WPS

WPS is the simplest way to establish a connection between wireless clients and your 4G100W. This method removes the need to

manually select the encryption mode and fill in the passphrase key. You only need to press a button on both wireless client and the

4G100W, and the WPS will do the rest for you. The 4G100W supports two types of WPS:

WPS via Push Button

–

You have to push a specific button on your wireless client or in your wireless client utility to

start WPS mode. On the 4G100W, set WPS to Enable and click Apply.

WPS via PIN code - You have to know the PIN code of the wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then enter the

wireless client PIN to the 4G100W web interface.

Use the drop down list to enable or disable the WPS function, then click Apply.

NTP

The NTP page is used to configure NTP Synchronisation and to select the time zone and NTP server used for synchronisation.

Figure 34 - NTP Settings

The NTP (Network Time Protocol) settings allow your router to synchronise its internal clock with a global Internet Time server. This

setting will affect functions such as System Log entries and Firewall settings where the current system time is displayed.

You can use the default NTP server or enter one manually if required.

System Monitor

The System Monitor page is used to configure the behaviour of the Periodic Ping monitor function.

Figure 35 - System Monitor Settings

The Periodic Ping Reset Monitor configures the router to transmit controlled ping packets to 2 specified IP addresses. Should the

router not receive responses to the pings, the router will reboot.

This works as follows:

1.

After every “Periodic Ping Timer” configured interval, the router sends 3 consecutive

pings to the “Destination Address”.

2.

If all 3 pings fail the router sends 3 consecutive pings to the “Second Address”.

3.

The router then sends 3 consecutive pings to the “Destination Address” and 3 consecutive pings to the “Second Address”

every “Periodic Ping Accelerated Timer” configured interval.

4.

If all accelerated pings in step 3 above fail the number of times configured in “Fail Count”, the router reboots.

5.

If any ping succeeds the router returns to step 1 and does not reboot.

Note

: The “Periodic Ping Timer” should never be set to a value less than 60 seconds; this is to allow the router time

to reconnect to the cellular network following a reboot.

How to disable the Periodic Ping Monitor

To disable the Periodic Ping Reset Monitor simply set to “Fail Count” 0

Note: The traffic generated by the periodic ping feature is counted as chargeable usage, please keep this in mind when

selecting how often to ping.

How to configure a Forced Reset

This facility is available by clicking on the “Services” menu followed by the “System Monitor” menu item on the right.

The router can be configured to automatically reboot after a period of time specified in minutes. While this is not necessary, it does

ensure that in the case of remote installations, it will reboot the router if some anomaly occurs.

The default value is 0 which disables the Forced Reset Timer. The maximum value is 65535 minutes.
