14 3.1.3 Hardware installation 1. Remove back panel and insert SIM card which was given by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Correct SIM card orientation is shown in the picture. 2. Attach LTE main and Wi-Fi antennas. 3. Connect the power adapter to the socket on the front panel of the device. Then plug the other end of the power adapter into a wall outlet or power strip. 4. Connect to the device wirelessly (SSID: Teltonika_Router) or use Ethernet cable and plug it into any LAN Ethernet port. SIM 1 (primary) SIM 2 (secondary)
15 3.2 Logging in After you’re complete with the setting up as described in the section above, you are ready to start logging into your router and start configuring it. This example shows how to connect on Windows 7. On windows Vista: click Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Centre -> Manage network Connections -> (Go to step 4). On Windows XP: Click Start -> Settings -> Network Connections -> (see step 4). You wont’s see “Internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4)”, instead you’ll have to select “TCP/IP Settings” and click options -> (Go to step 6) We first must set up our network card so that it could properly communicate with the router. 1. Press the start button 2. Type in “network connections”, wait for the results to pop up. 3. Click “View network connections” 4. Then right click on your wireless device that you use to connect to other access points (It is the one with the name “Wireless Network Connection” and has signal bars on its icon).
16 5. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click Properties 6. By default the router is going to have DHCP enabled, which means that if you select “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”, the router should lease you an IP and you should be ready to login. 7. If you choose to configure manually here’s what you do: First select an IP address. Due to the stock settings that your router has arrived in you can only enter an IP in the form of 192.168.1.XXX , where XXX is a number in the range of 2-254 (192.168.1.2 , 192.168.1.254 , 192.168.1.155 and so on… are valid; 192.168.1.0 , 192.168.1.1 , 192.168.1.255 , 192.168.1.699 and so on… are not). Next we enter the subnet mask: this has to be “255.255.255.0”. Then we enter the default gateway: this has to be “192.168.1.1”. Finally we enter primary and secondary DNS server IPs. One will suffice, though it is good to have a secondary one as well as it will act as a backup if the first should fail. The DNS can be your routers IP (192.168.1.1), but it can also be some external DNS server (like the one Google provides: 8.8.8.8).
17 Right click on the Wireless network icon and select Connect / Disconnect. A list should pop up with all available wireless networks. Select “Teltonika” and click connect.Then we launch our favorite browser and enter the routers IP into the address field: Press enter. If there are no problems you should be greeted with a login screen such as this: Enter the default password, which is “admin01” into the “Password” field and then either click Login with your mouse or press the Enter key. You have now successfully logged into the RUT955! From here on out you can configure almost any aspect of your router.
18 4 Operation Modes The RUT9xx series router supports various operation modes. It can be connected to the internet (WAN) via mobile, standard Ethernet cable or via a wireless network. When connecting to the internet, you may also backup your main WAN connection with one or two backup connections. Any interface can act like backup if configured so. At first router uses its main WAN connection, if it is lost then router tries to connect via backup with higher priority and if that fails too, router tries the second backup option. WAN Main WAN Backup WAN LAN Mobile √ √ x Ethernet √ √ √ Wi-Fi √ √ √ In later sections it will be explained, in detail, how to configure your router to work in a desired mode.
19 5 Powering Options The RUT9xx router can be powered from power socket or over Ethernet port. Depending on your network architecture you can use LAN 1 port to power the device. RUT9xx can be powered from power socket and over Ethernet simultaneously. Power socket has higher priority meaning that the device will draw power from power socket as long as it is available. When RUT9xx is switching from one power source to the other it loses power for a fraction of the second and may reboot. The device will function correctly after the reboot. Though the device can be powered over Ethernet port it is not compliant with IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard. Powering RUT9xx from IEEE 802.3af-2003 power supply will damage the device as it is not rated for input voltages of PoE standard. 5.1 Powering the device from higher voltage If you decide not to use our standard 9 VDC wall adapters and want to power the device from higher voltage (15 – 30 VDC) please make sure that you choose power supply of high quality. Some power supplies can produce voltage peaks significantly higher than the declared output voltage, especially during connecting and disconnecting them. While the device is designed to accept input voltage of up to 30 VDC peaks from high voltage power supplies can harm the device. If you want to use high voltage power supplies it is recommended to also use additional safety equipment to suppress voltage peaks from power supply.

Warning: If an invalid PIN number was entered (i.e. the entered PIN does not match the one that was used to protect the SIM card), your SIM card will get blocked. To avoid such mishaps it is highly advised to use an unprotected SIM. If you happen to insert a protected SIM and the PIN number is incorrect, your card won’t get blocked immediately, although after a couple of reboots OR configuration saves it will. 7.1.1.1.1 Passthrough mode Using Passthrough Mode will disable most of the router capabilities! DHCP mode: Static Enter your computer MAC address (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) to MAC Address field and select Lease time (expire time for lease addresses). Device, which MAC address will be entered, will get IP from GSM operator. Other connected devices to the router LAN will get IP from router DHCP server, but these devices will not have internet access. DHCP mode: Dynamic Using Dynamic mode, device will get IP from GSM operator , which connect to the router firstly. Using Passthrough in dynamic mode, the DHCP in LAN will be disabled. DHCP mode: No DHCP Using no DHCP mode, IP (also subnet, gateway and DNS) from GSM operator should be entered in device, which is connected to the router LAN, manually. Using Passthrough in no DHCP mode, the DHCP in LAN will be disabled.

56 7.2.2.2.1 Static Field name Sample value Explanation 1. Disable NAT On/Off Toggle NAT on and off. 2 Override MAC address 86:48:71:B7:E9:E4 Override MAC address of the WAN interface. If your ISP gives you a static IP address it might also bind it to your computers MAC address (i.e. that IP will only work with your computer). In this field you can enter your computers MAC address and fool the gateway in thinking that it is communicating with your computer. 3. Override MTU 1500 Maximum Transmission Unit – specifies the largest possible size of a data packet. 4. Use gateway metric 0 The WAN configuration by default generates a routing table entry. With this field you can alter the metric of that entry. 7.2.2.2.2 DHCP Field name Sample value Explanation 1. Disable NAT Enable/Disable If checked, router will not perform NAT (masquerade) on this interface 2 Use broadcast flag Enable/Disable Required for certain ISPs, e.g. Charter with DOCSIS 3 3. Use default gateway Enable/Disable If unchecked, no default route is configured 4. Use DNS server advertised by peer Enable/Disable If unchecked, the advertised DNS server addresses are ignored 5. User gateway metric 0 The WAN configuration by default generates a routing table entry With this field you can alter the metric of that entry 6. Client ID to send when Specify client ID which will be sent when requesting DHCP
57 requesting DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) 7. Vendor Class to send when requesting DHCP Specify vendor class which be sent when requesting DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) 8. Override MAC address 86:48:71:B7:E9:E4 Override MAC address of the WAN interface. If your ISP gives you a static IP address it might also bind it to your computers MAC address (i.e. that IP will only work with your computer). In this field you can enter your computers MAC address and fool the gateway in thinking that it is communicating with your computer. 9. Override MTU 1500 Maximum transmission unit – specifies the largest possible size of a data packet. 7.2.2.2.3 PPPoE Field name Sample value Explanation 1. Disable NAT Enable/Disable If checked, router will not perform NAT (masquerade) on this interface 2 Use default gateway Enable/Disable If unchecked, no default route is configured 3. Use gateway metric 0 4. Use DNS servers advertised by peer Enable/Disable If unchecked, the advertised DNS server addresses are ignored 5. LCP echo failure threshold 0 Presume peer to be dead after given amount of LCP echo failures, use 0 to ignore failures 6. LCP echo interval 5 Send LCP echo requests at the given interval in seconds, only effective in conjunction with failure threshold 7. Inactivity timeout 0 Close inactive connection after the given amount of seconds, use 0 to persist connection 7.2.2.2.4 IP Aliases IP aliases are a way of defining or reaching a subnet that works in the same space as the regular network.
58 As you can see, the configuration is very similar to the static protocol; only in the example a 99th subnet is defined. Now if some device has an IP in the 99 subnet (192.168.99.xxx) and the subnets gateway metric is “higher” and the device is trying to reach the internet it will reroute it’s traffic not to the gateway that is defined in common configurations but through the one that is specified in IP aliases. You may also optionally define a broadcast address and a custom DNS server. 7.2.2.2.5 Backup WAN configuration Backup WAN is function that allows you to back up your primary connection in case it goes down. There can be two backup connections selected at the same time, in that case, when primary connection fails, router tries to use backup with higher priority and if that is unavailable or fails too, then router tries the backup with lower priority. The majority of the options consist of timing and other important parameters that help determine the health of your primary connection. Regular health checks are constantly performed in the form of ICMP packets (Pings) on your primary connection. When the connections state starts to change (READY->NOT READY and vice versa) a necessary amount of failed or passed health checks has to be reached before the state changes completely. This delay is instituted so as to mitigate “spikes” in connection availability, but it also extends the time before the backup link can be brought up or down. Field Name Sample value Explanation
59 1. Health monitor Interval Disable/5/10/20/30/60/120 Seconds The interval at which health checks are performed 2. Health monitor ICMP host(s) Disable/DNS Server(s) /WAN GW/Custom Where to Ping for a health check. As there is no definitive way to determine when the connection to internet is down for good, you’ll have to define a host whose availability that of the internet as a whole. 3. Health monitor ICMP timeout 1/3/4/5/10 Seconds How long to wait for an ICMP request to come back. Set a higher value if your connection has high latency or high jitter (latency spikes). 4. Attempts before failover 1/3/5/10/15/20 How many checks should fail for your WAN connection to be declared DOWN for good. 5. Attempts before recovery 1/3/5/10/15/20 How many checks should pass for your WAN connection to be declared UP. 7.2.2.3 How do I set up a backup link? First we must select a main link and choose one or two backup links in WAN section. Then push the “Edit” button and configure your WAN and Backup Wan settings to your liking. Click Save and wait until the settings are applied. Now in the Status -> Network Information -> WAN page there should be a status indication for the backup WAN. If everything is working correctly you should see something like this: The above picture shows the status for Backup WAN configured on a wired main link. You can now simulate a downed link by simply unplugging your Ethernet WAN cable. When you’ve done so you should see this: And, if you plug the cable back in you should, again, see this:
60 7.3 LAN This page is used to configure the LAN network, where all your devices and computers that you connect to the router will reside. 7.3.1 Configuration 7.3.1.1 General Setup Field name Sample value Explanation 1. IP address 192.168.1.1 Address that the router uses on the LAN network 2 IP netmask 255.255.255.0 A mask used to define how large the LAN network is 3. IP broadcast IP broadcasts are used by BOOTP and DHCP clients to find and send requests to their respective servers 7.3.1.2 Advanced settings Field name Sample value Explanation 1. Accept router advertisements Enable/Disable If enabled allows accepting router advertisements (Disabled by default) 2. Override MTU 1500 MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) specifies the largest possible size of a data packet 3. Use gateway metric 0 With this field you can alter the metric of that entry 4. Use WAN port as LAN Enable/Disable Enable/disable WAN port using as LAN port
61 7.3.2 DHCP Server The DHCP server is the router side service that can automatically configure the TCP/IP settings of any device that requests such a service. If you connect a device that has been configured to obtain IP address automatically the DHCP server will lease an IP address and the device will be able to fully communicate with the router. 7.3.2.1 General Setup Field Name Sample value Explanation 1. DHCP Enable / Disable/ DHCP Relay Manage DHCP server 2. Start 100 The starting address of the range that the DHCP server can use to give out to devices. E.g.: if your LAN IP is 192.168.2.1 and your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 that means that in your network a valid IP address has to be in the range of [192.168.2.1 – 192.168.2.254](192.168.2.0 and 192.168.2.255 are special unavailable addresses). If the Start value is set to 100 then the DHCP server will only be able to lease out addresses starting from 192.168.2.100 3. Limit 155 How many addresses the DHCP server gets to lease out. Continuing on the above example: if the start address is 192.168.2.100 then the end address will be 192.168.2.254 (100 + 155 – 1 = 254). 4. Lease time 12 How long can a leased IP be considered valid. An IP address after the specified amount of time will expire and the device that leased it out will have to request for a new one. Select Hour or Minute (minimum 2min).
62 7.3.2.2 Advanced settings You can also define some advanced options that specify how the DHCP server will operate on your LAN network. 7.3.2.3 Static Leases This page is used to configure static IP leases. 7.3.2.4 IP Aliases 7.3.2.4.1 General Setup IP aliases are the way of defining or reaching a subnet that works in the same space as the regular network. Field Name Sample Value Explanation 1. Dynamic DHCP Checked/Unchecked Dynamically allocate client addresses, if set to 0 only clients present in the ethers files are served 2. Force Checked/Unchecked Forces DHCP serving even if another DHCP server is detected on the same network segment. 3. IP netmask You can override your LAN netmask here to make the DHCP server think it’s serving a larger or a smaller network than it actually is. 4. DHCP Options Additional options to be added for this DHCP server. For example with '26,1470' or 'option:mtu, 1470' you can assign an MTU per DHCP. Your client must accept MTU by DHCP for this to work. Field Name Sample Value Explanation 1. Hostname Printer Name which will be linked with IP address. 2. MAC address 10:a5:d0:70:9c:72 (192.168.1.104) Device MAC address 3. IP address 192.168.1.104 Device IP address

Depending on whether your WAN mode is set to Wi-Fi or not, the page will display either the options for configuring an Access Point or options for configuring a connection to some local access point.
64 Access Point: Here you can see the Overview of the wireless configuration. It is divided into two main sections – device and interface. One is dedicated to configuring hardware parameters other – software. Here you can toggle the availability of the wireless radio and the physical channel frequency. Important note: As seen in the picture you should always Save before toggling the radio on and off. SSID – Your wireless networks identification string. This is the name of your Wi-Fi network. When other Wi-Fi capable computers or devices scan the area for Wi-Fi networks they will see your network with this name. Hide SSID – Will render your SSID hidden from other devices that try to scan the area. Connect to WRP100 automatically – let Teltonika WRP100 wireless repeater connect to this router automatically. 7.4.1.1 Device 7.4.1.1.1 Advanced Settings Here you can configure more advanced parameters:
65 Field name Sample value Explanation 1. Mode Auto, b, g, g+n Different modes provide different throughput and security options. 2. Country Code Any ISO/IEC 3166 alpha2 country code Selecting this will help the wireless radio configure its internal parameters to meet your countries wireless regulations. 3. Transmit power 20%/40%/60%/80%/100% Select Wi-Fi signal power 4. Fragmentation threshold 2346 The smallest packet size that can be fragmented and transmitted by multiple frames. In areas were interference is a problem, setting a lower fragment threshold might help reduce the probability of unsuccessful packet transfers, thus increasing speed. 5. RTS/CTS Threshold 2346 Request to send threshold. It can help resolve problems arising when several access points are in the same area, contending. 7.4.1.2 Interface 7.4.1.2.1 Security Encryption – there are many modes of encryption, a distinctive classis pointed out below. First select an encryption method: TKIP, CCMP, TKIP&CCMP and auto. Note: Some authentication methods won’t support TKIP (and TKIP&CCMP) encryption. After you’ve selected your encryption method, you should enter your pass phrase, which must be at least 8 characters long. 7.4.1.2.2 MAC-Filter Filter – you can define a rule for what to do with the MAC list you’ve defined. You can either allow only the listed MACs or allow ALL, but forbid only the listed ones. 7.4.1.2.3 Advanced settings Separate clients – prevents Wi-Fi clients from communicating with each other on the same subnet.
66 Increase TTL packet size – increase TTL packet size for incoming packets. 7.4.1.3 Client RUT9xx can work as a Wi-Fi client. Client mode is nearly identical to AP, except for the fact that most for the options are dictated by the wireless access point that the router is connecting to. Changing them can result in an interrupted connection to an AP. In addition to standard options you can also click the Scan button to rescan the surrounding area and attempt to connect to a new wireless access point. 7.5 VLAN On this page you can configure your Virtual LAN settings, either Port based or Tag based. 7.5.1 VLAN Networks 7.5.1.1 VLAN Functionality Field Name Sample Value Explanation 1.

Interface name eth0 tap0 Specifies LAN interface name 7.6 Firewall In this section we will look over the various firewall features that come with RUT9. 7.6.1 General Settings The routers firewall is a standard Linux iptables package, which uses routing chains and policies to facilitate control over inbound and outbound traffic. Field Name Sample value Explanation 1. Drop Invalid packets Checked/Unchecked A “Drop” action is performed on a packet that is determined to be invalid
69 2. Input Reject/Drop/Accept DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the Input chain. 3. Output Reject/Drop/Accept DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the Output chain. 4. Forward Reject/Drop/Accept DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the Forward chain. *DEFAULT: When a packet goes through a firewall chain it is matched against all the rules for that specific chain. If no rule matches said packet, an according Action (either Drop or Reject or Accept) is performed. Accept – Packet gets to continue down the next chain. Drop – Packet is stopped and deleted. Reject – Packet is stopped, deleted and, differently from Drop, an ICMP packet containing a message of rejection is sent to the source of the dropped packet. 7.6.2 DMZ By enabling DMZ for a specific internal host (for e.g.: your computer), you will expose that host and its services to the routers WAN network (i.e. - internet). 7.6.3 Port Forwarding Here you can define your own port forwarding rules.
70 You can use port forwarding to set up servers and services on local LAN machines. The above picture shows how you can set up a rule that would allow a website that is being hosted on 192.168.1.109, to be reached from the outside by entering http://routersExternalIp:12345/.

Use with care! 7.6.5 Custom Rules Here you have the ultimate freedom in defining your rules – you can enter them straight into the iptables program. Just type them out into the text field ant it will get executed as a Linux shell script. If you are unsure of how to use iptables, check out the internet for manuals, examples and explanations. 7.6.6 DDOS Prevention 7.6.6.1 SYN Flood Protection SYN Flood Protection allows you to protect from attack that exploits part of the normal TCP three-way handshake to consume resources on the targeted server and render it unresponsive. Essentially, with SYN flood DDoS, the offender sends TCP connection requests faster than the targeted machine can process them, causing network saturation.

Limit “10” Maximum SSH connections during the period 4. Limit burst “5” Indicating the maximum burst before the above limit kicks in. 7.6.6.4 HTTP Attack Prevention HTTP attack sends a complete, legitimate HTTP header, which includes a 'Content-Length' field to specify the size of the message body to follow. However, the attacker then proceeds to send the actual message body at an extremely slow rate (e.g. 1 byte/110 seconds). Due to the entire message being correct and complete, the target server will attempt to obey the 'Content-Length' field in the header, and wait for the entire body of the message to be transmitted, hence slowing it down. Field Name Sample value Explanation 1. Enable HTTP limit Enable/Disable Limits HTTP connections per period 2. Limit period Second/Minute/Hour/Day Select in what period limit HTTP connections 3. Limit “10” Maximum HTTP connections during the period 4.

80 Field name Value Explanation 1. Routing table MAIN/WAN/WAN2/WAN3 Defines the table to use for the route 2. Interface MAIN/WAN/WAN2/WAN3 The zone where the target network resides 3. Destination address IP address The address of the destination network 4. Netmask IP mask Mask that is applied to the Target to determine to what actual IP addresses the routing rule applies 5. Gateway IP address To where the router should send all the traffic that applies to the rule 6. Metric integer Used as a sorting measure. If a packet about to be routed fits two rules, the one with the higher metric is applied. Additional note on Target & Netmask: You can define a rule that applies to a single IP like this: Target - some IP; Netmask - 255.255.255.255. Furthermore you can define a rule that applies to a segment of IPs like this: Target – some IP that STARTS the segment; Netmask – Netmask that defines how large the segment is. E.g.: 192.168.55.161 255.255.255.255 Only applies to 192.168.55.161 192.168.55.0 255.255.255.0 Applies to IPs in range 192.168.55.0-192.168.55.255 192.168.55.240 255.255.255.240 Applies 192.168.55.240 - 192.168.55.255 192.168.55.161 255.255.255.0 192.168.55.0 - 192.168.55.255 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 7.7.2 Dynamic Routes 7.7.2.1 General Dynamic routes provide dynamic routing which enables router to select paths according to real-time logical network layout changes.

84 7.8 Load Balancing Load balancing lets users divide traffic between different interfaces. 8 Remote monitoring and administration RUT9XX supports multiple monitoring and administration possibilities. One can get routers information through SMS or using RMS (Remote Management System). Furthermore, some system related parameters can be obtained using MODBUSD or MQTT publisher services. How to use them are described in the 9.19 and 9.20 chapters respectively. The main focus is on parameters, which change from time to time, like signal strength, operators name (it is quite common to change of operator name in countries where inner roaming is used) or module temperature. Although it is also possible to read more static values, like MAC address, router’s serial number and many others. The access to the mentioned parameters is implemented in both MODBUSD and MQTT publisher applications. Apart from getting of some parameters, MODBUSD also supports setting of some system related parameter, for example, change value of digital output. Although it sounds frustrating, this functionality is sometimes useful and necessary. Some applications, like MQTT publisher or RMS allows monitoring or administrating several routers from one place. It is very useful functionality, when you have few routers and would like to change some parameter using single application. RMS share some similarities with SSH (Secure Shell) and indeed, one of RMS feature is to allows SSH access to remote router. There is no separate chapter about RMS in this manual, because the interface of RMS is very intuitive and user friendly. You can access RMS by using your browser with supplied username and a password at http://rms.teltonika.lt By sending SMS to the router the user can execute some command, like reboot, switch wifi on or off and many others. With each SMS the user need to specify router’s administrator password. This is done for authentication purposes. The list of commands that may be executed through the SMS is limited. Full list of commands can be found on Services-SMS Utilities of routers WEB page. More about router’s management using SMS can found in chapter 9.8. Another interesting router monitoring solution is SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). By not going into deep details about this protocol, it is another manner to monitor router parameters. It allows the user to check current operator, modem model and other router parameters. Compared to other applications and services, only SNMP have ability to inform the user about the occurrence of specific event (called trap) in the system. The main drawback of this protocol is, that it does not allow to change anything. You can read more about SNMP in chapter 8.9.
85 Apart from services mentioned earlier, there is one service, which is used only for communication between router and Android type device (phones, etc’). It is called json-rpc and allows to set or get various parameters of the system. JSON-RPC can execute the same commands, like user through SSH. To sum up, this approach opens wide possibilities in communication between router and Android. However, there is no separate topic about JSON-RPC in this manual, because this type of communication is generally not for end-user use. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. In some situations, maybe MQTT publisher works better than MODBUSD, while in others, MODBUSD will be the better choice. The most versatile manner of system monitoring and administration is through SSH. The SSH provides complete control of the router. The user can execute commands, write shell scripts and do many other things. In such case, the user only needs application to connect router through SSH. The most popular application used in Windows type operating systems is called Putty. If you try to connect to router from Unix like operating system, you only need to execute ssh command with some arguments, like hostname and username (in this case – root). Sometimes the use of SSH is not necessary, so other more conservative services/applications are used. The complete list of applications and services, which can be used for router administration and monitoring are given below. It can be seen, that all applications, except MQTT publisher and SNMP supports setting/getting of some system related parameter.
86 Application Can obtain parameters Can set parameters 1. MQTT publisher  o 2. MODBUS daemon   3. SSH   4. RMS   5. SMS   6. SNMP  o 7. JSON-RPC   By summarizing, RUT9XX provides several solutions for router management. Each user can choose what solution to use. If required functionality is not found in particular service, the user can combine several applications, for example, use MQTT publisher along with SNMP. Finally, if user has special needs, he can write shell script and execute it via SSH or use json-rpc. 9 Services 9.1 VRRP 9.1.1 VRRP LAN Configuration Settings Field name Sample Explanation 1.
