The OA5725A routers have a block of 8 microswitches available that are used for maintenance and test tasks. In this case, they are only used to load the default configuration. This block of microswitches can be found inside the OA5725A routers. You need to remove the top casing in order to handle them.

3.7.2 AUX Connector The OA5725A router family has a DB9 female connector on the front panel referred to as “ AUX.” , which can be used as a configuration port for the router or as a V.24 asynchronous serial port through a configuration command. The behavior or functionality of this interface must be previously configured.
CELL2, which are located on the front of the device. Antenna installation is essential in the OA5725A routers in order to improve the quality of the signal received and transmitted by the Wireless WAN module (GPRS, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+, LTE, etc.).

In order to achieve optimum features, the installed radio frequency accessories (antennas and cables) should be those recommended by ALU. ALU has a series of accessories that allow the OA5725A routers to be installed in different locations. 3.7.3.1 Positioning the antenna The antenna orientation and its location with respect to other wireless devices and radiation devices (such as com- munication devices, personal computers, etc.) can significantly influence device performance.
3.7.4 Connecting the Wireless LAN Antenna (Wi-Fi connectors) The OA5725A routers have two connectors to connect an external antenna which improves the quality of the signal received and transmitted through the Wireless LAN module. This module is optional; it is possible that your device does not have Wireless LAN and consequently no antennas.

Alcatel-Lucent Chapter 4 Installing the SIM card The OA5725A routers have a Wireless WAN interface, which, in order to operate, may require at least one SIM card to be inserted in the device. Certain services (CDMA) provided by some carriers in a few countries that do not require SIM cards. In installations where a SIM card is required, you must always insert at least one SIM card.
When there are two modules installed, the SIMs’ tray assignment is set and is as follows: • Module MD1 -> SIM #1 • Module MD2 -> SIM #2 The location of the modules and the SIM trays are shown in the following figures. SIM tray #1 for MD1 module (main) Fig. 19: OA5725A Router...
(4) Return the tray to its original position. (5) While pressing on the tray, push the fastening in the direction indicated by the word LOCK so it is firmly held in place. Instructions on how to insert the SIM in the internal tray Fig. 21: OA5725A Router...
Remember that this can take up to 10 minutes and you shouldn’t either switch off nor restart the device or the LTE module. Once the provisioning process has finished, the device registers in the network and the data call establishes. OA5725A Router...
A.2 Upgrading the software The OA5725A routers can be upgraded to new releases. Please ask your distributor for further details on new re- leases. There are several ways to upgrade one of our routers. Please read the corresponding manual on software “ALU-Dm748-I Software Updating”...
A.3.1 Connecting through the local console (AUX connector) The OA5725A routers have a DB9 female connector on the rear panel referred to as “ AUX.” which provides access to the device’s CLI or this can operate as an asynchronous serial port. The behavior or functionality of this interface must be previously configured.
• Configure the Ethernet interface on the IP terminal (normally a PC) using the IP address from the following range [192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.254] and mask 255.255.255.0. E.g. 192.168.1.2, 255.255.255.0. • Connect the IP terminal’s Ethernet interface to any of the Ethernet Switch ports on the OA5725A router (the LAN1...4 connectors) through an Ethernet cable (RJ45).
