Setup Guide

The Setup Guide provides a wizard-based interface that helps administrators perform the initial device configuration. The guide presents a sequence of screens that walk users through configuring administrator credentials, LTE/5G modem settings, WAN connectivity, LAN and DHCP parameters, firmware options, and configuration review.

The wizard begins with the Password/Timezone screen, where administrators can change the default administrator password to secure management access and configure the system time zone for accurate system logs and scheduled operations. The screen also provides an option to automatically adjust the system clock for daylight saving time. After these settings are configured, the wizard proceeds through the LTE/5G modem, WAN, LAN/DHCP, and firmware configuration screens before presenting a summary of all selected settings for review and confirmation.
