Appendix A: Restoration of Factory Defaults To restore the factory default settings on a Pepwave router, follow the steps below: 1. Locate the reset button on the front or back panel of the Pepwave router. 2. With a paperclip, press and keep the reset button pressed. Note: There is a dual function to the reset button.
Appendix B: FusionSIM Manual Peplink has developed a unique technology called FusionSIM, which allows SIM cards to remotely link to a cellular router. This can be done via cloud or within the same physical network. There are a few key scenarios to fit certain applications. The purpose of this manual is to provide an introduction on where to start and how to set up for the most common scenarios and uses. Requirements 1. A Cellular router that supports FusionSIM technology 2. SIM Injector 3.
Setup topology This is the most basic scenario in which the SIM Injector is connected directly to the cellular router’s LAN port via an ethernet cable. This allows for the cellular router to be positioned for the best possible signal. Meanwhile, the SIM cards can be conveniently located in other locations such as the office, passenger area, or the bridge of a ship. The SIM Injector allows for easily swapping SIM cards without needing to access a cellular router.
1a. If you are using a Balance cellular router, go to the Network tab (top navigation bar). 1b. If you are using a MAX cellular router, go to the Advanced tab (top navigation bar). 2. Under Misc. settings (left navigation bar) find Remote SIM Management. 3. In Remote SIM Management, click on the edit icon next to Remote SIM is Disabled. 4. Check the Auto LAN discovery checkbox and click Save and Apply Changes. 5. Click Save and then Apply Changes. Step 2.
A. Defining SIM Injector(s) - Format: - Example 1: 1111-2222-3333 - Example 2: 1111-2222-3333 4444-5555-6666 B. Defining SIM Injector(s) SIM slot(s): - Format: - Example 1: 1111-2222-3333:7,5 (the Cellular Interface will use SIM in slot 7, then 5) - Example 2: 1111-2222-3333:1,2 1111-2222-3333:3,4 (the cellular Interface will use SIM in slot 1, then in 2 from the first SIM Injector, and then it will use 3 and 4 from the second SIM Injector).
Setup topology In this scenario, each HD Dome creates a WAN connection to the main router. A single SIM Injector is used to provide SIM cards for each HD Dome. The HD Dome can be replaced with any Peplink cellular router supporting RemoteSIM technology. This scenario requires the completion of the configuration steps shown in Scenario 1 in addition to the configuration steps explained below. Additional configurations for Cellular Routers Step 1. Disable the DHCP server.
Step 2. Ethernet port configuration The Ethernet port must be set to ACCESS mode for each HD Dome. To do this, dummy VLANs need to be created first. 1. Go to Network (Top tab), then Network Settings (Left-side tab), and click on New LAN. This will open the settings page to create a dummy VLAN. 2. The image below shows the values that need to be changed to create a new VLAN: Note: set different IP addresses for each HD dome (e.g. 192.168.10.1 and 192.168.10.2). 3. Click Save and Apply Changes. 4.
Configuration requirements for the main Router Requirements for the main router are: - Configure WAN 1 as a DHCP client. - WAN 1 will automatically get the Gateway IP address from HD Dome 1. - Configure WAN 2 as a Static IP and set it to 192.168.50.12. - Configure WAN 2 Gateway to 192.168.50.2. Same as the HD Dome 2’s IP address. https://www.peplink.
Scenario 3: SIM Injector in LAN of main Router and multiple Cellular Routers Setup topology In this scenario, SIMs are provided to the HD Domes via the main router. In this example, the Remote SIM Proxy functionality needs to be enabled on the main router. Notes: - HD Dome can be replaced with any other cellular router that supports RemoteSIM. - It is recommended to use Peplink Balance series or X series routers as the main router. https://www.peplink.
This scenario requires the completion of the configuration steps for the cellular router and the SIM Injector as in Scenario 1. The configuration for the main router is explained below. Main Router configuration IMPORTANT: Main router LAN side and Cellular Routers must be configured using different subnets, e.g. 192.168.50.1/24 and 192.168.100.1/24. Note: please make sure the Peplink router is running Firmware 8.1.0 or above. 1.
Scenario 4: SIM Injector in a remote location Setup topology Requirements for installing a SIM Injector in a remote location: ● ● ● ● Cellular router communicates with the SIM Injector via UDP port 50000. Therefore this port must be reachable via public IP over the Internet. The one way latency between the cellular router and the SIM Injector should be up to 250 ms. A higher latency may lead to stability issues. The cellular router must have Internet connection to connect to the SIM Injector.
2. Under Misc. settings (Left-side tab), find Remote SIM Management. 3. In Remote SIM Management, click on the edit icon next to Remote SIM is Disabled. 4. Enter the public IP of the SIM Injector and click Save and Apply Changes. Notes: - Do NOT check Auto LAN Discovery. Do NOT add a SIM Injector serial number to the Remote SIM Host field. Step 2. RemoteSIM and custom SIM card settings configurations are the same as in Scenario 1. https://www.peplink.
How to check if a Pepwave Cellular Router supports Remote SIM 1. Go to Network (Top tab), then WAN (Left-side tab), and click Details on any cellular WAN. This will open the WAN Connection Settings page. 2. Scroll down to Cellular settings. If you can see the Remote SIM Settings section, then the cellular router supports Remote SIMs. Monitor the status of the Remote SIM 1. Go to Network (Top tab), then WAN (Left-side tab), and click Details on the cellular WAN which was configured to use RemoteSIM. 2.
