2. Configuring Wireless WAN Mobile broadband Router 2.1. Installation Considerations The Wireless WAN Mobile Broadband Router allows you access your network using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind however, that the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit this range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials used, and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. To maximize your wireless range, please follow these guidelines: 1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the Wireless WAN Mobile Broadband Router and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce the Wireless WAN Mobile Broadband Router’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters). Note: The same considerations apply to your broadband EVDO connection. 2. Keep your product aware from electrical devices (such as microwaves, air conditioners, and televisions) that emit large quantities of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). 2.1.1. Installation Instructions- Get Start Networking Connect the Wireless Router to Your Network Note: DO NOT connect Wireless WAN Mobile Broadband Router to power before performing the installation steps below. 1. Attach the antenna.---picture 2.1 Picture 2.1 a. Remove the antenna from its plastic wrapper. b. Screw the antenna in a clockwise direction to the back panel of the unit. c. Once secured, position the antenna upward at its connecting joint. This will ensure optimal reception.
2. Plug in USB modem with service to the Wireless WAN Mobile Broadband Router ---see Picture 2.2 Picture 2.2 Note: The Wireless WAN Mobile Broadband Router is designed to work with either UMTS or EV-DO and even HSDPA 3G card that can be used as a modem (support tethered data). Please refer to your service provider for detailed feature information. 3. Insert the Ethernet patch cable into LAN Port on the back panel of the Wireless WAN Mobile Broadband Router, and an available Ethernet port on the network adapter in the computer you will use to configure the unit.-see Picture 2.3 Picture 2.3 Note: The Wireless WAN Mobile Broadband Router LAN Port is “Auto-MDI/MDIX.” This provides patch Ethernet cable LAN Port access. 4. Connect the power adapter to the receptor on the back panel of your Wireless WAN
Mobile Broadband Router. Then plug the other end of the power adapter into a wall outlet or power strip.---Picture 2.4 Picture 2.4 a. The Power LED will turn ON to indicate power has been applied. b. Other LEDs will flash ON and OFF as the Wireless WAN Mobile Broadband Router performs initialization and Internet connection processes. This will take a few minutes. c. When complete, the following LEDs will illuminate green: M1, WAN, LAN, and WiFi

This product’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so all hosts behind this product are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of them accessible by enabling the Virtual Server Mapping. A virtual server is defined as a Service Port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the computer specified by the Server IP. Virtual Server can work with Scheduling Rules, and give user more flexibility on Access control. For Detail, please refer to Scheduling Rule. For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.123.1, a Web server (port 80) at 192.168.123.2, and a VPN server at 192.168.123.6, then you need to specify the following virtual server mapping table: Service Port Server IP Enable 21 192.168.123.1 V 80 192.168.123.2 V 1723 192.168.123.6 V Click on “Save” to store what you just select or “Undo” to give up Advanced Setup > Forwarding Rules > Special AP
