Quick Installation

This chapter describes how to conﬁgure the WAN network interfaces on Arctic 3G.

3.1 Connection principle

Arctic 3G has three network interfaces, Ethenet WAN, Mobile WAN (3G) and Ethernet LAN. WAN interfaces

are used for connecting Arctic 3G to public Internet or private APN. Ethernet LAN is used for connecting other

Ethernet devices to Arctic 3G’s local network.

WAN interfaces can be conﬁgured to get redundant system where one WAN automatically gets traﬃc if the

other one goes down. For example, if the Ethernet LAN goes down, the traﬃc will be automatically switched to

mobile 3G and back when the Ethernet interface comes up again. This way the availability of the remote system

will be better than with just one interface.

3.2 Connecting cables

1. Verify that the power switch is in the OFF position

2. Connect the Ethernet cable between Arctic 3G (Ethernet LAN connector) and your conﬁguration computer

3. Connect power supply to Arctic 3G and toggle power the switch to ON position

4. The error LED should turn on immediately after the power switch turned on

5. After the system has initialized, the Error LED turns oﬀ and the RUN LED starts to blink

3.3 Logging in to Arctic 3G

This section describes how to log in to Arctic 3G using web conﬁguration menu.

1. Conﬁgure your computer to use the same IP address space than Arctic 3G (laptop IP for example 10.10.10.11

with netmask 255.0.0.0). Check with ping command.

2. Connect to the Arctic 3G using your web browser. The default IP address of Arctic 3G is 10.10.10.10

(netmask 255.0.0.0). Note that you have to connect to a HTTPS port (see ﬁgure 3.1).

Figure 3.1: Browser https example

3. Your browser may mention about certiﬁcates, you can safely ignore them at this point.

4. When you get to the login screen, enter username and password and press Login button. The actual screen

depends on the used web browser.
