CHAPTER 1
Introduction
1.1 Overview
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the WAH3004.
The WAH3004 is a wireless router, which can connect to a mobile network and the Internet through
a wireless WAN connection and provide easy network access to mobile users without additional
wiring. You can set up a wireless network with other IEEE 802.11b/g/n compatible devices.
A range of services such as a firewall are also available for secure Internet computing.
Your WAH3004 is easy to install, configure and use. The embedded Web-based configurator enables
simple, straightforward management and maintenance. See the Quick Start Guide for how to make
hardware connections.
1.2 Ways to Manage the WAH3004
You can use the following way to manage the WAH3004.
WAH3004
Chapter 1 Introduction
WAH3004 User’s Guide
10
Web Configurator
The Web Configurator allows easy WAH3004 setup and management using an Internet browser.
This User’s Guide provides information about the Web Configurator.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the WAH3004
Do the following things regularly to make the WAH3004 more secure and to manage it more
effectively.
• Change the password often. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of
different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier
working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you
forget your password, you will have to reset the WAH3004 to its factory default settings. If you
backed up an earlier configuration file, you won’t have to totally re-configure the WAH3004; you
can simply restore your last configuration.
1.4 Hardware Connections
See your Quick Start Guide for information on making hardware connections. You need to insert a
SIM card before you can use the WAH3004.
1.5 LEDs
The following are the LED descriptions for your WAH3004.
Figure 1 WAH3004 LEDs
Chapter 1 Introduction
WAH3004 User’s Guide
11
None of the LEDs are on if the WAH3004 is not inserted properly and receiving power.
1.6 Resetting the WAH3004
If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need
to use the physical Reset button to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that
you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be reset to admin
and the IP address will be reset to 192.168.0.254.
1.6.1 How to Use the Physical Reset Button
1 Make sure the WAH3004 is receiving power and the LED is on.
2 Press the Reset button for longer than three seconds to set the WAH3004 back to its factory-
default configurations.
Table 1 LED Descriptions
LED COLOR STATUS DESCRIPTION
Wi-Fi Green On The wireless network is activated.
Blinking The WAH3004 is communicating with other wireless clients.
Off The wireless network is not activated.
Signal Green On The WAH3004 is registered and successfully connected to a 2G/3G
network.
Blinking The WAH3004 is sending or receiving data through the 2G/3G
connection.
Red On There is no SIM card inserted, the SIM card is invalid, the PIN code is
not correct or there is no service/signal.

The recommended screen resolution is 1024 x 768 pixels and higher.
2.2 Login Accounts
There are two system accounts that you can use to log in to the WAH3004: “admin” and “guest”.
These two accounts have different privilege levels. The web configurator screens vary depending on
which account you use to log in.
The admin accounts allows you full access to all system configurations. The default admin user
name is “admin” and password is “admin”.
With the guest account, you cannot access the WAN, Security and System screens except for the
System > About screen. The default username is “guest” and password is “guest”.
2.3 Access
