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.

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.

7.1 Mobile
7.1.1 General
7.1.1.1 Mobile configuration
Here you can configure mobile settings which are used when connecting to your local 3G/LTE network.
Field Name
Sample value
Explanation
1.
Connection
type
PPP / NDIS
PPP mode uses dialling number to establish data connection.
NDIS mode (default) does not use dialling and PPP protocol to
establish data connection it is usually faster than PPP mode.
2.
Mode
NAT / Passthrough / Use
bridge
NAT mode enables network address translation on router. Bridge
mode bridges LTE data connection with LAN. In this mode the router
does not have internet connection as ISP provides IP directly to end
device (PC, tablet or smart phone).Using Bridge mode will disable
most of the router capabilities and you can access your router's
settings only by using static IP address on your end device.
Passthrough mode is similar with bridge mode except that in
passthrough mode router does have internet connection.
3.

9.
Service mode
2G only, 2G preferred,
3G only, 3G preferred,
4G (LTE) only, 4G (LTE)
preferred or automatic.
Your network preference. If your local mobile network supports 2G,
3G and 4G (LTE) you can specify to which network you wish to
connect. E.g.: if you choose 2G, the router will connect to a 2G
network, so long as it is available, otherwise it will connect to a
network that provides better connectivity. If you select auto, then
the router will connect to the network that provides better
connectivity.
10.
Deny data
roaming
Enable/Disable
If enabled this function prevents the device from establishing mobile
data connection while not in home network.
11.
Use IPv4 only
Enable / Disable
If enabled this function makes the device to use only IPv4 settings
when connecting to operator.
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.

7.2.2 Common configuration
Common configuration allows you to configure your TCP/IP settings for the wan network.
You can switch between the Static, DHCP or PPPoE protocol by selecting the protocol that you want to use and
then pressing Switch Protocol.
7.2.2.1 General Setup
7.2.2.1.1 Static:
This is the configuration setup for when you select the static protocol.
Filed name
Sample
Explanation
1.
IPv4 address
192.168.99.162
Your routers address on the WAN network
2.
IPv4 netmask
255.255.255.0
A mask used to define how “large” the WAN network is
3.
IPv4 gateway
192.168.99.254
Address where the router will send all the outgoing traffic
4.
IPv4 broadcast
192.168.99.255
Broadcast address (auto generated if not set). It is best to leave this
blank unless you know what you are doing.
5.
Use custom DNS
servers
8.8.8.8
8.8.6.6
Usually the gateway has some predefined DNS servers. As such the
router, when it needs to resolve a hostname (“www.google.com”,
“www.cnn.com”, etc…) to an IP address, it will forward all the DNS
requests to the gateway. By entering custom DNS servers the router
will take care of host name resolution. You can enter multiple DNS
servers to provide redundancy in case the one of the server fails.
55
7.2.2.1.2 DHCP:
When you select the DHCP protocol you can use it as is, because most networks will not require any additional
advanced configuration.
7.2.2.1.3 PPPoE
This protocol is mainly used by DSL providers:
This is the configuration setup for when you select PPPoE protocol.

7.2.2.2 Advanced
These are the advanced settings for each of the protocols, if you are unsure of how to alter these attributes it is
highly recommended to leave them to a trained professional:
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

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:

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

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).

Sort
When a packet arrives, it gets checked for a matching rule. If there are several rules that
match the rule, the first one is applied i.e. the order of the rule list impacts how your firewall
operates, therefore you are given the ability to sort your list as you wish.
You can configure firewall rule by clicking edit button.

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.

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.

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.
