Hardware SetupThe Business Class II High Availability Router allows you to access your net-work using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Please note that location placement of the router could affect the wire-less signal and range limits.Typical ranges also vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (Radio Frequency) noise present in your networking environment. To maximize your wireless range, please follow these guidelines:1. Choose the right location in your environment for the 3G/4G Wireless Broadband Router. The WLAN transmitters are radios, and degrade as they go through walls, oors, and obstacles like tubs full of water (almost impenetrable), stone, or concrete. So for best reception, place your router centrally to the rooms in which you expect to use WLAN the most. Each wall or ceiling can reduce the Business Class II II High Availability Router’s range by as much as 90 feet (27 meters). NOTE: The same considerations apply to your carrier’s 3G/4G broadband carrier’s connection.2. Keep your product away from electrical devices (such as microwaves, air conditioners, cordless phones, refrigerators and televisions) that emit large quantities of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference).NOTE: DO NOT connect the Business Class II High Availability Router to power before following the in-stallation steps below!Business Class II High Availability Router Setup1. ExpressCard or USB connection:  a. Insert an activated ExpressCard into the card slot.  b. Alternatively, insert an activated USB modem into the USB slot.a. b.Hardware SetupThe Business Class II High Availability Router allows you to access your net-work using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within its operating range.

Insert     the other end into an available Ethernet port of the network adapter in the computer that will     be used to congure the unit.b. LAN LED should be on when connected. If not, check the connection between the router     and computer.NOTE: The Business Class II High Availability Router LAN Port is “Auto-MDI/MDIX”, so any standard Ethernet cable will work. 3. Power connection.a. Connect the power adapter to the receptor on the back         panel of the router. Plug the other end of the power         adapter into a wall outlet or power strip.b. The 3G & Wi-Fi LED will turn ON and ash,     indicating that the unit is powered on. Also performing       the boot-up cycle. The LAN and WAN lights will        be on if connected.c. The 3G/4G LED will ash and stabilize once a 3G/4G     connection is established.d. Upon completion of the boot-up cycle, the 3G light, LAN and Wi-Fi lights will be on.     Occational ashing may occur indicating normal activity.NOTES: An uninterruptable power supply (UPS) is recommended for power surges and/oroutages. At a minimum, a surge protector should always be used to protect theequipment from being damaged by electrical spikes and transients.Wi-Fi ConnectionIf you are connecting wirelessly to the Business Class II High Availability Router, you must ensure that the security settings on the connecting PC are the same as those on the router. By default, the router broadcasts a secure Wi-Fi signal with WPA-PSK* encryption:• SSID / Wi-Fi Signal Name is set to NEXWARE### (where ### equal the last three          characters of the router’s MAC address)• Channel is set to channel 5(2.4GHz)• Security is set to WPA-PSK*• Key (password) is set to passwordNOTE: It is recommended, for security reasons, that the security settings on the router be changed during initial setup.*Please refer to your computer’s Wi-Fi adapter documentation for additional information.2(ii).

Select Next to retain any         changes and move to the next step. 2) Congure your Wired Internet connection.a. During the boot up process of the router if your wide area network (WAN) Ethernet cable is plugged into the WAN port of the router, the router will auto-matically be connected to your ISP.b. If your ISP requires you to setup the WAN as a PPPoE or PPTP, you will need to enter your ISP’s required infor-mation into the proper elds.   i. PPPoE. Typical entries in-clude the Username and Password  ii. PPTP. Typical entries in-clude the Username, Password, and the PPTPServer Name. 3a) Congure your wireless settings.This step allows you to change whether the Wi-Fi is enabled, the channel on which the Wi-Fi     is broadcast on, the wireless mode (b,g,n or mixed), the name that is broadcast, the security and encryption type, and the key (password) to access the broadcasted Wi-Fi signal.• Disable only if you do not want anyone accessing the router wirelessly.• Change channel if other wireless devices are interfering with the router. By default the router will     auto-select the channel.• Select the wireless mode, choose from b,g,n or a mix. • The router’s mode is factory set to provide (Access Point)• Change the Network Name (ESSID) to whatever name you wish to be broadcasted• Hiding the ESSID does not disable the WiFi signal and should not be thought of as security setting.

  Hiding the ESSID only eliminates the name from being broadcasted.• Change encryption type as necessary. Some wireless devices cannot connect to all encryption modes.      The default setting is WPA-PSK. Other typical choices include WEP (ASCII or Hex), WPA=PSK, or    WPA2-PSK. Additional available settings require additional software or hardware not included with    this router.• Change Key (password). We suggest that this setting be changed. This setting controls the require Key    or password to access your wireless signal.• Choose to lter by MAC Address. 3b) 3G/4G Internet Connection Setup.a. During the boot up process of the router all compatible data cards are recognized and are setup au-tomatically. No additional information is typically required to complete the setup of your compatible 3G/4G data card.b. If your ISP requires additional information to connect to their network, please refer to their documen-tation for APN, PIN Code, Username, and Password. All data entry elds may not be required to con-nect to your ISP’s network.c.
