Installation and configuration
of the 3G Light Industrial M2M
router
Powering the router
The 3G Light Industrial M2M router can be powered in one of three ways:
1.
Power over Ethernet (802.3af PoE) (available on the NWL-12-01 only)
2.
DC power input via 6-pin connector (8-40V DC)
3.
DC power input via field terminated power source (8-40V DC)
The green power LED on the router lights up when a power source is connected.
Power over Ethernet (802.3af PoE) (available on the NWL-12-01 only)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a method of connecting network devices through Ethernet cable where power and data are passed along a single cable. This may be a desirable method of
powering the device if PoE is available, or if it’s most convenient in the desired installation environment to only have a single cable running to the 3G Light Industrial M2M router.
There are 5 power classes defined in the IEEE 802.3-2005 standard, of which the 3G Light Industrial M2M router is a class 3 device.
CLASS

POWER RANGE
CLASS DESCRIPTION
26-30 mA
6.49 – 12.95 W
Mid power
Table 7 - PoE power classes
To use PoE to power the 3G Light Industrial M2M router, simply connect your router to a PoE injector or PoE network switch using the bundled yellow Ethernet cable 8P8C.
DC power via 6-pin connector
The DC input jack can accept power from a separately sold DC power supply. Both a standard temperature range DC power supply and an extended temperature range DC power supply are
available to purchase as accessories.
To power the device via DC Power via the 6-pin connector, remove the attached green terminal block from your router and connect the external DC power supply to the router’s green DC power
jack.
DC power via field terminated power source
If an existing 8-40V DC power supply is available, you can insert the wires into the supplied terminal block to power your router. Use a No. 3 flathead screwdriver to tighten the terminal block
screws and secure the power wires, making sure the polarity of the wires are correctly matched, as illustrated below.

The router supports the cconfiguration of up too six APN profiles; theese profiles allow youu to configure the setttings that the router will
w use to connect too the 2G/3G network and switch easily
betwween different connecction settings.
For advanced
networkingg purposes, you mayy activate a maximum
m of two profiles simu ltaneously (dependaant on network support). When activating ttwo connection profiles, you should avoidd
seleccting two profiles withh the same APN as this can cause only one profile to connectt. Similarly, activatingg two profiles which are both configured too automatically deterrmine an APN can caause a
confflict and result in neithher profile establishinng a connection. We recommend that thee two active connectioon profiles have differing, manually configgured APNs to avoid connection issues annd

2.
Click the Profile toggle key to turn the profile on. Additional settings appear.
Figure 20 - Data connection settings - Profile turned on
3.
In the Profile name field, enter a name for the profile. This name is only used to identify the profile on the router.
4.
Ensure that the Automatic APN selection toggle key is set to off. If it is not, click it to toggle it to the off position.
5.
In the APN field, enter the APN Name (Access Point Name) and if required, use the Username and Password fields to enter your login credentials.
6.
Next to Authentication type, select the either CHAP or PAP depending on the type of authentication used by your provider.
7.
The Reconnect delay field specifies the number of seconds to wait between connection attempts. The default setting of 30 seconds is sufficient in most cases but you may modify it
to wait up to 65535 seconds if you wish.
8.
The Reconnect retries field specifies the number of times to attempt to connect to the network if the router fails to establish a connection. It is set to 0 by default which causes the
router to attempt to reconnect indefinitely.
9.
The Metric value is used by router to prioritise routes (if multiple are available) and is set to 20 by default. This value is sufficient in most cases but you may modify it if you are
aware of the effect your changes will have on the service.
10.
The MTU field allows you to modify the Maximum Transmission Unit used on the connection. Do not change this unless instructed to by your carrier.
11.
Use the NAT Masquerading toggle key to turn NAT Masquerading on or off. NAT masquerading, also known simply as NAT is a common routing feature which allows multiple LAN
devices to appear as a single WAN IP via network address translation. In this mode, the router modifies network traffic sent and received to inform remote computers on the internet
that packets originating from a machine behind the router actually originated from the WAN IP address of the router’s internal NAT IP address. This may be disabled if a framed
route configuration is required and local devices require WAN IP addresses.
12.
For advanced networking such as using dual simultaneous PDP contexts, you may wish to configure a particular profile to route only certain traffic via that profile by configuring a
custom address and mask of traffic to send via that profile. To do this, in the Profile routing settings section, enter the Network address and Network mask of the remote network. If
you do not want to use this feature, or are unsure, please leave these fields blank, which will not designate any particular traffic to be routed via this profile. For more information on
configuring Profile routing settings, see the Setting a default gateway with two active connection profiles example.

Setting timers for connection and disconnection
The router has a number of timer settings which let you determine when a connection is dialled and when it is disconnected.
Figure 27 – Dial on demand - Connect and disconnect timers
OPTION
DESCRIPTION
On data activity, stay online for at least
When traffic as per the configured settings above appear, the router will either continue to stay online, or dial a connection and will not disconnect it
for the specified time period (min. 1 minute, max. 1 hour). This timer is continuously reset throughout the duration of a dial-up session, whenever
data activity is detected matching the rules above.
After connecting, stay online for at least
This timer configures the router to not hang-up the connection for the specified time period after initially dialling the connection. This setting cannot
be less than the keep online period above. This timer affects the connection only once per dial up session, at the beginning of the session.
After hanging up, don’t redial for
After a connection has been disconnected, you can tell the router to rest for a period of time before re-dialling.
Disconnect regardless of traffic after
Forces the router to disconnect the connection regardless of the traffic passing through it. The default setting is never.
If you want to have the router dial a connection at regular intervals, use Connect regularly, every to specify the interval between dials. Setting this to
never effectively disables this option.
Connect regularly, every / Randomise connect frequency by
up to
The router also features the ability to randomise the time at which the first dial action is performed. This is useful in situations such as where you
have numerous routers in an area where a power outage has occurred. Setting a random dial time helps to reduce network congestion when all the
routers are powered on so they do not all try to connect simultaneously.
When it is set to at least 2 minutes, you are able to configure the router to randomise the time it begins to dial. The randomised dial timer only affects
the initial dial after the unit powers on or after the settings are saved. For example, if you configure the router to dial every 2 minutes with a
randomised dial time of 1 minute, the router will dial the initial connection at a time greater than 2 minutes, but less than 3 minutes. After the first dial,
the router will dial the connection exactly every 2 minutes.
Table 13 - Connect on demand - Connect and disconnect timers descriptions

The router provides the option of logging all the data activity which matches the settings for the Dial on demand feature for advanced troubleshooting purposes. To enable the logging of the Dial
on demand feature, click the Enable verbose mode toggle key to switch it ON. See the System log section for more information.

In advanced networks configurations where the 3G Light Industrial M2M Router should not be responsible for DHCP assignment, but instead an existing DHCP server is located on the Wireless
WAN connection, the clients behind the 3G Light Industrial M2M Router are able to communicate with the DHCP server when DHCP relay is enabled. This enables the 3G Light Industrial M2M
Router to accept client broadcast messages and to forward them onto another subnet.
To configure the router to act as a DHCP relay agent click the DHCP relay toggle key to turn it ON and enter the DHCP server address into the DHCP server address field. DHCP relay is
disabled by default.

Routing

Static routing is the alternnative to dynamic rouuting used in more coomplex network scennarios and is used to facilitate communicaation between devicees on different networrks. Static routing involves
conffiguring the routers inn your network with all the information neccessary to allow the ppackets to be forwardded to the correct destination. If you channge the IP address off one of the devices inn the
staticc route, the route willl be broken.

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is used forr advertising routes too other routers. Thus all the routes in the router’s
routing table will be advertised to other nearby routerss. For example, the rooute
for thhe router’s Ethernet ssubnet could be adveertised to a router on the PPP interface sidde so that a router onn this network will knoow how to route to a ddevice on the router’s Ethernet subnet. Sttatic
routees must be added manually according to your requirements. See

Re
edundancy
y (VRRP) configurati
ion
Virtuual Router Redundanccy Protocol (VRRP) iss a non-proprietary reedundancy protocol designed to increasee the availability of the default gateway seervicing hosts on the same subnet. This
increeased reliability is acchieved by advertisingg a “virtual router” (an abstract representtation of master and backup
routers actingg as a group) as a deefault gateway to thee host(s) instead of onne
physsical router. Two or m
more physical routers are then configured to stand for the virtu al router, with only onne doing the actual routing at any given tiime. If the current phhysical router that is
routing the data on behalf of the virtual routerr fails, an arrangemennt is made for anotheer physical router to automatically
replace it. The physical routeter that is currently forwarding data on behhalf
of the virtual router is called the master routerr.
Master routers have a priiority of 255 and backup router(s) can havve a priority betweenn 1 and 254.
A virrtual router must use 00-00-5E-00-01-XX as
a its (MAC) addresss. The last byte of thee address (XX) is the Virtual Router Identifier (VRID), which is ddifferent for each virtuual router in the netwoork.
This address is used by oonly one physical rouuter at a time, and is the only way that othher physical routers can
c identify the masteer router within a virtuual router.

uration
To configure VRRP, confiigure multiple devicees as follows and connnect them all via an Ethernet network swiitch to downstream devices.
1.
Click the Redundancy (VRRP) toggle
key to activatee VRRP.
2.
In the Virtuaal ID field, enter an IDD between 1 and 2555. This is the VRRP IDD which is different foor each virtual router on the network.
3.
In the Router priority field, enterr a value for the priority – a higher value iss a higher priority.
4.
The Virtual IP address field is ussed to specify the VRRRP IP address – thiss is the virtual IP address that both virtual routers share.

Router Firewall
The Router firewall page is used to enable or disable the in-built firewall on the router. When enabled, the firewall performs stateful packet inspection on inbound traffic from the wireless WAN
and blocks all unknown services, that is, all services not listed on the Services configuration page of the router.
With respect to the other Routing options on the Networking page, the firewall takes a low priority. The priority of the firewall can be described as:
DMZ > MAC/IP/Port filtering rules > MAC/IP/Port filtering default rule > Router firewall rules
In other words, the firewall is of the lowest priority when compared to other manual routing configurations. Therefore, a MAC/IP/Port filtering rule takes priority in the event that there is a conflict of
rules. When DMZ is enabled, MAC/IP/Port filtering rules and the router firewall are ignored but the router will still honour the configuration of the Remote router access control settings listed under
Administration Settings.

CHAP – uses a three way handshake to authenticate the identity of a client.
MS-CHAP v1 – This is the Microsoft implementation of the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol for which support was dropped in Windows® Vista.
MS-CHAP v2 - This is the Microsoft implementation of the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol which was introduced in Windows® NT 4.0 and is still supported
today.
PAP – The Password Authentication Protocol uses a password as a means of authentication and as such, is commonly supported. PAP is not recommended because it
transmits passwords unencrypted and is not secure.
EAP – Extensible Authentication Protocol. An Authentication protocol commonly used in wireless networks.
8.
The metric value helps the router to prioritise routes and must be a number between 0 and 65535. The default value is 30 and should not be modified unless you are aware of the

White List for diagnostic or execution SMS
The white list is a list of mobile numbers that you can create which are considered “friendly” to the router. If Only accept authenticated SMS messages is enabled in the diagnostics section, the
router will compare the mobile number of all incoming diagnostic and command messages against this white list to determine whether the diagnostic or command should be executed. You may
optionally configure a password for each number to give an additional level of security. When a password is specified for a number, the SMS diagnostic or command message is parsed for the
password and will only be executed if the number and password match.
Figure 86 - White list for diagnostic or execution SMS
A maximum of 20 numbers can be stored on the router in the white list. To add a number to the white list, click the “+Add” button.

Immediately performs a soft reboot.
pddpcycle
Disconnects (if connecteted) and reconnects the daata connection. If a profile number
is selected in the ccommand, try to disconnecct/reconnect the
specified profile in casee the profile is active. If no profile
number is selected, try to disconnect/reconnecct the current active profilee. Reports an error if no
profile number is selecteed and there is no currently activated profile.
pddpdown
Disconnects the PDP. Iff a profile number is selecteed in the command, the rouuter tries to disconnect thee specified profile in case the profile is active. If no
profile number is selecteed, try to disconnect the cuurrent active profile. Reports an error if no profile nummber is selected and there is no currently activated
profile.
pddpup
Reconnects the PDP. If a profile number is selecteed in the command, the rouuter tries to connect with the
he specified profile. If no prrofile number is
selected, the router triess to connect to the last active profile. The gateway will check the currently activaated profile and disconnecct this profile before
executing the commandd. The router reports an errror if no profile number is seelected and there is no stoored last active profile number.
facctorydefaults
Performs a factory resett on the router.
Performs a download annd install of a Firmware Upgrade (.cdi), Config File (.tar.gz) or a help documentt (.pdf) file.
If the file is a firmware immage as in the case of a .ccdi file, the router will apply the recovery image first annd then the main firmware image. The download
location is specified immmediately after the commannd and may be from an HTTTP or FTP source URL.
If the file is a .tar.gz file, the router will apply the file as a configuration file update for the device and rebboot afterwards.
doownload
If the file is a .pdf, the roouter will assume this is a user
u guide document and save
s it to the router and maake the file available for vieewing via the help menu
on the Web-UI.

The Log pages are used to display or download the System log and IPSec logs on the router.

The System Log enables you to troubleshoot any issues you may be experiencing with your 3G Light Industrial M2M router. To access the System Log page, click on the System menu. The
System Log is displayed.
Figure 88 - System log file
Log file
Use the Display level drop-down list to select a message level to be displayed. The message levels are described in the table below.
To download the System log for offline viewing, right-click the Download button and choose Save as.. to save the file. To clear the System log, click the Clear button. The downloaded log file is in
Linux text format with carriage return (CR) only at the end of a line, therefore in order to be displayed correctly with new lines shown, it is recommended to use a text file viewer which displays
this format correctly (e.g. Notepad++).
Log data is stored in RAM and therefore, when the unit loses power or is rebooted, it will lose any log information stored in RAM. To ensure that log information is accessible between reboots of
the router there are two options:
1.
Enable the Log to file option
NetComm Wireless 3G Light Industrial M2M Router
92
www.netcommwireless.com
2.
Use a remoote syslog server
www.netcommwireless.com
NeetComm Wireless 3G Light Industrial M2M Router
93
Enable the log to file option
When the router is configured to log to a file, the log data is stored in flash memory, making it accessible after a reboot of the router. Up to 512kb of log data will be stored before it is overwritten
by new log data. Flash memory has a finite number of program-erase operations that it may perform to the blocks of memory. While this number of program-erase operations is quite large, we
recommend that you do not enable this option for anything other than debugging to avoid excessive wear on the memory.
Use a remote syslog server
The router can be configured to output log data to a remote syslog server. This is an application running on a remote computer which accepts and displays the log data. Most syslog servers can
also save the log data to a file on the computer on which it is running allowing you to ensure that no log data is lost between reboots.
To configure the 3G Light Industrial M2M Router to output log data to a remote syslog server:
1.
Click on the System menu from the top menu bar. The System log item is displayed.
2.
Under the Remote syslog server section, enter the IP address or hostname of the syslog server in the IP / Hostname [:PORT] field. You can also specify the port number after the
IP or hostname by entering a semi-colon and then the port number e.g. 192.168.1.102:514. If you do not specify a port number, the router will use the default UDP port 514.
3.
Click the Save button to save the configuration.

ment
What
is HTT
TP Secure??
HTTP Secure or HTTPS iss the use of the HTTPP protocol over an SSSL/TLS protocol. It is used primarily to prootect against eavesdrropping of communiccation between a webb browser and the weeb
t which it is connectted. This is especiallyy important when youu wish to have a secuure connection over a public network such as the internet. HTTTPS connections aree secured through thee use
site to
of ceertificates issued by ttrusted certificate autthorities such as VeriSign. When a web b rowser makes a connnection attempt to a secured
web site, a ddigital certificate is sent to the browser soo that
it can verify the authenticcity of the site using a built-in list of trustedd certificate authoritiees.
Therre are two main differrences between how HTTPS and HTTP coonnections work:
1.
HTTPS uses port 443 while HTTTP uses port 80 by deefault.
2.
Over an HTTTPS connection, all data
d sent and received is encrypted with SSL while over an HTTP connection, all data
d is sent unencryppted.
The encryption is achieveed through the use of
o a pair of public andd private keys on bothh sides of the connecction. In cryptography, a key refers to a nuumerical value used by an algorithm to alter
making the informatioon secure and visible only to those who haave the correspondinng key to recover (decrypt) the informationn. The public key is used
u to encrypt
inforrmation (encrypt it), m
inforrmation and can be ddistributed freely. Thee private key is used to decrypt informatioon and must be secreet by its owner.
Eachh 3G Light Industrial M2M router containss a self-signed digital certificate which is iddentical on all 3G Ligght Industrial M2M roouters. For a greater llevel of security, the router also supports
geneerating your own uniqque key. Additionally, you may use third party
p software to geneerate your own self-ssigned digital certificaate or purchase a siggned certificate from a trusted certificate
authority and then uploadd those certificates too the router.
Ge
enerating your own self-signe
ed certificaate
To generate
your own seelf-signed certificate:
1.
Click the Syystem item from the top
t menu bar, then Administration
from thhe side menu bar andd then HTTPS key management.
2.
Enter the ceertificate details using the appropriate fields. Each field must bbe completed in ordeer to generate a certificate.

Secuure Shell (SSH) is UNNIX-based command interface and network protocol used to ggain secure access too a remote computer, execute commandss on a remote machinne or to transfer files
betwween machines. It waas designed as a replacement for Telnet and
a other insecure reemote shell protocols which send informattion, including passwwords, as plain text.
SSH uses RSA public keyy cryptography for booth connection and authentication.
Two ccommon ways of usinng SSH are:
word authentication too log on.
Use aautomatically generatted public-private keyy pairs to encrypt thee network connectionn and then use passw
p to perform the auuthentication and alloow users or programss to log in without usinng a password.

Host key management
SSH keys provide a means of identification using public key cryptography and challenge response authentication. This means that a secure connection can be established without transmitting a
password, thereby greatly reducing the threat of someone eavesdropping and guessing the correct credentials.
SSH Keys always come in pairs with one being a public key and the other a private key. The public key may be shared with any server to which you want to connect. When a connection request
is made, the server uses the public key to encrypt a challenge (a coded message) to which the correct response must be given. Only the private key can decrypt this challenge and produce the
correct response. For this reason, the private key should not be shared with those who you do not wish to give authorization.
The Host key management section displays the current public keys on the router and their date and timestamp. These public keys are provided in different formats, including DSA, RSA and
ECDSA. Each format has advantages and disadvantages in terms of signature generation speed, validation speed and encryption/decryption speed. There are also compatibility concerns to
consider with older clients when using ECDSA, for example.
Generating new keys
The complete set of keys can be re-generated by selecting the Generate keys button. This key generation process takes approximately 30 seconds to complete.
Downloading keys
The Get keys button allows you to download the complete set of public and private keys while the Get public keys button will download only the set of public keys.
Uploading your own key files
Click the Upload keys button to upload your own public key to the router.
Client key management
The Client Key Management section is used for uploading the public key file of clients. To upload a client public key, click the Upload button, browse to the file and click Open.
When the file is uploaded, it is examined for validity. If the key file is not a valid public key, it will not be uploaded.
