First-Time Setup Wizard
A setup wizard will appear the first time you access the web configuration. Enter the following
responses to each question.
Note: some setup wizard screens may not appear or may appear differently based on the version of the
modem’s firmware.
• Mode: Network Router
• Choose password: enter the current password (admin) and a new password if you would like to
override the default password.
• Time configuration: Set your current time zone first, then the date and time if they are not
correct.
• Network interface: leave bridge as br0.
IPv4 address: most users will want to assign an IP address for their current network. Set the IPv4
address and Mask as required.
If DNS is also visible on this screen (older firmware), you should set the DNS to the IP address of
your DNS Server.
• Cellular Configuration/Cellular PPP Configuration: this setting allows the modem to use the
“data” portion of your cellular plan. This setting should not be required for SMS but may be
required if you want the modem to sync its time to a time server.
For our testing we uncheck “Enabled”. We recommend starting with this option
disabled/unchecked. See “Time Sync Options” for more information.
Note: some users have reported that they reduced SMS send failures by enabling PPP. Our
testing shows success with or without this setting enabled, but if you experience send failures
you may want to enable this setting (Web UI>Cellular>Cellular Configuration) or enabled it now.
• Cellular Authentication/PPP Authentication: most users will select NONE
• Remote Management: do not check “Enabled”
• Admin : most users will disable
• Access Configuration: this screen will appear in newer firmware versions.
For “HTTP Redirect to HTTPS” check :Enabled”, “check: via LAN”
Newer firmware (v5 and later) requires use of HTTPS so we recommend that all users configure
the modem for HTTPS only to reduce issues with future firmware upgrades
• Bootloader Protection: this screen will appear in newer firmware versions.
Authentication Status should be disabled. Most users should not enter a password for the
bootloader.
