This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference, and
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
Reposition the receiver antenna or change the angle of the receiver antenna.
Increase the separation between the device and the receiver.
Connect the device to a different outlet on a different power supply cable from that to
which the receiver is connected.

4 Router Description
OWL LPWAN is an industrial cellular router intended for the North American market (NAM).
This router is designed for wireless communication in the mobile networks that make use of
traditional cellular technologies. The primary purpose of this router is its use in the Categor y
M1 (Cat M1) services on the cellular LTE network.
LTE Cat M1 is a new cellular technology specifically designed for the needs of applications
targeting the Internet of Things (IoT) or machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. LTE Cat
M1 is a low-power wide-area (LPWA) air inter face that lets you connect IoT and M2M devices
with medium data rate requirements (375 kbps upload and download speeds in half duplex
mode).
The standard configuration includes two Ethernet 10/100 ports, serial line RS232, RS485,
one binary input and one output. The device also has two readers for 3 V and 1.8 V SIM cards,
which are located on the left panel of the router. The router can be provided only in a metal
casing.
The OWL LPWAN router is equipped with a power backup feature. It is a short-term power
backup (maximum 15 seconds - depending on technology) which is used to complete the run-
ning operation or to send the required data immediately after failure of power supply.
Configuration of the router may be done via a password-protected Web interface. Web in-
terface provides detailed statistics about the router’s activities, signal strength, detailed system
log etc. The router supports the creation of VPN tunnels using IPSec, OpenVPN and L2TP to
ensure safe communication. DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, control by SMS, backup
primary connection and many other functions are supported.
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 which are started on various
actions. It is possible to create up to four different configurations for the same router. These
configurations can be switched whenever necessary via Web interface, SMS or binary input
status. 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.
