Overview 3.7.2 Reset key Use the reset key to re-initialize the INSYS GPRS Ethernet or to load the factory settings. Press the reset key for at least 1 second. After a 10 s pause, a simple reset (re- initialization) of the device is performed. Pressing the reset key equals the bridging of the terminals Reset and GND.
The signal LED blinks or lights up permanently when the process is com- pleted. Connection to the PC Connect the 10BaseT socket at the INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet to the network con- nection of your PC. For the configuration, you will need a crossover network ca- ble.

10 seconds. Connect the "Reset" terminal to GND at least 5 times for a duration of 100 ms to 500ms each within 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet will reset all parameters to the factory defaults. Note The PIN stored in the SIM card is not reset and will be maintained also after the device has been reset to the factory defaults.
Functions INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet Introduction to the Routing of IP Networks 5.3.1 Routing general (without NAT) A router is the link between two network segments. It forwards the IP packets, which are not located in the network of the sender, to the other network segment.
INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet Functions If only one router is available, this router is defined one time as standard gateway. It will then receive all IP packets which are not meant for the own network segment. It will as- sume the correct forwarding to the according destination network.

IP address from the private address range of the according network segment. The INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet represents such a proxy. LAN devices treat it as a router or gateway, i.e. the LAN IP address of the INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet is entered as gateway for LAN devices (see 5.3.1 Routing general).
Page 34
Functions INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet Note The dynamic entry in the NAT table takes place when establishing a connection from the private LAN to the public WAN. For incoming connections from the WAN and their forwarding to ser- vices in the private LAN, static entries are used. (see Chapter 5.5.5)
It is thus possible to forward connections which come in at a certain public port (WAN port) of the INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet to a computer of the local network (LAN). Example: A web server (TCP, port 80) with the local IP address 192.168.0.10 should be reached from the Internet.
After the entries were stored and the INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet was restarted, the lo- cal web server is available via the public IP address of the INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet (in the example: 84.142.35.215). For the client computer with web browser it seems as if the INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet is the called up web server.
The settings in the individual configuration windows will only be saved when the button “Apply” is clicked. To activate the settings, the INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet must be reset. This is also offered on the configuration pages. After the settings have been transmitted to the INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet, the configura- tion pages must be reloaded (web browser menu "Update").

Before inserting a new SIM card you have to ensure that the correct PIN is stored. The PIN may need to be deleted. Otherwise the INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet tries to login with a wrong PIN, which results in a locked PIN if the attempt is repeated.
The default settings for the INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet are as follows: 192.168.1.1 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 The INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet offers the possibility to control the status of its LAN inter- face: Always on (default) The LAN interface is permanently active.

Functions INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet Better availability through standby router If necessary, a standby router may be activated through the LAN interface that is switchable via the input IN2. For reasons of availability, it may be required to equip a second router (standby router) with a SIM card of another provider.

INSYS GPRS 5.0 Ethernet International Safety Instructions IMPORTANT! Cellular terminals or mobiles operate using radio signals and cellular networks. Because of this, connection cannot be guaranteed at all times under all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential communications, for example emergency calls.
