1.6 Understanding the LED signals

The device has 16 LEDs to assign the modem’s current status, the communication, connection. These LEDs are located in four groups: - Operation status LEDs (Group A) o MOC – Power source connected / mains on o WL – The modem has started o LADOWANIE SUPERCONDENSATORA (in case of exhausted super-capacitor part which shows the process of the recharge – when the charge has been finished, the LED will be blank again) - Connectivity LEDs (Group B) o 4G-WAN – wireless network connection and access o USB connection (on the micro USB port) o BLAD – for sign possible failures, kernel-level events, stand-by mode - Cellular network signal strength indication LEDs (Group C) o signal 1 to signal 4: wireless signal reception (higher is better) - Data connections and activity LEDs (Group D) o RS485 TX - connection and activity (data transmitted) - on the RJ12 connector o RS485 RX - connection and activity (data received) - on the RJ12 connector o Pamiec – memory activity (data read, write in the non-volatile memory) The power indication group (group A) and signal level leds (group C) are is fixed, but the other 9 LEDs (group B and group D) are reconfigurable. D C A B

Installing the modem

2.1 The very first startup The modem has a super-capacitor part inside, which protect the device against possible shorter power outages. It can also provide RTC backup for the device, up to 2 days. Therefore, this supercap component can be charged and it can be exhausted after an outage or if you store the modem for months without connecting power source or using. Start the device by the adding the AC power (No. 1) or DC power (via USB port at No. 2) source and pushing the Reset button (No. 5) for 2 seconds by a sharp object (e.g. by a pen) – while the ON led will be also active (the PWR and ON leds are lighting by green colour) – then you can release the Reset button. Then the modem will start immediately and charging the supercapacitor (LADOWANIE SUPERKONDENSATORA led will be also active – by yellow colour). Next time you don’t need to push the Reset. You can stop it by removing the power source and start it by adding the power source. 2.2 Normal startup The modem has a pre-installed system (which contains the device firmware and the pre-configured OpenWrt® system). After adding the power source to the modem, you will just need to configure some necessary and unique settings for your SIM card, network access, and some other required connection parameters.

Start the modem by the following sequence.

1. Ensure that you have inserted an activated SIM card into SIM holder (No. 3) in the right position. The usage of SIM holder is obligatory for using the wireless communication. 2. Ensure that antenna is mounted to the SMA interfaces (No. 6). 3. After plugging the AC power source (No. 1), the modem begins to perform booting – the LED signals are always showing the current activity during the operation. The system start needs about 40-50 seconds while it will be ready for usage, network communication. 4. During the boot, the modem begins to operate, whereas its LED signals are showing the current activity during the operation. During the boot sequence: a.) The MOC (power) and WL (ON) leds are also active (lighing by green). b.) Then the first two connection LEDs are (untitled ont he following figure) ligthing for ~10 seconds during the firmware start. c.) Then the 4G-WAN, USB leds will be also flashing for 30 seconds during the boot process.

d.) At the end of the boot process, only the 4G-WAN, USB leds will be flashing for 5-10 seconds.

e.) When the connectivity LEDs are not blinking anymore the load of the system has been finished. f.) The SILA SIGNALU (SIGNAL LEVEL) low LED(s) are blinking which means the modem tries to connect to the wireless network. If it was configured properly (APN, password and SIM PIN is matching) and the network registration was also succesful, the 4G-WAN led will be lighting with the SIGNAL LEVEL leds will be also lighting (by signing the current wireless signal strength). This means that the modem is already connected to the cellular network and it has enough wireless signal reception for the usage and wireless data transmitting. g.) If you already connected the USB cable, the USB led will be active.

h.) The RS485 RX led (in case of meter data receive) or the RS485 TX led (in case of sending

data to the meter) will be active – which signs the data traffic, modemmeter activity. When the USB led is active during the load of the system, this signs that the device is already accessible on its USB interface – it is possible for you login at the LuCi® web user interface (or connect to the modem via SSH). 2.3 Local access via USB connection 1. Download, unpack and install the USBLAN driver for using the USB connection: https://www.m2mserver.com/m2m-downloads/USB_Ethernet_RNDIS_DRIVER.zip 2. After you’ve connected the USB to micro-USB cable, you can add the driver in the Windows® / Start / Control Panel / System / Device Manager. Find the Network Cards, extend it and you will found the „USB Ethernet / RNDIS Gadget”. Double click on the entry and choose the Driver tab, and the Refresh button, then browse the uncompressed file’s directory then Install the driver.) 3. Build a connection between the PC and the modem with a microUSB-to-USB cable. 4. Configure the USB-Ethernet interface IP address on your PC for the „USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget” and setup the next fixed ipv4 address: 192.168.10.10, subnet mask is: 255.255.255.0 – connect these settings. (You can ping the device through the USB connection on its IP address.) 5. The USBLAN interface IP address is 192.168.10.1 For connecting to the modem on web interface use the https://192.168.10.1 URL.

2.4 Web user interface and Login

1. The modem’s local web user interface (LuCi®) is reachable through the Ethernet or USB interface – on the default addresses. 2. Enter the default web user interface (LuCi®) of the modem. The USB web interface default URL is: https://192.168.10.1 3. Use the Mozilla® browser! In your browser window you will get a security risk message. Ignore the security message and choose the Advanced option here. 4. Then click on the Accept the Risk and Continue button to access the modem webpage. Attention!

Username and Password fields and click on the Login button for the entry.  Username: root  Password: wmrpwdM2M

2.5 SSH access

The modem can be accessed through SSH connection, when it is available on its IP address – by a terminal utility (e.g. the putty tool). Putty is a free tool which can be downloaded from the following URL: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html The modem can be accessed on SSH at the 192.168.10.1:22 (port nr. 22 - on USB interface). Allow to acccess the device, ignore the security breach message in your computer in the pop-up window. Choose Accept (Yes) at the Putty or other SSH terminal’s Security Alert of the RSA2 key of the modem to allow and trust the connection – by security reasons. SSH login data:  Login as: root  Password: wmrpwdM2M Now you are logged into the OpenWrt®’s Linux command line. The operating system uses the embedded Micro uCLinux, kernel 4.4 version, therefore you can use standard and compatible Linux commands – if you want. 2.6 Wireless access Before using the wireless access you need to setup the SIM card’s current APN properties at the OpenWrt® web interface. You have to configure these settings (SIM and APN) for connecting to the wireless network properly.

1. Choose the Network / Interfaces menu, WAN interface, Edit button.

2. Add the SIM #1 APN (APN setting of your SIM card)

3. If you have PIN code on the SIM card that you are using, add the right PIN here. (Ask your

Mobile Operator about the SIM info.) 4. If that is necessary to use username (SIM #1 PAP/CHAP username) or password (SIM #1 PAP/CHAP password) for the wireless network access, consult with your mobile provider and change the settings here, please. 5. Check that Protocol must be PPP-4G - if its not configured, choose this and push to the Switch protocol button and configure the APN, SIM settings. 6. In case of roaming change the Mobile country code (MCC) settings to the related country code please. 7. If you are attempting to use a dedicated cellular network, configure the MNC field (Mobile network code) please, according the needs. You will found the current valid and useable MCC / MNC settings on this official website: https://www.mcc-mnc.com/ 8. Click on the Save & Apply button to store the settings and configuring APN for the modem. 9. Soon the wireless module will be configured regarding the settings. Now the modem will try to connect and register the SIM card to the network. The availability of the mobile network is assigned by the 4G-WAN LED (lighing by green). 10. When it has sucessfully registered to the given APN, the 4G-WAN LED will lighting by green and the SILA SIGNALU (SIGNAL LEVEL) will be also signed according to the signal reception (it is lighing by green).

If the module with the SIM card was connected, the module is immediately generating data

traffic on the network where the Rx/Tx values will be continously growing/changing for the Interface status at the Interfaces / Interface Overview part for the WAN interface. This means that the wireless Internet connection (4g-wan) is already active. 2.7 LED indication The default LED signal indication is listed here. The B-D group of LEDs can be changed if you need in the OpenWrt® web interface.

The modem’s MOC (Power) LED will ligting by green and then the WL (ON) LED will also lighting by green colour when the system has started. There should be LED activity on the USB interface – if you are connected by USB cable with your PC. When the wireless network registration was successful and the modem is operating on the 4G network, the 4G-WAN LED should is also active (lighing by green). No Power supply / Power supply removed / Power line outage If the DC power supply was removed or in case of a detected electricity / power outage, after min. 5 seconds the modem will be disconnecting all interfaces, file systems and will be halted.

This plus operation time is possible due to the internal super-capacitor component – which

provides safe backup power for short time outages. During the shutdown process only the WL (ON) LED will be lighting by green, but the MOC (Power) LED will be blank. When the shutdown process has been finished, all LEDs will be inactive. Replug power input, connect power supply / Stabilizing the power In case of providing the power source (replugging the power supply) or stabilizing the outage of the power source, the modem will getting enough power again and automatically starting. During these the MOC (Power) and WL (ON) LEDs will be active (ligthing by green). Because the supercapacitor was used previously, it needs to be charged - therefore the LADOWANIE SUPERKONDENSATORA led will be also active during the charging process (ligthing by yellow).

2.9 Service features

The modem has various service features which can be controlled manually - just for the case – which can be initiated by pushing the Reset button (no. 5). By any reason, if you need to stop or start the device immediately or you cannot login into the system, you can start or stop it manually here. It is useful when the modem was misconfigured or the installation process failed, IP address or the password was loosen. Here we’ve listed all Service features of the Reset button which can be selected by manually. Push RESET Legend LED / signal 2 sec START the modem (when it was stopped before, AND the device has power source) the WL (ON) led will lighting (green) 6 sec Power off / STOP the device (if it was operating) all LEDs will inactive, only the MOC (Power) led is active (green) 4 sec SERVICE MODE MENU of the modem (if the device is operating) – the menu is active for 1 minute the BLAD led will lighting by red, while the service mode is active The modem Service menu has 4 modes (the menu is active for 1 minute only, while you can be select a mode from the menu by pushing the Reset button until 1sec). The following modes can be selected from the menu, here: - MENU ITEM 0 (no short push) – reboot - MENU ITEM 1 (1x short push) – restoring the default configuration - MENU ITEM 2 (2x short push) – restoring the factory configuration - MENU ITEM 3 (3x short push) – exit from menu

Then after the selection, the choosed menu item number is flashed by the BLAD led (e.g. flashing

twice in case of selecting the MENU ITEM 2). Then you need to confirm the choosen menu item for executing by a longer 6sec Reset push. Some examples: a.) RESTART the modem: - The modem must be operating - Push the RESET button for 4sec (entering the service mode) – BLAD led is lighting (red) - Push the RESET button again for 6sec (selected: mode 0 (restart) and confirm your selection) - The modem will restarts itself immediately b.) Restoring the DEFAULT configuration to the modem: - The modem must be operating - Push the RESET button for 4sec (entering the service mode) – BLAD led is lighting (red) - Push the RESET button again once for 1sec (selected: mode 1 (restoring default config)) - BLAD led (red) is flashing once per second - Push the RESET button again for 6sec (confirm your selection) - The modem will delete the current configuration and restoring the default configuration and restarting itself with loaded default configuration – if the default config doesn’t exists, it is restoring the factory config. c.) Restoring the FACTORY configuration to the modem: - The modem must be operating - Push the RESET button for 4sec (entering the service mode) – BLAD led is lighting (red) - Push the RESET button again twice for 1sec with a short pause (selected mode: 2 (restoring factory config)) - BLAD led (red) is flashing twice per second - Push the RESET button again for 6sec (confirm your selection) - The modem will delete the current configuration and restoring the factory configuration and restarting itself with the original configuration.

2.10 Alternative installation of the OpenWrt® system

By default, we deliver the Pro4 Modem device with the pre- installed OpenWrt® system. But, if it is necessary, the device can be reinstalled from a connected USB stick, through an OTG cable (micro-USB to USB-A). The device firmware must be written to a USB drive/stick by the Win32 Disk Imager tool. The software can be downloaded from its website: https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ Download the device firmware - uSD installer version - from our website and unpack the file (uncompress the file which now has.img extension): https://www.m2mserver.com/m2m-downloads/Pro4_PGE-Modem-NKM_uSD_Installer.202002071.zip Start the Win32 Disk Imager tool and browse the unzipped IMG (image) file on your computer, select the USB device’s drive name (be careful at selection because all content will be stored from the selected drive!) and push the Write button. The image file will be stored on the USB stick. Connect the USB stick to a the cable to the modem device and power on the modem.

Important! The modem has been uploaded by a pre-configured system. Check the configuration, and if the settings are not match with your expectations, please change the configuration settings and save them. The modem will be automatically apply your settings. When you have logged in, at the startup screen (Status/Overview) the web interface can be seen with all relevant information and the current status of the modem. The M2M Software version should be 202002071 or newer. If it has an older version, then refresh the firmware, please. (Check the User Manual for further steps).

You have to configure the 4G connection and APN/password (for SIM).

SIM/APN settings: In the OpenWrt menu, choose the Network / Interfaces menu, WAN interface, Edit button. 1. Ask your Mobile Operator about the SIM card information. 2. Add the SIM #1 APN settings according the SIM card info – ask with your mobile provider. 3. Check and add the PIN settings and username, password settings if you have to use them on the current cellular network (if your SIM card using these). 4. Store the wireless network settings by the Save & Apply button. 5. Soon the wireless module will be configured regarding the settings. If the module with the SIM card is operating network traffic Rx/Tx values will be continously growing/changing at Interface status: Interfaces / Interface Overview part, wher WAN interface means the public wireless Internet connection (as lte-wan) – which assigns the physical 4G module. Important! In case of network outage, the wireless and wired data and interface connections, sessions will be reconnected as the power source estabilished and the network is reachable. IP settings: 1. By default the device IP address is static, the default IP address is: 192.168.10.1. 2. If you want to switch the USB-LAN interface (usb0) at network settings - at the EDIT part - to dynamic (at Protocol field), then the modem will waiting for an IP address on the network. 3. If you want to use the local DHCP server – to allow to add IP addresses by the modem for the connecting external networking devices – then the right setting is the Static Address, and the IP address should be also changed, and you have to uncheck the DHCP disabled optionfor the USB-LAN interface to allow the DHCP server. 4. In case of using DHCP server, you can define the IP range (Start, Limit) and you can define IPv4 netmask for your network. 5. When changing the Protocol field, you will need to push the button. Save your settings by the Save & Apply button. Then the bridged USB-LAN interface IP address will be changed according your request due to the new settings. 6.
