1: Introduction _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 Introduction Based on the very latest ADSL2+, WiFi and 3G HSPA+ technology, Virtual Access GW600 Series routers address the needs of today’s businesses for managed resilient broadband connectivity. Point of Sale (POS), retail branch office, security monitoring and other key business applications demand managed connectivity that is cost-effective, high performance and resilient to network outage or last mile circuit failure.
0°C to +65°C 2.8 Antenna The GW6600 Series router has four SMA connectors for connection of up to four antennas for antenna diversity. Antenna diversity helps improve the quality of a wireless link by mitigating problems associated with multipath interference.
RJ45 (yellow) 1 x lockable SIM cover. 1 x 3G antenna 1 x WiFi antenna Extra antennas Virtual Access supplies a wide range of antennas for 3G and WiFi. Please visit our website: www.virtualaccess.com or contact Virtual Access for more information.
Powering up Plug the power cable into an electrical socket suitable for the power supply. The GW6600 takes approximately 2 minutes to boot up. During this time, the power LED flashes. Other LEDs display different diagnostic patterns during boot up.
3 GW6600 Series LED behaviour 3.1 Main LED behaviour The GW6600 Series router has a single colour LED. When the router is powered on, the LED is green. Figure 1: Example of power and config LED activity: power and config are on The possible LED states are: •...

3: GW6600 Series LED behaviour _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ None PPP not connected or signal strength <= -113dBm. PPP connected and signal strength <= -89dBm. Signal LEDs PPP connected and signal strength between -89dBm and -69dBm. PPP connected and signal strength >-69dBm. V.92 SYN LED Applies to the Not connected.
4: Factory configuration extraction from SIM card _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4 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.
6 Upgrading router firmware 6.1 Upgrading firmware using the web interface Copy the new firmware issued by Virtual Access to a PC connected to the router. In the top menu, select System tab > Backup/Flash Firmware. Figure 4: The system menu The Flash operations page appears.
Activator is a Virtual Access proprietary provisioning system, where specific router configurations and firmware can be stored. Monitor is a Virtual Access proprietary tool, based on SNMP protocol, to monitor wide networks of deployed routers. 9.1 Autoload - boot up activation This section contains the settings that specify how the device should behave with respect to Activation when it boots up.
14: Configuring WiFi _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 14 Configuring WiFi This section explains how to configure WiFi on a Virtual Access router using the web interface or via UCI. 14.1 Configuring WiFi through the web interface WiFi can act as an Access Point (AP) to another device in the network or it can act as a client to an existing AP.
Introduction to 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 3G module has the ability to scan available 3G networks. The router, using mobile and multi-WAN packages, finds available networks to create and sort interfaces according to their signal strength.
25: Dial modem _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 25 Dial modem Virtual Access GW6630 Series routers are optionally fitted with a V.90 modem. The table below shows standards that are supported. Data modem V.90 V.34 V.32bis V.32 V.29 V.22bis V.22 V.22 Fast Connect V.23 V.21...
Note: success of the pseudowire relies on the network’s ability to transfer the data without loss between the Virtual Access router and the provider. IP packet loss will result in momentary corruption of data, typically around 20 milliseconds in length.
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).

34: Event system _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 34 Event system Virtual Access routers feature an event system. The event system allows you to configure the router’s information for efficient control and management of devices. This section explains how the event system works and how to configure it using via UCI.
Introduction This section describes how to configure and view SLA reporting on Monitor, the Virtual Access monitoring system. It also explains how to configure scheduler task that is placed on the router to upload SLA statistics. The Virtual Access Monitor system provides: centralised access to router connectivity status, •...
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 36 Configuring SLA for a router SLA reporting works in two parts: The Virtual Access Monitor system server connects via SSH into the router • and schedules the task of uploading statistics to Monitor. The Virtual Access router monitors UDP keepalive packets. It creates and •...
Audio channel is up (dial tone or call in progress) ISDN bottom Audio channel is inactive 37.12 IPSec diagnostics Virtual Access routers use the strongSwan package for IPSec. To view IPSEC configuration on the router, enter: root@VA_router:~# uci export strongswan To restart strongSwan, enter: root@VA_router:~# etc/init.d/strongswan restart...
