2.4. Accessories List Name Quantity Router Cellular Antenna GPS Antenna WIFI Antenna Network cable Serial cable Power Lead Stator 2.5. SIM card Installation Power off the router, and press the eject button next to the SIM card tray with a small object such as a ballpoint pen.
The pin-out connections of the serial cable are as follows: RJ45 DB9F The signal definition of the DB9F serial communication interface is as follows: RS232 signal Direction Output Output Input Input output input output 2.7. Power The input supply voltage range is 5~35VDC.
3. Configuration and Management Datamax+ is configured via a web interface. In order to access the Datamax+ web interface you will need a computer with a spare Ethernet LAN port. The LAN card configuration should have the Internet Protocol TCP/IP set to obtain an IP Address automatically and obtain DNS server address automatically.
Page 19
1. Connect the Ethernet cable supplied with your router to your computer Ethernet LAN port 2. Your computer will get an IP address from the Datamax+ DHCP range automatically. 3. In your web browser type 192.168.1.1 in the Address (URL) field (The Default IP Address of the Ethernet port is 192.168.1.1).
3.1. Management and configuration 3.1.1. Setting The Setup screen is the first screen users will see when accessing the router. Most users will be able to configure the router and get it work properly using only the settings on this screen. Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will require users to enter specific information, such as User Name, Password, IP Address, Default Gateway Address, or DNS IP Address.
Page 22
Note that for use in your own internal network, your network administrator can supply these details. Where you are using an ISP or other upstream service provider, that supplier can supply you with the required details. ...

Page 27
Force reconnect: Enabling this option forces the Datamax to drop the WAN connection and then re-establish it at the defined interval. Time: the time between forced reconnects. ...
Page 28
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) allows for multiple redundant links while preventing routing loops – packets do not “ping-pong” from router to router. 28
...
Page 29
Router Name: set router name Host Name: the host name part of the FQDN of the Datamax Domain Name: the domain part of the FQDN of the Datamax MTU: Maximum (user) data size in packets sent. Usually “auto”, however depending on your ISP and/or local network settings, you may need to reduce this –...
Page 30
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP) The Datamax can act as a DHCP server for (W)LAN connected devices. It can also act as a DHCP forwarder where you are utilizing a central DHCP server for multiple sites (subnets). ...
Page 31
DNS updates will allow you to refer to your devices by name and have them continue to connect correctly even when the IP address of the device changes. The Datamax+ router supports dynamic DNS updates, automatically updating the DNS server when the WAN interface IP address assignment changes.
Page 32
DDNS Service: The Maxon MA100-1010 router currently supports DynDNS, freedns, Zoneedit, NO-IP, 3322, easyDNS, TZO, DynSIP and Custom based on the user. User Name: your DDNS server username Password: your DDNS server password Host Name: the FQDN of the DDNS server Type: select the appropriate value (list varies depending on the setting of “DDNS Service”)
Page 33
3.1.1.3. Clone MAC Address Some ISPs lock service provision to a MAC address. By cloning the MAC address, you can insert the Datamax into the network path without needing to update your MAC address with your ISP. Clone MAC address can clone three parts: Clone LAN MAC, Clone WAN MAC, Clone Wireless MAC.
Page 34
If the Datamax is acting as your primary gateway to the internet, select “gateway”, otherwise select “router”. Dynamic Routing If you want the router to participate in dynamic routing protocols such as RIP etc running on your network(s), you should enable this option. To enable the Dynamic Routing feature for the WAN side, select WAN.
Page 35
Static Routing Select set number: the routing table entry number Route Name: naming rules makes your life easier! Metric: the “cost” of this route – lower numbers are preferred routes. Destination LAN NET: the new route destination address Subnet Mask: the subnet mask for the new route Gateway: IP address of the gateway device that forwards packets to the destination host or network.
Page 36
3.1.1.5. VLANs VLAN’s allow you to specify which ports are “bridged” – that is, where broadcast traffic will be shared for example – rather than routed. This allows you to create separate subnets on each LAN port (or group of LAN ports).
Page 37
3.1.1.6. Networking Bridging-Create Bridge: creates a new empty network bridge for later use. STP means Spanning Tree Protocol and with PRIO users are able to set the bridge priority order. The lowest number has the highest priority. Bridging - Assign to Bridge: allows users to assign any valid interface to a network bridge.
Page 38
Enter relevant bridge IP address and subnet mask, click 'Add' to create a bridge. Note: Only create a bridge can apply it. Assign to Bridge option: to assign different ports to created bridge. For example: assign port (wireless port) is ra0 in br1 bridge as below: Prio means priority level: work if multiple ports are within the same bridge.
Page 39
Port Setup: Set the port property, the default is not set Choose not bridge to set the port's own properties, detailed properties are as below: MTU: maximum transfer unit Multicast forwarding: enable or disable multicast forwarding Masquerade/NAT: enable or disable Masquerade/NAT IP Address: set ra0's IP address, and do not conflict with other ports or bridge...
name of port or bridge (do not be configured as eth0), the second means whether to on DHCP. Start means start address, Max means maximum assigned DHCP clients, Leasetime means the client lease time, the unit is second, click 'Save' or 'Apply' to put it into effect after setting.

WEP:Is a basic encryption algorithm is less secure than WPA. Use of WEP is discouraged due to security weaknesses, and one of the WPA modes should be used whenever possible. Only use WEP if you have clients that can only support WEP (usually older, 802.11b-only clients).

3. Enter the Public Server Certificate. 3.1.2.3. Wireless MAC Filter The Wireless MAC Filter allows you to control which wireless-equipped PCs may or may not communicate with the router depending on their MAC addresses. For information how to get MAC addresses from Windows-PCs, see MAC Address Cloning for detailed instructions。...
Page 47
3.1.2.4. Advanced Settings The Wireless Advanced Settings screen allows you to customize data transmission settings. In most cases, these setting can be left at the defaults。 Basic Rate:The default value is set to Default. Depending on the wireless mode you have selected, a default set of supported data rates will be selected.
Page 48
the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the router and a wireless client。 Transmission Fixed Rate:The default setting is Auto. The range is from 1 to 54Mbps. The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network.
Page 49
RTS Threshold:This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. The range is 0-2347 bytes. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled.
Page 50
Wireless Multimedia Support Settings: Enable support of Wi-Fi Multimedia feature. Configuring QoS options consists of setting parameters on existing queues for different types of wireless traffic. You can configure different minimum and maximum wait times for the transmission of packets in each queue based on the requirements of the media being sent.
Page 51
High throughput. Bulk data that requires maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP data, for example). Best Effort: Priority is Medium. Medium throughput and delay. Most traditional IP data is sent to this queue Video:Priority is High.
Page 52
TXOP(b)/ TXOP(a/g):Transmission Opportunity for "a" "b" and "g" modes is an interval of time when a WME AP has the right to initiate transmissions onto the wireless medium (WM). This value specifies (in milliseconds) the Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) for AP; that is, the interval of time when the WMM AP has the right to initiate transmissions on the wireless network.
