1.5 Important notes
The modem has 4G wireless transmission capabilities and 2G/3G fallback in case of the
unavailability of the 4G network. In this case, the device will operating on the 3G or 2G
network. When the 4G network will be available again, the device will switch back to the 4G
network. This feature is configurable for the WAN interface of the device.
You have to use the LTE antenna for the sake of a stable wireless network operation. You
can check the current signal reception and wireless availability in the OpenWRT® / LuCi®
system’s Overview menu.
The available APN settings will be assured by the SIM card provider mobile operator or your
mobile internet service provider. Ask them about APN, password, SIM PIN and further
necessary information for the configuration.
When configuring the SIM #1 APN or PIN settings, after the saving, the modem will not
restart its module automatically with the new settings. You need to restart the modem by
the Restart WAN button in the OpenWrt® menu at Network / Interface settings.
The utility meter readout through the RS485 port is possible only by using and connecting
IEC1107, DLMS compatible (IEC 62056-21, IEC 62056-31 supported) devices.
You have to configure the RS485 meter connection settings at the Network/IEC scheduler
menu item.
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.

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, modemmeter 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:

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.

2.8 Power On / Super-capacitor charging mode
Normal operation (AC or DC power supply connected)
The normal usage is assigned, when you are adding power supply to the 100..240V AC or
12..24V DC (USB) connector.
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 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.
The modem will install the device from the USB stick – which will be signed by the device’s led
signals. After the installation it will reboot. Remove the OTG cable and the USB stick and connect
the normal micro-USB to USB cable to your PC and the modem, and configure the modem.
3. Modem configuration (main important settings)
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. Further detailed settings can be found in the User Manual document.
