Enter PUK After three incorrect attempts at entering the PIN code, you are requested to enter a PUK code. Please note: You will need to contact your 3G provider to obtain this number. Your carrier will issue you a PUK code to enable you to unlock the SIM and enter a new PIN code. Enter the new PIN and PUK codes and click Save. Figure 26 - SIM Security - SIM PUK Needed Remember PIN This feature allows the router to automatically send the PIN to the SIM each time the SIM asks for it (usually at power up). This enables the SIM to be PIN Locked (to prevent unauthorised re-use of the SIM elsewhere), while still allowing the router to connect to the cellular service. When this feature is enabled the PIN entered by the user when they set the ‚Remember PIN‛ feature is encrypted and stored locally in the router. The next time the SIM asks the router for the PIN the router decrypts the PIN and automatically sends it to the SIM without user intervention. When this feature is disabled and the SIM is PIN locked, the PIN must be manually entered via the router‘s configuration interface. This is clearly not desirable where the router is unattended.

30 NTC-30WV – Outdoor HSPA+ WiFi Router with Voice UM-00003 www.netcommwireless.com RIP RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is used for advertising routes to other routers. Thus all the routes in the router’s routing table will be advertised to other nearby routers. For example, the route for the router’s Ethernet subnet could be advertised to a Router on the PPP interface side so that a Router on this network will know how to route to a device on the router’s Ethernet subnet. You will have to add the routes appropriately in the Static Routes section – see Adding Static Routes. Please note: Some routers will ignore RIP. Figure 31 - RIP Settings 1.

UM-00003 www.netcommwireless.com NTC-30WV – Outdoor HSPA+ WiFi Router with Voice 31 VRRP Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a non-proprietary redundancy protocol designed to increase the availability of the default gateway servicing hosts on the same subnet. This increased reliability is achieved by advertising a ‚virtual router‛ (an abstract representation of master and backup routers acting as a group) as a default gateway to the host(s) instead of one physical router. Two or more physical routers are then configured to stand for the virtual router, with only one doing the actual routing at any given time. If the current physical router that is routing the data on behalf of the virtual router fails, an arrangement is made for another physical router to automatically replace it. The physical router that is currently forwarding data on behalf of the virtual router is called the master router. Master routers have a priority of 255 and backup router(s) can have priority between 1 and 254. A virtual router must use 00-00-5E-00-01-XX as its (MAC) address. The last byte of the address (XX) is the Virtual Router Identifier (VRID), which is different for each virtual router in the network. This address is used by only one physical router at a time, and is the only way that other physical routers can identify the master router within a virtual router. Figure 32 - VRRP Settings 1. Click Enable to activate the VRRP service. 2. Enter an ID – this is the VRRP ID which is different for each virtual router on the network. 3. Enter a priority – a higher value is a higher priority. 4. Enter the VRRP IP address – this is the virtual IP address that both virtual routers share. 5. Click the ‚Save VRRP‛ button. Please note: Configuring VRRP changes the MAC address of the Ethernet port and therefore if you want to resume with the web configuration you must use the new IP address (VRRP IP) or on a command prompt type: arp –d <ip address> (i.e. arp –d 192.168.1.1) to clear the arp cache.(old MAC address).

UM-00003 www.netcommwireless.com NTC-30WV – Outdoor HSPA+ WiFi Router with Voice 53 System Monitor The System Monitor page is used to configure the behaviour of the Periodic Piing monitor function. Figure 58 - System Monitor Settings The Periodic Ping Reset Monitor configures the router to transmit controlled ping packets to 2 specified IP addresses. Should the router not receive responses to the pings, the router will reboot. This works as follows: 1. After every ‚Periodic Ping Timer‛ configured interval, the router sends 3 consecutive pings to the ‚Destination Address‛. 2. If all 3 pings fail the router sends 3 consecutive pings to the ‚Second Address‛. 3. The router then sends 3 consecutive pings to the ‚Destination Address‛ and 3 consecutive pings to the ‚Second Address‛ every ‚Periodic Ping Accelerated Timer‛ configured interval. 4. If all accelerated pings in step 3 above fail the number of times configured in ‚Fail Count‛, the router reboots. 5. If any ping succeeds the router returns to step 1 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 router time to reconnect to the cellular network following a reboot. How to disable the Periodic Ping Monitor To disable the Periodic Ping Reset Monitor simply set to ‚Fail Count‛ 0. 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. How to configure a Forced Reset This facility is available by clicking on the ‚Services‛ menu followed by the ‚System Monitor‛ menu item on the right.

60 NTC-30WV – Outdoor HSPA+ WiFi Router with Voice UM-00003 www.netcommwireless.com Enable Authentication Enable or disable checking the sender’s phone number against the allowed sender ‚White List‛ for incoming Diagnostics/Command Execution SMS messages. If authentication is enabled, the router will check if the sender’s number exists in the ‚White List‛. If it exists, the router then checks the password in the incoming message against the password in the ‚White List‛ for the corresponding sending number. If they match, the Diagnostics/Command is executed. If the number does not exist in ‚White List‛ or the password does not match, the router does not execute the incoming Diagnostics/Command Execution SMS message. This is enabled by default. It is highly recommended to enable security when utilising the Diagnostics/Command Execution feature. Send Ack. SMS for Set Command Enable or disable sending an acknowledge message after execution of a ‚Set‛ command. If disabled the router does not send any acknowledgement after execution of a ‚Set‛ command. This can be useful to determine if a command was received and executed by the router. This is disabled by default. Send Ack. SMS to Select destination to send an acknowledgement message to after the execution of a ‚Set‛ command. If ‚Fixed Ack. SMS Number‛ is selected, the acknowledgement message will be sent to the predefined number in the ‚Fixed Ack. SMS Number‛ field. If the SMS Sender Number is selected, the acknowledgement message will be sent to sender directly. The default setting is to use ‚SMS Sender Number‛. Fixed Ack. SMS Number Enter the destination number to which acknowledgement messages will be sent after the execution of a ‚Set‛ command. Send Error SMS for Get/Set/Exec Command Enable or disable the sending of an error message resulting from the execution of a Get/Set/Exec command. If disabled, the router does not send any error notifications after the execution of a Get/Set/Exec command. This function is disabled by default. Send Error SMS to Select the destination of the error messages from the execution of a Get/Set/Exec command. If ‚Fixed Number‛ is selected, any error messages will be sent to the predefined number in the ‚Fixed Error SMS Number‛ field. If ‚SMS Sender Number‛ is selected, any error messages will be sent to the sender directly. The default setting is to use ‚SMS Sender Number‛.
