Changing the Password and Settings
During the device setup, you can select Set up my Sierra Wireless™ 4G LTE Tri-Fri Hotspot
to change the following settings:
●
Administrator password — This password is used to log in to the home page, where
you can view and customize your device settings. The default password is “password.”
Choose something easy-to-remember (yet not easily guessed by others). If you forget
this password, you’ll need to reset the device to its default settings and go through the
device setup (as described in Device Setup).
Your administrator password must be 1–20 characters long.
●
Wi-Fi network name (SSID) — This name is visible to other Wi-Fi-enabled devices, and
is used to identify your Wi-Fi network. The length of the Wi-Fi network name (SSID)
depends on other settings of the browser interface. (See the Help bubble that’s
displayed when you move the cursor to the SSID input field.)
●
Wi-Fi security — The default setting is WEP 64 Bit Open. To select another option, click
More options. (See “Wi-Fi Security Options”, below.)
●
Wi-Fi password — The maximum length of this field is determined by the Wi-Fi
security option (the previous item). (See the Help bubble that’s displayed when you
move the cursor to the Wi-Fi password field.)
If you’ll be sharing your Internet connection, you may need to give the Wi-Fi password to
other users; don’t use your banking or other important passwords. Also, don’t use a
password that’s easily guessed by others.
From this window you can also enable the Password Reminder feature, which is useful if you
forget the Wi-Fi password (Show Wi-Fi password on your device). (See “Wi-Fi Password
Reminder” in Wi-Fi Password.)
Tip:
Help information on each field appears (in a bubble) when you move the cursor into the
field.
Tip:
You can display this window any time, by clicking Admin Setup (
) in the home
page. (See Displaying the Home Page of the Device.)
After you change the settings and click Submit, the device restarts and displays updated
information on its LCD. Follow the instructions on the LCD, and proceed to “Your Device is Now
Restarting” (below).
Wi-Fi Security Options
If you click More options (after having clicked Set up my Sierra Wireless™ 4G LTE Tri-Fri
Hotspot, during the device setup), a window with several Wi-Fi security options opens.
Get Started
14
Note: All the devices used with the Sierra Wireless 4G LTE Tri Fi Hotspot must support the
selected security type.
Note: WPS is available only if you select either a WPA2 Personal option (including
WPA/WPA2 Personal) or (not recommended) no security. (See Connecting Through
WPS.)
The options displayed depend on the Basic Rate setting (in Advanced Settings > Wi-Fi >
Security; see Wi-Fi Tab: Security Panel).
If Basic Rate is “802.11b/g compatibility” or “802.11g only,” these options are shown:
●
WPA-Personal — This is a strong security standard, supported by most Wi-Fi devices.
●
WPA2-Personal AES — This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to
newer Wi-Fi devices.
●
WEP-64 Bit — This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak. This option works
with older and newer Wi-Fi devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices
don’t support WPA or WPA2.
●
None — No security is used (no password is required to access the Wi-Fi network); this
setting is not recommended. Anyone may access your device and use your Internet
connection. (You are responsible for payment for data usage fees.)
If Basic Rate is “802.11b/g/n compatibility,” these options are shown:
●
WPA2 Personal - AES — This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to
newer Wi-Fi devices.
●
WPA/WPA2 Personal (recommended setting if any of your devices are more than two
years old) — Wi-Fi devices that use either WPA or WPA2 can connect to the Sierra
Wireless 4G LTE Tri Fi Hotspot. Most Wi-Fi devices support this type of security.
●
None — No security is used (no password is required to access the Wi-Fi network); this
setting is not recommended. Anyone may access your device and use your Internet
connection. (You are responsible for payment for data usage fees.)
If the above options don’t meet your requirements, click I don’t see what I want.... (This link
might not be displayed, depending on the Basic Rate setting.)
Expanded Wi-Fi Security Options
If you click I don’t see what I want... (from the Wi-Fi Security Options window during the device
setup), a window with an expanded list of Wi-Fi security options opens.
Note: All the devices used with the Sierra Wireless 4G LTE Tri Fi Hotspot must support the
selected security type.

Note: WPS is available only if you select either a WPA2 Personal option (including
WPA/WPA2 Personal) or (not recommended) no security. (See Connecting Through
WPS.)
Note: You can also view the expanded list of Wi-Fi security options in the Security panel of
the Wi-Fi tab of the Advanced Settings window. (See “Accessing the Advanced
Settings Window” in Advanced Settings.)
Some of the following options may be displayed, depending on the Basic Rate setting (see WiFi Tab: Security Panel):
●
None — No security is used (no password is required to access the Wi-Fi network); this
setting is not recommended. Anyone may access your device and use your Internet
connection. (You are responsible for payment for data usage fees.)
●
WEP 64 Bit - Shared — This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak. This
option works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices, and is recommended only if any of
your devices don’t support WPA or WPA2.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider
shared WEP to be less secure than open WEP.
●
WEP 128 Bit - Shared — This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak (but
stronger than WEP 64 Bit - Shared). This option works with older and newer Wi-Fi
devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices don’t support WPA or WPA2.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider
shared WEP to be less secure than open WEP.
●
WEP 64 Bit - Open — This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak. This option
works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices, and is recommended only if any of your
devices don’t support WPA or WPA2.
Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.
●
WEP 128 Bit - Open — This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak (but
stronger than WEP 64 Bit - Open). This option works with older and newer Wi-Fi
devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices don’t support WPA or WPA2.
Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.
●
WPA Personal - TKIP — This is a strong security standard that is supported by most
Wi-Fi devices.
●
WPA Personal - TKIP/AES — This is a strong security standard that is supported by
most Wi-Fi devices.

the network and manages other network configuration information for devices connected to your
network. You do not need to manually configure the IP address on each device that’s on your
network.
The assigned IP addresses are not permanent (as opposed to when using static IP).
Most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) use DHCP.
Normally, you should enable DHCP, in which case you must configure each device on the
network with one of the following:
●
TCP/IP settings set to “Obtain an IP address automatically.”
●
TCP/IP bound to the Ethernet connection with DHCP.
●
If DHCP is disabled, you must configure each device on the network with:
●

you have a local DNS server on your network.
If DNS Relay is disabled, the routing hardware rejects DNS requests targeting the
internal DNS proxy.
For information on DNS Relay, see LAN Panel: General.
Port Forward Panel: General
Normally, incoming traffic (from the Internet) is blocked. However, port forwarding lets you
forward incoming traffic to specific ports and devices (per their local IP address) on your
network.
For example, you can configure port forwarding so that:
●
You can access your Remote Desktop from the Internet (by specifying the WAN [public]
IP address that the device is using).
●
Internet users can access a Web, FTP, or email server, or gaming or Internet application
hosted by your computer.
Note: Port forwarding creates a security risk. When not required, port forwarding should be
disabled.
Note: Port forwarding does not apply to normal browsing, file downloading, running most
online games or other applications hosted on the Internet. (Some online games require
port forwarding.)
Before you can use or configure port forwarding, you must enable it, as explained in Port
Forward Panel: Enabling Port Forwarding.
From the Port Forward panel of the Router tab of the Advanced Settings window, you can:
●
Enable port forwarding for an application. (See Port Forward Panel: Enabling Port
Forwarding for an Application.)

Port Trigger Panel: General
Some applications require multiple ports open for communication, many of which may be
initiated by a computer on the WAN. Examples of this include video conferencing, VoIP (Internet
telephony), and Internet gaming.
With port triggering, the device monitors outgoing data on specific port numbers (trigger ports).
The device keeps track of the IP address of the computer that sends data on these trigger ports,
so that when incoming data on the forward ports arrives, the device sends the incoming data to
the same computer.
Before you can use or configure port triggering, you must enable it, as explained in Port Trigger
Panel: Enabling Port Triggering.
From the Port Trigger panel of the Router tab of the Advanced Settings window, you can:
●
Enable port triggering for specified protocols and ports. (See Port Trigger Panel:
Enabling Port Triggering for Specified Protocols and Ports.)

DMZ Panel: General
DMZ stands for “demilitarized zone.” You can select one computer to receive all unsolicited
incoming connections.
The IP address of the DMZ is the default recipient of incoming packets (from the Internet) that
are not handled by port forwarding rules, port triggering rules, or NAT’d connections:
1. If port forwarding, port triggering, or both are enabled, incoming traffic is routed
according to the port forwarding rules, port triggering rules, or NAT’d connections.
2. If incoming traffic was not routed as a result of the above:

If DMZ is enabled, then incoming traffic is routed to the computer that uses the IP
address specified by the DMZ settings.

If DMZ is not enabled, the incoming traffic is blocked.
Note: Putting a computer in the DMZ opens all the ports of that computer, and exposes that
computer to various security risks. Use this option only as a last resort — if possible, use
other options instead (for example, port forwarding or port triggering).
DMZ Panel: Enabling DMZ

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license
which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands
that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and
passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any
problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the
danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect
Legal
163
making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be
licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the
copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.
The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program”
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
“modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they
are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the
Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of
having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program
does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it,
in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to
this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a
copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option
offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work
based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of
Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the
modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any
change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part
contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c) If the modified program normally
reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you
provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and
telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive
but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not
required to print an announcement.)
Legal
164
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work
are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate
works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you
distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole
which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each
and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written
entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or
with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not
bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object
code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do
one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at
least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically
performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source
code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the
offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for
noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable
form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.
For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it
contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code
distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form)
with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the
executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated
place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source
along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the
Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
Legal
165
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing
else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of
this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient
automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on
the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other
reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,
agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you
from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royaltyfree redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance,
the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in
other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right
claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting
the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license
practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the
author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and
a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the
rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents
or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this
License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so
that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this
License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
Legal
166
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General
Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version
number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the
Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License,
you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution
conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving
the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS
WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF
THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER
OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public,
the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and
change under these terms.
Legal
167
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of
each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have
at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

Copyright (C)  
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the
GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of
the License, or (at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY;
without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if
not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 021101301 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive
mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type 'show
c' for details.
The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’ should show the appropriate parts of the
General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than
‘show w’ and ‘show c’; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign
a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program ‘Gnomovision’ (which
makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
, 1 April 1989
Ty Coon, President of Vice
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary
programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit
linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU
Library General Public License instead of this License.
