Solid on Releasing after 30 seconds performs a normal reset. Table 5: GW1000 Series router reset behaviour 2.17.1 Recovery mode Recovery mode is a fail-safe mode where the router can load a default configuration from the routers firmware. If your router goes into recovery mode, all config files are kept intact.

The Ethernet port has two physical LEDs, one is green and one is amber. When looking at the port the green LED is on the left and is the only active LED. Figure 9: Ethernet LED on the rear of the GW1000 Series router No physical Ethernet link detected...
5: Factory configuration extraction from SIM card _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5 Factory configuration extraction from SIM card Virtual Access routers have a feature to update the factory configuration from a SIM card. This allows you to change the factory configuration of a router when installing the SIM.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 8 Using the Command Line Interface This chapter explains how to view Virtual Access routers' log files and edit configuration files using a Command Line Interface (CLI) and the Unified Configuration Interface (UCI) system. Some commands may vary between router models.
8.3 Configuration files The table below lists common package configuration files that can be edited using uci commands. Other configuration files may also be present depending on the specific options available on the Virtual Access router. File Description Management...

9.1.3 Upgrading router firmware for software version 72.002 and above Copy the new firmware issued by Virtual Access to a PC connected to the router. In the top menu, select System tab > Flash operations. The Flash operations page appears.
12: Configuring VLAN _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 12 Configuring VLAN 12.1 Maximum number of VLANs supported Virtual Access’ routers support up to 4095 VLANs. 12.2 Configuration package used Package Sections Network 12.3 Configuring VLAN using the web interface 12.3.1 Create a VLAN interface To configure VLAN using the web interface, in the top menu, select Network - >Interfaces.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 14 Configuring a WiFi connection This section explains how to configure WiFi on a Virtual Access router using the web interface or via UCI. WiFi can act as an Access Point (AP) to another device in the network or it can act as a client to an existing AP.
RIPv2 routers will both send and receive only Version 2 updates • Virtual Access ripd package supports RIP version 2 as described in RFC2453 and RIP version 1 as described in RFC1058. It is part of Quagga suite of applications for routing.
24 Automatic operator selection This section describes how to configure and operate the Automatic Operator Selection feature of a Virtual Access router. When the roaming SIM is connected, the radio module has the ability to scan available networks. The router, using mobile and multi-WAN packages, finds available networks to create and sort interfaces according to their signal strength.
29.1 Overview Dynamic DNS (DDNS) functionality on a Virtual Access router will dynamically perform DDNS updates to a server so it can associate an IP address with a correctly associated DNS name. Users can then contact a machine, router, device and so on with a DNS name rather than a dynamic IP address.
If you need to create an IPSec template for DMVPN, read the chapter ‘Dynamic Multipoint Virtual Private Network (DMVPN)’. The number of IPSec tunnels supported by Virtual Access’ routers is not limited in any way by software; the only hardware limitation is the amount of RAM installed on the device.
New hubs can be added to the network to improve the performances and reliability. Ability to carry multicast and main routing protocols traffic (RIP, OSPF, BGP). • DMVPN can be deployed using Activator, the Virtual Access automated • provisioning system. Simplifies branch communications by enabling direct branch to branch •...
35.1 Configuring VLAN PCP tagging Virtual Access routers have the capability to respect and set PCP priority values inside 802.1Q VLAN tagged frames. The following partial export of network configuration shows how to configure VLAN priorities for specific interfaces (VLANs).
36: QoS: type of service _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 36 QoS: type of service Virtual Access routers are capable of implementing quality of service configurations on a per interface basis, which allows traffic prioritisation based on type of service criteria parameters. 36.1 QoS configuration overview...
37.2 Monitor Monitor is a Virtual Access proprietary tool, based on SNMP protocol, to monitor wide networks of deployed routers. The router will be configured to send information to Monitor, which is then stored and viewed centrally via the Monitor application. This includes features such as traffic light availability status, syslog and SLA monitoring.
40: Event system _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 40 Event system Virtual Access routers feature an event system. It allows you to forward Virtual Access specific router events to predefined targets for efficient control and management of devices. This chapter explains how the event system works and how to configure it using UCI commands.
Virtual Access cannot be held liable for any fees charged by the carrier to the customer for their data usage. We recommend that the configured data usage is lower than the allowance and that traffic percentage alerts are used.
DSR UP signal and then it resets up the UDP session. 42.7 Serial mode GPIO control On some models of Virtual Access routers it is possible to change the physical transmission mode between RS232 and RS485. This is only applicable to the second serial port on the routers: /dev/ttySC1.
