How do I configure the settings of my mobile hotspot?

Logging into the WebUI


1. Make sure your hotspot is connected to the computer or other terminal via Wi-Fi or MicroUSB cable.
2. Open a browser on your computer or other connected device, and input http://192.168.1.1/ or http://device.webui/ into the address bar. 
3. Enter your username and password, and click “Log In”.  The administrator has the right to check and modify configuration permissions.

 
Note: The default username is “admin”; the default password is “12$XXX”, where “XXX” is the last three digits of your hotspot’s IMEI.


It is highly recommended to change the default password upon first successful login to prevent any unauthorized access to your hotspot.


 
Note: You can find the default username and password printed on the device label by removing the back cover and battery.

•  WLAN MAC Filter


 MAC address filtering (also known as link-layer filtering) is a feature for IPv4 addresses that allows you to include or exclude computers and devices based on their MAC address. Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters (for example: 00:DS:GG:22:35:01).

You need to know the MAC address of the devices you wish to filter.

You can choose “Whitelist” or “Blacklist”. Both can be configured by selecting the WLAN MAC Filter option.
 
• Disable will disable the WLAN MAC filter.
• Whitelist will only allow devices with the selected MAC address(es) connect.
• Blacklist will only deny devices with the selected MAC address(es) from connecting.

In this menu, you can configure the DHCP settings. The default values are:

•  DHCP server is enabled

• Protocol: Protocols applied by services.



Example: How to set up Port Forwarding for port 21 (FTP server)


Note: This will enable you to provide access to others to your FTP server  on your LAN through WAN.

Step 1:   Assign a static IP to your local computer that is hosting the FTP server.
