'''Prerequisites''':
'''Prerequisites''':
* TRB series device with Ethernet port.
* TRB series device with Ethernet port.
* Router or a gateway that could provide TRB with internet connectivity.
* Router or a gateway that could provide TRB with internet connectivity (make sure that the LAN IPs of the TRB and the router '''do not match''').
* End device for configuration.
* End device for configuration.
With this, the configuration is done.
With this, the configuration is done.
==How to reach the device through the WAN port==
Once the configuration has been finished, connect the TRB to the router to supply an internet connection to the TRB. If you'd like to reach and configure the device, then you would need to know what WAN IP address it currently uses. To find out, you would need to reach your router and check the DHCP leases.
For example, on the Teltonika router, you could check the lease by navigating to '''Status → Network → LAN'''. Here we can see that the TRB has been leased a '''192.168.10.115''' IP address:

Also, the command line could be used to check the DHCP lease. Use '''arp''' command to find the device and a corresponding IP address:

Using this IP ('''192.168.10.115''') you should be able to reach the device:

'''Note''': If you need to reach SSH using the same IP, make sure to enable '''Remote SSH access''' in the '''System → Administration → Access Control''' section.
==Testing the configuration==
If the device does not have SIM inserted, simply navigate to '''System → Maintenance → Troubleshoot''' and look for '''Diagnostics''' section. Here you can check if the device is able to reach the internet:

If the device does have SIM inserted, you will need to change the WAN interface metric first. To do so, switch the WebUI to advanced, navigate to '''Network → WAN''' and place the '''lan_to_wan''' interface in the top position:
