1 Introduction
The MW3520 is a powerful IP router that is capable of transmitting data over several types of Wide Area Network.
The standard model features:
♦ 12V DC power supply
♦ 1 x ADSL interface
♦ 1 x ISDN BRI interface
♦ 5 x 10/100Mbps auto-sensing/auto MDI/MDX LAN port
♦ 1 x async/sync RS232 serial port
♦ 1 x async only RS232 serial port
Other models are available with an optional GPRS (wireless) and/or PSTN (analogue modem) interface.
The MW3410 is similar to the MW3520 but features four hub ports instead of five and only one serial port.
The unit can be configured either by using commands entered at the serial port (much like a modem), or via the
built-in Web interface. We recommend that you use the Web interface whenever possible.
In addition to many standard LAN and Internet protocols such as PPP, the MW3520 provides a combination of
powerful but easy to use configuration, management and diagnostic tools.
1.1 Front panel features
The MW3520 front panel, illustrated below, incorporates a number of LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicators.
These operate as described in the following table:
ON Illuminates red when power is applied.
LAN 0,1,2,3,4 Illuminate green when there is a network connection to the relevant LAN port and flash
when data is transmitted/received on that port.
Note that on the MW3410 the LAN 0 indicator is omitted.
ISDN The operation of this LED depends on how the unit is configured.
By default it will remain off to indicate that the unit is configured to show the ISDN status
on the next 3 LEDs.
On models fitted with the GPRS option and configured to show the GPRS status this
LED illuminates red.
ISDN D /
GPRS NET The operation of this LED depends on how the unit is configured and whether or not the
GPRS option is fitted.
If the unit is configured to show the ISDN status, it illuminates green when the ISDN
LAPD link is established. It will flash slowly when a D-channel X.25 link has been raised.
When the D-channel X.25 link is passing data, it will flash quickly.
If the unit is configured to show the GPRS status, it illuminates green when a GPRS
network has been detected.
ISDN B1 /
GPRS SIM The operation of this LED depends on how the unit is configured and whether or not the
GPRS option is fitted.
If the unit is configured to show the ISDN status, it illuminates green when ISDN B-
channel 1 is active. If data is being transmitted or received over this channel it will flash.
If the unit is configured to show the GPRS status, it illuminates green when a valid SIM
card is installed in the unit.
MW3520 Installation Guide
4
ISDN B2 /
GPRS DAT The operation of this LED depends on how the unit is configured and whether or not the
GPRS option is fitted.
If the unit is configured to show the ISDN status, it illuminates red when ISDN B-channel
1 is active. If data is being transmitted or received over this channel it will flash.
If the unit is configured to show the GPRS status, it will flash green to show that data is
being transferred over GPRS.
OH On models fitted with the PSTN modem option, this LED Illuminates green when the
modem has gone off-hook.
CD On models fitted with the PSTN modem option, this LED Illuminates green when the unit
has connected to a remote modem and asserted the Carrier Detect signal at the serial
port.
DAT On models fitted with the PSTN modem option, this LED flashes green when the unit has
connected to a remote modem and data is being transferred.
DTE Illuminates green if a terminal is connected to the serial port and the DTR signal is on. It
will flash when data is transmitted/received through the port.
SIGNAL On models fitted with the GPRS option, the OH, CD and DAT LED’s will illuminate to
show the GPRS signal strength when the unit is configured to show the GPRS status.
These LED’s will illuminate from left to right as the signal strength increases so that if all
three are illuminated the signal strength is high.
DSL
LINE Illuminates green when the unit has successfully established a DSL connection.
DSL
DATA Flashes green to show that data is being transferred over the DSL link.
1.2 The SIM socket
Models fitted with the optional GPRS module also feature a socket at the right hand side of the front panel. The
GPRS SIM card must be installed in this socket according to the instructions given under the heading Installing the
SIM card before the unit may be used to route data over a GPRS network.
If, when you ordered the router, you also took out a subscription to a mobile GPRS service through Sarian
Systems, the SIM card required to activate the service will already be installed in your unit. In this case the
installation procedure described below will not apply.
If you have NOT ordered your GPRS service subscription from Sarian Systems, your operator will provide you with
a “SIM” (Subscriber Identity Module) card.
1.3 Rear panel features
As illustrated below, the rear panel of the unit features a number of connectors.
The function of these are described in the following table:
This 3mm threaded stud at the right side of the rear panel should be used to connect the
case of the MW3520 to a suitable bonding earth point.
ADSL This RJ12 socket is used to connect the unit to an ADSL line socket.
PSTN This RJ12 socket is used to connect the unit to a PSTN line socket.
ISDN BRI This RJ45 socket is used to connect the unit to the ISDN network using the cable
supplied.
PORT
0 This 25-way “D” socket provides a sync/async serial port which may be used to connect
the router to a wide variety of terminal devices. The unit is supplied with a suitable 2
metre serial cable for asynchronous operation. For synchronous operation a custom
cable may be required.

PORT
1 This RJ45 socket provides an asynchronous serial port which may be used to connect
the unit to compatible serial devices. Suitable adapters and serial cables may be
purchased separately if required.
Note: On the MW3410 and on MW3520 models fitted with the GPRS option this Port is
not available.
LAN 0 This RJ45 socket is used to connect the unit to a 10/100-BaseT LAN using the 2-metre
cable supplied. The port is auto-sensing for speed and wiring (straight-through/cross-
over).
Note: On the MW3410 this port is not available.
LAN 1, 2, 3, 4 These RJ45 sockets are the “hub” ports that may be used to connect to other network
devices. All four are auto-sensing for speed (10/100-BaseT) and wiring (straight-
through/cross-over).
GPRS On models fitted with the GPRS option, this SMA connector is used to attach the dual-
band GSM stub antenna provided or a suitable approved alternative.

2 Installation.
The MW3520 is designed for indoor use (office or home). It should be positioned on a smooth, level surface
making sure that there is adequate ventilation. It should NOT be exposed to extremes of heat or cold, strong
magnetic fields or liquids.
Step 1 – Connecting a ground lead.
To comply with European ESD requirements the case of the MW3520 should be connected to a suitable bonding
earth point using the threaded M3 stud at the right side of the rear panel and a suitable cable.
Step 2 – Connecting the ADSL cable
Plug one end of the supplied 2 metre cable, or a suitable alternative, into the RJ12 socket labelled ADSL. Plug the
other end into the ADSL line socket.
Step 3 – Connecting the PSTN cable
If you have purchased your MW3520 with the optional PSTN module, plug one end of the supplied 2 metre cable
or a suitable alternative, into the RJ12 socket labelled PSTN. Plug the other end into the PSTN line socket.
Step 4 – Connecting the ISDN cable
Plug one end of the supplied 2 metre CAT5 cable, or a suitable alternative, into the RJ45 socket labelled ISDN.
Plug the other end into the ISDN line socket.
Step 5 – Connecting the serial cable(s)
Port 0 - plug one end of the supplied 2 metre serial cable into Port 0. The other end of the cable is fitted with a 9-
way “D” socket for connection to an asynchronous terminal. If you are intending to use this port in synchronous
mode you will need a different cable.
Port 1 – Connect the short (15cm) CAT5 cable to the RJ45 to 9-way “D” adapter (both supplied separately). This
may then be plugged into the socket labelled Port 1 to provide a 9-way “D” serial connector termination. You will
then need a suitable serial cable to connect this to your terminal.
Note: On the MW3410 and MW3520 models fitted with the GPRS, serial Port 1 is not available.
Step 6 – Connecting the LAN cable(s)
Plug one end of one of the supplied 2 metre CAT5 cables into the RJ45 socket labelled LAN 0. Plug the other end
into the LAN socket on your PC or notebook. The remaining CAT5 cables may be used to connect other network
devices to the LAN 1, 2, 3 and 4 ports as required.
Step 7 – Connecting the GPRS aerial (GPRS models only)
If you have purchased your MW3520 with the optional GPRS module, a dual-band GSM900/DCS1800 aerial is
supplied with the unit. This should be screwed onto the GPRS connector prior to operation. For desktop operation,
the unit is also supplied with a detachable “elbow” adapter. Using the aerial without this adapter allows it to be
mounted on a wall or other vertical surface using the keyhole slots provided in the base.
Note: The GPRS connector is a static sensitive port. Anti-static precautions should be taken when fitting or
removing the aerial from this connector.
In cases where signal reception is weak, it is permissible to use an external antenna and Sarian Systems can
supply a range of specialist antennas.
Step 8 – Installing the SIM card (GPRS models only)
If you have purchased your MW3520 with the optional GPRS module, you should insert your GPRS SIM into the
SIM cardholder via the access slot at the right side of the front panel. The contacts on the SIM card should be face
down and the end of the SIM card with the chamfered corner should be inserted first as illustrated below:
MW3520 Installation Guide

Step 9 – Connecting the power supply
Plug the jack plug on the mains adapter into the socket labelled 12V DC. Apply power and check that the ON
indicator on the front panel illuminates.
Once all of the above connections have been made the unit is ready to configure. This can be done using the built
in Web interface or by using the command line interpreter. Please refer to the chapter entitled “Using the Web
Interface” or “Using The Command Line Interface” in the Sarian Systems Web Interface and Command Line
Reference Guide as appropriate.
Note: By default PPP 1 is pre-configured for ADSL, PPP 2 is pre-configured for ISDN, PPP3 is pre-configured for
GPRS (when fitted) and PPP4 is configured for PSTN (when fitted).
