Cerbo GX Manual

• Partno. BPP900200200 - Gembird WNP-UA-002, slightly higher cost and also better reception.

Although other Wi-Fi dongles may work, they have not been tested and we do not offer support for other dongles.

The Wi-Fi menu shows the available networks. When a network is selected, it is possible to fill in the password (if the password is

not already known) to connect to the network. Setting up via WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is not supported.

When the Cerbo GX finds multiple Wi-Fi networks of which the password is known, the strongest network is selected automatical-

ly. When the signal of the connected network becomes too weak, it will automatically switch to a stronger network - if it knows the

password of that network.

3.3. GX GSM

Please see the GX GSM Manual.

3.4. Mobile (cellular) network using a 3G or 4G router

To connect the Cerbo GX to a mobile (cellular) network, such as a 3G or 4G network, use a cellular router. Connect the Cerbo GX

to that router with either a LAN cable or the router's Wi-Fi network.

Make sure you use a router that is designed for unattended setups. Do not use low cost consumer-grade routers intended for

business or leisure travel. A more expensive professional router will quickly pay for itself, and you won't have wasted journeys

simply to perform a re-set. Examples of such professional routers are the H685 4G LTE from Proroute, as well as the Industrial

4G router range from Pepwave.

Note that the Cerbo GX does not support USB 3G/4G dongles, other than the GX GSM available from Victron.

3.5. USB tethering using a mobile phone

This is a useful facility when it works - but don't rely on it because it has not proved very dependable. Consult the internet for

instructions about tethering for your phone and its particular operating system. We have heard of it working on:

• Samsung Galaxy S4

…but not on:

• iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1.1

3.6. IP Configuration

Almost no installations will need the IP address configuration to be inserted manually as most systems support automatic IP con-

figuration (DHCP) - and that is also the Cerbo GX default setting. If you do need to configure the address manually, select the

following template:

Complete details of IP requirements, as well as used port numbers will be found in the VRM FAQ - ports and connections used by

the Cerbo GX.
