Chapter 5 Using the Wizard to Configure Your Device

Setting Up Your Device

The initial setup wizard can help you quickly set up the main features of your rCell. To use the wizard:
1. From Administration, select Initial Setup, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: The wizard also launches the first time you log into the device's webpage.
2. On the first panel, the mode option lets you set up the rCell as a Network Router or a PPP-IP Passthrough
device.
a. The Network Router mode is the default and establishes the device as a cellular network router.
b. In the PPP-IP Passthrough mode, the rCell passes the IP address it receives from the cellular provider
during a PPP connection to another device.
Note: In this mode, the rCell only allows one DHCP lease. Many of the services the rCell provides as a
router are diabled in this mode due to the passing of its WAN IP address to another device.
c. Click Next.
3. In the Choose Password panel, enter the following:
a. In the Current Password field, type the current password. The default password is admin.
b. In the New Password field, type the password you want to use to replace the current one.
c. To confirm the accuracy of the password, re-type it in the Confirm Password field.
d. Click Next. Or if you are done making changes, click Finish.
Note: If you do not want to change your password, click Skip.
4. In the Time Configuration panel, set the date time and time zone.
a. In the Time field, type the desired time.
b. In the Date field, type the desired date.
c. From the Time Zone drop-down, select the time zone in which the router operates.
d. Click Next. Or if you are done making changes, click Finish.
5. In the IP Setup panel, give the router its address and network information:
a. In the IP Address field, type the router's IP address.
b. In the Mask field, type the mask for the network. The default is 255.255.255.0.
c. In the Primary DNS field, type the address of the primary DNS.
Note: This is an optional value that can be used if you use a DNS server other then the servers received
from your carrier.
d. Click Next. Or if you are done making changes, click Finish.
6. In the PPP Configuration panel, configure PPP for your router.
a. To use PPP, check Enable. When enabled, your device functions as a router.
b. Check Diversity to enable the use of two cellular antennas for better performance.
