OWLHM2B / OWLHM2W
Introduction
High-Speed Mobile Internet with 3G Connectivity
The OWLHM2 HSPA+ Mobile Router gives you high-speed access to the Internet wherever
you are and lets you share it on the go.
The built-in 3G antenna provides a reliable connection to your 3G service provider, and a
separate Wi-Fi antenna gives extended coverage to the computers and mobile devices
connected to the OWLHM2.
Mobile Internet for All of Your Devices
With the OWLHM2, you can get online with your notebook, smartphone, tablet, or any other
wireless device using a single 3G mobile connection. The OWLHM2 provides high-speed
Wireless N coverage to give high-speed wireless access to everybody – whether you are with
colleagues on a business trip, or travelling with friends and family.
Built-in Software for Instant Access Anywhere
The OWLHM2 is truly plug and play, with drivers built right into the router so you can
connect without the need to install anything. Open a browser,
connect the router, and you can set up your network right from a web interface. This means
that notebooks and netbooks without a CD‑ROM drive can
connect and get up and running in no time. Once the device is set up, you can simply power
it on to start up your portable mobile network, meaning
that you can share your mobile Internet connection without even needing a computer.
Designed for True Portability
The OWLHM2 HSPA+ Mobile Router is small and slim enough to carry around in your purse,
bag, or pocket. It features a MicroSD card slot for optional
removable storage (up to 32 GB), allowing you to always have your files and contacts on
hand.
Installation
This section will guide you through the installation process.
Connect to Your Network
1. Ensure that your OWLHM2 + Mobile Router is powered off.
2. Slide your (U)SIM card into the slot provided, ensuring that the alignment is the same as
indicated by the logo next to the slot. The gold contacts on the card should be facing
downwards.
Caution: Always unplug and turn off the router before installing or removing the SIM card.
Never insert or remove the SIM card while the router is in use.
3. After a few moments, the OLED display will show the current status of the router’s various
functions.
Insert a microSD Card
1. Ensure that your OWLHM2 HSPA+ Mobile Router is powered off.
2. Open the cover of the microSD slot on the side of the router.
3. Insert the microSD card into the slot and push it in until it locks into place.
Driver Installation
When you plug the OWLHM2 into your computer, any necessary drivers will immediately
install (with your permission).
Note: These drivers are Windows-only. Mac and Linux users will still be able to configure the
OWLHM2 using the web configuration utility described in Configuration Utility”.
Note: For Windows systems, if there are any problems while installing the driver, please
make sure you have installed Windows Media player version 11 or higher.
Wireless Installation Considerations
The OWLHM2 can be accessed using a wireless connection from anywhere within the
operating range of its wireless network. Keep in mind that the quantity, thickness, and
location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through may
adversely affect wireless signals. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and
background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office. The key to maximizing the
wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between the router and other network devices.
Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range
From1 to 90 feet (1 to 30 meters).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5
meters) appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick at a 45-degree angle. At a 2-degree
angle it appears over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position devices so that the signal will travel
straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes
through open doorways and drywall. Materials such as glass, metal, brick, insulation,
concrete, and water can affect wireless performance. Large objects such as fish tanks,
mirrors, file cabinets, metal doors, and aluminum studs may also have a negative effect on
range.
4. If you are using a 2.4 GHz cordless phone, make sure that the 2.4 GHz phone base is as far
away from your wireless device as possible. The base
transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10
wireless devices, and electronic equipment such as ceiling fans, fluorescent lights, and home
security systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.
Configuration
Initial Connection to the Router
This section will show you how to configure your new mobile router using the configuration
utility that can be obtained through a software interface or a web-based user interface.
When configuring the router for the first time, you will need to establish a direct connection
with the router in order to access the web-based configuration utility. This can be done
using the included USB, or by connecting wirelessly to the OWLHM2. Once you have
configured your router, you will be able to connect using the Wi-Fi settings that you have
specified in the configuration process. Ensure that the router is powered on and has
sufficient battery power before commencing the setup process.
Connect via USB
To connect to the router via USB, plug the provided micro USB cable into the micro USB port
on the bottom of the router, and plug the other end
into an available USB port on your computer. Your router is now ready for configuration,
please refer to “Configuration Utility” on page 12 to continue the setup process.
Connect via Wi-Fi
Note: The following example uses Windows 7’s built-in wireless connection utility. If you are
using a different operating system, or a third party connection utility, the process may be
different. Please refer to the documentation that came with your operating system or
wireless client for further information on how to connect to a wireless network.
To connect to the router using Wi-Fi, open your operating system’s wireless networking
utility and scan for available networks to connect to. By default, the network name (SSID)
of the OWLHM2 will be in the format OMEGA,the default password is 1234567890
Once you have located this network with your wireless utility, connect to the network using
your wireless networking utility.
You will then be prompted to enter the network security key for your router. The unique
security key for your router will be displayed on a sticker in the router’s battery bay. Enter
the security key in the box provided and click OK. Your wireless connection utility should
confirm that the connection is successful, and you can move to the next step to continue to
configuration process.
