Node Manager allows configuration of the Node in a stand alone mode, usually to work with third party devices such as cameras and routers.
For more documentation on specific configurations:
- Configuring the Teradek Node for Sony ENG
- Configuration of the Node for OpenWRT
Requirements
- Windows 10 / 11 Computer
- Administrator access
- USB A or USB C port
- Teradek Data Purchase (optional)
Installation
Install the Node Manager with administrative access. Install accompanying driver package.
Configuration
1. Plug the SIM into the Node, if using the built in Teradek Data eSIM skip this step.
2. Plug the Node into your Computer and Open the Node Manager.
General Info
The General Info page provides a general overview of the Node information
Node Details
- Model of Node
- Version of Firmware - Firmware version of the Modem. Older version may need to be upgraded to provide full connectivity.
- Device Compatibility Mode - Listing the mode in which the modem currently resides.
- Slot - Slot of the connected modem (Slot 1 is a plastic SIM, Slot 2 is an eSIM in new Node Products)
Connection Details
- Network Status - Provides a status of the connectivity if a SIM is inserted into the device
- Carrier - Lists the current registered carrier
Node Configuration
Modem Function
Slot - Selects which slot the Node is configured to. In new Node Modems, slot 1 is the plastic nano SIM and slot 2 is the Teradek Standard Data eSIM.
Device Compatibility Mode - Configures the Node for compatibility
- Teradek Compatible (MBIM) - works with Teradek Devices and Windows & Linux computers.
- Ethernet Mode (ECM)- works with Linux embedded devices such as cameras, routers and other devices that support the CDC_Ether driver.
Ethernet (CDC_ETHER)
Ethernet configuration doesn't normally support "modem configuration" from the device so the modem must be configured before hand or the network may "AutoAPN" the modem.
IP Address Range - Optionally allows a user to change subnet of the modem in Ethernet mode. Useful for Multi path streaming. Supported by Node 5G and Node II with updated firmware.
APN & Carrier Lock
Configuration - Sets the configuration for Teradek Standard or Priority Data if applicable. Generally, most 3rd party sims will be in custom mode with the APN filled.
APN - auto populates if an APN is present in the PDP context line 1 (usually the Internet APN) or line 3 for Verizon based sims.
Carrier Lock - Allows registration via a PLMN code (a combination of the MCC MNC numbers) which represents a "Carrier Number." You can find your carrier PLMN here.
SIM PIN
The SIM pin function allows the unlocking, setting, and removal of the SIM PIN as well as PUK (Pin Unlock Key) unlocking.
Current PIN - the PIN on the SIM right now
New Pin - The pin you want to change to
Current PUK - enter in a PUK code to unlock and set a new PIN.
The Node platform cannot store the SIM pin. You must remove it for the Node to work.
Advanced Settings
IP Type - Forces the IP type to IPV4, IPV4V6, or IPV6. Default: IPV4V6
XLAT464 - Turns on IPV6 to IPV4 functionality for Generic MBN profile in the Node II
MBN Profile - Changes the MBN profile in the modem to Auto, Disabled, or Locked
For more information about MBN profiles in the Node Modems.
AT Commands
Allows custom entry and return of AT Commands for advanced usage.
