IV. Configuring the LAN-Cell

Activating the Cellular Modem

The embedded cellular modem in the LAN-Cell must be “activated” with the designated cellular

service provider before it can establish a cellular data connection. You must subscribe to a

carrier’s cellular data plan before activating the LAN-Cell. The LAN-Cell’s cellular modem is

pre-configured for a specific cellular service provider at the time of manufacture.

Your LAN-Cell may have been activated at the factory or by your reseller. If so, the LAN-Cell’s

cellular telephone number (Mobile Identification Number or MIN) will be indicated on the label

on the bottom of the unit. If this is the case, your LAN-Cell is ready to use. Otherwise, follow

these steps to activate the cellular modem:

Accessing your LAN-Cell Via Web Configurator

NOTE: You can use either the embedded web configurator or the System

Management Terminal (SMT) to access and configure the LAN-Cell. This Quick

Start Guide shows you how to use the web configurator only. See your User’s

Guide for more information on all of the LAN-Cell’s features and configuration

options. Click the web configurator online help for screen-specific assistance.

Step 1:Launch your web browser. Enter http://192.168.1.1 as the web site address.

Step 2:The default password (“1234”) is already in the password field (in non-readable format).

Click Login to proceed to a screen asking you to change your password.

Step 3:It is highly recommended that you change the default password! Enter a new password,

retype it to confirm and click Apply; alternatively, click Ignore to proceed if you do not

want to change the password now.

Step 4:You should now see the web configurator Main Menu screen.

Consult your User’s Guide for more information on how to configure the LAN-Cell’s features.

Some common items you may wish to review immediately include:

LAN Use the screens in this area to change the LAN-Cell’s IP address and its

DHCP server settings.

WAN The screens in this area enable you to configure your Wired and Cellular

WAN settings. Refer to any documentation from your service provider

regarding their requirements.

Cellular

Modem If your LAN-Cell was purchased directly from Proxicast along with an

unlimited cellular data plan, then the LAN-Cell’s cellular modem is

ENABLED and configured as NAILED UP (always on) and the unit is ready

for use. Otherwise, the LAN-Cell’s embedded cellular modem is NOT

ENABLED by default. After you have activated the modem with your

cellular carrier and configured the modem’s MIN/MDN values via the CFG

port, the cellular modem also must be configured and enabled in the

WAN/Cellular Modem Screen. See the User’s Guide or contact your carrier

or Proxicast for carrier/application specific information on these settings.

For Verizon Wireless, you must enter your login information as

“[email protected]”, password “vzw” and set the access phone number to

“#777”. You may also wish to change the WAN port priority to make the

Cellular Modem the preferred communications port.

Firewall The LAN-Cell’s integrated firewall is ENABLED by default. You may need

to change the default firewall rules to suit your specific application. See the

User’s Guide for more information and examples of configuring the firewall.

V. Troubleshooting

PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION

None of the LEDs

turn on

Make sure that you have the correct power adapter connected to the LAN-

Cell and have plugged it into an appropriate power source. Check all

cable connections.

If the LEDs still do not turn on, you may have a hardware problem. In

this case, you should contact your vendor.

Cannot access the

LAN-Cell from the

LAN

Check the cable connection between your computer (or hub) and the

LAN-Cell. Check that the corresponding LAN port LED is ON (indicates

Link Status).

Try to ping the LAN-Cell’s LAN IP address from a LAN computer.

Cannot ping any

computer on the

LAN

If the LAN LEDs are off, check the cable connections.

Verify that the IP address and subnet of the LAN-Cell is in the same range

as the computers on the LAN.

Cannot get a WAN

IP address from the

ISP

The WAN IP is provided after the ISP verifies the MAC address, host

name or User ID.

Find out the verification method used by your ISP and configure the

corresponding fields.

For Cellular Modem WAN connections, this problem is usually related to

either a misconfigured MIN between the modem and the carrier or is the

result of an incorrect username/password entered in the Cellular Modem

screen. Use the AT+MIN? command via the CFG Port to verify your

MIN.

Cannot access the

Internet via the

WAN port

Check the LAN-Cell’s connection to the wired WAN (cable/DSL

modem). Check whether your Ethernet WAN connection requires a

crossover or straight cable.

Check your settings in the WAN screens, especially the routing priority.

Cell Signal LED

does not come on

Check that the proper antenna is securely attached to the LAN-Cell.

Connect a terminal to the CFG Port and put the switch in the CFG

position. Enter AT+CSQ? and press return. The modem will respond

with a signal strength indicator between 0 and 31 (higher indicates a

stronger signal; 99 indicates no signal detected).

Move the LAN-Cell to a location when the carrier’s signal can be

detected.

PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION

Cell Online LED

goes ON then OFF

This problem is usually due to an incorrect username/password entered in

the Cellular Modem screen. It may also be caused if other Cellular

Modem parameters do not match those required by the carrier. Contact

your cellular service provider or Proxicast for more information on carrier

specific settings.

Unable to perform

Over-the-Air

(OTA) activation

(AT+CDV*22899)

You must have the LAN-Cell in a location with cellular service.

Confirm that the correct LAN-Cell ESN is registered with your cellular

carrier.

Confirm with your carrier that your cellular data account is configured for

OTA support. If not, use the manual MIN/MDN programming method.

Cannot make a

cellular data

connection even

when cellular signal

is present.

Check the position of the CFG slide switch. It must be in the RUN (right)

position in order to make a cellular data connection.

Confirm that the LAN-Cell’s ESN has been activated by your carrier.

Check that the antenna is tightly secured to the antenna port.

Use the AT+CSQ? command via the CFG port to determine the signal

strength. In general, CSQ must be 5+ in order to make a reliable

connection.
