Introduction - NetComm NTC-6000 SERIES User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing an Industrial HSPA Cellular Network Router from NetComm. This manual illustrates how to set-up and configure
your router appropriately for your chosen task. The router is primarily managed and configured via a web browser. This manual will take you
through the steps required to configure and use your unit correctly.
Additionally, the router may be configured via the serial (V.24) port using "AT" (V.250) commands. This method of operation is further
detailed in the document: NTC-6000Series_V250(AT)Manual_V1-1-0.
1.1 Overview
An NTC-6000 series router allows you to build wide area networks utilising the superior speeds supported by 3G UMTS networks.
Employing an embedded 3G modem module the router offers downlink speeds of up to 7.2Mbps and uplink speeds of up to 5.76Mbps.
The NTC-6000 series provides the user a point-to-point or point-to-multi-point communications link in a single, compact and resilient unit.
As a fully featured cellular router, it supports a large number of communication interfaces and protocols to meet the demands of today's
telemetry and WAN applications.
Designed with remote installation in mind the NTC-6000 series supports multi-level system monitoring giving the user peace of mind the
device will keep the lines of communication up and open.
In the event of system corruption, a built-in recovery mode provides the facility to re-install the system software to the router and resume
normal operations quickly. Using the recovery console is further detailed in the document NTC-6XXX Firmware Upgrade VX.X.X.pdf that is
part of all NTC-6000 series firmware upgrade packs released, which are available for download in the support section of our website:
