How do you set up the RUT950 Teltonika router?
To set up the Teltonika RUT950, you need a Soracom account, a Soracom SIM card, and a computer or tablet in addition to the router itself. Start by registering your SIM card. Remove the SIM card from its package and use the eject tool that comes with the Teltonika router RUT950 to depress the eject button for the SIM card tray.
When the card tray is released, put the SIM on the card, and ensure you're orienting it properly. Then, insert the tray back into the Teltonika router RUT950.
Plug the power adapter and give the router a few minutes to boot. Now, you just have to configure the APN settings of the SIM card and let the router search for the cellular network and connect to it.
Follow the steps below for configuration:
-
Connect to the Wi-Fi network the router broadcasts using your tablet or phone. You can see the default username and password on the back of the router.
-
Type http://192.168.1.1 in the web browser to open the configuration screen.
-
Log in to the WebUI. The default username is "admin," and the password is "admin01".
-
After logging in, you will see the status overview page for the router. Go to "Network" and then to "Mobile."
-
In the section for the APN setting, type "soracom.io." You may have to uncheck the "Auto" checkbox to enter these settings.
-
Make sure you uncheck the "Deny Data Roaming" box too. It's fine if the other settings have their default values.
-
Click on the "Save" button to confirm the changes.
The device will take a few minutes to save these settings. After the configuration has been reloaded, the router will search for available networks and connect to one automatically. Go to the Status menu and then select "Overview" to check the cellular connection status.
If you have any queries, contact Teltonika support.
Do Teltonika products have stand-alone or automatic failover?
Auto failover is a feature that allows a device or service to automatically switch to a backup system or path if the primary one fails.
There are two types of auto failover: link and node.
-
Link failover: The backup system is activated when the primary link becomes inactive.
-
Node failover: The backup system is activated when a device becomes inactive on the primary side.
The routers will automatically switch to the backup path when the primary connection goes down. Teltonika routers Failover feature is available in the Cellular menu, and it can be enabled for both WAN and LAN ports. Additionally, you can set a priority for each port. The router will try to use the port with the higher priority first, and if that fails, it will use the port with the lower priority.
When configuring failover, you will also need to specify a backup gateway. This is the IP address of the device or service that will be used as the backup connection. You can find this information in your account with the provider of the backup service.
Many Teltonika devices have this feature, which can be enabled in the configuration menu. The Teltonika RUTX11 Industrial Cellular Routers have Teltonika failover along with backup WAN. These routers also have a wide range of other features, such as cellular speeds of up to 300Mbps, dual-band Wi-Fi, support for multiple protocols, and compatibility with the company's Remote Management System.
Can Teltonika routers be used for failover with a router?
Yes, many Teltonika models are compatible with failover. Browse modems on Novotech and look for the specs or contact our sales team for a one-on-one consultation.
How much is the remote management software for the modem?
