A 1622 - 3G and Wi-Fi Router Introduction

1 Introduction
Metrel instruments (MI 2892 Power Master, MI 2885 Master Q4, etc.) can be remotely
accessed through Ethernet communication port.
However, on measurement locations where 3G/2G mobile or Wi-Fi communication is
available, this router can be used to establish Communication Bridge to the instrument.
3G and Wi-Fi Router A 1622, is a high-speed Wi-Fi and 3G gateway, for remote access
to the measurement certified and tested by Metrel. In this manual MI 2892 Power
Master is used as example, however other Metrel instruments with Ethernet port are
used in similar way. Two configurations are supported and described:
• Instrument remote communication over 3G / GPRS network
• Instrument remote communication over Wi-Fi network

For other means of connections and configuration please check RUT 230 instruction
manual, provided by OEM manufacturer Teltonika www.teltonika.lt.

Standard set include:

- Router RUT230
- Euro PSU
- 1 x 3G antenna (swivel, SMA male)
- 1 x WiFi antenna (swivel, RP-SMA male)
- Ethernet cable (1.5 m)
- Installation Manual 20 752 818

2 Remote Communication over 3G / GPRS

network
2.1 Router connection
After you unpack box, follow the steps, documented below, in order to properly connect
the router.
1. Pull out SIM holder by pushing the button (1) and insert SIM card which as
given by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Insert SIM card into holder (3) and
put it back into the modem (4) Correct SIM card orientation is shown in the figure
below.

2. Attach 3G and Wi-Fi antennas.

3. Connect the power adapter to the socket on the front of the device. Then
plug the other end of the power adapter into the power socket.
4. Connect devices, as shown on figure below
o Router can be set up over Wi-Fi network, by finding RUT230_*** access
point on PC. In that case Ethernet connection with PC is not needed.
o Alternatively, use Ethernet cable to connect Router with PC. PC will be
used to set up router.
Note: Ethernet LAN port is used for connection the PC (during Router setup)
– step 1 and for connection the MI 2892 instrument – step 2

o Use Ethernet cable to connect instrument MI 2892 and router

2.2 Router Setup

Before first use, router should be setup in order to work with 3G network.
1. To connect to the router:

- Through Wi-Fi, look up for Access Point RUT230_001E42***** (unique for each
device) on your computer, and connect to it (no password is required).

6
A 1622 - 3G and Wi-Fi Router Remote Communication over 3G / GPRS network

- Through LAN (Ethernet) network, plug Ethernet cable into computer and LAN
Ethernet port on Router, marked as “LAN”.

2. Launch your browser and enter the router IP into the address field:

3. If connection was successful, a login screen will appear:

Enter the default password admin01 into the Password field and then click on
Login button.

4. A wizard will start in order to setup router. Change default password (1) with your
own, Time Zone Settings (2) and Synchronize time (3) with the browser

2.4 Connection check and further steps

Assure that your PC is accessing to the internet only by A 1622 3G and Wi-Fi Router
(disconnect other communication channels) and try to access www.google.com with
your browser. If success, router is ready for use with the instrument.
If internet connection over A 1622 3G and Wi-Fi Router is not established:
• Verify hardware connections (SIM card, supply, patch cables, antennas,…)
• Reset Router and repeat setup procedure.
• Check if 3G or Wi-Fi signal is present.
• Contact Metrel for assistance.
Instrument should be now set up in the same manner as described in user manual
under section: “Remote instrument connection (over Internet)”. Please check this
section in manual and follow described connection procedure.
