This manual should be read by those responsible for configuring, maintaining and monitoring the device. 1.3 When to read this manual Read this manual before operating the Teldat 4Ge router to familiarize yourself with the device and its components. This manual will help you gain a greater understanding of your new device.
The Teldat 4Ge is a device that routes outbound data from a corporate network to a WWAN network (HSPA+/LTE). • The Teldat 4Ge is designed to work with the corporate network outbound router, routing traffic to a WWAN if the primary outbound route for the corporate network fails.
• An Ethernet interface. The Teldat 4Ge can be connected to the corporate outbound router in two ways: (1) Connect the Teldat 4Ge to the corporate network as if it were another network device, sharing the Ethernet net- work with the corporate router.
2.4 Operating description When the Teldat 4Ge boots up, its Ethernet (WAN) interface comes up without an IP address. It uses the DHCP pro- tocol to request an IP address and only accepts the one offered by the corporate router, rejecting offers from other DHCP servers connected to the corporate network.

Teldat S.A. Once the Teldat 4Ge has obtained a valid IP address, the next step is to establish the data backup mechanism. The backup mechanism is obtained through VLAN 463. The Teldat 4Ge uses this VLAN to assign the public IP ad- dress provided to the router's Ethernet subinterface (which belongs to the same VLAN) and create a new default route pointing traffic to the 4G network.
Teldat S.A. Chapter 3 Configuration The Teldat 4Ge can be used to connect any Teldat, Cisco or third-party router to a 4G network. The following sec- tions describe how to configure the router in these cases. 3.1 Configuring a Cisco router Connecting a Cisco router to a cellular WWAN via the Teldat 4Ge is done through an Ethernet subinterface with VLAN 463.
3.1.1 DHCP The Cisco router is the DHCP server for the Teldat 4Ge and we will use this protocol to set certain Teldat 4Ge para- meters, such as the SIM PIN number, the cellular WWAN APN and the user and password needed to authenticate on the mobile network.

• Some parameters have a shortened version. For instance, the short version for password is pwd. The first word in option 43 should be “antenna” . This allows the Teldat 4Ge to accept the address offered by the router. If you don't use this word, the Teldat 4Ge won't accept the address.
Be very careful when entering the PIN code for the SIM card that will be installed in the Teldat 4Ge. Entering an incorrect PIN may block the SIM. If you enter the PIN incorrectly, the Teldat 4Ge router will not try to use the SIM again until the PIN has been changed or the device rebooted.
3.2.1 DHCP Like the Cisco router, the Teldat router is the DHCP server for the Teldat 4Ge and we will use the DHCP protocol to set certain Teldat 4Ge parameters, such as the SIM PIN number and the cellular WWAN APN.
Teldat S.A. Chapter 4 Monitoring via the console To access the Teldat 4Ge monitoring console, a telnet session must be opened to the DHCP-assigned IP address. To open the Telnet session, we need to use the default username and password: monitor/teldat.
