Step 2) 3G/3.5G Internet Configuration
3G-6200n supports most of 3G/3.5G modem cards, just connect the modem
card to the USB port of 3G-6200n and 3G-6200n will recognize it
automatically, no additional setup procedure required. However, some of
modem cards require PIN code or account / password (you have to use
3G-6200n’s web interface to input these information), and some modem cards
requires you to connect the modem card with your PC and install driver / utility
before you connect it with 3G-6200n (all PCs which need to access Internet
by 3G-6200n requires to perform this procedure once). If you still not able to
connect to Internet, please use wired Internet connection to access our
website :http://www.edimax.com/ ,download latest version of firmware and
upgrade 3G-6200n’s firmware. If you still not be able to get connected by your
3G/3.5G modem card, please contact your dealer of purchase and provide the
model name of the 3G/3.5G modem card you have, we’ll try our best to help
you to solve the problem.
Only one Internet connection (wireless / wired) can be used at the same time.
Wireless connection (3G/3.5G) will be selected first, and use wired Internet
connection as backup. Therefore, please DO NOT connect your 3G/3.5G
modem card with 3G-6200n, or your telecomm service provider may charge
you with high communication fee. For example, if you connect 3G/3.5G
modem card with 3G-6200n when you’re using wired Internet connection,
wired connection will be dropped and use 3G/3.5G wireless connection
instead. If 3G/3.5G wireless signal reception is poor and the connection can
not be restored within 60 seconds, 3G-6200n will use wired Internet
connection again, and will not switch back to wireless Internet connection
(This only happens with wired Internet connection is available. If wired
connection is unavailable, 3G-6200n will try to establish 3G/3.5G wireless
connection again and again). If you want to use 3G/3.5G wireless connection
again, you need to remove 3G/3.5G modem card from 3G-6200n and
reconnect it back after 5 seconds.
( A ) Plug and play, no setup procedure required.
Connect the USB 3G/3.5G modem card with 3G-6200n and make sure the
corresponding USB LED indicator of 3G-6200n lights up, then you can use the
web browser to access Internet.
( B ) PIN code or user name / password required:
Please check the authentication method you want to use. Most of telecomm
service providers require you to input PIN Code, please check ‘SIM’ and input
the PIN code provided by telecomm service provider. Most of options listed
here are optional and you don’t have to provide those information if telecomm
service provider doesn’t provide you with those information.
20
If telecomm provider provides you with username / password, please check
/User Name / Password box and input the user name / password provided by
telecomm service provider, then click ‘OK’ button. Wait for 1 minute (for
3G-6200n to reboot), then you can access Internet.

in “Network Settings” unless your ISP ask you input them in both.
Note: Please choose “CDMA”, if your ISP use 3G CDMA system.
21
( C ) Driver / Utility required on PC side
Some 3G/3.5G modem card does not work with instructions (A) or (B) listed
above (ex. BandLuxe C100S). You need to install 3G/3.5G modem card driver
/ utility on every PC which needs to access Internet first. After driver / utility
installation is complete, every PC will be able to access Internet via 3G/6200n.

modem card, or via wired xDSL / cable modem connection. However, only
one connection method (wireless or wired) can be used at the same time.
Related instructions will be given as follow.
3G-6200n supports most of 3G/3.5G modem cards, just connect the modem
card to the USB port of 3G-6200n and 3G-6200n will recognize it
automatically, no additional setup procedure required. However, some of
modem cards require PIN code or account / password (you have to use
3G-6200n’s web interface to input these information), and some modem cards
requires you to connect the modem card with your PC and install driver / utility
before you connect it with 3G-6200n (all PCs which need to access Internet
by 3G-6200n requires to perform this procedure once). If you still not able to
connect to Internet, please use wired Internet connection to access our
website :http://www.edimax.com/ ,download latest version of firmware and
upgrade 3G-6200n’s firmware. If you still not be able to get connected by your
3G/3.5G modem card, please contact your dealer of purchase and provide the
model name of the 3G/3.5G modem card you have, we’ll try our best to help
you to solve the problem.
Only one Internet connection (wireless / wired) can be used at the same time.
Wireless connection (3G/3.5G) will be selected first, and use wired Internet
connection as backup. Therefore, please DO NOT connect your 3G/3.5G
modem card with 3G-6200n, or your telecomm service provider may charge
you with high communication fee. For example, if you connect 3G/3.5G
modem card with 3G-6200n when you’re using wired Internet connection,
wired connection will be dropped and use 3G/3.5G wireless connection
instead. If 3G/3.5G wireless signal reception is poor and the connection can
not be restored within 60 seconds, 3G-6200n will use wired Internet
connection again, and will not switch back to wireless Internet connection
(This only happens with wired Internet connection is available. If wired
connection is unavailable, 3G-6200n will try to establish 3G/3.5G wireless
connection again and again). If you want to use 3G/3.5G wireless connection
again, you need to remove 3G/3.5G modem card from 3G-6200n and
reconnect it back after 5 seconds.
( A ) Plug and play, no setup procedure required.
Connect the USB 3G/3.5G modem card with 3G-6200n and make sure the
corresponding USB LED indicator of 3G-6200n lights up, then you can use the
web browser to access Internet.
48
( B ) PIN code or user name / password required:
Please check the authentication method you want to use. Most of telecomm
service providers require you to input PIN Code, please check ‘SIM’ and input
the PIN code provided by telecomm service provider. Most of options listed
here are optional and you don’t have to provide those information if telecomm
service provider doesn’t provide you with those information.
If telecomm provider provides you with username / password, please check

Glossary
Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs a default
gateway. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is
not in the same network, the device will send the packet to default
gateway, which will then forward it to the destination.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol
automatically assigns an IP address for every computer in your network.
DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System, which
allows Internet servers to have a domain name (such as
www.Broadbandrouter.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as
192.34.45.8). A DNS server will maintain a database of domain names
and respective IP addresses, so when a domain name is requested (like
typing “Broadbandrouter.com” in your Internet browser), the user will get
the corresponding IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the
computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your
ISP has assigned to you.
DSL Modem: DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem
uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.
Ethernet: A kind of standard of computer networks. Ethernet networks
are connected by special cables and hubs, and transfers data at up to
10/100 million bits per second (Mbps).
Idle Timeout: Idle timeout is designed so that after no traffic has been
transferred to the Internet for a pre-configured amount of time, the
connection will be disconnected automatically.
IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask: IP stands for Internet
Protocol. An IP address consists four sets of numbers separated by
periods, which identifies a single, unique Internet computer host in an IP
network. Example: 192.168.2.1. It consists of 2 portions: the IP network
address, and the host identifier.
The IP address is a 32-bit binary pattern, which can be represented as
four cascaded decimal numbers separated by “.”: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa,
where each “aaa” can be anything from 000 to 255, or as four cascaded
binary numbers separated by “.”:
bbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb, where each “b” can either be
0 or 1.
A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern, and consists of
consecutive leading 1’s followed by consecutive trailing 0’s, such as
11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a
110
network mask can also be described simply as “x” number of leading 1’s.
When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in
the IP address that correspond to 1’s in the network mask become part
of the IP network address, and the remaining bits correspond to the host
ID.
For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form,
11011001.10110000.1001
0000.00000111, and if its network mask is,
11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000
It means the device’s network address is
11011001.10110000.1001
0000.00000000, and its host ID is,
00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111
. This is a convenient and
efficient method for routers to route IP packets to their destination.
ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP listed below for explanations). The
ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at
the ISP's office.
ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides
connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or
organizations.
LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices
connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an
office). Your home network is considered as a LAN.
MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address
is the hardware address of a device connected to a network. The MAC
address is a unique identifier for a device with an Ethernet interface. It
comprises two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the
Manufacturer ID (which is unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes
that are often used as the product’s serial number.
NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the
computers on your home network to use one IP address. Using the
broadband router’s NAT capability, you can access the Internet from
any computer on your home network without having to purchase more
IP addresses from your ISP.
Port: Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to identify one
network application/protocol from another. Below is a list of common
applications and protocol/port numbers:
Application Protocol Port Number
Telnet TCP 23
111
FTP TCP 21
SMTP TCP 25
POP3 TCP 110
H.323 TCP 1720
SNMP UCP 161
SNMP Trap UDP 162
HTTP TCP 80
PPTP TCP 1723
PC Anywhere TCP 5631
PC Anywhere UDP 5632
PPPoE: Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is
a secure data transmission method originally created for dial-up
connections; PPPoE is for Ethernet connections. PPPoE relies on two
widely accepted standards, Ethernet and the Point-to-Point Protocol. It
is a communications protocol for transmitting information over Ethernet
between different manufacturers
Protocol: A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed between
multiple parties so that when they communication with each other based
on such a protocol, the interpretation of their behavior is well defined
and can be made objectively, without confusion or misunderstanding.
Router: A router is an intelligent network device that forwards packets
between different networks based on network layer address information
such as IP addresses.
Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP
information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g.
255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP
address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to
valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be
assigned by InterNIC).
TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
and Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard
protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are
transport layer protocol. TCP performs proper error detection and error
recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the other hand is not reliable.
They both run on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a network layer
protocol.
WAN: Stands for Wide Area Network. A network that connects
computers located in geographically separated areas (e.g. different
112
buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network, too.
Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI): Many
devices support graphical user interface that is based on the web
browser. This means the user can use their familiar web browser (ex.
Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer) to control/configure or monitor
the device being managed.
