As Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology continues to evolve rapidly, traditional industries are undergoing unprecedented digital transformations. In this shift, industrial routers play a crucial role as bridges connecting enterprise devices, management systems, and external networks. This article will provide detailed explanations on the connection methods for 4G cellular router and 5g cellular router, helping traditional industries better understand and apply these advanced technologies.
Ensure that the SIM card is in a valid state and has sufficient signal coverage.
Open the SIM card slot of the 4G Cellular Router and insert the SIM card into the slot, ensuring it is firmly in place.
After inserting the SIM card, close the slot and secure it with screws to prevent the SIM card from falling out or being damaged.
Connect the antenna to the 4G Cellular Router using a connector. Ensure to pay attention to the polarity of the antenna and the corresponding antenna interface to ensure correct connection.
There are two ways to connect the antenna: one is to insert the antenna into the antenna interface and rotate it to fix it; the other is to fix the antenna to the antenna interface using screws. In both cases, ensure that the connection is secure to avoid antenna detachment or signal instability.
Connect the 4G Cellular Router to the target device using an Ethernet cable, ensuring that the cable is securely connected and free of any loose connections.
Configure the network settings in the router's management interface, including IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and other necessary parameters to ensure that the 4G Cellular Router and devices are on the same network.
Depending on the requirements, you can also configure other router parameters such as wireless network name and password.
The connection method for 5g cellular router is similar to that of 4g Cellular Router, but there are some key differences in specific steps:
Ensure Proper Ethernet Cable Connection:
Ensure that the (WAN) and (LAN) ports of the router are connected to the Ethernet cables securely, without any loose or broken connections.
Login to the Router's Management Interface:
Enter the default login address of the router (e.g., 192.168.1.1, which can be found on the label at the bottom of the router) in the browser and press Enter.
Input the default username and password to log in (these can also be found on the label at the bottom of the router).
Change the Login Password (Optional):
To improve security, it is recommended to change the router's login password. Locate the "System Tools" section in the router's management interface and select the "Change Login Password" option. Follow the prompts to input a new username and password.
Perform Network Configuration:
Similar to the 4g Cellular Router, network configuration is necessary in the router's management interface, including setting IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and other necessary parameters.
5g Cellular Router typically have wider signal coverage and higher data transmission rates. When configuring the network, you can leverage these advantages to optimize network connection performance.
Perform Wireless Bridge Configuration (Optional):
If you need to achieve wireless bridging with the main router, follow these steps:
Go to the wireless network basic settings of the secondary router and change its wireless network name, channel, and other parameters.
Enable the WDS function and click the "Scan" button to scan for the main router's wireless signal. Click "Connect" when the signal is detected.
Select the same encryption method as the main router and input the main router's wireless password for connection.
Disable the DHCP server function of the secondary router and obtain an IP address from the main router. Change the LAN port address of the secondary router to ensure that it does not conflict with the main router and is not within the DHCP address pool of the main router.
Restart the router and check the wireless status to confirm successful bridging.
By following these steps, you can successfully connect your 4G Cellular Router or 5G Cellular Router to your network, enabling communication and data transmission between devices. During the connection process, please ensure to follow the correct operation steps and safety regulations to ensure the stability and security of the network connection.
