11.2.8 How can I reset the cellular router’s IP address to default
The IP address can be reset to default by the following actions.
Read the following fully as you need to take action at certain points within a short period of time.
The reason for forcing these actions is to prevent an accidental overwriting of your non-default IP address.
Getting this sequence correct may take a few tries.
Power the unit up with the Ethernet connector NOT PLUGGED IN.
The front lights will flash, then all the light will come on.
When all the lights have come on, not before, not after they have gone off, plug a live Ethernet jack
into the Ethernet port (live as in another device is at the other end).
If you have done this correctly, the green left hand light will flash, otherwise the lights will go out
and the device will continue to boot.
Leave the Ethernet jack in until all the lights come on again. Then pull it out, but not before all the
lights have come on.
The red TX/RX light will now flash, then shortly all lights will come on again. At this point, not before
all the lights have come on, put the plug back in and leave it in. The unit will now assign Ethernet
address 192.168.1.50 to the Ethernet port. The lights will do a short 'chaser' sequence, each
coming on in turn, to confirm this has taken place.
If you have done this and you can't connect to the router, the problem is likely to be in your
computers' routing, default gateway, or mask.
