1. Safety Instructions

Please, observe the following instructions:

• The router must be used in compliance with all applicable international and national laws

and in compliance with any special restrictions regulating the utilization of the router in

prescribed applications and environments.

• To prevent possible injury and damage to appliances and to ensure compliance with

all relevant provisions, use only the original accessories. Unauthorized modiﬁcations or

the use of unapproved accessories may result in damage to the router and / or a breach

of applicable regulations. Unauthorized modiﬁcations or use of unapproved accessories

may void the warranty.

• The router can not be opened.

• Turn off the router and disconnect it from power supply before handling the SIM card.

•Caution! This equipment is not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to

be present. The SIM card could be swallowed by small children.

• Input voltage must not exceed 36 V DC max.

• Do not expose the router to extreme ambient conditions. Protect the router against dust,

moisture and high temperature.

• Only routers with appropriate certiﬁcation and labelling should be used in locations where

ﬂammable and explosive materials are present, including gas stations, chemical plants,

or locations in which explosives are used. We remind users of the duty to observe the

restrictions concerning the utilization of radio devices at such places.

• Switch off the router when traveling by plane. Utilization of the router on a plane may

endanger the operation of the plane or interfere with the mobile telephone network, and

may be unlawful. Failure to observe these instructions may result in the suspension or

cancellation of telephone services for the respective client and / or may result in legal

sanctions.

• When using the router in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as cardiac

pacemakers or hearing aids, you must proceed with heightened caution.

• The router may cause interference when used in close proximity to TV sets, radio re-

ceivers or personal computers.

• It is recommended that you create an appropriate copy or backup of all important settings

that are stored in the memory of the device.

2. Product Disposal Instructions

The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment: 2012/19/EU) directive was in-

troduced to ensure that electrical/electronic products are recycled using the best available

recovery techniques to minimize the environmental impact. This product contains high quality

materials and components which can be recycled. At the end of it’s life this pro- duct MUST

NOT be mixed with other commercial waste for disposal. The device contains a battery. Re-

move the battery from the device before disposal. The battery in the device needs to be

disposed of apart accordingly. Check the terms and conditions of your supplier for disposal

information.

3. Router Description

Cellular router SmartStart is designed for wireless communication in mobile networks that

use traditional cellular technologies. The primary purpose of this router is its use in the newest

Category 4 (Cat.4) services on the cellular LTE network.

3.1 LTE Category 4 (Cat.4)

LTE Category 4 (Cat.4) is the next step in 4G LTE device capability. Cat.4 rated SmartStart

routers are capable of achieving typical speeds in 4G coverage areas where the network is

enabled with 20 MHz of contiguous spectrum. The peak downlink data rate for a Category 4

is approximately 150 Mbps. Also in the uplink, LTE Category 4 provides a peak data rate of

50 Mbps.

3.2 Basic HW Information

As a standard, the SmartStart router is equipped with one Ethernet 10/100 Mbps, one

serial interface RS232, one binary input and one output. SL304 also contains two readers for

3 V and 1.8 V SIM cards, which are placed on the rear panel of the device. The router can

be equipped with a WiFi module, but this must be part of the initial conﬁguration – it cannot

be assembled to the router at some point in the future. The SmartStart router is supplied in a

plastic casing.

3.3 Conﬁguration and Diagnostics

The router can be conﬁgured using a password-protected Web interface. The web interface

provides (after logging in) detailed statistics about the router activities, signal strength, detailed

system logs etc. This device supports the creation of VPN tunnels using technologies IPSec,

OpenVPN and L2TP for secure communications. There are also supported functions such as

IPv6 (the latest revision of the Internet Protocol), DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP,

control by SMS, primary connection backups and many other functions are also supported.

Other diagnostic functions ensuring continuous communication include automatic inspec-

tion of PPP connection offering an automatic restart feature in case of connection is lost, or

hardware watchdog which monitors the status of the router. Using a special window (start up

script window) you may insert Linux scripts for various actions. For some applications is the

key possibility to create several different conﬁgurations for one router which can be switched

as needed (e.g. using SMS or status of the binary input). Cellular routers may automatically up-

date conﬁguration and ﬁrmware from server. This allows mass reconﬁguration of many routers

in one time.
