3.0 Router Description  
3.1 Description  
The SPECTRE Cellular industrial router is used to wirelessly connect Ethernet equipment  
and other devices to the Internet or intranet. Thanks to the high data transfer speed of up to  
100 Mbit/s download (LTE models) and 50 Mbit/s upload (LTE models), it is an ideal wireless  
solution for traffic and security camera systems, individual computers, LAN networks,  
automatic teller machines (ATM) and other self-service terminals.  
The standard configuration includes one 10/100 Ethernet port, one USB Host port, one  
binary Input/output (I/O) port and dual SIM card holders. Network redundancy is provided by  
the second SIM card holder. It also contains 2 auxiliary ports for connecting to other types of  
networks such as RS-232, RS-485/422, Digital/Analog I/O, or they can be configured to  
provide additional switched Ethernet ports. The function of each port is dependent upon the  
specific router model.  
Configuration of the router may be done via a password-protected Web interface. The router  
supports the creation of VPN tunnels using IPsec, OpenVPN and L2TP to ensure safe  
communication. The Web interface provides detailed statistics about the router’s activities,  
signal strength, etc. The router supports DHCP, NAT, NAT-T, DynDNS, NTP, VRRP, control  
by SMS, and many other functions.  
The router provides diagnostic functions which include automatically monitoring the PPP  
connection, automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hardware watchdog that  
monitors the router status. The user may insert Linux scripts to control various router  
functions and create up to four different configurations for the same router. These  
configuration files can include different SMS functionality and binary input configurations.  
You may switch between different configurations whenever necessary. The router can  
automatically upgrade its configuration and firmware from your central server. This allows for  
mass reconfiguration of numerous routers at the same time. Additional software like  
SmartCluster VPN Server and R-SeeNet for router monitoring are also supported.

4.0 Mounting Recommendations  
The router may be placed on a work surface.  
Clips are included for mounting the router on a standard DIN rail.  
The router may be installed in an industrial instrument panel.  
For best performance, please consider the following guidelines:  
When using the supplied whip antennas, maintain a distance of 6 cm from cables and  
metal surfaces on every side. When using an external antenna, unless in a switch-  
board, it is necessary to fit a lightning conductor  
When mounting a router on sheet steel we recommend using an external antenna.  
If the router is installed in a metal instrument enclosure, an external antenna must be  
used and it must be mounted outside of the metal enclosure.

SPECTRE Router User Manual  
We recommend binding the cables together to avoid coupling noise onto the cables.  
1. Length: The combination of power supply and data cables can be a maximum of 1.5  
meters.  
2. If the length of the data cables exceeds 1.5 meters or if the cable leads towards the  
switch panel, we recommend installing overvoltage protectors (surge suppressors).  
3. Do not bundle the data cables with 120/230V power cables.  
4. All wiring to sensors should use shielded twisted pairs.  
Fig. 4: Cable routing  
Leave enough space around the connectors for the handling of cables.

The router requires a +10 V to +30 V DC supply. Protection against reversed polarity is built  
into the router.  
The power consumption during receiving is 1W. The peak power consumption during data  
sending is 5.5W. For correct operation, the power source must be able to supply a peak  
current of 600mA.  
The power cable connects to the router via locking screws. (See Fig. 21)

5.4 Antenna Connector  
The two large cellular antennas are connected to the router using the standard SMA antenna  
connectors on the front panel. The main cellular antenna connection is labeled ANT. The  
router cannot operate without a main antenna. The receive diversity antenna connection is  
labeled DIV. This antenna improves the receive sensitivity of the router and should be used  
in areas with weak signal strength.  
On SPECTRE Cellular routers with Wi-Fi, a third antenna is connected to the AUX antenna  
connector on the front panel.  
The AUX connector on the Wi-Fi units is a reverse-polarity SMA connector and should  
only be used with the smaller Wi-Fi antenna. Do not attempt to connect the cellular  
antennas to this connector as it can damage the connector and the antennas.  
Example of antenna:  
Fig. 11: External antenna  
Connect the antenna’s SMA connector to the router’s SMA connector. (See figure below).

5.7.2 RS-485/422 Ports  
The RS-485/422 ports can be powered using the internal 3.3V supply or by  
connecting an external power supply to the port connector. External or internal power is  
selected by jumpers J2 and J3 on the RS-485 module daughter board. To use internal  
power, place jumpers J2 and J3 across pins 2 and 3. To select external power, jumpers J2  
and J3 must be on pins 1 and 2.  
Interface behavior of module Expansion port RS485/RS422 can be made by wiring  
Jumpers J4, J5 and J6 on the RS-485 module select the mode of the port either RS-485 or  
RS-422 mode. If RS485 is required, jumpers J4 and J5 must be connected and jumper J6  
disconnected. If RS422 is required, jumpers J4 and J5 must be disconnected and jumper J6  
connected.  
Jumper placement can be seen in the picture below (RS-485 module is viewed from  
the top).  
Internal power supply should only be used in the event that it is not possible to  
provide an external power supply.

5.7.3 I/O Port  
The I/O port user interface (CNT) is used to monitor analog and binary input signals  
and to control binary output signals. The interface has 6 inputs and 1 output. Two of the  
inputs can be configured as binary counter inputs or general purpose binary inputs. There  
are also 2 dedicated binary inputs, 2 analog current inputs, and 1 open-collector output. The  
options for the I/O port are configured by writing to register values on the I/O board using the  
MODBUS ASCII protocol.  
The unit can periodically store the values of the inputs in memory. These log entries  
can be read by reading the individual memory locations. Up to 224 log entries may be stored.  
The logging interval can range from 1-65535 minutes.  
5.7.3.1 Analog Inputs  
The analog current inputs have a range from 0 to 20mA. The input impedance is  
100 Ω and the ADC resolution is 12 bits. The averaging and sampling period may be  
adjusted by the user. Also, alarms thresholds may be set for each input.  
The ADC value stored in memory is calculated using the following equation:  
ADC Value = ((12b value + addit. constant) * multiplic. constant)/1000  
where the constants are programmed into memory by the user.  
5.7.3.2 Binary Input  
The binary input is sampled 8x per second with a sampling period of 1/64 seconds.  
The active level for each binary input may be set to either a logic 0 or logic 1. The inputs may  
be configured to generate an alarm when they become active. The input threshold for  
detecting a logic 1 can be set at either 8uA or 20mA using a jumper on the module board.  
5.7.3.3 Counter Input  
The counter inputs have a maximum input frequency of 100 Hz. The minimum input  
pulse width is 1ms. The counter input may be configured to generate an alarm when a  
threshold is reached.  
5.7.3.4 Binary Output  
The binary output is a transistor with an open collector output. In the inactive state  
(logic 0) the transistor is off. In the active state (log. 1), the transistor is on and will connect  
the output signal to ground (GND). The output transistor is rated at 100 mA and 30V.  
The output may be configured to generate a pulse from 125 to 8000ms in length. It is  
also possible to configure the unit so that the output will become active when counter 1  
(CNT1) reaches a threshold.

5.7.3.5 Selecting the Binary Input Current  
The input threshold for detecting a logic 1 can be set at either 8uA or 20mA using a jumper  
on the module board. When jumper J4 is shorted, the threshold current level is 20 mA.  
When jumper J4 is not shorted, the threshold current level is 8μA. A threshold current value  
of 20mA has a higher resistance to noise on the input but also dissipates more power.

Typical connection of the I/O port circuits:  
Fig. 32: Connection of the I/O Port circuitry  
The I/O Port registers are read and written using MODBUS ASCII slave protocol over serial  
port 1. Using this protocol, it is possible to configure the I/O board, read the input status, and control  
the output. The I/O port communicates at 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (8N1).

7.1 Starting the router  
Connect power to the router. In the default setting the router will start to login automatically  
to the preset APN. The Ethernet port DHCP server will assign device addresses. The  
behavior of the router can be modified by means of the Web or Telnet interface, as described  
in the configuration manual.  
The power consumption during receiving is 2W. The peak power consumption during data  
sending is 5.5 W. For correct operation the power source must be able to supply a peak  
current of 600mA.  
7.2 Configuring the router  
Attention! The cellular carrier and network must be configured in the router prior to use. For  
UMTS and LTE networks, the router will not operate without a SIM card. The SIM card must  
be provisioned for the necessary network (LTE/HSPA+/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS). For 3G CDMA  
networks, the router is provisioned over-the-air. Refer to the Configuration manual for details  
on configuring the router based on the cellular carrier and network.

8.0 Troubleshooting  
8.1 FAQ  
Q. I have NAT enabled. My equipment is not connecting to the network  
The device's gateway has to be configured as the router.  
Q. The router resets itself and the Ethernet connection fails.  
The router will not function without an antenna. Keep the antenna as far as possible  
from the power supply.  
Q. I can’t access the Web server over NAT.  
The remote http access of the router has to be disabled, the default server address  
has to be your web server and the gateway of the web server has to be the IP of the  
router.  
Q. PPP connection fails. (DAT LED off)  
Check signal power. If signal power is weak you will need a better antenna. If the  
neighboring cells have a similar signal strength, you will need to use a directional  
antenna. For proper operation, the signal levels have to be in the range from -50dBm  
to -90dBm. It is necessary to set ping, which will check the connection and, in the  
case of failed ping, restart the connection.  
Q. PPP connection cannot be established. (DAT LED off)  
Recheck GPRS settings - APN, name, password and IP address.  
Try to enter PIN verify if the SIM card has the PIN code set.  
In a private APN, switch the DNS server send off.  
Switch the system log on and observe where the error occurs.  
Q. FTP doesn’t function.  
Router doesn’t support active FTP mode. It supports passive mode only.  
Q. RS-232 doesn’t function.  
Verify that the router supports RS-232 communications. Also verify the RS-232  
communication settings. To do so, open the router’s configuration menu via the web  
browser, select the appropriate expansion port and verify the settings in the  
configuration menu.  
Q. L2TP or IPSec isn’t establishing.  
Check the system log for error messages.

Q. I switched the router to offline mode by SMS message, but the router is in online mode  
after restart.  
SMS messages do not change the router configuration. They remain in effect only  
until the router is restarted.
