4.1 Wired Access

Step 1: Connect power and Ethernet cable to IR315, connect WAN/LAN1 port to public network, and one of LAN to PC.
Step 2: Configure the PC to be in the same network segment as the IP address of the router.
  1. Enable the PC to obtain an IP address from DHCP automatically (recommended).
  2. Configure a fixed IP address in the same network segment as the router for the PC. The IP address should be one of the addresses in 192.168.2.2~192.168.2.254, the Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0, and the Default gateway should be 192.168.2.1. The DNS server should be 8.8.8.8 or the address of the ISP’s DNS server.

Step 3: Access the default IP address 192.168.2.1 in a browser, enter username and password (please look at the nameplate at the bottom of the device for login credentials) in the pop-up window and then access to router’s WEB management page. If the browser alarms the connection is not private, show advanced, and proceed to access the address.

Step 4: Create a WAN port in “Network >> WAN” in the left menu. Configure an IP address for the WAN port and let the router connect to the Internet.
There are three methods to obtain an IP address: Dynamic DHCP (recommend). Static IP (Click Apply & Save after configure manually) and ADLS Dialup (Click Apply & Save after configure manually).
Obtain IP address by Dynamic Address (DHCP)

Obtain IP address by Static IP
Obtain IP address by ADSL Dialup

4.2 SIM Card Dial-up

Step 1: Insert the SIM card when the device is powered off. Connect the 4G antenna to the router, and connect the PC to the router. Then power on.
Note：
When inserting or plugging out the SIM card, please unplug the power cable to prevent data loss or damage to the router.
Step 2: Open a browser and access to router’s WEB management page. (refer to 4.1)
Step 3: Click “Network >> Cellular”, and set your profile. The device enables the cellular by default, it will connect to the Internet within a few minutes. If the device cannot connect to the Internet, please disable and restart dialup. (If you use a private network SIM card, you also need to configure the APN parameter)

Step 4: Check the dial-up status in the 'Status' section. If it displays 'Connected' and shows an IP address along with other dial-up parameters, it means the router has successfully connected to the Internet via the SIM card.

4.3 Wi-Fi to Internet

Step 1: Connect the Wi-Fi antenna, and connect the PC to the device. Access to router’s WEB management page. (refer to 4.1)
Step 2: Set Wi-Fi mode: AP or STA.
AP mode (default mode): IR315 acts as an access point to radiate wireless signals, and other terminal devices can connect this device to access the Internet. It is necessary to ensure that IR315 itself has been connected to the Internet through wired or cellular. AP mode supports setting SSID name and encryption authentication mode, and terminal devices will need to input a password when connecting.

STA mode: IR315 connects to other AP Wi-Fi devices to access the Internet.
  1. Select WLAN Type to STA in “Network>>Switch WLAN Mode” and save. Then reboot the router.     

  2. Click “Scan” to scan available APs in “Network>>WLAN Client”, and click Connect to choose one of the APs.
