The LTS Industrial LT-4GPOEW1 is an industrial cellular router designed for security professionals, offering robust video solutions and reliable internet connectivity. This quick start guide outlines the installation process and initial configuration steps for the device, ensuring users can quickly set up and manage their network.

Function Description

The LT-4GPOEW1 functions primarily as an industrial cellular router, providing internet access through cellular networks (4G) and offering various connectivity options for local devices. It is designed to be a central component in security systems, enabling remote monitoring and data transmission for security professionals. The router supports both static IP and DHCP client configurations for its WAN port, allowing flexibility in network integration. It also includes features for managing cellular connections, such as SIM card installation and priority settings for multiple SIMs, ensuring continuous connectivity even if one SIM fails. The device is equipped with multiple antenna connectors for cellular, GPS/WIFI, and AUX cellular, optimizing signal reception and location services.

Usage Features

The LT-4GPOEW1 offers a range of features to facilitate its use in industrial and security environments.

• Connectivity Options: The router provides Ethernet LAN1/WAN and LAN2 ports, allowing for wired connections to other network devices. It supports both static IP and DHCP client configurations for the WAN port, adapting to different network setups.
• Cellular Connectivity: Users can install SIM cards to establish cellular internet connections. The device supports dual SIM cards (SIM1 and SIM2), with configurable priority settings for failover, ensuring uninterrupted network access. It also allows for the configuration of cellular parameters such as APN, username, password, and network type.
• Antenna Support: The device includes connectors for main cellular, GPS/WIFI, and AUX cellular antennas. External antennas can be rotated and installed vertically to optimize signal strength, which is crucial for reliable cellular and GPS performance.
• LED Indicators: A comprehensive set of LED indicators provides real-time status updates for power, system operation, SIM card status, and signal strength. These indicators help users quickly diagnose the device's operational state and connectivity issues.
  • POWER LED: Indicates whether the device is switched off (Off) or on (On).
  • SYSTEM LED: Shows the system status, including start-up (Static Green), proper running (Blinking slowly Green), or errors (Red Light).
  • SIM LED: Displays the SIM card registration status. It can indicate if a SIM is registering or failing to register (Off), registered and ready for dial-up (Blinking slowly Green), dialing up (Blinking rapidly Green), or successfully registered and dialed up (Static Green). It also provides similar indications for SIM2 using an Orange Light.
  • Signal Strength LED: Provides a visual representation of cellular signal strength, from weak (Static/Off/Off Green) to normal (Static/Static/Off Green) to strong (Static/Static/Static Green), corresponding to ASU values.
• Web GUI for Configuration: The device features a user-friendly Web Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows for comprehensive configuration and monitoring. Users can access the GUI via a web browser by connecting their PC to the router's LAN port. The GUI enables configuration of network interfaces, cellular settings, link failover priorities, and system information.
• Link Failover: The router supports link failover, allowing users to prioritize different internet connections (e.g., WAN over cellular). This ensures that if the primary connection fails, the router automatically switches to a backup connection, maintaining continuous internet access.
• Ping Detection: Users can configure ICMP ping detection parameters, including primary and secondary servers, interval, retry interval, timeout, and maximum ping retries. This feature helps monitor connection stability and trigger failover if necessary.
• Password Management: For security, the router prompts users to change the default password upon the first login. It also includes a lockout mechanism if incorrect login attempts exceed a certain limit.

Maintenance Features

The LT-4GPOEW1 incorporates several features to aid in maintenance and troubleshooting.

• Quick Start Guide and User Manual: The device comes with a Quick Start Guide for initial setup and refers to a comprehensive User Guide for advanced configurations and troubleshooting. These documents are available on the LTS Industrial website.
• Reset Button: A physical reset button is provided to restore the router to factory default settings. This is useful for troubleshooting or reconfiguring the device from scratch. The reset process involves pressing and holding the button for more than 5 seconds.
• Declaration of Conformity: The device conforms to CE, FCC, and RoHS standards, indicating compliance with essential health, safety, and environmental protection requirements.
• Technical Support: LTS Industrial offers technical support via email and phone for assistance with installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.
• Revision History: The manual includes a revision history, detailing updates and changes to the documentation, which can be helpful for understanding device evolution and compatibility.
• Packing List Verification: The quick start guide includes a detailed packing list, allowing users to verify that all components are present and undamaged upon receipt, simplifying initial setup and preventing issues due to missing parts.
• Mounting Options: The router supports multiple installation methods, including desktop placement, wall mounting, and DIN rail mounting. This flexibility allows for secure and convenient placement in various industrial environments. The guide specifies recommended torque for mounting screws to ensure proper installation and prevent damage.
