3 Setting up your router

3.1 Installation
After you unpack the box, follow the steps, documented below, in order to properly connect the device. For
better Wi-Fi performance, put the device in clearly visible spot, as obstacles such as walls and door hinder the signal.
1. First assemble your router by attaching the necessary antennas and inserting the SIM card.
2. To power up your router, please use the power adapter included in the box. (IMPORTANT: Using a different
power adapter can damage and void the warranty for this product.).

13
3.1.4 Hardware installation
1. Remove back panel and insert SIM card which was given by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Correct SIM card
orientation is shown in the picture.

2. Attach LTE main and Wi-Fi antennas.

3. Connect the power adapter to the socket on the front panel of the device. Then plug the other end of the power
adapter into a wall outlet or power strip.
4. Connect to the device wirelessly (SSID: Teltonika_Router) or use Ethernet cable and plug it into any LAN Ethernet
port.

14
 3.2 Logging in
After you’re complete with the setting up as described in the section above, you are ready to start logging into
your router and start configuring it. This example shows how to connect on Windows 7. On windows Vista: click Start ->
Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Centre -> Manage network Connections -> (Go to step 4). On Windows XP: Click
Start -> Settings -> Network Connections -> (see step 4). You won’t see “Internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4)”, instead
you’ll have to select “TCP/IP Settings” and click options -> (Go to step 6)

We first must set up our network card so that it could properly communicate with the router.

1. Press the start button 2. Type in “network connections”, wait for the results to
pop up.

3. Click “View network connections” 4. Then right click on your wireless device that you use to
connect to other access points (It is the one with the name
“Wireless Network Connection” and has signal bars on its
icon).

5. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click 6. By default the router is going to have DHCP enabled,
Properties which means that if you select “Obtain an IP address
automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address
automatically”, the router should lease you an IP and you

15
 should be ready to login.

7. If you choose to configure manually here’s what you have to do:

First select an IP address. Due to the stock settings that your router has arrived in you can only enter an IP in the
form of 192.168.1.XXX , where XXX is a number in the range of 2-254 (192.168.1.2 , 192.168.1.254 , 192.168.1.155 and
so on… are valid; 192.168.1.0 , 192.168.1.1 , 192.168.1.255 , 192.168.1.699 and so on… are not). Next we enter the
subnet mask: this has to be “255.255.255.0”. Then we enter the default gateway: this has to be “192.168.1.1”. Finally we
enter primary and secondary DNS server IP’s. One will suffice, though it is good to have a secondary one as well as it will
act as a backup if the first should fail. The DNS can be your routers IP (192.168.1.1), but it can also be some external DNS
server (like the one Google provides: 8.8.8.8).

16
 Right click on the Wireless network icon and select Connect / Disconnect. A list should pop up with all available
wireless networks. Select “Teltonika” and click connect. Then we launch our favorite browser and enter the routers IP
into the address field:

Press enter. If there are no problems you should be greeted with a login screen such as this:

Enter the default password, which is “admin01” into the “Password” field and then either click Login with your
mouse or press the Enter key. You have now successfully logged into the RUT950!

From here on out you can configure almost any aspect of your router.

17
4 Operation Modes
The RUT9xx series router supports various operation modes. It can be connected to the internet (WAN) via
mobile, standard Ethernet cable or via a wireless network. When connecting to the internet, you may also backup your
main WAN connection with one or two backup connections. Any interface can act like backup if configured so. At first
router uses its main WAN connection, if it is lost then router tries to connect via backup with higher priority and if that
fails too, router tries the second backup option.

WAN Main WAN Backup WAN LAN

Mobile √ √ x
Ethernet √ √ √
Wi-Fi √ √ √
In later sections it will be explained, in detail, how to configure your router to work in a desired mode.

5 Powering Options
The RUT9xx router can be powered from power socket or over Ethernet port. Depending on your network
architecture you can use LAN 1 port to power the device.

RUT9xx can be powered from power socket and over Ethernet simultaneously. Power socket has higher priority
meaning that the device will draw power from power socket as long as it is available.

When RUT9xx is switching from one power source to the other it loses power for a fraction of the second and
may reboot. The device will function correctly after the reboot.

Though the device can be powered over Ethernet port it is not compliant with IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard.
Powering RUT9xx from IEEE 802.3af-2003 power supply will damage the device as it is not rated for input voltages of
PoE standard.

18
 5.1 Powering the device from higher voltage
If you decide not to use our standard 9 VDC wall adapters and want to power the device from higher voltage (15 –
30 VDC) please make sure that you choose power supply of high quality. Some power supplies can produce voltage
peaks significantly higher than the declared output voltage, especially during connecting and disconnecting them.

While the device is designed to accept input voltage of up to 30 VDC peaks from high voltage power supplies can
harm the device. If you want to use high voltage power supplies it is recommended to also use additional safety
equipment to suppress voltage peaks from power supply.

establish data connection it is usually faster than PPP mode.
2. Mode NAT / Passthrough / Use NAT mode enables network address translation on router. Bridge
bridge mode bridges LTE data connection with LAN. In this mode the router
does not have internet connection as ISP provides IP directly to end
device (PC, tablet or smart phone).Using Bridge mode will disable
most of the router capabilities and you can access your router's
settings only by using static IP address on your end device.
Passthrough mode is similar with bridge mode except that in
passthrough mode router does have internet connection.

when connecting to operator.

Warning: If an invalid PIN number was entered (i.e. the entered PIN does not match the one that was used to
protect the SIM card), your SIM card will get blocked. To avoid such mishaps it is highly advised to use an unprotected
SIM. If you happen to insert a protected SIM and the PIN number is incorrect, your card won’t get blocked immediately,
although after a couple of reboots OR configuration saves it will.

7.1.1.1.1 Passthrough mode

Using Passthrough Mode will disable most of the router capabilities!

DHCP mode: Static

Enter your computer MAC address (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) to MAC Address field and select Lease time (expire time for
lease addresses). Device, which MAC address will be entered, will get IP from GSM operator. Other connected devices to
the router LAN will get IP from router DHCP server, but these devices will not have internet access.

DHCP mode: Dynamic

Using Dynamic mode, device will get IP from GSM operator , which connect to the router firstly. Using
Passthrough in dynamic mode, the DHCP in LAN will be disabled.

DHCP mode: No DHCP

Using no DHCP mode, IP (also subnet, gateway and DNS) from GSM operator should be entered in device, which is
connected to the router LAN, manually. Using Passthrough in no DHCP mode, the DHCP in LAN will be disabled.

7.2.2 Common configuration
Common configuration allows you to configure your TCP/IP settings for the wan network.

You can switch between the Static, DHCP or PPPoE protocol by selecting the protocol that you want to use and
then pressing Switch Protocol.

7.2.2.1 General Setup

7.2.2.1.1 Static:

This is the configuration setup for when you select the static protocol.

Filed name Sample Explanation

1. IPv4 address 192.168.99.162 Your routers address on the WAN network
2. IPv4 netmask 255.255.255.0 A mask used to define how “large” the WAN network is
3. IPv4 gateway 192.168.99.254 Address where the router will send all the outgoing traffic
4. IPv4 broadcast 192.168.99.255 Broadcast address (auto generated if not set). It is best to leave this
blank unless you know what you are doing.
5. Use custom DNS 8.8.8.8 Usually the gateway has some predefined DNS servers. As such the
servers router, when it needs to resolve a hostname (“www.google.com”,
8.8.6.6 “www.cnn.com”, etc…) to an IP address, it will forward all the DNS
requests to the gateway. By entering custom DNS servers the router
will take care of host name resolution. You can enter multiple DNS
servers to provide redundancy in case the one of the server fails.

56
7.2.2.1.2 DHCP:

When you select the DHCP protocol you can use it as is, because most networks will not require any additional
advanced configuration.

7.2.2.1.3 PPPoE
This protocol is mainly used by DSL providers:

This is the configuration setup for when you select PPPoE protocol.

Filed name Sample Explanation

1. PAP/CHAP username test Your username and password that you would use to connect to your
carriers network.
2. PAP/CHAP password your_password A mask used to define how “large” the WAN network is
3. Access Concentrator auto Specifies the name of access concentrator. Leave empty to auto
detect.
4. Service Name auto Specifies the name of the service. Leave empty to auto detect.

7.2.2.2 Advanced
These are the advanced settings for each of the protocols, if you are unsure of how to alter these attributes it is
highly recommended to leave them to a trained professional:

57
7.2.2.2.1 Static

Field name Sample value Explanation

1. Disable NAT On/Off Toggle NAT on and off.
2 Override MAC address 86:48:71:B7:E9:E4 Override MAC address of the WAN interface. If your ISP gives you
a static IP address it might also bind it to your computers MAC
address (i.e. that IP will only work with your computer). In this
field you can enter your computers MAC address and fool the
gateway in thinking that it is communicating with your computer.
3. Override MTU 1500 Maximum Transmission Unit – specifies the largest possible size
of a data packet.
4. Use gateway metric 0 The WAN configuration by default generates a routing table
entry. With this field you can alter the metric of that entry.

7.2.2.2.2 DHCP

Field name Sample value Explanation

1. Disable NAT Enable/Disable If checked, router will not perform NAT (masquerade) on this
interface
2 Use broadcast flag Enable/Disable Required for certain ISPs, e.g. Charter with DOCSIS 3
3. Use default gateway Enable/Disable If unchecked, no default route is configured
4. Use DNS server Enable/Disable If unchecked, the advertised DNS server addresses are ignored
advertised by peer
5. User gateway metric 0 The WAN configuration by default generates a routing table entry
With this field you can alter the metric of that entry
6. Client ID to send when Specify client ID which will be sent when requesting DHCP

58
 requesting DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
7. Vendor Class to send Specify vendor class which be sent when requesting DHCP
when requesting DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
8. Override MAC address 86:48:71:B7:E9:E4 Override MAC address of the WAN interface. If your ISP gives you
a static IP address it might also bind it to your computers MAC
address (i.e. that IP will only work with your computer). In this
field you can enter your computers MAC address and fool the
gateway in thinking that it is communicating with your computer.
9. Override MTU 1500 Maximum transmission unit – specifies the largest possible size of
a data packet.
7.2.2.2.3 PPPoE

Field name Sample value Explanation

1. Disable NAT Enable/Disable If checked, router will not perform NAT (masquerade) on this
interface
2 Use default gateway Enable/Disable If unchecked, no default route is configured
3. Use gateway metric 0
4. Use DNS servers Enable/Disable If unchecked, the advertised DNS server addresses are ignored
advertised by peer
5. LCP echo failure 0 Presume peer to be dead after given amount of LCP echo failures,
threshold use 0 to ignore failures
6. LCP echo interval 5 Send LCP echo requests at the given interval in seconds, only
effective in conjunction with failure threshold
7. Inactivity timeout 0 Close inactive connection after the given amount of seconds, use
0 to persist connection

7.2.2.2.4 IP Aliases
IP aliases are a way of defining or reaching a subnet that works in the same space as the regular network.

59
 As you can see, the configuration is very similar to the static protocol; only in the example a 99th subnet is
defined. Now if some device has an IP in the 99 subnet (192.168.99.xxx) and the subnets gateway metric is “higher” and
the device is trying to reach the internet it will reroute it’s traffic not to the gateway that is defined in common
configurations but through the one that is specified in IP aliases.

You may also optionally define a broadcast address and a custom DNS server.

7.2.2.2.5 Backup WAN configuration

Backup WAN is function that allows you to back up your primary connection in case it goes down. There can be
two backup connections selected at the same time, in that case, when primary connection fails, router tries to use
backup with higher priority and if that is unavailable or fails too, then router tries the backup with lower priority.

The majority of the options consist of timing and other important parameters that help determine the health of
your primary connection. Regular health checks are constantly performed in the form of ICMP packets (Pings) on your
primary connection. When the connections state starts to change (READY->NOT READY and vice versa) a necessary
amount of failed or passed health checks has to be reached before the state changes completely. This delay is instituted
so as to mitigate “spikes” in connection availability, but it also extends the time before the backup link can be brought
up or down.

Field Name Sample value Explanation

60
1. Health monitor Interval Disable/5/10/20/30/60/120 The interval at which health checks are performed
Seconds
2. Health monitor ICMP host(s) Disable/DNS Server(s) Where to Ping for a health check. As there is no
/WAN GW/Custom definitive way to determine when the connection
to internet is down for good, you’ll have to define
a host whose availability that of the internet as a
whole.
3. Health monitor ICMP timeout 1/3/4/5/10 Seconds How long to wait for an ICMP request to come
back. Set a higher value if your connection has
high latency or high jitter (latency spikes).
4. Attempts before failover 1/3/5/10/15/20 How many checks should fail for your WAN
connection to be declared DOWN for good.
5. Attempts before recovery 1/3/5/10/15/20 How many checks should pass for your WAN
connection to be declared UP.

7.2.2.3 How do I set up a backup link?

First we must select a main link and choose one or two backup links in WAN section. Then push the “Edit” button
and configure your WAN and Backup Wan settings to your liking. Click Save and wait until the settings are applied. Now
in the Status -> Network Information -> WAN page there should be a status indication for the backup WAN. If everything
is working correctly you should see something like this:

The above picture shows the status for Backup WAN configured on a wired main link. You can now simulate a
downed link by simply unplugging your Ethernet WAN cable. When you’ve done so you should see this:

And, if you plug the cable back in you should, again, see this:

4. Use WAN port as LAN Enable/Disable Enable/disable WAN port using as LAN port

62
7.3.2 DHCP Server
The DHCP server is the router side service that can automatically configure the TCP/IP settings of any device that
requests such a service. If you connect a device that has been configured to obtain IP address automatically the DHCP
server will lease an IP address and the device will be able to fully communicate with the router.

7.3.2.1 General Setup

Field Name Sample value Explanation

1. DHCP Enable / Disable/ Manage DHCP server
DHCP Relay
2. Start 100 The starting address of the range that the DHCP server can use to give out to
devices. E.g.: if your LAN IP is 192.168.2.1 and your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
that means that in your network a valid IP address has to be in the range of
[192.168.2.1 – 192.168.2.254](192.168.2.0 and 192.168.2.255 are special
unavailable addresses). If the Start value is set to 100 then the DHCP server will
only be able to lease out addresses starting from 192.168.2.100
3. Limit 150 How many addresses the DHCP server gets to lease out. Continuing on the above
example: if the start address is 192.168.2.100 then the end address will be
192.168.2.254 (100 + 155 – 1 = 254).
4. Lease time 12 How long can a leased IP be considered valid. An IP address after the specified
amount of time will expire and the device that leased it out will have to request
for a new one. Select Hour or Minute (minimum 2min).

63
 7.3.2.2 Advanced settings
You can also define some advanced options that specify how the DHCP server will operate on your LAN network.

Field Name Sample Value Explanation

1. Dynamic DHCP Checked/Unchecked Dynamically allocate client addresses, if set to 0 only clients present
in the ethers files are served
2. Force Checked/Unchecked Forces DHCP serving even if another DHCP server is detected on the
same network segment.
3. IP netmask You can override your LAN netmask here to make the DHCP server
think it’s serving a larger or a smaller network than it actually is.
4. DHCP Options Additional options to be added for this DHCP server. For example
with '26,1470' or 'option:mtu, 1470' you can assign an MTU per
DHCP. Your client must accept MTU by DHCP for this to work.

7.3.2.3 Static Leases

This page is used to configure static IP leases.

Field Name Sample Value Explanation

1. Hostname Printer Name which will be linked with IP address.
2. MAC address 10:a5:d0:70:9c:72 (192.168.1.104) Device MAC address

 7.4 Wireless
The Wireless configuration window provides you with the possibility to configure your wireless access points and
wireless stations. The Wireless Station Mode will become active only when Wi-Fi is configured as an active WAN
interface (either main or backup.)

Above is the overview of the Wireless Configuration window. It displays active access points and stations. Here you
can disable or enable your Wi-Fi interfaces, remove unwanted access points or stations or enter a configuration window
for each Wi-Fi, where you can configure it more thoroughly.

7.4.1 Wireless Access Point

The Wireless Access Point configuration window is used to make changes to different access points. It is divided
into two main sections – device and interface. One is dedicated to configuring hardware parameters, the other –
software. To access this window, simply click the ‘edit’ button next to the Wi-Fi interface that you wish to configure:

 7.6 Firewall
In this section we will look over the various firewall features that come with RUT9.

7.6.1 General Settings

The routers firewall is a standard Linux iptables package, which uses routing chains and policies to facilitate
control over inbound and outbound traffic.

Field Name Sample value Explanation

1. Drop Invalid Checked/Unchecked A “Drop” action is performed on a packet that is determined to be invalid
packets
2. Input Reject/Drop/Accept DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the
Input chain.
3. Output Reject/Drop/Accept DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the
Output chain.
4. Forward Reject/Drop/Accept DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the
Forward chain.
*DEFAULT: When a packet goes through a firewall chain it is matched against all the rules for that specific chain. If
no rule matches said packet, an according Action (either Drop or Reject or Accept) is performed.

Accept – Packet gets to continue down the next chain.

Drop – Packet is stopped and deleted.

Reject – Packet is stopped, deleted and, differently from Drop, an ICMP packet containing a message of rejection
is sent to the source of the dropped packet.

74
7.6.2 DMZ

By enabling DMZ for a specific internal host (for e.g.: your computer), you will expose that host and its services to
the routers WAN network (i.e. - internet).

7.6.3 Port Forwarding

Here you can define your own port forwarding rules.

You can use port forwarding to set up servers and services on local LAN machines. The above picture shows how
you can set up a rule that would allow a website that is being hosted on 192.168.1.109, to be reached from the outside
by entering http://routersExternalIp:12345/.

will not be loaded into the firewall.
7. Sort When a packet arrives, it gets checked for a matching rule. If there are several rules that
match the rule, the first one is applied i.e. the order of the rule list impacts how your firewall
operates, therefore you are given the ability to sort your list as you wish.

You can configure firewall rule by clicking edit button.

Here you have the ultimate freedom in defining your rules – you can enter them straight into the iptables
program. Just type them out into the text field ant it will get executed as a Linux shell script. If you are unsure of how to
use iptables, check out the internet for manuals, examples and explanations.

7.6.6 DDOS Prevention

7.6.6.1 SYN Flood Protection

SYN Flood Protection allows you to protect from attack that exploits part of the normal TCP three-way handshake
to consume resources on the targeted server and render it unresponsive. Essentially, with SYN flood DDoS, the offender
sends TCP connection requests faster than the targeted machine can process them, causing network saturation.

81
 Field Name Sample value Explanation
1. Enable SYN flood protection Enable/Disable Makes router more resistant to SYN flood attacks.
2. SYN flood rate “25” Set rate limit (packets/second) for SYN packets above
which the traffic is considered a flood.

7.6.6.4 HTTP Attack Prevention

HTTP attack sends a complete, legitimate HTTP header, which includes a 'Content-Length' field to specify the size
of the message body to follow. However, the attacker then proceeds to send the actual message body at an extremely
slow rate (e.g. 1 byte/110 seconds). Due to the entire message being correct and complete, the target server will
attempt to obey the 'Content-Length' field in the header, and wait for the entire body of the message to be transmitted,
hence slowing it down.

Field Name Sample value Explanation

1. Enable HTTP limit Enable/Disable Limits HTTP connections per period
2. Limit period Second/Minute/Hour/Day Select in what period limit HTTP connections
3. Limit “10” Maximum HTTP connections during the period

 7.7. Routing
7.7.1. Static Routes
Static routes specify over which interface and gateway a certain host or network can be reached. In this page you
can configure your own custom routes.

Field name Possible values Explanation

1. Routing table MAIN/WAN/WAN2/WAN3 Defines which table will be used for the route in question
2. Interface MAIN/WAN/WAN2/WAN3 The zone where the target network resides
3. Destination IP address The address of the destination network
address*
4. Netmask* IP mask Mask that is applied to the Target to determine to what actual
IP addresses the routing rule applies
5. Gateway IP address Where the router should send all the traffic that applies to the
rule
6. Metric integer Used as a sorting measure. If a packet about to be routed fits
two rules, the one with the higher metric is applied

*Additional notes on Destination & Netmask:

You can define a rule that applies to a single IP like this: Destination - some IP; Netmask - 255.255.255.255.
Furthermore, you can define a rule that applies to a segment of IPs like this: Destination – some IP that STARTS the
segment; Netmask – Netmask that defines how large the segment is. e.g.:

192.168.55.161 255.255.255.255 Only applies to 192.168.55.161

192.168.55.0 255.255.255.0 Applies to IPs in the 192.168.55.0 - 192.168.55.255 range
192.168.55.240 255.255.255.240 192.168.55.240 - 192.168.55.255
192.168.55.161 255.255.255.0 192.168.55.0 - 192.168.55.255
192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

85
 7.7.1.1. Static ARP entries
Static ARP entries are used to bind a MAC address to a specific IP address. For example, if you want some device to
get the same IP every time it connects to the router, you can create a Static ARP entry by binding that device’s MAC
address to a desired IP address. The router will then create an entry in the ARP table, which in turn make sure that that
device will get the specified IP address every time.

7.7.2. Dynamic Routes

7.7.2.1. BGP Protocol

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a standardized exterior gateway protocol designed to exchange routing and
reachability information among autonomous systems (AS) on the Internet. The protocol is often classified as a path
vector protocol but is sometimes also classed as a distance-vector routing protocol. The Border Gateway Protocol makes
routing decisions based on paths, network policies, or rule-sets configured by a network administrator and is involved in
making core routing decisions.

7.7.2.1.1 General Settings

7.7.2.2. RIP Protocol

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the oldest distance-vector routing protocols which employ the hop
count as a routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path
from source to destination. The maximum number of hops allowed for RIP is 15, which limits the size of networks that
RIP can support. A hop count of 16 is considered an infinite distance and the route is considered unreachable. RIP
implements the split horizon, route poisoning and holddown mechanisms to prevent incorrect routing information from
being propagated.

7.7.2.2.1. General

7.7.2.3. OSPF Protocol

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a routing protocol for Internet Protocol (IP) networks. It uses a link state routing
(LSR) algorithm and falls into the group of interior gateway protocols (IGPs), operating within a single autonomous
system (AS). It is defined as OSPF Version 2 in RFC 2328 for IPv4.

91
 7.8 Load Balancing
Load balancing lets users create rules that divide traffic between different interfaces.

To configure a rule, click the Edit button located next to it.

This action will redirect you to the rule’s configuration window.

Here you can define the ratio of each WAN interface. In the example above we can see that the mobile interface’s
ratio is 3, and the wired interface’s ratio is 2. This means that of all traffic will go through the mobile interface, and
will go through the wired interface. After you’ve finished configuring you Load Balancing rules, go the WAN section and
activate Load Balancing for the desired interface.

92
 7.9. IPv6
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the communications
protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the
Internet. IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to deal with the long-anticipated problem of
IPv4 address exhaustion. IPv6 is intended to replace IPv4.

This section is an overview on how to use IPv6 on RUT routers.

7.9.1 Enabling IPv6

To enable IPv6 usage, go to System->Administration->General. When there, check the Enable box found under the
IPv6 Support section:

Once this is done, your router can start using both IPv4 and IPv6. To use use IPv6 in LAN, go to Network->LAN,
where you can setup a local IPv6 address and enable IPv6 in DHCP.

93
 In order to use IPv6 with your mobile connection, go to Network->Mobile and you can uncheck the Use IPv4 only
field.

94
8 Remote monitoring and administration
RUT9XX supports multiple monitoring and administration possibilities. One can get routers information through
SMS or using RMS (Remote Management System). Furthermore, some system related parameters can be obtained using
MODBUSD or MQTT publisher services. How to use them are described in the 9.19 and 9.20 chapters respectively. The
main focus is on parameters, which change from time to time, like signal strength, operators name (it is quite common
to change of operator name in countries where inner roaming is used) or module temperature. Although it is also
possible to read more static values, like MAC address, router’s serial number and many others. The access to the
mentioned parameters is implemented in both MODBUSD and MQTT publisher applications. Apart from getting of
some parameters, MODBUSD also supports setting of some system related parameter, for example, change value of
digital output. Although it sounds frustrating, this functionality is sometimes useful and necessary.
Some applications, like MQTT publisher or RMS allows monitoring or administrating several routers from one
place. It is very useful functionality, when you have few routers and would like to change some parameter using single
application. RMS share some similarities with SSH (Secure Shell) and indeed, one of RMS feature is to allows SSH access
to remote router. There is no separate chapter about RMS in this manual, because the interface of RMS is very intuitive
and user friendly. You can access RMS by using your browser with supplied username and a password at
http://rms.teltonika.lt
By sending SMS to the router the user can execute some command, like reboot, switch wifi on or off and many
others. With each SMS the user need to specify router’s administrator password. This is done for authentication
purposes. The list of commands that may be executed through the SMS is limited. Full list of commands can be found on
Services-SMS Utilities of routers WEB page. More about router’s management using SMS can found in chapter 9.8.
Another interesting router monitoring solution is SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). By not going
into deep details about this protocol, it is another manner to monitor router parameters. It allows the user to check
current operator, modem model and other router parameters. Compared to other applications and services, only SNMP
have ability to inform the user about the occurrence of specific event (called trap) in the system. The main drawback of
this protocol is, that it does not allow to change anything. You can read more about SNMP in chapter 8.9.
Apart from services mentioned earlier, there is one service, which is used only for communication between router
and Android type device (phones, etc’). It is called json-rpc and allows to set or get various parameters of the system.
JSON-RPC can execute the same commands, like user through SSH. To sum up, this approach opens wide possibilities in
communication between router and Android. However, there is no separate topic about JSON-RPC in this manual,
because this type of communication is generally not for end-user use.
Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. In some situations, maybe MQTT publisher works better
than MODBUSD, while in others, MODBUSD will be the better choice. The most versatile manner of system monitoring
and administration is through SSH. The SSH provides complete control of the router. The user can execute commands,
write shell scripts and do many other things. In such case, the user only needs application to connect router through
SSH. The most popular application used in Windows type operating systems is called Putty. If you try to connect to
router from Unix like operating system, you only need to execute ssh command with some arguments, like hostname
and username (in this case – root).
Sometimes the use of SSH is not necessary, so other more conservative services/applications are used. The
complete list of applications and services, which can be used for router administration and monitoring are given below.
It can be seen, that all applications, except MQTT publisher and SNMP supports setting/getting of some system related
parameter.
95
 Application Can obtain parameters Can set parameters
1. MQTT publisher  o
2. MODBUS daemon  
3. SSH  
4. RMS  
5. SMS  
6. SNMP  
7. JSON-RPC  
8. TR-069  
By summarizing, RUT9XX provides several solutions for router management. Each user can choose what solution
to use. If required functionality is not found in particular service, the user can combine several applications, for
example, use MQTT publisher along with SNMP. Finally, if user has special needs, he can write shell script and execute it
via SSH or use json-rpc.

96
 8.1. Basic SSH/CLI/Telnet commands
This section will provide some examples of basic SSH commands that can be used to monitor and manage the
router both remotely and locally.

8.1.1 Login via SSH/CLI

CLI: to login to a RUT router via CLI, just go to the router’s WebUI and find CLI which is located under the Services
section. To login via CLI you will only need to enter the username and password:

Username – root

Password – admin01 (admin01 is the router’s default password, use the password that you setup for your router)

SSH with Windows OS: to login via SSH when using a Window operating system you will need an app that allows
Windows users to achieve an SSH connection. The most commonly used app for that purpose is PuTTY. It is very
lightweight program and can be downloaded for free.

When have PuTTY installed, open it and type in the router’s LAN (default: 192.168.1.1) or WAN IP (in order to reach
the router via WAN, first enable remote SSH access in System->Administration->Access Control) address in the Host
Name (or IP address) field and click the Open button as shown in the example bellow.

97
 After this you will be greeted with a screen as such:

The login name is root, and the password is your router’s admin password (default: admin01). If your login was
successful you will be greeted with a message like this:

98
 SSH with Linux OS: to login via SSH using a Linux operating system open the Terminal app and type in this
command:

ssh root@router_ip_address

root is the username, router_ip_address is the router’s LAN or WAN IP address, depending on whether you’re
trying to reach the router from a local or a remote location (to login to a router remotely, you must first enable remote
SSH access in System->Administration->Access Control). After you initiate this command, you will be prompted to enter
the router’s administrator password (default: root).

Telnet with Windows OS

Sever in router:

1. To start telnet server in router use command – telnetd

2. To connect to router via telnet use command - telnet 192.168.1.1 – enter login and password (root and admin01
by default)

Client in router:

1. To connect to telnet server use command - telnet <ip> [port], enter login and password.

Open CMD with administrator account

type in given command to install telnet client: pkgmgr /iu:"TelnetClient"

to telnet to your router use command: telnet 192.168.1.1 (routers IP address)

99
8.1.2 Configuring the router
This section will provide examples of some basic Linux commands that be used to monitor, manage and configure a
RUT router.

All of the router’s configuration files are stored in the /etc/config folder. You can use the ls command to view the
contents of this folder. ls is a Linux shell command that lists directory contents of files and directories. The command to
view the contents of the config folder goes like this:

ls /etc/config

You can use the cat command to view the contents of a file. For example, to view the contents of the network
config, you should use this command:

cat /etc/config/network

To edit a file, use the vi command:

vi /etc/config/network

You can use /etc/init.d scripts to stop, start, enable, disable or restart a service. For example, in order to restart the
OpenVPN service, use:

/etc/init.d/openvpn restart

Modem restart:
100
 /etc/init.d/modem restart

Network restart:

/etc/init.d/network restart

To get mobile information, use gsmctl commands. A few examples of gsmctl usage will be provided here, but you
can get the whole list of gsmctl commands and a description on how to use them by typing gsmctl –h.

To check modem status use gsmctl command:

-p, --ip <INTERFACE> Get IP of logical interface
-e, --bsent <INTERFACE> Get number of bytes sent
-r, --brecv <INTERFACE> Get number of bytes recieved
-j, --connstate Get 3G connection state

mac, etc.)
mnf_info sn – router’s serial number
mnf_info mac – router’s MAC address
mnf_info name – router’s device name
mnf_info hwver mnf_info - router’s hardware version
mnf_info blver – router’s bootloader version
mnf_simpin – SIM card’s PIN number

Note: in order to know exact section name it is highly recommended to check config with uci show command.

2.luci-reload

Use luci-reload command to renew changes in routers WebUI

An example of how to set up WPA-2 EAP encryption with uci commands:

uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].encryption=wpa2 – sets WiFi encryption to WPA2

uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].auth_server=188.69.236.202 - sets the Radius server address

uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].auth_port=99 – sets Radius server port

uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].auth_secret=test – sets Radius server secret

uci commit – commits all of the uci changes from RAM to flash memory

9.12 VPN
9.12.1 OpenVPN
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a method for secure data transfer through unsafe public network. This section
explains how to configure OpenVPN, which is implementation of VPN supported by the RUT9 router.
106
 A picture below demonstrates default OpenVPN configurations list, which is empty, so you have to define a new
configuration to establish any sort of OpenVPN connection. To create it, enter desired configuration name in “New
configuration name” field, select device role from “Role” drop down list. For example, to create an OpenVPN client with
configuration name demo, select client role, name it “demo” and press “Add New” button as shown in the following
picture.

To see at specific configuration settings press “edit” button located in newly created configuration entry. A new
page with detailed configuration appears, as shown in the picture below (TLS client example).

107
 There can be multiple server/client instances.

You can set custom settings here according to your VPN needs. Below is summary of parameters available to set:

Field name Explanation

1. Enabled Switches configuration on and off. This must be selected to make configuration active.
2. TUN/TAP Selects virtual VPN interface type. TUN is most often used in typical IP-level VPN connections,
however, TAP is required to some Ethernet bridging configurations.
3. Protocol Defines a transport protocol used by connection. You can choose here between TCP and UDP.
4. Port Defines TCP or UDP port number (make sure, that this port allowed by firewall).
5. LZO This setting enables LZO compression. With LZO compression, your VPN connection will
generate less network traffic; however, this means higher router CPU loads. Use it carefully
with high rate traffic or low CPU resources.

6. Encryption Selects Packet encryption algorithm.
7. Authentication Sets authentication mode, used to secure data sessions. Two possibilities you have here:
“Static key” means, that OpenVPN client and server will use the same secret key, which must
be uploaded to the router using “Static pre-shared key” option. “TLS” authentication mode
uses X.509 type certificates. Depending on your selected OpenVPN mode (client or server)
you have to upload these certificates to the router:
For client: Certificate Authority (CA), Client certificate, Client key.
For server: Certificate Authority (CA), Server certificate, Server key and Diffie-Hellman (DH)
certificate used to key exchange through unsafe data networks.
All mention certificates can be generated using OpenVPN or Open SSL utilities on any type
host machine. Certificate generation and theory is out of scope of this user manual.
8. TLS cipher Packet encryption algorithm (cipher)
9. Remote host/IP IP address of OpenVPN server (applicable only for client configuration).
address
10. Resolve Retry Sets time in seconds to try resolving server hostname periodically in case of first resolve
failure before generating service exception.
11. Keep alive Defines two time intervals: one is used to periodically send ICMP request to OpenVPN server,
and another one defines a time window, which is used to restart OpenVPN service, if no ICPM
request is received during the window time slice. Example Keep Alive “10 60”
12. Remote network IP address of remote network, an actual LAN network behind another VPN endpoint.

17. Certificate Certificate authority is an entity that issues digital certificates. A digital certificate certifies the
authority ownership of a public key by the named subject of the certificate.
18. Client certificate Client certificate is a type of digital certificate that is used by client systems to make
authenticated requests to a remote server. Client certificates play a key role in many mutual
authentication designs, providing strong assurances of a requester's identity.
19. Client key Authenticating the client to the server and establishing precisely who they are

After setting any of these parameters press “Save” button. Some of selected parameters will be shown in the
configuration list table. You should also be aware of the fact that router will launch separate OpenVPN service for every
configuration entry (if it is defined as active, of course) so the router has ability to act as server and client at the same
time.

9.12.2 IPSec
The IPsec protocol client enables the router to establish a secure connection to an IPsec peer via the Internet.
IPsec is supported in two modes - transport and tunnel. Transport mode creates secure point to point channel between
two hosts. Tunnel mode can be used to build a secure connection between two remote LANs serving as a VPN solution.

109
 IPsec system maintains two databases: Security Policy Database (SPD) which defines whether to apply IPsec to a
packet or not and specify which/how IPsec-SA is applied and Security Association Database (SAD), which contain Key of
each IPsec-SA.

The establishment of the Security Association (IPsec-SA) between two peers is needed for IPsec communication. It
can be done by using manual or automated configuration.

Note: router starts establishing tunnel when data from router to remote site over tunnel is sent. For automatic
tunnel establishment used tunnel Keep Alive feature.

9.12.3 GRE Tunnel
GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation RFC2784) is a solution for tunneling RFC1812 private address-space traffic
over an intermediate TCP/IP network such as the Internet. GRE tunneling does not use encryption it simply encapsulates
data and sends it over the WAN.

In the example network diagram two distant networks LAN1 and LAN2 are connected.

To create GRE tunnel the user must know the following parameters:

1. Source and destination IP addresses.

2. Tunnel local IP address
3. Distant network IP address and Subnet mask.

9.12.4 PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a protocol (set of communication rules) that allows corporations to
extend their own corporate network through private "tunnels" over the public Internet. Effectively, a corporation uses a
wide-area network as a single large local area network. A company no longer needs to lease its own lines for wide-area
communication but can securely use the public networks. This kind of interconnection is known as a virtual private
network (VPN).

9.22 MQTT
MQTT also known as MQ Telemetry Transport is an publish-subscribe based messaging protocol for use on top of
the TCP/IP protocol. It is designed to send short messages from one client (publisher) to another (subscriber) through
the brokers, which are responsible for message delivery to the end point. RUT 9XX routers do support this functionality
via open source Mosquitto broker. The messages are sent in this way: some client (subscriber) subscribes to specific
topic or many of them, and then publisher posts some message to specific topic. The broker then checks who is
subscribed to particular topic and transmits data from publisher to subscriber.

RUT9XX supports some functionality of the MQTT broker and MQTT publisher. The main window of parameters is
presented below. The broker can be enabled by checking Enable and entering the port number on which MQTT broker
should run to. In order to accept connections from WAN interface, Enable Remote Access should be checked also.

In order to use TLS/SSL for connecting clients (subscribers and publishers) to the broker, the one should check
Use TLS/SSL. After that, additional settings will be displayed to the user as shown below. Here the user can upload
certificates, key files and choose TLS version, which will be used for data encryption between broker and clients
(subscribers and publishers)

150
 The MQTT broker also supports option called Bridge. It means, that two brokers can be connected to each other
and share messages. The window of bridge parameters are presented below. There are some mandatory parameters,
like Connection Name, Remote Address and Remote Port. Although connection name is mandatory, it should be set to
value what you like and according to mosquitto’s user manual this option denotes the client ID which will be used when
connecting to remote broker. There are some other parameters. If you would like to known that they mean and how to
use them you should check for mosquito.conf manual page.

151
,

The last section of parameters is called Miscellaneous. It contains parameters, which does not depend on neither
Security, nor Bridge categories. ACL File denotes access control list file name. The contents of this file are used to control
client access to topics of the broker. The Password File denotes the file, there users and corresponding passwords are
stored. This file is used for user authentication. This option is related to another option called Allow Anonymous. If
Allow Anonymous is unchecked, only users, which exist in password file will be able to connect to the broker. More
about password file can be read on mosquitto configuration manual. The last option is called Persistence, it allows to
save connection, subscription and message data to the disk, otherwise, the data is stored in memory only.

152
 It is possible to configure some sort of MQTT publisher. It is not simple publisher, but publisher, which publishes
some system parameters to the broker. The publisher configuration window has few fields, like hostname and port of
the broker to connect. Username and password fields are used for authentication. If these fields are left empty, no
authentication is performed.

The full list of system parameters, which can be published, are described below.

Parameter name Parameter description

temperature Get temperature of the module in 0.1 degrees Celcium

operator Get current operator’s name

signal Get signal strength in dBm

network Get current network type (2G, 3G, 4G, etc’)

153
connection Check if data connection is available

wan Get WAN’s IP address

uptime Get system uptime in seconds

name Get router’s name

digital1 Get value of digital input no. 1

digital2 Get value of digital input no. 2

analog Get value of analog input

In order system to work, MQTT broker should be configured in advance. You can use the broker, which is installed inside
the router, or the broker in the other location. The publisher operates according to the scheme presented below. In the
scheme the client tries to subscribe information about router’s uptime. To achieve this multiple commands between
client and publisher are being sent.

Subscribe router/get
Subscribe
get/01234567/command Publish router/get
Publisher id Client
Publish get/01234567/command
Publish router/id
uptime
01234567
Broke
r
Publish router/01234567/uptime 15248

In general publisher works in such a way: connects to the broker and subscribes to the topics router/get and
get/<SERIAL>/command, there <SERIAL> denotes serial number of the router which is currently run publisher. The client
then sends message id to the topic router/get. The following message is received by the publisher, since it is subscribed
to that topic. Then the publisher sends response with its serial number to the topic router/id. Now the client knows that
publisher with some serial number exist. It means, that client can send message with parameter name from the list as a
message to the topic get/<SERIAL>/command to the broker. The message will be received only by the subscriber, which
has the same SERIAL number mentioned in the topic. Now the publisher can send back a response with
router/<SERIAL>/parameter_name topic and message with a value of requested parameter. It should be noted, that
according to MQTT protocol, the topic names are case-sensitive, for example topic router is not the same as topic
RoUtEr.

154
 9.23 Modbus TCP interface

Modbus TCP interface allows the user to set or get some parameters from the router (the parameters, which can
be set or get will be described later), like module temperature or signal strength. In other words, Modbus TCP is another
manner to control router behavior. To use Modbus TCP capabilities it must be turned on by navigating to Services-
Modbus. After “Save” button is pressed, the Modbus daemon will be launched on selected port of the system. Modbus
daemon performs as slave, that means, it accepts connection from the master (client) and sends out a response or sets
some system related parameter. By the default Modbus will only accept connections through LAN interface. In order to
accept connections through WAN interface also, Allow Remote Access must be checked.

To obtain some parameter from the system, the read holding registers command is used. The register number
and corresponding system values are described below. Each register contains 2 bytes. For simplification the number of
registers for storing numbers is 2, while for storing text information the number of registers is 16.

Required value Representation Register number Number of registers

System uptime 32 bit unsigned integer 1 2
GSM signal strength (dBm) 32 bit integer 2 2
System temperature in 0.1 degrees 32 bit integer 3 2
Celcium
System hostname Text 4 16
GSM operator name Text 5 16
Router serial number Text 6 16
Router MAC address Text 7 16
Router name Text 8 16
Current SIM card Text 9 16
Network registration Text 10 16
Network type Text 11 16
Digital input 1 32 bit integer 12 2
Digital input 2 32 bit integer 13 2
Current WAN IP address 32 bit unsigned integer 14 2
Analog input 32 bit integer 15 2

The Modbus daemon also supports setting of some system parameters. For this task write holding register
command is used. System related parameters and how to use them are described below. The register number refers to
the register number where to start write required values. All commands, except “Change APN” accepts only one input

11 Device Recovery
The following section describes available options for recovery of malfunctioning device. Usually device can
become unreachable due to power failure during firmware upgrade or if its core files were wrongly modified in the file
system. Teltonika’s routers offer several options for recovering from these situations.

11.8 Reset button

Reset button is located on the back panel of the device. Reset button has several functions:

Reboot the device. After the device has started and if the reset button is pressed for up to 4 seconds the device
will reboot. Start of the reboot will be indicated by flashing of all 5 signal strength LEDs together with green connection
status LED.
Reset to defaults. After the device has started if the reset button is pressed for at least 5 seconds the device will
reset all user changes to factory defaults and reboot. To help user to determine how long the reset button should be
pressed, signal strength LEDs indicates the elapsed time. All 5 lit LEDs means that 5 seconds have passed and reset
button can be released. Start of the reset to defaults will be indicated by flashing of all 5 signal strength LEDs together
with red connection status LED. SIM PIN on the main SIM card is the only user parameter that is kept after reset to
defaults.

11.9 Bootloader’s WebUI

Bootloader also provides a way to recover the router functionality when the firmware is damaged. To make it
easier to use bootloader has its own webserver that can be accessed with any web browser.

Procedure for starting bootloader’s webserver:

Automatically. It happens when bootloader does not detect master firmware. Flashing all 4 Ethernet LEDs
indicate that bootloader’s webserver has started.

Manually. Bootloader’s webserver can be requested by holding reset button for 3 seconds while powering the
device on. Flashing all 4 Ethernet LEDs indicates that bootloader’s webserver has started.

Bootloader’s WebUI can be accessed by typing this address in the web browser:

http://192.168.1.1/index.html

Note: it may be necessary to clear web browser’s cache and to use incognito/anonymous window to access
bootloader’s WebUI.

12 Glossary
WAN – Wide Area Network is a telecommunication network that covers a broad area (i.e., any network that links
across metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries). Here we use the term WAN to mean the external network that
the router uses to reach the internet.

LAN – A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers in a limited area such as a
home, school, computer laboratory, or office building.

DHCP – The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol for hosts on Internet
Protocol (IP) networks. Computers that are connected to IP networks must be configured before they can communicate
with other hosts. The most essential information needed is an IP address, and a default route and routing prefix. DHCP
eliminates the manual task by a network administrator. It also provides a central database of devices that are connected
to the network and eliminates duplicate resource assignments.

ETHERNET CABLE – Refers to the CAT5 UTP cable with an RJ-45 connector.

AP – Access point. An access point is any device that provides wireless connectivity for wireless clients. In this
case, when you enable Wi-Fi on your router, your router becomes an access point.

DNS – Domain Name System. A server that translates names such as www.google.lt to their respective IPs. In
order for your computer or router to communicate with some external server it needs to know it’s IP, its name
“www.something.com” just won’t do. There are special servers set in place that perform this specific task of resolving
names into IPs, called Domain Name servers. If you have no DNS specified you can still browse the web, provided that
you know the IP of the website you are trying to reach.

ARP – Short for Adress Resolution Protocol a network layer protocol used to convert an IP address into a physical
address (called a DLC address), such as an Ethernet address.

PPPoE – Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE is a specification for connecting the users on an Ethernet to
the internet through a common broadband medium, such as DSL line, wireless device or cable modem.

DSL – digital subscriber line - it is a family of technologies that provide internet access by transmitting digital data
using a local telephone network which uses the public switched telephone network.

NAT – network address translation – an internet standard that enables a local-area network (LAN) to use one set
of IP addresses for internet traffic and a second set of addresses for external traffic.

LCP – Link Control Protocol – a protocol that is part of the PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol). The LCP checks the
identity of the linked device and either accepts or rejects the peer device, determines the acceptable packet size for
transmission, searches for errors in configuration and can terminate the link if the parameters are not satisfied.

BOOTP – Bootstrap Protocol – an internet protocol that enables a diskless workstation to discover its own IP
address, the IP address of a BOOTP server on the network, and a file to be loaded into memory to boot the machine.
This enables the workstation to boot without requiring a hard or floppy disk drive.

TCP – Transmission Control Protocol – one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. Whereas the IP protocol
deals only with packets, TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees
delivery of data and also guarantees that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent.

170
 TKIP – Temporal Key Integrity Protocol – scrambles the keys using hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-
checking feature, ensure that the keys haven’t been tampered with.

CCMP – Counter Mode Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol – encryption protocol
designed for Wireless LAN products that implement the standards of the IEEE 802.11i amendment to the original
IEEE802.11 standard. CCMP is an enchanted data cryptographic encapsulation designed for data confidentiality and
based upon the Counter Mode with CBC-MAC (CCM) of the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) standard.

MAC – Media Access Control. Hardware address which uniquely identifies each node of the network. In IEEE 802
networks, the Data Link Control (DCL) layer of the PSO Reference Model is divided into two sub-layers: the Logical Link
Control (LLC) layer and the Media Access Control layer. The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network medium.
Consequently, each different type of network medium requires a different MAC layer.

DMZ – Demilitarized Zone – a computer or small subnetwork that sits between a trusted internal network, such as
a corporate private LAN, and an untrusted external network, such as the public internet.

UDP – User Datagram Protocol – a connectionless protocol that, like TCP, runs on top of IP networks. Provides
very few error recovery services, offering instead a direct way to send and receive datagrams over IP network.

VPN – Virtual Private Network – a network that is constructed by using public wires — usually the Internet — to
connect to a private network, such as a company's internal network.

VRRP – Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol - an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for one
or more virtual router(s) to the VRRP router(s) on a LAN, allow several routers on a multiaccess link to utilize the same
virtual IP address.

GRE Tunnel – Generic Routing Encapsulation - a tunneling protocol developed by Cisco Systems that can
encapsulate a wide variety of network layerprotocols inside virtual point-to-point links over an Internet Protocol
internetwork.

PPPD – Point to Point Protocol Daemon – it is used to manage network connections between two nodes on Unix-
likeoperating systems. It is configured using command-line arguments and configuration files.

SSH – Secure Shell - a program to log into another computer over a network, to execute commands in a remote
machine, and to move files from one machine to another. It provides strong authentication and secure communications
over insecure channels.

VRRPD – Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol – it is designed to eliminate the single point of failure associated
with statically routed networks by automatically providing failover using multiple LAN paths through alternate routers.

SNMP – Simple Network Management Protocol - a set of protocols for managing complex networks. SNMP works
by sending messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network.
