Select storage	Internal storage; default: Internal storage	Specifies where the TCP dump file will be stored.

Backup

The Backup page is used to generate the user's defaults configuration and download or upload backup files to the router.

User's Defaults Configuration

---

The following section is used to create a custom default configuration that will be applied after resetting the device. The corresponding preset is automatically generated according to the current router's configuration by pressing the 'Create' button.

With the help of this feature, the device can have two different default configuration presets:

• User defaults - custom configuration set by the user
• Factory defaults - default configuration set by the manufacturer

The device can be reset to selected default configuration by pressing and holding the reset button for a specified period of time.

Note: the backup file does not contain User's Defaults Configuration.

Backup and Restore Configuration

---

The Backup and Restore Configuration sections are used to download or upload configuration backup files to the router. Backup files can be uploaded only from identical devices with identical or older (no older than RUT9XX_R_00.03.726) firmware. Once a backup file is uploaded to a router, that router will have identical configuration as the router from which the backup file originated (was downloaded from).

• Backup Configuration - generates and downloads the router's backup file based on the current configuration. Section also contains MD5, SHA256 checksum fields generated from latest downloaded backup.
• Restore Configuration - uploads a configuration backup file to the router. Once uploaded you will be redirected to backup security check page.

Important: backup files can be uploaded only when taken from a device with identical Product code, which can be checked in Status → Device, and identical or older firmware.

Backup Security Check

---

After uploading backup you will be redirected to the following page to verify if the checksums of uploaded backup matches any of your downloaded backups.

Access Control

The Access Control page is used to manage remote and local access to the router.

Important: turning on remote access leaves the router vulnerable to external attackers. Make sure you use a strong password.

General

---

The General section is used to manage SSH, HTTP(S) and CLI access to the router.

Shell limit	integer [1..10]; default: 5	Maximum number of active CLI connections.

Safety

---

The Safety section is used to manage the List Of Blocked Addresses. After a user attempts to login to this devices via SSH/HTTP, he will have a limited amount of retries in case of unsuccessful login attempts. This limit is called Fail count and is set in this page. After the user exhausts the maximum number of attempts, his IP address will be blocked from making more attempts and added to the List Of Blocked Addresses.

Block Unwanted Access

---

Field	Value	Description
Enable	yes | no; default: yes	Turns secure SSH/HTTP access on or off. If this is checked, devices logging in have a limited amount of tries specified in the Fail count field to log in to the router via SSH/HTTP.
Clean after reboot	yes | no; default: no	If this field is checked, addresses are removed from the List Of Blocked Addresses after every router reboot.
Fail count	integer; default: 5	Maximum login fail count after which the device's address is blocked and added to the List Of Blocked Addresses.

List Of Blocked Addresses

---

The screenshot above is of a list that contains one blocked address. If you or someone you know gets blocked accidentally, you can unblock users from this section by deleting their IP addresses from the list.

Note: the list gets cleared after a factory reset.

Diagnostics

The Diagnostics section is used to execute simple network diagnostic tests, including ping, traceroute and nslookup.

Enter an address in the Host field and execute one of the following actions:

• Ping - sends ICMP requests to the specified address.
• Traceroute - displays the path that packets have to take in order to reach the specified address.
• Nslookup - obtains domain name address and IP address mapping information.

MAC Clone

The MAC Clone section is used to change the router's WAN MAC address. You can change the MAC address by entering a new custom value in the WAN MAC address field or click the 'Get PC MAC address' button to obtain your PC's MAC address and use it to fill the field.

In some cases access to a local network is protected by a MAC filter. For example, your company's main router may bind the MAC addresses of devices to the physical Internet sockets they usually connect to. In these cases only the device that is bound to the socket may gain access to the network. You can use MAC Clone to "clone" your PCs address and apply it to your router's WAN Ethernet port to gain access to such networks.

Overview

The Overview section is used to select which widgets should be visible in the Status → Overview page.

Simply select the widgets that you would like to view in the Overview page and click the 'Save' button.

RMS

RMS (Remote Management System) is a cloud system designed by Teltonika and intended for remote monitoring and management of Teltonika-Networks products.

In order to add a device(s) to RMS, get yourself acquainted by watching this instructional video and register an account by clicking here. Each unique device receives a free month-long RMS license when added to RMS for the first time.

---

The figure below is a screenshot of the RMS section taken from a device which has been connected to RMS:

Field	Value	Description
Connection type	Enabled | Standby | Disabled; default: Enabled	Defines how the device will connect to RMS: Enabled - the device attempts to connect to RMS every 2-5 minutes (every 2 minutes the first hour; then every 5 minutes). If it cannot connect for 14 days, it will enter Standby mode. Standby - the device attempts to connect to RMS every 6 hours. Disabled - RMS functionality is disabled.
Hostname	host | ip; default: rms.teltonika.lt	Address of the RMS server. If you're using regular RMS, just leave the default address (rms.teltonika.lt).
Port	integer [0..65535]; default: 15009	Port number for connecting to RMS. If you're using regular RMS, just leave the default port (15009).

---

The RMS server waits for incoming connections. Since the device attempts to connect at a fixed interval, it may not connect instantly after you add it to RMS. While it is disconnected, you can check how much time is left until the next connection attempt in the Status section:

To speed up the process by initiating an immediate connection attempt, click the 'Connect' button.

For more information on Teltonika's Remote Management System (RMS) refer to the RMS Manual or RMS FAQ pages.

Root CA

The Root CA section is used to add a root CA certificate file to the router. There is a default file already preloaded on the device which will be overwritten by any uploaded file. The certificates must be in .pem format, maximum file size is 300 KB. These certificates are only needed if you want to use HTTPS for your services and the default file should be sufficient in most cases.
