Page 14: Modem Configuration
4.2 Modem configuration Modem is configured via web browser making it portable and easy to use. Modem configuration is described below in following sections. Modem settings are divided into sections which allows user to easily find option needed. When switching tabs settings are automatically saved in modem cache, to save settings permanently and apply them click Save Settings in menu. -
Page 15: Local Network
4.2.3 Local network On LAN configuration page you can find essential parameters needed for LAN connection. Here you can set IP Address (or set it to be downloaded via DHCP), mask, default gateway, DNS addresses. Last two options can be entered manually or downloaded automatically via GSM or DHCP. -
Page 16: Gsm Network
4.2.4 GSM network On ISP Master page you can define internet connection parameters (APN, username, password, CSD, ISP IP and Modem band) for one or two SIM cards (depending on modem version). To use internet you should know those parameters - they are essential for getting access to internet. -
Page 17: Connection Control
4.2.5 Connection control Here you can set parameters of switching between two SIM cards. You can define time for ping and ping counter for 4 IP addresses you choose. In example (picture) here after 3 pings that take 10 seconds each card will change from Master to Slave or opposite. -
Page 18: Ports Configuration
4.2.6 Ports configuration You are able to set port settings under RS232 Port page. There are 3 configurable ports: /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyACM0 and /dev/ttyS1 or /dev/ttyUSB0 (depending on modem version). Every port can be set to different mode. On /dev/ttyS0 you can set terminal, ModBus gateway or NTRIP mode. -

port, choose protocol (TCP or UDP) and enter IP address. When adding new rule or switching tab, currently edited rule is automatically saved. You can delete it (or any other rule) by pressing Delete button. After changes click Save Settings to save whole configuration. You can edit port range rules in the same way in Port range rules section. -
Page 20: Static Routes
VLAN. 4.2.9 Static routes Under static routes tab you can define your own routings. Please click Add new button to add new routing. Enter identifier (used only to distinguish routings in www configuration), choose interface, enter destination network, netmask and gateway. -
Page 21: Dynamic Dns
4.2.10 Dynamic DNS Dynamic DNS is a service which allows user to make your device available under specific www address regardless of its IP changes. In order to do that you must create an account on one of web pages that are supported by MTX modem (currently DynDNS.org or No-IP.com). -
Page 22: Access Control
4.2.11 Access control First section of Access Control tab allows you to configure SSH protocol. You can turn it on or off, set on which port and interfaces (also OpenVPN and IPsec tunnels) it should be accessible. You can also toggle logging via SSH as root and change/delete passwords/keys for root and service user. - Page 23 tabs then. After the generation the message will be displayed. Public key will be automatically pasted into the keys field (if the field wasn't empty before pressing the button, its contents will be saved, the newly generated key will appear first on the list). From now you will be able to download private and public keys by pressing Get private key and Get public key buttons.
-
Page 24: Open Vpn
4.2.12 Open VPN You can connect your modem to a VPN network or create your own one using OpenVPN software. It is possible to create up to four VPN connections (tunnels). To view and change settings of any of tunnels select it from Tunnel configuration list under OpenVPN tab. Then choose if modem should be server or client and connection type: tun or tap. -
Page 26: Ipsec Static/Ipsec Mobile
4.2.13 Ipsec static/Ipsec mobile IPsec is group of internet protocols that enables user to create safe connection between devices. To configure such connection on MTX modem you need to go through three tabs of configuration: Tunnels, Mobile Clients, Keys and Certificates. First of all, you need to enable IPsec under Tunnels tab. - Page 27 In the second phase of proposal please specify the protocol (ESP is authentication with encryption, AH is authentication only), encryption algorithm, hash algorithm and PFS key group. Please note that you can choose multiple algorithms, but at least one should match on both sides of the connection.
-
Page 28: Generating Ssl Certificates
It is possible to create IPsec connection with non-static-IP-devices. In order to do this please click Mobile clients tab. Configuration is similar to the tunnel configuration, but there are less settings (for example there is no PSK field-you should add pre-shared keys for mobile clients in Keys and Certificates tab). - Page 29 At first we need to create folder, in which all our keys and certificates will be stored. Let's say it will be ~/keys. We create two files in it: list of certificates and file enumerating them: touch index.txt echo 00 > serial and subdirectories, where the certificates and keys will be stored: mkdir private certs newcerts crl In order to create certificates, the certificate authority (CA) is needed .
-
Page 30: N2N
4.2.15 N2N N2N is application that enables user to create secure subnetworks like OpenVPN and IPsec, but it is based on P2P connections. User can configure modem to host N2N server (just enable the option and choose port on which it will be available) and up to four tunnels. To configure tunnel choose N2N IP address, local and remote port, netmask and remote IP address. -
Page 31: Carp
4.2.16 CARP CARP is a network protocol that allows many devices to be connected into redundancy group which will be available as one device on chosen network address. For example you can choose devices that have IPs 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 to be available on 192.168.1.115. If one device will stop working, the other one will serve users at shared address. -
Page 32: Ntrip Configuration Page
4.2.17 NTRIP configuration page One of /dev/ttyS0 port modes is communication with external device using NTRIP protocol. If you decide to use it, it is necessary to set the mode under RS232 Port configuration page. Then, enter settings in NTRIP page. Server address, port and initial position fields are necessary. -
Page 33: Sms Actions
4.2.18 SMS Actions SMS Actions tab allows user to define shell scripts that will be executed every time modem receives SMS with specified content. To enable this option ensure that global SMS Actions checkbox is enabled and you have set one of available ports into SMS receiving mode under Ports configuration tab. Then click New button, enter any identifier and command-sms content that will trigger action. -
Page 34: Gpio
4.2.19 GPIO Settings under GPIO tab in www configuration enable user to configure external input and output GPIO ports. When switching tab to GPIO current pin states is read automatically into eight fields in upper section of the webpage. In whole configuration the following convention is used: the unchecked field represents low state and checked field represents high state. - Page 35 event. Make sure that real time clock is set correctly on the device. In case of regular event specify time interval between two [consecutive] event executions. Finally choose pin or pins used for the event and what action should be taken (setting high state, setting low state or switching states).
- Page 36 Sets low state on physical outputs number 11 and 12 (On successful execution no text is printed): 192.168.1.234/actions/gpio_action.php?cmd=write&pins=11,12&state=L...
