Login to GUI of device

Connect router to Laptop or Desktop using a LAN connection or connect over Wi-Fi.

Make sure the laptop/desktop LAN/Wi-Fi interface is in DHCP mode.


How to make LAN/Wi-Fi network interface in DHCP mode into Windows Operating system?

To configure a LAN or Wi-Fi network interface in DHCP mode on a Windows operating system, follow these steps:

Press Windows + R, type ncpa.cpl, and press Enter to open the Network Connections window.

And locate the correct LAN/Wi-Fi interface which need to be configured as DHCP client or go to below path in the system.

Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center

In the above image select the interface Ethernet or Wi-Fi and change the IP Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and set in DHCP as shown in below image.

Note: Make sure the router’s DHCP server is not disabled if it is disabled then windows system should be configured with static IP “use the following IP address” option in above image.

Use default IP of router to access GUI.

For LAN it is 192.168.10.1 and for Wi-Fi it is 192.168.100.1 can be used to acces router in using any browser.

Note: For filed routers if the IP address is changed then the new IP belongs to interface should be used.

Default credentials to login are username/password : admin/admin but if the credentials are changed then use the correct credentials.

Once logged in to GUI the above screen can be seen where actual information of the device will be present.

Note: All the SILBO routers/gateway with model number RBxx, IAxx-x,RCxx, RDxx, GRDxx, RFxx,IExx etc GUI is same so the proces remains same.

Import Export Configuration

Navigate to Maintenance> Import/Export Config,

This allows administrators to back up or restore device configurations related to router section.

1. Export Config

Definition:

Exporting configuration means saving the current device's settings and configurations into a text file. This exported file acts as a backup or a reference for future use.

Use Cases:

  • If the device experiences failure or settings are accidentally changed, the backup file can be used to restore configurations.
  • Apply the same settings to multiple devices of the same model.
  • Keep track of configuration changes over time.

2. Import Config

Definition:

Importing configuration means loading a previously saved configuration file back into the device, effectively restoring its settings.

Use Cases:

  • Restoring configurations after a factory reset.
  • Quickly setting up multiple devices with identical configurations.
  • Troubleshooting or reverting to a previous state.

Import / Export Gateway Configuration

Navigate to Appmanager> Import/Export Application Configuration,

This allows administrators to back up or restore device configurations related to gateway section.


1. Export Config

Definition:

Exporting configuration creates a backup of the current device settings and saves it as a text file on a local machine. This file serves as a reference or can be reused for restoring or replicating the configuration.


Use Cases:

  • Maintain a copy of the settings for disaster recovery.
  • Use the file to replicate the configuration on other identical gateways.
  • Share the configuration file with technical support for analysis.


2. Import Config

Definition:

Importing configuration loads a previously exported file to restore the device's settings. This is particularly useful after a factory reset or when configuring multiple devices with the same setup.

Common Issues:

  • Version mismatch: Ensure the file corresponds to the correct firmware or hardware version.
  • Incomplete configurations: Avoid editing the configuration file unless you know the exact format and structure.

Use Cases:

  • Restoring settings after a reset or failure.
  • Applying consistent configurations across multiple gateways.


3. Reset Config

Definition:

Resetting the configuration restores the device to its factory default settings, erasing all current configurations.

Use Cases:

  • Fix issues caused by misconfigurations.
  • Prepare the gateway for deployment in a new environment.
