The ERT1000 has a USB host port. The LyconSys LTE models 4G3LTE and 4G4LTE are connected via USB and appear as network interface. Configuration is via the router’s web interface: set WAN port to USB modem, enter your mobile operator’s APN. Static IP or PPPoE is optional.

The MDCV-1G supports SFP modules of class 1000BASE-SX/LX and 1000BASE-T. Tested and recommended are SFP modules from established manufacturers (e.g. Cisco-compatible SX/LX modules, RJ45 transceivers). Exotic wavelength modules or 10G SFP+ are not supported. For questions on specific model numbers contact support@lyconsys.com.

For VPN routers (ERT1000, ERT50): Hold the reset button on the back for at least 10 seconds until the status LED blinks. When released, the device restarts and boots with factory settings. For modems and media converters the procedure is described in the user manual; often via a small reset hole with a pin.

The LyconSys VPN routers support IPSec (IKEv1/IKEv2) and OpenVPN. IPSec is suitable for site-to-site connections and connection to existing enterprise VPN gateways. OpenVPN enables more flexible client configurations. Both protocols use hardware acceleration for encryption.

Download the current firmware from the download area. Via the router’s web interface open the menu item “System” → “Firmware Upgrade”. Select the .bin file and start the upload. The process takes about 2–3 minutes; the device restarts automatically. Do not disconnect power during the update.

Solid green: Device running, connection active. Blinking green: Data traffic. Orange/yellow: Maintenance or fault (see user manual for product-specific meanings). Red or off: Fault or device off. The exact LED legend per product is in the datasheet and user manual.

LyconSys products are designed for industrial use: typical operating temperature –25°C to +60°C, storage –40°C to +85°C. Relative humidity 5–95% non-condensing. Protection class IP20 (indoor cabinet). Exact values per product can be found in the datasheet.

Operate devices only with the approved power supply. For DIN-rail mounting observe the connection and mounting instructions. Disconnect power before opening the enclosure. Do not insert metallic objects into openings. In case of damage or unusual behaviour (odour, heat) disconnect from power immediately and contact support.

Yes. By default the ERT1000 assigns DHCP addresses in the LAN address range 192.168.1.0/24. The address range and lease time can be configured in the web interface under “Network” → “LAN”. For multiple network segments you can set up static routes or VLANs.

The 4G3LTE and 4G4LTE models support the LTE bands common in Europe (B1, B3, B7, B8, B20, etc.). The exact band list can be found in the respective datasheet. For use outside Europe check your mobile operator’s frequency coverage.

Follow the instructions for resetting to factory settings.

The router boot process essentially consists of 3 steps:

• Loading and starting the base firmware
• Loading and unpacking all installed software packages
• Initialising the router and starting all system services

Depending on the size and number of installed software packages, the boot process is extended accordingly.

To reboot the router via software, use the event control. You find the event control in the main menu under Basic Settings, then under Reboot. There you can click the Reboot now button to restart the device.

The MAC addresses of the network interfaces are factory-programmed and cannot be changed by the user.
