Cabling

One of the most common causes of problems is bad cabling. Make sure that all connected devices are turned on. On the front panel of the product is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper cables.

CHAPTER 3: BASIC INSTALLATION

The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Windows Vista / 7 / 8, 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.

APN: An APN is similar to a URL on the WWW, it is what the unit makes a GPRS / UMTS call. The service provider is able to attach anything to an APN to create a data connection, requirements for APNs varies between different service providers. Most service providers have an internet portal which they use to connect to a DHCP Server, thus giving you access to the internet i.e. some operators use the APN ‘internet’ for their portal. The default value is “internet”.

PDN Type: The IP type for PDN connections. Available types are IPv4, IPv6, and IPv4v6.

Authentication Protocol: Manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP (Password Authentication Protocol). When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, while CHAP encrypts the password before sending, and also allows for challenges at different periods to ensure that an intruder has not replaced the client.

Username/Password: Enter the username and password provided by your service provider. The username and password are case sensitive.

PIN: PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. A PIN code is a numeric value used in certain systems as a password to gain access, and authenticate. In mobile phones a PIN code locks the SIM card until you enter the correct code. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly into the phone 3 times in a row, then the SIM card will be blocked and you will require a PUK code from your network/service provider.

Connection: Default set to Always on to keep an always-on 4G/LTE connection.

Keep Alive / IP: Select Yes to keep the 4G/LTE connection always on. Manually enter the Keep Alive IP Address to be used for ping operation to check if the connection is still on.

Default Route: Select Yes to use this interface as default route interface.

NAT: Select this option to Disabled/Enable the NAT (Network Address Translation) function. Enable NAT to grant multiples devices in LAN to access to the Internet through a single WAN IP.

When router's Internet configuration is finished successfully, you can go to the Status to check connection information.

MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. The size of the largest datagram (excluding media-specific headers) an IP attempts to send through the interface. 0 means to use default MTU size, 1500byte.

Router Advertisements○ Disable ● Enable

There are two methods to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts, Stateless and Stateful.

Stateless auto-configuration requires no manual configuration of hosts, minimal (if any) configuration of routers, and no additional servers. The stateless mechanism allows a host to generate its own addresses using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers. Routers advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a link, while hosts generate an "interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an interface on a subnet. An address is formed by combining the two. When using stateless configuration, you needn't configure anything on the client.

Stateful configuration, for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In the stateful auto configuration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or configuration information and parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The Server maintains a database that keeps track of which addresses have been assigned to which hosts.

DHCPv6 Server: Check whether to enable DHCPv6 server.

DHCPv6 Server Type: Select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is available.

▶ Stateless: If selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server.
▶ Stateful: If selected, the PCs in LAN will be configured like in IPv4 mode, thus obtain addresses and DNS information from DHCPv6 server.

Start interface ID: enter the start interface ID. The IPv6 address composed of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID. Interface is like the Host ID compared to IPv4.

End interface ID: enter the end interface ID.

Leased Time (seconds): the leased time, similar to leased time in DHCPv4, is a time limit assigned to clients, when expires, the assigned ID will be recycled and reassigned.

Router Advertisement: Check to Enable or Disable the Issue Router Advertisement feature. This feature is to send Router Advertisement messages periodically which would multicast the IPv6 Prefix information (similar to v4 network number 192.168.1.0) to all LAN devices if the field is enabled. We suggest enabling this field.

Failover & Failback

Auto failover/failback ensures always-online network connectivity. When primary WAN link (WAN1) fails, all traffic will switch over to the backup WAN (WAN2) seamlessly.

Again, when the primary link is restored, traffic will be handled over from WAN2 to WAN1.

Keep Backup Interface Connected: Select the following option whether to keep the backup WAN (WAN2) interface connected to the Internet.

▶ Disable: Inactivate this feature.
▶ Always: Keep the backup WAN (WAN2) interface always connected to the Internet
By Signal Strength: Enable and initiate automatic backup WAN to connect to the Internet at all time until the RSRP / RSSI of primary WAN is greater than the Minimum RSRP / RSSI.
■ Minimum RSRP / RSSI: Set a minimum requirement for RSRP and RSSI for the primary WAN. Value range from -111 \~ -5. 0 means don't care/no need to check this value.

NOTE: Both the RSRP and RSSI cannot be 0 at the same time.

Connectivity Decision & Probe Cycle: Set a number of times and time in seconds to determine when to switch to the backup link (WAN2) when primary link (WAN1) fails and vice versa.

Example, Auto failover takes place after straight 3 consecutive failures in every 30 seconds meaning all traffic will hand over to backup link (WAN2) after primary link fails to response in total of 90 seconds, 30 seconds for 3 consecutive failures.

Note: Failover and Failback follow the same Connectivity Decision & Probe Cycle rule to failover from WAN1 to WAN2 or fallback from WAN2 to WAN1.

Failover/Fallback Rule Decisions:

  1. Probe by Ping: Enable Ping to the gateway or an IP address

▶ Gateway: Internal system will wait for responses to the pings from the gateway of the WAN.
▶ Host: Internal system will wait for responses to the pings from a fixed IP address.

  1. Probe by Signal Strength: Enable to measure the LTE signal strength

▶ Minimum RSRP / RSSI: Set a minimum requirement for RSRP and RSSI for initiating automatic WAN failback or failover procedures.

The valid range is from -111 \~ -5. 0 means don't care/no need to check this value.

NOTE: Both the RSRP and RSSI cannot be 0 at the same time.

Outbound Load Balance

The connections are distributed over WAN1 and WAN2 so that it can utilize bandwidth of both WAN ports. With Outbound load balance, traffic may be routed to a faster link when one of the WAN links is slower or congested so that user gains better throughput and less delay.

Outbound Load Balance Outbound Load Balance Based on Session Mechanism Balance by Session (Round Robin) Balance by Session weight : : Based on IP Hash Mechanism Balance by weight : : Save

User can distribute outbound traffic based on Session Mechanism or IP Hash Mechanism.

Base on Session Mechanism:

Balance by Session (Round Robin): Automatically assign requests/traffics to each WAN interface based on real-time WAN traffic-handling capacity.

OR

Balance by Session weight: Manually Balance session traffic based on a weight ratio.

Example: Session weight by 3:1 meaning forward 3 requests to WAN1 and 1 request to WAN2.

Base on IP Hash Mechanism:

Balance by weight: Use an IP hash to balance traffic based on a ratio. It is to guarantee requests from the same IP address get forward to the same WAN interface.

Protocol Binding

Protocol Binding lets you direct specific traffic to go out from a specific WAN port. Policies determine how specific types of internet traffic are routed, for example, traffic from a specific IP address is granted access to only one WAN port rather than using both of the WAN ports as with load balancing.

NAT

The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature transforms a private IP into a public IP, allowing multiple users to access the internet through a single IP account, sharing the single IP address. NAT break the originally envisioned model of IP end-to-end connectivity across the internet so NAT can cause problems where IPSec/ PPTP encryption is applied or some application layer protocols such as SIP phones are located behind a NAT. And NAT makes it difficult for systems behind a NAT to accept incoming communications.

Attention

Using port forwarding does have security implications, as outside users will be able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are advised to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires, instead of using DMZ. As doing so will result in all connections from the WAN attempt to access to your public IP of the DMZ PC specified.

If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual Server function will hence be invalid.

If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest way of configuring Virtual Servers is to manually assign static IP address to each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of IP addresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the router.

Example: How to setup Port Forwarding for port 21 (FTP server)

If you have a FTP server in your LAN network and want others to access it through WAN.

Step 1: Assign a static IP to your local computer that is hosting the FTP server.

Step 2: Login to the Gateway and go to Configuration / Advanced Setup / NAT / Virtual Server.

FTP server uses TCP protocol with port 21.

Enter "21" to Start and End Port Number. The MX-200Ae will accept port 21 requests from WAN side.

Enter the static IP assigned to the local PC that is hosting the FTP server. Ex: 192.168.1.102

Enter "21" to Local Start and End Port number. The MX-200Ae will forward port 21 request from WAN to the specific LAN PC (Example: 192.168.1.102) in the network.

VRRP

VRRP is designed to eliminate the single point of failure inherent in the static default routed environment. VRRP specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for a virtual router to one of the VRRP routers in a LAN. The VRRP router controlling the IP address associated with a virtual router is called the Master, and forwards packets sent to these IP addresses. The election process provides dynamic fail-over in the forwarding responsibility should the Master become unavailable. Any of the virtual router's IP addresses in a LAN can then be used as the default first hop router by end-hosts. The advantage gained from using VRRP is a higher availability default path without requiring configuration of dynamic routing or router discovery protocols on every end-host.

VRRP VRRP ○ Activated ○ Deactivated VRID 1 (1~255) Priority 100 (1~254) Preempt Mode ○ Activated ○ Deactivated VRIP 192.168.1.253 Advertisement Period 1 (1~2147483647) Save

VRRP: Click to activate the feature.

VRID: Virtual Router Identifier, range from 1-255 (decimal). A master or backup router running the VRRP protocol may participate in one VRID instance.

Priority: Specifies the sending VRRP router's priority for the virtual router. Higher values equal higher priority. The priority value for the VRRP router that owns the IP address associated with the virtual router MUST be 255. VRRP routers backing up a virtual router MUST use priority values between 1 and 254. The default priority value for VRRP routers backing up a virtual router is 100. The priority value zero (0) has special meaning indicating that the current Master has stopped participating in VRRP. This is used to trigger Backup routers to quickly transition to Master without having to wait for the current Master to timeout.

Preempt Mode: When preempt mode is activated, a backup router always takes over the responsibility of the master router. When deactivated, the lower priority backup is left in the master state.

VRIP: An IP address which is associated with the virtual router.

Advertisement period: Indicates the time interval in seconds between advertisements. Default in 1 second.

Static DNS

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide.

An often-used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the phone book for the Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example, the domain name www.example.com can be translated into the addresses 192.0.32.10 (IPv4).

Universal Plug & Play

UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of their device.

Both the user's Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in addition to the router.

Dynamic DNS (DDNS)

The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially useful for hosting servers via your internet connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP.

Here users can register different WAN interfaces with different DNS Providers.

If you do not have a DDNS account, please choose a DDNS Service Provider from the list then go to their website to create an account first.

CWMP (TR-069)

CWMP, short for CPE WAN Management Protocol, also called TR069 is a Broadband Forum technical specification entitled CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP). It defines an application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices. It defines an application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices.

As a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP based protocol it can provides the communication between customer premises equipment (CPE) and Auto Configuration Server (ACS). It includes both a safe configuration and the control of other CPE management functions within an integrated framework. In the course of the booming broadband market, the number of different internet access possibilities grew as well (e.g. modems, routers, gateways, set-top box, VoIP-phones). At the same time the configuration of this equipment became more complicated –too complicated for end-users. For this reason, TR-069 was developed. It provides the possibility of auto configuration of the access types. Using TR-069 the terminals can get in contact with the Auto Configuration Servers (ACS) and establish the configuration automatically and let ACS configure CPE automatically.
