1: Introduction _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 Introduction This user manual describes the features and how to configure a Virtual Access GW7304 Series router. The Virtual Access GW7304 Series router is ruggedized and supports extended temperature, high isolation and protection levels. The router enclosure is not conductive.
Each GW7304 Series router is assigned a unique serial number. Record your device serial number on your warranty card or somewhere you can easily access it. You must reference your unique serial number (S/N) when you contact Virtual Access support for installation and configuration confirmation.

2.9.6 Connecting the antenna Virtual Access offers a variety of antennas as every 3G/4G wireless deployment is different. When selecting an antenna for your device, you should consider factors such as the installation environment, mounting options and the distance between router and antenna location.

Under no circumstance should they be plugged into any other terminals or damage to the router may occur. Figure 10: The AC terminal block plugged into the GW7304-3G-AC Screw the terminal block with the wires back into the connector. 2.9.7.2 GW7304-3G-DC Unscrew the terminal block from the connector on the router.
The United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland are under an obligation to minimise the disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) in domestic waste and encourage recycling, recovery and environmentally sound disposal. Virtual Access is committed to promoting the reuse, recycling and recovery of WEEE by contributing to the appropriate compliance schemes.
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.
7 Configuring Dynamic DNS 7.1 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.

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.
11: Using the Command Line Interface _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 11 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.
11.3 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 /etc/config/autoload...
12.2 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.
15: Configuring VLAN _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 15 Configuring VLAN 15.1 Maximum number of VLANs supported Virtual Access’ routers support up to 4095 VLANs. 15.2 Configuration package used Package Sections Network 15.3 Configuring VLAN using the web interface 15.3.1 Create a VLAN interface To configure VLAN using the web interface, in the top menu, select Network - >Interfaces.
16.1 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).
17: QoS: type of service _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 17 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. 17.1 QoS configuration overview...
23 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.
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 •...
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 33 Event system Virtual Access routers feature an event system. It allows you to forward 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.
35 Configuring SLA for a router SLA reporting works in two parts: 1. The Virtual Access Monitor system server connects via SSH into the router and schedules the task of uploading statistics to Monitor. 2. The Virtual Access router monitors UDP keepalive packets. It creates and stores statistics in bins.
