and play device. Plug the device into an electrical outlet and once the status
indicator lights are on, plug in your analog phone and LAN cable for voice and data connectivity. For WiFi connectivity the
SSID (Service Set Identifier) and network key (password) are located on the bottom of the device. If you would like to
customize your settings you can enter 192.168.20.1 into your Web browser to access the Management Console and
device settings.
2. I cannot seem to access the web page interface
The default IP address of the unit is 192.168.20.1, so first try to open a web browser to this address. Also check that your
laptop/ PC is on the same subnet as the router’s Ethernet port.
3. The router was connected but cannot get back online
You may need to enable the periodic ping timer using the System Monitor Link from the Management Console. This
ensures that if the connection drops (i.e outage on the network) that the router will reboot after so many failed pings and
then force a re-connect. Set the timer to around 15 mins should be sufficient.
Please note: The traffic generated by the periodic ping feature is counted as chargeable usage, please keep this in mind
when selecting how often to ping.
4. Router is rebooting frequently
Check the System Monitor link in the Administration menu on the management console and see if the Periodic Reset
timeout is set to something other than 0. If it is set to 1 this means the unit will reboot every minute regardless of what
happens. Reset it to 0 if you don’t want this feature or something quite large if you don’t want the router to reboot so
often.
5. Router has connection but cannot access the internet
Check that DNS Proxy is enabled by clicking on the LAN link on the configuration interface. Make sure that the DHCP DNS
server address 1 IP address is set to the same address as that of the Ethernet port.
6. I cannot seem to get a MBB WAN connection
Click on the MBB Internet Settings link on the webpage interface and check that the correct APN settings are entered.
Also check that the username and password credentials are correct if the APN in use requires these.
Make sure that Auto Connect is enabled on the PPP Profile Connect section on the Data Connection page.
Check you have suitable MBB signal strength and that your SIM is active and does not require a PIN code to be
entered.
7. The SIM status indicates that the SIM is ‚not installed or reboot required‛ on the home page
If a SIM is installed correctly this may indicate that the SIM has been removed or inserted whilst the unit is powered up. In
this case you must reboot the unit. The Reset button on the home page will reboot the router.
8. How can I see the data usage on my NetComm Smart Hub 4G?
You can check your current Usage statistics by clicking on the ‚Usage Monitor‛ link at the top of the Status Page in the
