Fast Setup mode allows you to quickly configure basic operating parameters on your router. Your Perle router has been shipped to you in Factory Default mode. On power up, your router is in “Fast Setup” mode with the Power LED flashing green. Make a connection to your router via the con- sole port or a Web browser, then answer basic setup operating parameters such as your initial user ID and password.
A text-based Command Line Interface based on industry standard syntax and structure. The CLI is accessed from the console port. Once a valid IP address is configured on the IRG7440, Telnet, SSH, or the WebManager interface is used to access the IRG7440 for administration purposes. See the Perle IRG7000/5000 5G/LTE Router CLI Reference Guide for more information.
(Wakeup). Smart Standby Mode You can configure a combination of one or two user defined conditions to determine when the router is powered up and when it goes into Standby mode. Perle IRG7440 5G/LTE Cellular Router Hardware Installation Guide...

Note: up to 0.08A 1W more in power savings can be achieved through shutting down the USB port, LEDs, GPS as well as turning down router processor speed. Note: To configure Power Modes, more information can be found in the Perle IRG7000/5000 5G/LTE Router User’s Guide found on the Perle website.
IRG7440 enters Standby mode. Configure a time delay between the vehicle’s ignition shut off, and the time the IRG7440 goes into Standby mode. A delayed Standby is used if you want to maintain a network connection while the vehicle’s engine is shut off for short periods of time—such as in a delivery vehicle.
