Introduction to your Router
Congratulations on your purchase of the BEC 4700A / AZ ((4G/LTE) Wireless Outdoor Router).
This unit is a lightweight, an industrial-grade outdoor fixed wireless router with an IP68 rated enclosure to withstand extreme weather conditions and harsh rugged deployments. With integrated IEEE802.3at power over Ethernet (PoE) support, the BEC 4700A/AZ provides an easy installation from eliminating the need for a separate power and data cable.
Lightweight, Compact, and unobtrusive Design
With multiple mounting options and a lightweight, it is easily to install the BEC 4700 A/AZ by single person. The BEC 4700 A/AZ also has a built-in passive Gigabit Power of Ethernet (GPoE) so both data and power can be sent from the unit.
Designed for Challenging / Rugged Deployments
The BEC 4700 A/AZ is designed for the toughest industrial environments. With IP68 hardened enclosure with industrial-grade components, the BEC 4700 A/AZ can be installed in manufacturing plants, industrial automation, stadiums, convention halls, stadium facilities, school campuses, etc.
4G/LTE Mobility (BEC 4900AZ Only)
With 4G/LTE-based Internet connection (4G/LTE embedded module, requires an additional SIM card), you can access to the Internet through 4G/LTE whether you are seated at your desk or taking a cross- country trip.
4G/LTE Management Center (BEC 4900AZ Only)
BEC 4700AZ Mobile Management Center visually displays its current 4G/LTE signal status also calculates the total amount of hours or data traffic used per month, allowing you to manage your 4G/LTE monthly subscriptions.
New Experience with Wi-Fi Speed and Coverage
With the next wireless generation, 802.11ac, integrated in the BEC 4700 A/AZ, the router delivers fast Wi-Fi speeds of up to 2000Mbps. The BEC 4700 A/AZ supports a link rate up to 300Mbps in 2.4GHz frequency range & 1700Mbps in 5GHz range and is also backward compatible with existing 802.11 a / b / g / n wireless equipment in the network. The Wireless Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) and Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) features enhance the level of transmission security and access control over Wireless LAN. BEC 4700 A/AZ also supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard for easy and secure establishment of a wireless home network. If the user’s network requires

BEC 4700A / 4700AZ User Manual
wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution System (WDS) repeater function expands the wireless network without needing any external wires or cables.
IPv6 Supported
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed IPv4.
IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. The router is already supporting IPv6, you can use it in IPv6 environment no need to change device. The dual-stack protocol implementation in an operating system is a fundamental IPv4-to-IPv6 transition technology. It implements IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks either independently or in a hybrid form. The hybrid form is commonly implemented in modern operating systems supporting IPv6.
Quick Start Wizard

Product Overview System Recovery Procedure 23
BEC 4700A / 4700AZ User Manual
System Recovery Procedures
The purpose is to allow users to restore the BEC 4700A/AZ to its initial stage when the device is outage, upgraded to a wrong / broken firmware, cannot access to the GUI with wrong username and/or password, etc.
Step 1 – Configure your PC Network IP Address
Before performing the system recovery, assign this IP address and Netmask to your PC, 192.168.1.100 and 255.255.255.0 respectively.
Step 2 – Reset your BEC 4700A/AZ Device 2.1 Power off your BEC 4700A/AZ
2.2 Power on the BEC 4700A/AZ while pushing the RESET button with a small pointed object (such as paper clip, needle, toothpick, and etc.).
2.3 When the POWER LED turns RED, keep holding and pushing the RESET button for more 6 seconds then release it. The INTERNET LED will flash in GREEN afterward.
Step 3 – Restore your BEC 4700A/AZ Device
With INTERNET light flashes green, BEC 4700A/AZ is in recovery mode and ready for a new Firmware.
3.1 Open a web browser and type the IP address, 192.168.1.1, to access to the recovery page.
NOTE: In the recovery mode, BEC 4700A/AZ will not respond to any PING or other requests.
3.2 Browse to the new Firmware image file then click Upload to start the upgrade process.
3.3 INTERNET LED turns red means the Firmware upgrade is in process.
DO NOT power off or reboot the device, it would permanently damage your BEC 4700A/AZ.
3.4 INTERNET LED turns green after the Firmware upgrade completed 3.5 Power cycle on & off to regain access to the BEC 4700A/AZ.
Basic Installation 24
BEC 4700A / 4700AZ User Manual
C HAPTER 3: B ASIC I NSTALLATION
The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Windows 7 / 8 / 10, Linux, Mac OS, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly or through an external repeater hub and have TCP/IP installed or configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253).
The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it may also be advisable to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on how to best protect their network.
Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please check your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through the BEC 4700A/AZ. To configure other types of workstations, please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
