Product Features
The NetComm Wireless outdoor router (NTC-30WV) is designed to deliver high speed internet to homes and businesses with
otherwise little to no Internet access available. The NTC-30WV is a robust 3G (HSPA+) router which can be pole or wall mounted
and connects to a 3G network. The NTC-30WV features a powerful antenna system and wireless radio together in a single unit. This
tight integration between the radio receiver and antenna system in an outdoor unit provides great benefits to signal strength
compared with separated solutions involving signal degradation along lengthy antenna cabling.
The integrated telephone adapter connects a standard analogue phone handset to the NTC-30WV. It allows for phone calls to be
made over the 3G UMTS network for a full landline replacement. The router integrates a powerful Sierra Wireless module (MC8704)
and delivers download speeds of up to 21Mbps which is then transmitted via Ethernet to a WiFi router inside the property.
Power is delivered to the outdoor router via Power over Ethernet technology making installation quick and easy as there is no power
source required at the outdoor mount point, and both power and data can be provided via a single cable from inside the property.
With an IP67 rating, the device also withstands diverse temperature and weather environments.

Implementation and Deployment
Scenario
The NTC-30WV is a robust 3G (DC-HSPA+ ) router that connects to the 3G network and is mounted either on the wall or a pole
and positioned in an optimal position on the outside of a property. The NTC-30WV features a powerful antenna system and radio
modem together in the one unit in an outdoor location. This tight integration between the radio receiver and antenna system in an
outdoor unit provides great benefits to signal strength compared with alternate separated solutions involving signal degradation
along lengthy antenna cabling.
Figure 7 - Typical NTC-30WV Deployment - House
Power is delivered to the outdoor router via Power over Ethernet technology (as shown above) making installation quick and easy as
there is no power source required at the outdoor mount point, and both power and data can be provided via a single cable from
inside the property. With an IP67 rated enclosure, the device also withstands diverse temperature and weather environments.
Utilising an 802.11n WiFi repeater further increases the WiFi range of the NTC-30WV meaning a wireless connection is possible in
all corners of your house or property.

SIM Security
If the SIM card is locked you will need to unlock it with a PIN provided with your SIM card.
You can find out if the SIM is locked by viewing the SIM Status on the Status page:
Figure 24 - SIM Security - Status Page Warning
If the SIM Status is ‚SIM PIN‛ as above then do the following:
1. Click on the ‚Internet Settings‛ menu at the top of the page and then the ‚SIM Security‛ item from the WWAN (3G)
menu item on the right.
Figure 25 - SIM Security - SIM PIN Needed
2. Enter the PIN code in the ‚PIN‛ field and then enter it again in the ‚Confirm PIN‛ field to confirm the PIN code.
Please note: You can also select to ‚Remember PIN‛ so that entering the PIN code each time the SIM is inserted is not
required. Alternatively you can also disable SIM PIN protection by selecting to ‚Disable PIN‛ from the ‚PIN
Protection‛ drop down menu.
3. Click Save.
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.

LAN
IP Setup
The IP Setup page is used to configure the LAN Settings of the router and to enable or disable DNS Masquerade.

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.

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).

Most wireless adapters in computers and laptops support at least WEP and WPA.
WDS Mode
The NTC-30WV supports the configuration of a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). WDS allows you to expand your wireless
network with multiple access points. There are two WDS modes available: Bridged Mode and Repeater Mode.
In Bridged mode, the WDS access points communicate with each other but do not communicate with wireless clients. Bridged
mode is best used in situations where the client machines connect via Ethernet cable. In Repeater mode, the WDS access points
communicate with each other and with wireless clients.
Below is an example of how to configure two NTC-30WV routers to utilise the Repeater mode WDS feature. In this example, Access
Point 1 is connected to a mobile broadband network and Access Point 2 and its clients will connect to the internet through Access
Point 1.
Access Point 1 – Mobile Broadband Connected
1. Establish a Mobile Broadband connection with Access Point 1:

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.
The router can be configured to automatically reboot after a period of time specified in minutes. While this is not necessary, it does
ensure that in the case of remote installations, it will reboot the router if some anomaly occurs.
The default value is 0 which disables the Forced Reset Timer. The maximum value is 65535 minutes.

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

Additional Product Information
Using the NTC-30WV to make and receive telephone calls
The NTC-30WV provides circuit switched voice services via a telephony line interface offering the ability to make and receive
telephone calls via a regular analogue telephone using the 3G 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.
Handset requirements
The NTC-30WV allows you to make telephone calls over the 3G network using a standard analogue telephone via the built in RJ-11
Phone port. 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 the line interface on the NTC-30WV 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 the line port.
Before you start making any phone calls, make sure you have checked the following:
1. You have an activated 3G SIM card inserted prior to powering on the NTC-30WV.
2. Your NTC-30WV is powered on and in running condition.
3. A working analogue telephone connected into the Line port.
4. You hear the dial tone 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, the phone connected to the NTC-30WV will ring. Answer the telephone following the instructions
provided by your telephone handset manufacturer to conduct the call.
If there is no phone connected to the NTC-30WV, 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.
