Quark-Elec QK-R041 Setup Manual

QK-R041
POWR SUPPLY
The R041 can be powered from a 12V to 35V DC power supply. Power (V+) and GND(V-) are
clearly indicated on the side terminal block. Ensure these are connected correctly. The R041 is
equipped with reverse polarity protection to protect the device in case of improper installation.
4G SIM CARD
To get Internet connection via a 3G/4G mobile network, the R041
should have a 3G/4G data SIM inserted, which is registered to a valid
mobile operator account.
To insert a SIM card into the router, unscrew the two screws and
remove the small cover as shown on the image and insert the SIM
card into the SIM card slot. For nano and micro-SIM cards a card
adaptor is required (not included with the router, normally comes
with the SIM card).
When inserting a SIM card, ensure the SIM card has the correct orientation. Do NOT insert the
SIM card at an angle or use force. There is also an SD card slot next to the SIM card slot, the use
of this is not currently supported by the firmware.
After inserting the SIM card, power on the R041 to ensure the SIM card works well before replac-
ing the cover. The router will automatically connect to the mobile network, the first LED is the 4G
indicator, it will stay on showing that the router is connected to the Internet. The other three are
signal strength indicators will turn on if the strength arrive relative level. If the 4G indicator
doesn't come on, login to the configuration interface to check if the Access Point Name (APN)
needs to be modified.
Please switch off the router before inserting or removing the SIM card.
INDICATION LEDS
The R041 features indicator LEDs which show power, system, WiFi and 4G/3G network strength
status. There is also another LED on the front panel, which can be customized as required by the
operator.
* Power: LED light is constantly lit in red when the device is powered on.
* System: LED light flashes once every second, when the router is working properly.
* WiFi: LED will flash for each data transaction via WiFi. It will keep steady on when idle.
* Reserved: This LED can be assigned to a specific status or event by using the configuration in-
terface.
* 4G/3G signal strength: There are four LED lights: the left LED shows
the current network type. Red indicates 2G, green indicates 3G(UMTS)
and the orange (mixed green and red) indicates 4G(LTE).
The other three LEDs represent the current signal strength. More lit up
LEDs mean stronger signal.
