Teldat S.A. 2 Introduction
Chapter 2 Introduction
• The Teldat 4Ge always operates with the corporate network output router, routing traffic to the WWAN network in
cases where the main corporate output router drops its main connection.
• The technology used in the WWAN access depends on the wireless modem incorporated in the device. The mo-
dem provides access to the HSPA+/LTE networks for data transmission.
• The device has two possible power sources: external, through an element supplied together with the device, or
through POE (Power over Ethernet). In cases where both are present, the external power source takes priority.

2 Introduction Teldat S.A.
There are two types of connection between the Teldat 4Ge and the output corporate router:
(1) Connecting the Teldat 4Ge to the corporate network as an additional device on the network, sharing the Ether-
net network with the corporate router.
Fig. 3: Connecting the Teldat 4Ge to the Corporate Router through a Switch
(2) If the corporate router has more than one Ethernet interface, you can connect a 10 BaseT cable directly from
the router to the Teldat 4Ge, as shown in the following figure.

Teldat S.A. 2 Introduction
The section on how to configure the DHCP protocol explains how to identify the devices and the DHCP client and
server. It also describes what configuration information is sent to the Teldat 4Ge.

2 Introduction Teldat S.A.
The next step, once the Teldat 4Ge has a valid IP address, is to set the data backup mechanism.
The latter is performed by VLAN 463. Through this VLAN, the Teldat 4Ge assigns the public IP it has obtained to the
router's Ethernet subinterface belonging to the same VLAN and sets a new default route to redirect traffic to the 4G
network.

3.1.1 DHCP
The Cisco router acts as the DHCP server for the Teldat 4Ge. We use this protocol to configure certain parameters
in the Teldat 4Ge (such as the SIM PIN number, the WWAN mobile network APN and the user and password neces-
sary for authentication on the mobile network).
The client-identifier specifies the client-id that the router must receive in order to accept the DHCP request from
the Teldat 4Ge. In this case, it is “teldat” in ASCII (74656c646174 in hexadecimal).
Using option 43 you can pass the configuration parameters to the Teldat 4Ge so it can operate.
• The sentence syntax that we send consists of parameters separated by the & character.
• We don’t have to have all of the parameters.
• If a parameter isn’t sent, then the result depends on the default parameter value.
• If you have to enter a special character, you can use the % symbol followed by the ascii value with 2 hexadecimal
8 Teldat 4Ge
Teldat S.A. 3 Configuration
digits. E.g. the ‘&’ character would be %26. So to enter an apn equal to access&network.es, you can enter it as
apn=access%26network.es.
• Some parameters have a shortened version. For instance, the short version for password is pwd.
The first word contained in option 43 should be “antenna”. Since the device accepts the address offered by the
router, if you don’t enter this word the Teldat 4Ge won’t accept said address.
• “ pin=NNNN ”, allows you to configure the PIN number for the SIM card used in the Teldat 4Ge.
• “ apn= ”, configures the APN in the 4G network to which the Teldat 4Ge is going to be connected to.
• “ apntype= ”, configures the APN type in the 4G network to which the Teldat 4Ge is going to be connected to. It
can be ipv4v6 or ipv6. If it is not configured by default, it will be ip (for IPV4 APNs).
• “ user= ”, or “ usr= ” allows the user to be configured so that it authenticates in the mobile operator’s APN.
• “ password= ”, or “ pwd= ”allows the password to be configured so that it authenticates in the mobile operator’s
APN.
• “ rxtimeout=T ”, or “ rxto=T ”, indicates that the transmission and reception packets are monitored. After T
seconds, if a response to a transmitted packet hasn’t been received, connections with the router and the access
module for the WWAN network are restarted. You can configure a value between 10 and 86399 seconds. This
parameter is deactivated by default.
• “ flowcontrol=N ”, or “ flow=N ”, indicates that the transmission and reception packets are monitored. After N
transmitted packets, if nothing has been received, connections with the router and the access module for the
WWAN network are restarted. You can configure a value between 1 and 65535 packets. This parameter is deactiv-
ated by default.
• “ ntpserver=AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD ” , or “ ntps=AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD ” , NTP server IP address used to syn-
chronize the device.
• “ ntpoffset=N ”, or “ ntpoffset=N ”, the time is expressed in GMT + ntpoffset. Default value is 2, i.e. GMT + 2. Ac-
ceptable values range from -12 to +12, in 1-hour intervals.
• “ mode= ”, helps select the technology that should be used to connect to the mobile network. This value can be
one of auto, gprs , wcdma , gprsp , wcdmap , lte , cdma , hrpd or hybrid . The gprsp and wcdmap modes indic-
ate that the technology used should preferably be GPRS or WCDMA. The default value is auto .
• “ domain= ”, or “ dmn= ”, allows the user to select the domain that the device will connect to. This value can be
cs , ps , cs+ps . Since voice call support is not yet implemented, we recommend using the ps domain. The default
domain is ps .
• “ idletime=T ” , or “ idle=T ”, configures the idle time (in seconds) for the 4G network session. If, when the ses-
sion is established, this timer times out before receiving a new packet from the router, the Teldat 4Ge considers
the session to be down and drops it. Acceptable values range from 0 to 65535 seconds. By default this parameter
is not configured (equivalent to having a value 0).
• “ atafterpin= ”, or “ aft= ”, or “ beforepin= ”, or “ bef= ”, allows the user to configure an additional AT command
that is sent during the 4G module´s startup. It is generally used to send a certain network or modem parameter.
• “ coveragetimer=N ”, or “ ct=N ”, configures the sample period for the 4G network coverage values (Rx_level,
RSCP and EcIo). The N value is between 10 and 255 seconds. By default this is 60 seconds.
• “ clientid=no ”, or “ cid=no ” deactivates the client identifier that sends in the DHCP petitions. This is for configur-
ations with various Teldat 4Ge devices and Cisco routers.
• “ regdenied=1 ” , or “ regd=1 ”, activates the feature that switches off the 4G module radio interface for 5 seconds
in cases when the network initially denies registration (registration DENIED). This means you can avoid this state
and the module can be re-registered in the 4G network.
• “ pnum=N ”, or “ profilenum=N ”, selects the calling profile that the ESR-WWAN-ENABLER will use to make the
data call. This will allow you to select the calling profile of modules that make OTA ( Over The Air) APN provisioning
(i.e., without having to add an APN in the configuration). It admits values that range from 1 to 12.
• “ auth= ” , if the data APN requires authentication, this parameter allows you to select its type. This can be chap ,
pap or none if no authentication is required. If this parameter is not included, the authentication is pap by default.
• “ regapn= ”, configures the registration APN of the 4G network that the Teldat 4Ge is going to be registered in. If
the registration APN and the data APN are the same, we recommend using "reagapn=" and "pnum=1".
• “ regapntype= ”, configures the registration APN type in the 4G network where the Teldat 4Ge is going to be re-
gistered. It can be ipv4v6 or ipv6. If it is not configured by default, it will be IP.
Teldat 4Ge 9
3 Configuration Teldat S.A.
• “ regauth= ”, if the registration APN requires authentication, this parameter allows you to select its type. This can
be chap or pap .
• “ regusr= ” , if the registration APN requires authentication, this parameter allows you to configure the user.
• “ regpwd= ”, if the registration APN requires authentication, this parameter allows you to configure the password.
Note
You must replace the values in the example with the values that are relevant for the specific applica-
tion.
You must pay particular attention when entering the PIN for the SIM you’re going to insert into the Teld-
at 4Ge. If you enter the wrong PIN, the SIM may block.
If you enter the PIN incorrectly, the Teldat 4Ge will not try to use the SIM again until the PIN has been
changed or the device rebooted.
The following example may be used as a guideline configuration for Teldat routers:

3.2.1 DHCP
Just like Cisco routers, Teldat routers can act as the DHCP server for the Teldat 4Ge. We use this protocol to config-
ure certain parameters in the Teldat 4Ge (such as the SIM PIN number and the WWAN mobile network APN).

The router option assigns a default route to the Teldat 4Ge. This route is necessary if, for example, the Teldat 4Ge
and the TFTP server are in different networks.
The client-id option indicates the “client-id ” that the router is expecting to receive in the DHCP request from the
Teldat 4Ge. This value must be the “antenna” characteristics.
Through option 43, the Teldat 4Ge receives the essential parameters for the configuration so it can operate. The
syntax and meaning is the same as that described under section DHCP on page 8 in the section Configuring a Cisco
router on page 7.
The first word contained in option 43 should be “antenna”. Since the device accepts the address offered by the
router, if you don’t enter this word the Teldat 4Ge won’t accept said address.

Teldat S.A. 4 Monitoring via the console
We can obtain information about the wireless network that we are connected to using the network command.
For example, we can check on what cell we are registered in with using the network cell-info command.
We can also check the strength of the network signal and the technology being used by the module using the net-
work status command.
The network performance command shows graphical representations of the three parameters that help choose the
best location for the device.
