Teltonika TRB140
The Teltonika TRB140 is a powerful, yet easy-to-use 4G LTE Router. To make sure you have a head start and can use it with your Simbase SIM card, this guide will provide all the necessary steps.
Configuration
Before proceeding with your router setup, make sure you have activated your SIM card on your Simbase dashboard. In case you have not, please do so by referring to our SIM activation guide.
Please ensure that you are using the latest Teltonika router firmware, as older versions have different steps.
After activating a card, you can begin setting up the router by following the steps below.
Hardware preparation
Unscrew the panel to insert the SIM card.
Insert your Simbase SIM card into the routers SIM holder and insert close the device again.
Screw the antenna onto the connection point.
Insert the power cable into the router and power outlet.
Router start-up
Upon powering your router, it should take a few minutes for it to startup. Connect your PC via the Ethernet port.
After successfully connecting to the router, type in the following address into your browser address bar: 192.168.2.1. You will be prompted to the login page. Use username admin and password admin01 to log in.
💡 When logging in for the first time, you may be asked to change the default login password and follow additional steps.
Before proceeding any further after you log in, please enable advanced mode by clicking on 'MODE' in the top right corner.
Manual configuration
Navigate to 'Network' -> 'Interfaces'.
Click the pencil sign in the MOB1S1A1 box.
Unselect 'Auto APN'.
Keep all settings on default, except:
APN: --custom--
Custom APN: simbase
Scroll down and click 'Save & Apply'
After doing the steps up to this point, your SIM card now should connect to the Internet and be operational.
Configure via script
You can also choose to configure the router by copy-pasting the code below directly in the startup scripts section.
When logged in to the router, navigate to 'System' -> 'Custom Script'.
Remove everything from the input field.

Enable remote access
Teltonika routers support remote configuration. This feature can be useful in case you need the ability to remotely configure the device.
Follow the steps below to enable this feature.
Enable PING reboot
We strongly advise our customers to enable the PING reboot functionality. When enabled, your device will ping the Google DNS (8.8.8.8) every 5 minutes. If that PING is unsuccessful, it is likely that there is an issue with the mobile connection and the device reboots.
To set it up, please follow the steps in the video below.
Enable SMS reboot
If, for some reason, the device is not successfully setting up a data connection, you can still enforce a hardware reboot via SMS. To enable this feature, follow the steps in the video below.
To remotely reboot your device, send an SMS with the text: reboot
More on how to send an SMS can be found here.
