Each unit has three kinds of antenna connectors, these are, MAIN, GPS, AUX (SMA). For

ICR-W401, there are five antenna connectors, two for LTE antennas, two for Wi-Fi (RP-SMA)

antennas and one for GPS antenna. Connect the antenna to MAIN when you have only one LTE

antenna. Please tighten the connecting nut properly to ensure good connection.

CHAPTER 3.

WEB CONFIGURATIONS

3 Configuration via Web Browser

3.1 Access the Web Interface

The web configuration is an HTML-based management interface for quick and easy set up of the

Mobile Router. Monitoring of the status, configuration and administration of the router can be

done via the Web interface.

After properly connecting the hardware of Mobile Router as previously explained, launch your

web browser and enter http://10.1.1.1 as URL.

The default IP address and sub net-mask of the Mobile Router are 10.1.1.1 and 255.255.255.0.

Because the mobile router acts as DHCP server in your network, the mobile router will

automatically assign IP address for PC or NB in the network.

3.1.1 Logging in the Router

In this section, please fill in the default User Name admin and the blank default Password. Then

Click Login to enter the device. For the system security purposes, it is strongly recommended to

change Username and Password after the initial login.

After clicking, the interface shows Login ok. However, if this is your first time to login in to the

system (or defaults settings have been restored), the window will also show "For security reasons,

please change password first" message.

Then, you will be directed to Management > Administration page. Then you can assign new

password to Super User.

18

CHAPTER 3.

WEB CONFIGURATIONS

Enter the new Super User password and retype the password to confirm. Then, click Apply

button. The system needs a reboot to take new password into effect.

Note: After changing the User Name and Password, we strongly recommend that you save them

because another time when you login, new User Name and Password have to be used so

as to successfully login to the system.

3.1.2 Navigate the Web Configurator

The main screen is divided into three parts as below.

A -Title Bar, B - Navigation Panel and C - Main Window.

CHAPTER 3.

WEB CONFIGURATIONS

3.2 Status

When you enter the web configurator and have not logged in, the first item of main menu shows

your status as a guest. This status only allows you to view status page without any permission to

log in. The interface of main window displays information about the router, including Cellular

Attribute, the current connectivity of WAN Ethernet and LAN Ethernet. If the router has GPS

function, the GPS interface is shown.

Note: After logging in the system, you can set up the status of user and divide into three levels

for setting user’s authority, including Super User, Administrator, and Read Only. For Guest,

this status is without any authority. All users log in or log out and they need to have Web UI log

records.
