Router Description 3.1 Description The SPECTRE Cellular and Etherent industrial routers are used to wirelessly connect Ethernet equipment and other devices to the Internet or intranet. Thanks to the high data transfer speed of up to 100 Mbit/s download (LTE models) and 50 Mbit/s upload (LTE models), it is an ideal wireless solution for traffic and security camera systems, individual computers, LAN networks, automatic teller machines (ATM) and other self-service terminals. Datat transfer speed of 3G models is up to 14.4 Mbit/s download and up to 5.76 Mbps upload on HSPA+ network. The standard configuration includes one 10/100 Ethernet port, one USB Host port, one binary Input/output (I/O) port and one SIM card holder (LTE models). 3G models include second SIM card holder providing network redundancy. It also contains 2 expansion ports for connecting to other types of networks such as RS-232, RS-485/422, Digital/Analog I/O, or they can be configured to provide additional switched Ethernet ports. The function of each port is dependent upon the specific router model. Configuration of the router may be done via a password-protected Web interface. The router supports the creation of VPN tunnels using IPsec, OpenVPN and L2TP to ensure safe communication. The Web interface provides detailed statistics about the router’s activities, signal strength, etc. The router supports DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, control by SMS, and many other functions. The router provides diagnostic functions which include automatically monitoring the PPP connection, automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hardware watchdog that monitors the router status. The user may insert Linux scripts to control various router functions and create up to four different configurations for the same router. These configuration files can include different SMS functionality and binary input configurations. You may switch between different configurations whenever necessary. The router can automatically upgrade its configuration and firmware from your central server. This allows for mass reconfiguration of numerous routers at the same time. 3.2 • • • • • • • Examples of Possible Applications Mobile office Fleet management Security system Telematics Telemetrics Remote monitoring Vending and dispatcher machines 4 3.

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS 4. Mounting Recommendations • The router may be placed on a work surface. • Clips are included for mounting the router on a standard DIN rail. The router may be installed in an industrial instrument panel. For best performance, please consider the following guidelines: • When using the supplied whip antennas, maintain a distance of 6 cm from cables and metal surfaces on every side. When using an external antenna, unless in a switch-board, it is necessary to fit a lightning conductor • When mounting a router on sheet steel we recommend using an external antenna. • If the router is installed in a metal instrument enclosure, an external antenna must be used and it must be mounted outside of the metal enclosure. Figure 3: Space around antenna 9 4. MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS We recommend binding the cables together to avoid coupling noise onto the cables. 1. Length: The combination of power supply and data cables can be a maximum of 1.5 meters. 2. If the length of the data cables exceeds 1.5 meters or if the cable leads towards the switch panel, we recommend installing overvoltage protectors (surge suppressors). 3. Do not bundle the data cables with 120/230V power cables. 4. All wiring to sensors should use shielded twisted pairs. Figure 4: Cable routing Leave enough space around the connectors for the handling of cables. Figure 5: Space in front of connectors 10 4. MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS We recommend using the switch panel’s earth-bonding distribution frame for grounding the router’s power supply, data cables and antenna. Removing from DIN rail Figure 6: DIN rail clip This is the default position of the DIN rail clip. To remove the router from the DIN rail, push the router up slightly, so that the top part of the clip disengages, and then gently slide the router off the DIN rail.

Protection against reversed polarity is built into the router. The power consumption in receive mode is 2.3 W (LTE models) or 2.6 W (3G models). The peak power consumption during data sending (or communication running on RT models) is 5.5 W. For correct operation, the power source must be able to supply a peak current of 1 A. The power cable connects to the router via locking screws. (See figure below.) Figure 12: Connection of power supply connector Circuit Example: Figure 13: Connection of power supply 16 5. USER INTERFACES 5.4 Antenna Connector The two large cellular antennas are connected to the router using the standard SMA antenna connectors on the front panel. The main cellular antenna connection is labeled ANT. The router cannot operate without a main antenna. The receive diversity antenna connection is labeled DIV or AUX for 3G models). This antenna improves the receive sensitivity of the router and should be used in areas with weak signal strength. SPECTRE LTE: There are always connectors ANT and DIV for main and diversity cellular antenna. The antenna connector in the middle is based on the model number: There is GPS antenna connector as a standard, WIFI antenna connector (RP-SMA) for Wi-Fi models and AUX connector (RP-SMA) for SmartMesh IP models. SPECTRE 3G: There are always connectors AUX and DIV for main antenna and diversity/GPS antenna (the GPS mode is chosen internally by activating the GPS User Module in the router). There can be antenna connector in the middle based on the model number: WIFI antenna connector (RP-SMA) for Wi-Fi models and another AUX connector (RP-SMA) for SmartMesh IP models. SPECTRE RT: There is not any antenna connector as a standard. Based on the model number there can be AUX connector (RP-SMA) for SmartMesh IP antenna. The AUX connector on the Wi-Fi and SmartMesh IP units is a reverse-polarity SMA connector and should only be used with the smaller Wi-Fi/SmartMesh IP antenna. Do not attempt to connect the cellular antennas to this connector as it can damage the connector and the antennas. The router can not operate without main antenna ANT connected! Connect the antenna’s SMA connector to the router’s SMA connector. (See figure below). Figure 14: Connecting the antenna 17 5. USER INTERFACES 5.5 SIM Card Reader The SIM card reader supports 3 V and 1.8 V Mini-SIM cards. It is located on the front panel of the router. The router will not operate on UMTS or LTE networks unless an activated SIM card with an unblocked PIN is in the reader. The SIM cards may use different access point names (APN). Changing the SIM card: Disconnect the router from power supply before handling the SIM card! Press the small button on the right hand side of the SIM reader slot to eject the SIM card holder. Insert the SIM card into the holder and slide it in the reader. (See figure bellow.)

USER INTERFACES 5.11.2 RS-485/422 Ports The RS-485/422 ports can be powered using the internal 3.3 V supply or by connecting an external power supply to the port connector. External or internal power is selected by jumpers J2 and J3 on the RS-485 module daughter board. To use internal power, place jumpers J2 and J3 across pins 2 and 3. To select external power, jumpers J2 and J3 must be on pins 1 and 2. Interface behavior of module Expansion port RS-485/RS-422 can be made by wiring Jumpers J4, J5 and J6 on the RS-485 module select the mode of the port – either RS-485 or RS-422 mode. If RS485 is required, jumpers J4 and J5 must be connected and jumper J6 disconnected. If RS422 is required, jumpers J4 and J5 must be disconnected and jumper J6 connected. Jumper placement can be seen in the pictures below (RS-485 module is viewed from the top). Internal power supply should only be used in the event that it is not possible to provide an external power supply. If internal power supply used, RS-485/422 port will not be galvanically separated.

USER INTERFACES 5.11.3 12-bit I/O (AI, DI, DO) Port The 12-bit I/O port user interface (also referred to as CNT port – counter) is used to monitor analog and binary input signals and to control binary output signals. The interface has 6 inputs and 1 output. Two of the inputs can be configured as binary counter inputs or general purpose binary inputs. There are also 2 dedicated binary inputs, 2 analog current inputs, and 1 opencollector output. The options for the I/O port are configured by writing to register values on the I/O board using the MODBUS ASCII protocol. The unit can periodically store the values of the inputs in memory. These log entries can be read by reading the individual memory locations. Up to 224 log entries may be stored. The logging interval can range from 1–65535 minutes. Analog Inputs The analog current inputs have a range from 0 to 20 mA. The input impedance is 100 Ω and the ADC resolution is 12 bits. The averaging and sampling period may be adjusted by the user. Also, alarms thresholds may be set for each input. The ADC value stored in memory is calculated using the following equation: ADC Value = ((12b value + addit. constant) * multiplic. constant)/1000 where the constants are programmed into memory by the user. Binary Input The binary input is sampled 8x per second with a sampling period of 1/64 seconds. The active level for each binary input may be set to either a logic 0 or logic 1. The inputs may be configured to generate an alarm when they become active. The input threshold for detecting a logic 1 can be set at either 8 uA or 20 mA using a jumper on the module board. Counter Input The counter inputs have a maximum input frequency of 100 Hz. The minimum input pulse width is 1 ms. The counter input may be configured to generate an alarm when a threshold is reached. Binary Output The binary output is a transistor with an open collector output. In the inactive state (logic 0) the transistor is off. In the active state (logic 1), the transistor is on and will connect the output signal to ground (GND). The output transistor is rated at 100 mA and 30 V. The output may be configured to generate a pulse from 125 to 8000 ms in length. It is also possible to configure the unit so that the output will become active when counter 1 (CNT1) reaches a threshold. 27 5. USER INTERFACES Selecting the Binary Input Current The input threshold for detecting a logic 1 can be set at either 8 µA or 20 mA using a jumper on the module board. When jumper J4 is shorted, the threshold current level is 20 mA. When jumper J4 is not shorted, the threshold current level is 8 µA. A threshold current value of 20mA has a higher resistance to noise on the input but also dissipates more power.

RESET OR REBOOT 6. Resetting or Rebooting the Router It is important to distinguish between resetting and rebooting the router. Action Reboot Router Behavior Turn off and then turn on router Reset Restore the factory default configuration and reboot the router. Actions Disconnect and connect the power. OR Press the reboot button in the Web configuration page (page Reboot). Press RST button. Table 23: Ways to reset or restart the router After the green LED starts to blink you may restore the router’s initial settings by pressing button RST on front panel. The router will restore its factory default configuration and reboot (The green LED will be on). To reset, use a narrow screwdriver. (See figure below.) Figure 34: Router reset We recommend backing up your router configuration before resetting. (See the separate configuration manual). A router reset will erase your configuration and return the router to its default settings. 36 7. FIRST USE 7. First Use Before you can set up the router you will need to make all of the necessary connections. The router cannot operate without a connected antenna, SIM card (for UMTS networks), and a power supply. Operating the router without an antenna can damage the router. Figure 35: Connecting the router before the first use 37 7. FIRST USE 7.1 Starting the Router Connect power to the router. In the default setting the router will start to login automatically to the preset APN. The Ethernet port DHCP server will assign device addresses. The behavior of the router can be modified by means of the Web, Telnet or SSH interface, as described in the Configuration manual. The power consumption in receive mode is 2.3 W (LTE models) or 2.6 W (3G models). The peak power consumption during data transmission is 5.5 W. For correct operation the power source must be able to supply a peak current of 1A. 7.2 Configuring the Router Attention! The cellular carrier and network must be configured in the router prior to use. For UMTS and LTE networks, the router will not operate without a SIM card. The SIM card must be provisioned for the necessary network (LTE/HSPA+/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS). For 3G CDMA networks, the router is provisioned over-the-air. Refer to the Configuration manual for details on configuring the router based on the cellular carrier and network. If the router cannot establish a connection to the cellular network, it tries to reconnect. The retry interval prolongs with more retries. First two retries are done after 1 minute. Then the interval prolongs to 2, 8 and 15 minutes. The ninth and every other retry is done in 90 minutes interval. Configuration over Web browser Monitoring of the status, configuration and administration of the router can be done via the Web interface. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1.

TROUBLESHOOTING 9. Troubleshooting 9.1 FAQ Q. I have NAT enabled. My equipment is not connecting to the network. The device’s gateway has to be configured as the router. Q. The router resets itself and the Ethernet connection fails. The router will not function without an antenna. Keep the antenna as far as possible from the power supply. Q. I can’t access the Web server over NAT. The remote http access of the router has to be disabled, the default server address has to be your web server and the gateway of the web server has to be the IP of the router. Q. PPP connection fails. (DAT LED off) Check signal power. If signal power is weak you will need a better antenna. If the neighboring cells have a similar signal strength, you will need to use a directional antenna. For proper operation, the signal levels have to be in the range from -50dBm to -90dBm. It is necessary to set ping, which will check the connection and, in the case of failed ping, restart the connection. Q. PPP connection cannot be established. (DAT LED off) • Recheck GPRS settings - APN, name, password and IP address. • Try to enter PIN – verify if the SIM card has the PIN code set. • In a private APN, switch the DNS server send off. • Switch the system log on and observe where the error occurs. Q. FTP doesn’t function. Router doesn’t support active FTP mode. It supports passive mode only. Q. RS-232 doesn’t function. Verify that the router supports RS-232 communications. Also verify the RS-232 communication settings. To do so, open the router’s configuration menu via the web browser, select the appropriate expansion port and verify the settings in the configuration menu. Q. L2TP or IPSec isn’t establishing. Check the system log for error messages. Q. I switched the router to offline mode by SMS message, but the router is in online mode after restart. SMS messages do not change the router configuration. They remain in effect only until the router is restarted. 45 10. CUSTOMER SUPPORT 10.
